“James was such a wonderful caretaker for my Finn, who was well taken care of, had lots of play time, and he sent me many (pup)updates throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Rosie, James and family have boarded our corgi twice and our Layla does very well with them. They sent photos regularly and this time sent a video of her playing with their dog as well. Note: my husband dropped her off and forgot to point out her treats and dental chews and they were not used, but Rosie and James’ dogs shared”
“My experience with Amanda was outstanding! I was nervous about leaving my small older dog with someone new but the entire experience went very well. Amanda asked a lot of questions about him beforehand and kept in touch with pictures or information about how he was each day. I will definitely feel comfortable using Amanda each time we go away and hope she will be available.”

Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.”

She did such a great job that my pup came back very improved! I know he had a great time and is recommend for anyone and everyone to use Mary. She was so caring and sweet that I gave her hugs before leaving. Thank you Mary! You brought so much peace for me to complete my section hike of the trail!”

I could tell she genuinely cared about juniper and it made me feel at ease leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely book again!! Thanks again Kristel! You are the best!!”
“Steve and Monica were so great. I finally found a sitter I will no question use again. It was good to meet in advance to have our dogs meet each other, as well as meet their kids to ensure it was a fit and talk through any questions, habits, etc. They are experienced dog owners and made adjustments to make sure my dog fit in to their home, had her space, and felt welcome and loved as if she was in her own home. I appreciated their daily update and easy handoff/pick up.”
“Jen was very flexible and accommodating regarding our drop-off and pickup times; most importantly, she was so warm and loving toward our pup!

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.
About: I have many years of experience with taking care of dogs, including my own, friends and roommates, and others. I love to take them for walks, play to get their energy out, and relax to give them quality time. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can provide care at almost any time of day, including evening and over night visits. I have a reliable car that I use for transportation. I am comfortable taking care of pets in a client’s home, from walks, day visits, to overnight stays and more. I have experience working with family to provide care for multiple pets and have cared for multiple on my own.

John-Paul R.
“John-Paul was excellent with my reactive dog. My dog has some anxiety around other dogs so walks in public can be tough so John-Paul has always been super careful about where and when he walks him. John-Paul is also always very respectful when he is in my home, he is polite and respectful to both myself and my Dog. I would recommend any dog owner to John-Paul.”
