I could not have asked for a better experience with Marie! She took such good care of my dog, Muffin, and provided a ton of pictures and updates for us along the way. I could tell Muffin had a great time! She came home exhausted from a weekend of fun. Thanks so much, Marie!

They were so kind and accommodating for us the whole trip. Knew we were anxious about leaving our dog so communicated very frequently and sent lots of pictures and videos and you could tell how much they care about animals. So thankful to have people you can count on when you need some help. Would 100% recommend and use again. Thanks so much!!!

My dog Buster has stayed with Mark and Vicky multiple times now and I hope I never need to go elsewhere. They are very flexible with drop off/pick up and were very accommodating when our return flight home was cancelled. Lots of pictures every day and when he comes home he is calm and tired. They clearly enjoy the dogs and are very thoughtful about mixing personalities. I highly recommend them!

We recently left our dog Joey with Claire and Jim while we were away for two weeks. You can tell they are animal lovers and took care to introduce our dog to theirs carefully and slowly. They sent pictures and Joey looked right at home snuggling on their furniture with their dogs. Joey being a senior dog had some mild health issues and they were very communicative with their concerns sending us a video to be sure we thought he was ok. I appreciated there care and attention and would highly recommend them !

Thank you Mark and Elizabeth for taking such great care of Baxter while we were gone celebrating our anniversary. Thank you for the pictures of him having a great time. It’s great to know that there are people that will open up their homes and take in other peoples animals instead of having to leave them in a boarding house or somewhere else that they may not get very much attention or affection and play. You guys are awesome and we appreciate every thing . Jason and Dawn ( Baxter’s mommy and daddy)

Diamanta and Thomas are wonderful! They truly go above and beyond when taking care of our rambunctious labradoodle Penny! They know how to calm her down and welcome her into their home. She gets along great with their four-legged family members. We worry when leaving her as she can get separation anxiety, but they make her feel safe and take excellent care of her.

Emily was absolutely amazing. I can’t rave enough about her. She sent me pics of my babies every single day and updated me thoroughly on them. She went above and beyond in being the most helpful she could be and I have 0 complaints whatsoever! I’ll definitely be contacting Emily again in the future for my pet sitting needs. I’d highly recommend trusting Emily with your furry friend!!

About: Before I could have my own dog, I cared for friends' dogs of all shapes and sizes, with varying attention, activity, and health requirements, ranging from a 5lb teacup yorkie to a 130lb Bernese mountain dog. If your dog loves to lounge around the house, we can do that. But if they love a long hike and lots of backyard fetch, we can accommodate that as well. My sweet and gentle shepherd mix Gilligan loves to make new friends and is a great playmate. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to provide constant care and attention to your pup. My daily routine is structured around ensuring your pet's well-being and happiness. My friendly GSD mix Gilligan adores playtime, making it easy for your dog to have a playful companion throughout the day. Regular walks, exercise, and social interaction are a natural part of our daily schedule, guaranteeing an enjoyable experience for your furry friend. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm excited to welcome them into our dog-friendly home. Since my yard is partially fenced, I have 50 and 100-foot leads on hand for backyard playtime. I maintain open and honest communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, photos, and even video calls if desired. For the pets, I create a loving and consistent environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I've designed my home with pets in mind, making it a welcoming and pet-friendly space. There are play areas, cozy spots for relaxation, and all the necessary supplies for a comfortable stay. I also follow the pet's routines and dietary requirements closely, so they feel at home while away from home.

Jan is such a caring pet sitter. My dog had a medical emergency only several hours into the stay. Jan immediately called me and felt I should return to take him to ER…we had a 3 hr car ride back to get him and with in that time she took loving care of him until we returned…since then she has checked up on him and me to see how we are doing. You won’t go wrong booking Jan for your fur babies needs!
