“Chelsea took wonderful care of Duke, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. When the weather was rough at drop-off, she was very accommodating, which immediately put me at ease. This was my second time booking with Chelsea, and she was just as attentive and thoughtful as before. It was obvious Duke was well loved and cared for in her home. I also really appreciated the care and play Duke received from her son — it was clear he was given lots of attention and affection. I felt confident knowing Duke was in such good hands and would absolutely have Chelsea as my go-to sitter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”

“Will absolutely be having her watch over Obsidian again, he had a blast I was so happy to have peace of mind while I was gone for a week. I always worry too much about him but she made sure to send pictures of him having fun daily!”

“Amanda was a fantastic choice to watch our Corgi, Regi while we were out of town for a couple of days. Amanda was very easy to coordinate and communicate with, she provided us with daily updates and even a picture of Regi having a great time with her family. Amanda and her family treated Regi like she was their own. We will definitely use her services again, and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again.”

“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”

“We were away for 7 days and Carly kept us updated daily with photos of Norman-he seemed happy and adjusted well with his stay! I would highly recommend Carly if you’re looking for someone who cares about your pet! We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”

“We're very happy with how Nicolle and Gary took care of our two labs! We really appreciated the safety conscious meet and greet ahead of their stay. Nicolle definitely seems to have a good handle on how dogs interact, so we had no worries during our trip out of town. And they have a beautiful backyard that any pup would love. Would recommend and will definitely use them again!”

“Very responsive and sent many pictures of the dogs. Ares, being a large puppy, is a lot, but Jeanne was so kind to take him in and watch my pups. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone in the area and would book again with her if needed!”


“Rhonda was great with my dogs over the weekend! She treated them as her own.She sent me videos and pictures of them having fun at her house! I look forward to bringing my dogs back and will refer her to everyone! Thanks for loving us! Ace and Bella!”
“Arya was sooo great with our dog Kawaii. His profile is so detail oriented and that is exactly how he was in person. He sent multiple videos daily. He explained everything in detail of what to expect during his care. Arya is knowledgeable, caring and I cannot say enough great things about his care. He got our dog to be more friendly with other dogs and not make her so scared by having her around his dogs. I truly felt at ease during our 2 week vacation, leaving Kawaii in his care. I like that he tailors his care to the dogs needs, when every dog is different. We look forward to more visits, and training soon!! Thank you again!!”

About: Growing up I always had dogs. They were always considered another member of our family. We always trained our own puppies. I've taken care of family members dogs before and puppy sitted in the past. I am a dog mom of two dogs currently. I love dogs and their unique personalities. I love to be outdoors so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available evenings during the week and all day on Friday through Sunday. But im always flexible so just let me know what you need and we can work things out to fit your pets needs. Making them feel at home and loved will be my number one priority. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies that will keep your dogs company. Or I can easily crate your dog if needed or I can separate them from my fur babies in another fenced in area. Whatever you prefer I can arrange.
“Jalaina did a great job looking after my dog Baxter. Typically, I board him with a kennel, but he hates being in a cage and restricted. Jalaina was all I could have hoped for. She sent numerous pictures of Baxter that allowed me to have peace of mind when I needed a last minute sitter and a “homey” environment for Baxter. He warmed up to her immediately and even got comfy on her couch. Also, she walked him daily and when I picked him up he wasn’t anxious as he has been in kennel environments. I almost forgot to mention that she watched my Mom’s dog as well in the same weekend. We wanted to board them together because they are with each other most days. I can’t say enough about Jalaina and her sweet and gentle spirit which is why I think both dogs had such an enjoyable stay and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
