“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“Cheryl A. was fantastic with our Bella. We are so pleased with how pampered and well taken care of Bella was while in her care. We got lots of pictures and updates on Bella. Never had to worry for the two weeks we were gone. Bella loved her and she cared for her like her own. We will definitely continue to use her when needed. Kathy and Jim Hardin.”
“I am so glad that I found Paige. She did an awesome job with Charlie! Charlie gets a little worked up when he is boarded so he almost always has diarrhea when he comes home. This time he did not have any stomach issues when he returned home! That’s a plus for us. Paige is flexible and her communication is on point. She sent us pictures, videos, and kept us updated on how Charlie was doing. Charlie looked so happy! I would definitely use Paige again!”
“As soon as we were going out of town we knew right away we wanted our Honey girl to stay with Aurora and her sweet family! Aurora is quick to send updates with pictures and quick to respond. When we go pick up honey from her stay, she is so well taken care of and tired out from a good time. ☺️”
“Samantha was so wonderful! She was able to take my two dogs Remy and Piper on short notice I was in town for my son’s wedding and Samantha came to my hotel to meet us and then was able to care for them during all the festivities. She picked them up and also brought them back. She was so loving and kind to them. I just fell in love with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Samantha, from the bottom of my heart!”
“Kylie is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Brownie. He can definitely be a barker, but he’s a sweet, lovable boy, and she was so patient and understanding with him. She really treated him like he was part of her own family. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry about how he was doing. She even asked about his preferences and routines to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Brownie looked happy and relaxed, and that says everything. He totally didn’t miss me when I picked him up lol. You won’t find anyone like her. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”
“Lily was GREAT with my 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy and requires more attention. She gave me updates on how they were doing along with pictures. Really put my mind at ease to see how well they were doing. Anyone would be happy to have her watch their animals.”
“Keitel and his wife are wonderful and very knowledgeable in Frenchies and Frenchie Care. Constant and responsive communication. I cannot leave my babies with anyone else! Thank you !”
About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!
“Left my 2 golden retrievers with Debbie for 2 days/1 night, and they seemed to have the time of their life! Debbie was so flexible and responsive, and sent a photo of them during their stay. Will absolutely be booking again for future boarding needs!”
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“My dog was very well cared for and came home from his 4 day stay happy and tired! Halie sent pics and videos everyday. It was obvious he was very comfortable and felt right at home. He can be anxious especially when away from home so I am super happy with Halie!”

Cheryl is a very experienced dog sitter and doggy daycare provider, which was a big positive for me. She gives lots of love and attention to the dogs and sends updates and photos while they are staying with her. I think my dog had a good time and felt safe and cared for, and that’s the best thing when you’re out of town.
