“Ashley is a wonderful dog sitter. This is the first time she met my two frenchies. She asked excellent questions concerning each dog and jotted down notes. We received great updates n pictures during and after their stay. Looking forward to their sleep over this weekend!🐾”
“Our dog Cooper absolutely loves his day care with Justin and Nathalie. Not only do they take care of him, but keep him running all day with toys and activity.”
“10/10 They’re awesome! We were previously using a bigger daycare center that was overwhelming our little guy, with Justine & Brett he doesn’t want to leave their house 😂 they communicate well and are very flexible. We’re deeply grateful for the love and attention they gave our Gibbs.”
“Victoria was responsive and able to take care of Luna in a last minute request within the hour. Luna had a fantastic time playing with cats and her good boy Cowboy. I will definitely use Victoria again!”
“Karissa is awesome. My Stu has so much fun and I love the photos and updates she shares. Any pup would be lucky to spend some time with Karissa, her people and fur family. Glad I found her!”
“I'm SO grateful for Lauren. I have a small puppy - still house training and chewing everything. Lauren took so much care to puppy proof her space and went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed having Scout in her home and Scout LOVES her. I'm so so grateful❤️”

“Dana was fantastic as always! She was able to fit our dogs into her schedule with short notice and was so accommodating when our appointment ended up being longer than expected. We are so lucky we found her and happy to be one of her repeat clients.”
About: I have experience handling animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained dogs in obedience and even competed at the state level with our family dog. Your pet may go home knowing more tricks than when it came! Although I don't have a vet tech certification, I have 2 years experience working at a vet clinic, and experience giving injections, pills, and other medical care to pets.

I have a fenced in yard and an energetic dog to play with yours! When I am not home, all dogs are crated for their own safety.

About: Hello! Our family frequently dog-sits for friend's and family. We love it! We know how hard it can be to find someone to care for pets overnight in a home and decided to start boarding. We will treat your dog like our own! We only can care for dogs who are potty trained and are friendly with children and other dogs. Our youngest child is 9 years old and plays appropriately with dogs. My husband and I both work for home. We will treat your dog like our own and incorporate he/she into our daily schedule with our own dog. A typical day starts with breakfast and a morning walk. Afternoons include naptime and backyard play time in our fenced in yard with the kids when they get home from school. Evening include dinner and another walk. Your dog will have access to our fenced in backyard. Our family has a two year old mini goldendoodle. She is past the puppy phase and enjoys playing with other dogs. Your dog will join in our family routine which includes morning and afternoon walks. We can adapt our schedule to fit your dog's needs.
“This was the first time we used Destiny, and we’re very happy with how well she treated Ottis on his visit. He immediately made himself at home, cuddled up to her and went to sleep! That’s the strongest endorsement I can give! Also, she was a pleasure to deal with. We had plans in the city and didn’t know exactly when we’d be back, and she was very accommodating to our schedule to pick him up. We’ll definitely use her again the next time we have plans and can’t take the Fur Baby with us!”

Lauren was absolutely amazing with my Bear. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. Lauren kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter—reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to treat their pet like family!
Nicci was amazing! She responded fast and made sure to update me. I was able to enjoy my friends baby shower with no problems at all! Thank you Nicci for treating my pups with love and care. Definitely recommend her and when we come back to visit will be booking with her again!!!
