“Very accommodating and flexible. I’m so glad that you could look after our pup. I’m glad to also know that our girl can get along with your cats as well!!”


2. Megan M.

“Megan was a God-send for me. I needed a sitter to watch Gracie while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. 3 weeks before the wedding I had some car issues that resulted in added stress to me. Megan worked with me on getting things booked, and knowing that having Gracie taken care of w was so relieving during that time. Her kids were amazing with Gracie and we loved getting daily updates on our sweet girl. We will definitely use Megan and her boys for Gracie in the future. Thank you sooo much for loving our girl.”

“Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.”

“Ozzie had a quick one night stay and absolutely moved the stay. We're from VA and had a 2 day stop to catch up with college friends. Ozzie is a 5 month old puppy and had lots of play time. When he got in the car he fell a sleep almost immediately. Thanks for taking care of Ozzie.”

About: I have 5 years experience training and boarding dogs. I have 2 Dutch shepherds, 1 shihtzu, and 1 rescue currently. I am a NePoPo silver school graduate. I have partnered in training many dogs in bitework, obedience, and scent detection. I actively compete in frisbee, dock diving, and many other dog sports. I have experience with non social dogs and take pride in safety. I currently work full time but am free in the early mornings and evenings for walking. My boyfriend is usually home during the day. I am very flexible. I take pride in safety. Dogs will always be leashed and will not interact with other animals unless discussed with the owner. Dogs will never be in direct contact with other dogs. If crated, will be in a crate in a room with other crated dogs.

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”

13. Hailey & Justin S.
About: I am a stay-at-home mom who LOVES pets and has lots of time to love on them! My husband works from home, so there are always two adults available at all times for care and snuggles. We have a two-year-old, two sweet pups, and a senior rabbit living her best life in our sunroom. Our yard is not fully fenced, but we love going for family walks and live near a great dog park! We can accommodate most needs and schedule and can separate dogs if aggression is an issue. We can’t wait to pamper your pup! I stay-at-home full-time with a toddler and my husband works at home full-time. We have no issues accommodating frequent potty breaks or taking your dog for lots of walks! We have a partially-fenced yard, but take lots of walks around the neighborhood during the day. We have two sweet female dogs, but our border collie doesn’t always live sharing space. Separating her is not an issue as your dog’s safety and well-being is incredibly important to us. We absolutely love dogs and would love to get to know yours!


14. Kate W.

“Kate was AMAZING! She was so flexible as I had a last minute booking! She sent great videos and pictures throughout Astros stay and he looked like he was just right at home! I would 100 percent trust her again to watch Astro! Highly recommend!!”

“Awesome as always. The perfect, loving, low key environment for our golden Ellie. Susan and Doug are serious about doing the best for our baby. So many pics of Ellie smiling with toys , on walks, getting cuddles. I told DH that I thought Ellie wasn’t going to want to come home with us. Totally comfortable leaving Ellie there.”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life! From family dogs, to extended family, we’ve had Lhasa apsis, shitzus, pit bulls, boxers, and many in between! I have a love for all animals and hope to some day open up my own dog day care / boarding facility! While I work full time, someone (whether it’s my fiancé or myself) someone will be home every 4 hours to check in and give potty breaks! Our schedules are pretty flexible and our pup keeps up on our toes so we’re always ready for anything. I have a fenced in yard, and 1 friend loving pup who is fully crate trained. While I understand crating doesn’t work for everyone, it works for our pup and family! We have multiple crates of all sizes in our home that are available for use if you need it! The pups will sleep upstairs with us, whether in a crate or on a dog bed. We also have a basement area designated for inside play and activity. They’ll always have an eye on them and will be treated like our own!
