It was easy to communicate and coordinate with Brian. Bandit came home worn out which is a sign of a good day for him! We would definitely book Brian and Bindi again.

Stephanie was super nice, we were able to meet her and one of her cute dogs the day before leaving our puppy with her! She has a great yard for the dogs to play in. She answered our messages very fast and she sent cute pictures of out little boy! Great experience! I will contact her again next time I have to work long hours.

I can't speak highly enough of Kristine! I took a chance on a day care near my work and sent a request to her the night before needing her. Upon meeting her the next morning, all my apprehensions left! She was genuinely welcoming to me, but more importantly, to my pup, Bella. You know how you kinda wish your pet would look back and wonder why you're leaving them especially at a brand new place? Bella pranced right up to Kristine's house and was ready for the day's adventure. Clearly, I was more nervous than Bella. Kristine sent me an update within the first hour to let me know Bella was doing fine. It was even more exciting to hear that my little Bella was playing well with Kristine's bigger dog, Gio. What a twosome they were! Thank you, Kristine, for making this work emergency of mine doable and caring for Bella so lovingly.

We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!

Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!

Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.

About: Hi, I’m Claire, and I’d be thrilled to care for your non-shedding, fluffy companion! NOTE: My home is currently open to non-shedding dogs only due to my husband's allergy. I’ve loved animals my whole life—growing up with a cat, bunny, and dog. I waited until I had a home with a fenced yard to get my own dog, a 3-year old Goldendoodle, who I’ve trained through classes and now partner with as a certified therapy dog team. I’m great with puppies to seniors and comfortable administering medication. Your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. When staying with me, your pup is free to safely explore, roam, and play in a fully fenced yard with a doggy door for easy outdoor access. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks and walking trails, offering plenty of opportunities for adventure. Your dog will enjoy both indoor and outdoor social time, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes throughout their stay. To ensure we're a good fit, please reach out to schedule a meet and greet. Requirements for a great stay: It’s important that your pup is friendly with people and dogs of all sizes, and comfortable in a shared social setting. Dogs should be able to read and respond positively to human and canine social cues. At this time, I’m unable to accommodate dogs who: - Experience severe separation anxiety - Bark, mark, mount, howl, or whine excessively - Are destructive or aggressive - Are barrier reactive or escape artists (e.g., jump fences, dig under, open doors) - Have a high prey drive or extreme energy - Persistently dominate other dogs My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and happy environment for every dog in my care. Transparency about your pup’s behavior helps ensure the best experience for everyone! I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule tailored to your dog’s needs. My desk is in the main family room—so if your pup loves the couch, they might just make a cameo in my video calls! I can arrange my daily routine around your dog's playtime, potty break, walk, and snuggling needs. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with a doggy door, so dogs can come and go freely—if you’re comfortable with that. I also offer fully supervised outdoor time. Inside, pups are welcome on the couch and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable: a dog bed, crate, or even a human bed. Our own dog sleeps on her bed at night, but we’re happy to accommodate your dog’s preferences. Currently only accepting non-shedding dog's due to husband's allergy.

About: 🌿 Loving, Experienced, Home-Based Dog Care Hi! I’m Shontay, and I’ve been a dog mom for over 10 years. My own dogs are spoiled, well-trained, and great with visitors. I work from home full-time, so your dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection all day long. 🏡 Safe, Comfortable Home Environment I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door that makes potty breaks and outdoor play easy. I’m patient and experienced with helping dogs learn how to use the dog door, especially shy or younger pups. My dogs are potty trained and friendly with other dogs, so everyone settles in quickly. 🐾 Special Love for Nervous & Skittish Dogs One of my regular clients has a very skittish puppy who doesn’t like many people, but he bonded with me immediately—that’s how I earned the job. I move slow, speak gently, and let dogs set the pace. I want every pet to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my home. 💛 What Your Dog Can Expect Here • A calm, loving environment • Lots of outdoor time in a fenced yard • Patience, guidance, and structure • Respect for their personality and comfort level • Updates so you always know how they’re doing I’d be honored to care for your dog like one of my own while you're away. Your baby’s happiness and safety will always come first. Thanks for your time cant wait to meet u and pup I work from home so I'm always here so that's why I'm looking for more things I can do from home I can't wait to meet my new furbabies I have a dog door available a fence day in backyard and I will give your dog what I call a scragge and massage and scratch together my dogs Love them lol hope to hear from u soon I have delivered 5 of my dog's puppies so I do know how to deliver puppies I do know doggy 1st a care and I have a dog door a dog doorbell and I'm just really good with dogs overall so please choose me have a good day thanks for your time

Rachel was very welcoming to my high energy dog. While in the end it wasn't a good fit, I appreciate that Rachel was willing to give it a try. I also appreciate how responsive she was during the initial reservation set up and meet and greet. She is clearly a caring animal lover and I would recommend her!

Thank you so much for watching Tonka! He had an absolute blast — he came home, flopped over like he had just run a triathlon, and then gave me that “I had the best day ever” look. It’s obvious he adored hanging out with you and your family. The Best. Honestly, you were super awesome with him, and I’d happily recommend your dog‑watching superpowers to anyone who needs a reliable, fun, and all‑around amazing sitter. Tonka is already lobbying for his next “vacation” at your place.

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sitter for my energetic and lovable 5.5 year old sheepadoodle (Mabel) Jackie has a doodle (Vinny) and the two doodles got along great. Jackie greeted Mabel and I with kindness and reassured me that Mabel is in good hands. She sent photos along with an update about how things were going. I will definitely be contacting Jackie again for taking care of Mabel; she’s absolutely fabulous!
