“Jaclyn and her family were so great with Tilly! I’m so happy to have found them. They took Tilly for an overnight with pretty short notice. This was our first time boarding her and she has a bit of separation anxiety, so I was a little nervous to see how she did. But I could tell from the videos they sent of her meeting each dog and then the updates they sent throughout her stay that she felt right at home and was having the time of her life. She’s passed out cold now which is always a good sign. Thanks so much Jaclyn and Eric!”


“Laurie was so great and easy to work with! We highly recommend her as a sitter. She took great care of our dogs and sent pics to us each day so we could enjoy our vacation and still know that the pups were doing well! We would love to use her again the next time we go away.”


“Taylor is AMAZING! She is very accommodating. I was a bit nervous since this was our first time having a dog sitter, but Taylor made sure I was comfortable with everything. She is great at communicating and sending updates. Have Taylor has your dog sitter, she is the best! I would recommend Taylor to everyone I know.”


“Thank you Michelle for taking wonderful care of our 16 year old. Maltese, Murphy! Your experience and expertise was evident in the way you supported and cared for Murphy’s needs. We are so grateful to have found you! 💛🐾”


“Katelyn and her family were awesome! Thanks so much for taking such good care of Leo and Pumpkin in their lovely home and also awesome fenced in backyard. Our pups came home well taken care of and tired. Will definitely use Katelyn again. Thanks again!”


“Jessica was very responsive and shared pictures of Gertie during her 4 day stay. It was a positive experience for Gerties first time away from home and Jessica handled having a rambunctious 9 month old great dane well! Would definitely recommend and will use Jessica again.”


“I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the moment I met Hannah and her husband, it was clear they have a true love for animals. Hannah is reliable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Reggie. Throughout the multiple times they watched my dog, they kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease.”


“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”


“Leaving our pup with Julie is like leaving him with family. Jameson is so excited when he gets there to see Julie and play with the other dogs she has there. Would highly recommend!”


“Courtney was great watching our dog Pippin! She was very communicative and also sent great pictures. Pip can be a little nervous in new situations and she seemed to have a good time and Courtney set her at ease. Thanks so much!”


“We’re so grateful that Ally took amazing care of Zeus — he got sick his first night at her place and she was wildly accommodating and took so much extra care of him. She went to our vet to get him medicine and pivoted to care for him in our home which added a lot more travel to and from her apt to ours. She got him healed up with the prescription food from our vet and we are so grateful. Thank you Ally !”

About: I combine patience, experience, and genuine affection for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s an energetic pup, a gentle senior, or a shy cat, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel at home. Taking care of pets is part of my regular routine. I like to get outside and stay active by walking and running dogs, and I make sure to spend quality time giving pets the attention and love they deserve. It’s something I enjoy and look forward to fitting into my days. I prioritize safety and comfort above all when caring for pets. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming pets into mine, I will make sure the environment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I will also follow any specific instructions you provide and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and am responsive to any needs or concerns.

“Christina watched my senior beagle on short notice and took amazing care of him! He can be a bit stubborn (and a bit loud when he decides to howl), but she treated him like one of her own pups. I got plenty of updates and photos, as well. I knew he was in great hands - thank you Christina!!”


“Heather is amazing and truly cares for the fur babies with her whole heart. Jetty is such a cute gal and a good friend to the other pups. Very happy with her care. Very responsive with communication. Would definitely use her again.”

dana w.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dana and her pet care services! She has a truly amazing way with animals. They are naturally drawn to her calm, loving energy. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, they seem to instantly trust her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about all the basics of pet care, from feeding and exercise to behavior and safety and she always goes the extra mile to make sure every animal’s individual needs are met. I always feel completely at ease knowing my pets are in her hands. Not only is she great with animals, but she’s also one of the kindest and most friendly people you’ll ever meet. She treats every pet like they’re her own, and it shows in the way they respond to her, tails wagging, purring, happy and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and provides top-notch care, I highly recommend Sacred Bond. She’s the real deal!”
