1. Lily F.


“I feel so fortunate to have found Lily to stay with my two dogs for ten days! They are accustomed to a WFH lifestyle with in/out on request access to the yard throughout the day, three meals plus snacks and rarely being left on their own for more than five hours at a time. I knew that a sitter who also worked a regular schedule away from home would be such a disruption to their sense of normal and could lead to stress behaviors. Fortunately for me and them, Lily was available to stay and maintain their routine while providing excellent care. I knew when they met Lily that they would be happy in her care. They typically take some time to calm down when meeting new people but with Lily they both relaxed next to her on the couch very quickly. While I missed the girls while away I did not worry about them. I was confident they were receiving excellent care every day. I received daily updates and photos from Lily which were very much appreciated. My home was super tidy and cleaner than when I left AND Lily kindly washed the sheets and remade the bed so when I arrived home just before midnight I could just relax and quickly get to sleep.”

6. Raelyn H.
“Raelyn is my girlfriend and used to dog sit for my family when we would go on vacations or visit my sisters in college. She has not once disappointed my parents. She always kept them fed and watered and took them out when needed. She would play outside with them and gave them the upmost attention. She loves animals including her dog Parker. I think Rover is right up her alley.”

8. Josh W.
“Finding a reliable pet sitter who genuinely cares for your furry and scaly family members can be a challenge, but once Josh started watching them I knew they were getting the attention and care they needed. Not only did he diligently look after my beloved dogs Lily and Frida, but he also showed exceptional care for my bearded dragon, Tanzanite. Whether it was staying overnight to house sit or taking them for walks, I always felt at ease knowing they were in reliable hands. His attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and commitment to their well-being set him apart. I highly recommend Josh for anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their pets.”

15. Sarah F.

“Sarah was very communicative and kept us filled in throughout the stay. She left our home very clean.”


16. Hannah P.

“We went away for 5 days and Hannah stayed in our home with our 2 dachshund pups and our Kitty. She followed all directions and kept the pups on their normal schedule. My babies were well taken care of, and happy when we got home. Hannah sent photo updates every day and let me know they were all doing great. I would definitely recommend Hannah & hope she will be available again in the future for my pups!”


17. dolly g.
“Hello! Dolly has been taking care of our Brandy when we go in trips for the last 3 years so when we added a puppy to the family in 2024 it was only natural that we entrusted her to take care of Darla too. When separated from us Brandy can get anxious and get an upset stomach but when she stays with Dolly it is as close as she can get to being at home without being at home. We would not trust our four legged babies to anyone else if we was going out of town.”

About: Hello, my name is Blaze! I am a professional dog trainer who recently relocated to these beautiful mountains. I have more than 5 years of professional dog training experience, working with many different breeds and breed mixes over the years. I offer professional and homely pet sitting services, where your pets comfort and your personal needs are always priority. I started working with dogs along side my father many years ago, venturing off to learn all there was to know. I have always loved dogs, understanding who they are and enjoying them for it. It can be difficult to find someone who has the experience and means to provide care for senior dogs, aggressive dogs, or dogs who have behavioral problems. My years of training experience have given me more than enough skills to provide services to those others may be quick to turn away. I board dogs of all ages and sizes, cost doesn’t vary based on the size of your dog. Affordable pet sitting designed for dogs by someone who others refer to as a “dog encyclopedia”. My home is located conveniently on over 1.5 acres just for dogs to be dogs. It is quiet and private, giving your pet the closest home away from home feeling. Your dog stays with me inside of my home, not in a separate building where i can’t see them. I provide picture and video updates; am CPR certified, and have a degree in veterinary assistance I have open availability, I am always home unless I have taken the dogs out exploring. I like to get the dogs out and about so that they can enjoy some tourism during their stay I practice safe handling, I do not expose dogs to strange environments that they’re not comfortable in. I use pet safe cleaning products and clean surfaces during each dogs stay and between dogs, using Kennelsol (veterinary grade) inside and outside where dogs play and potty. All dogs are monitored 24/7 on a Ring. Dogs can free range my home, but when not physically supervised are safely and comfortably confined to prevent any harm. Dog social dogs are allowed to play with other dogs, whereas those who are more reserved are given freedom to explore independently. All dog/dog interactions are monitored, any interaction that is inappropriate is handled immediately to prevent any harm. I board 3 dogs over-night at a time, but I can take 3 additional dogs for daily boarding. This is so that I am able to focus on each individual dog and providing a safe environment for them. I provide video and picture updates daily. Baths are given with warm water and Greek yogurt shampoo, I take the time to desensitize dogs so as not to create a negative experience. Dogs are given nail trims and their coats are blown out, then brushed.

“You could not find a better person to watch your pets. He is very polite and responsible. He kept my house clean, and the pets feed according to the schedule. I recommend him highly.”

I am home for the summers from college as well as some weekends here and there. I don’t currently have a job and plan to do this as much as possible! I can take care of your pets in your home, or mine depending on the animal. I can either stay in the home, or stop by through the day. Whatever you would like!
