“I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!”

“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”

They seemed so happy and comfortable with her, and it made being away from them so much easier knowing they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using Ashly again if she’ll have us!”

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I'm not just a dog lover - I've been a dog mom to just about every size and personality. Over the years I've had a Chihuahua, Lab, Olde English Bulldog, American Staffordshire amd now we have an American Bully. I’m very comfortable with strong, energetic breeds as well as tiny lap dogs who think they run the house. We currently have an 80lb American Bully named Rosco. I particularly love the bully breeds - no judgment, just structure, play, and lots of affection. I know how to read body language for both a nervous 4lb Chihuahua and an 80lb Lab who thinks they’re a lap dog. I’ve cared for a dog who required a strict daily medication routine, so I am meticulous about timing, dosages, and watching for side effects. Pills, liquid meds, special feeding schedules - I’ve done it all and I take it seriously. My home is calm with a structured routine. My husband and I are early to bed and early to rise. I keep a clean but dog-proofed home with a predictable routine for potty breaks, walks, play, and rest. We walk in the mornings and sometimes again in the evening if the weather allows. I only book one client at a time so your pup(s) will get plenty of attention! It’s also important that your dog gets along with mine so I will schedule a meet and greet before we confirm. This helps ensure it’s a good match for everyone. I promise to send lots of updates, photos, and videos so you never worry. Your pup will be treated like family here - safe, loved, allowed on the couch and in the bed and very well cared for while you're away. I have a securely fenced yard and inside my home dogs have plenty of places to lounge, with dog beds, toys, and a quiet areas for naps. My home is non-smoking, no kids. We have one American Bully named Rosco. Rosco is neutered, two years old, about 80 lbs and loves other dogs. Rosco is a high energy dog who does best with dogs who are playful but also tolerant. Rosco also does great with smaller dogs and puppies. I am open to dogs over 40lbs but not more than 75lbs. I never leave dogs unattended without them being kenneled. I am home most of the day but utilize kennels when we’re gone for everyone’s safety. We follow a twice a day feeding schedule and I will gladly follow your instructions to the letter for feeding, crate time, and walks. I’m currently between jobs and have plenty of time for pet care. My husband works during the week and is around in the evenings and the weekends to help care for our pups. I have a fenced in yard a very friendly bulldog named Rosco to keep your pup company. I can also crate your pup if needed.

They took the time to understand her schedule and habits which really shows just how much they care. Wouldn't hesitate to have them watch our girl again!”

About: I enjoy going on long walks to grays lake. So I can allow dogs to get their energy out! I have a 3 year old Weimaraner, and also used to have an Australian shepherd. I’m familiar with all different breeds! My parents have 3 dogs and bred a couple times so I have also experienced taking care of a bunch of puppies. I work full time during the week until 4, my dog stays in a kennel when I am not home and spends the evenings going on long walks and also play time at the dog park at my apartment complex. She doesn’t sleep in her kennel she gets cuddles all night! If your pet is trained well and doesn’t need to go in a kennel, I am okay with letting them be out and roam around.

We had a great experience with Elizabeth! She responded quickly to our booking request, kept us updated throughout our pups' stay, and sent pictures. Bailey is an older dog with some health concerns, and Lucy can be selective around bigger dogs, but both dogs did wonderfully with Elizabeth and her dogs. We would definitely book with her again!

We are extemely pleased with our decision to book with Casandra. We are “first-timers” and we were gone for 9 nights. Casandra sent pictures and videos of our two boys every day, usually several times a day. They looked like they were having fun and not anxious at all. They looked right at home with Casandra. We will certainly be booking another visit with her! Thanks Casandra. Maverick and Goose send their love and snuggles.

Big thanks to Alexandra for taking such good care of my boy! She was able to accommodate a near last minute request when my prior arrangements fell through just a week before my vacation, and was very understanding when a delayed return flight out of Chicago meant an extra night of boarding. Thanks! Artoo can't wait to visit again.

Mary was very responsive to all questions and need for our 9 1/2 year old golden retriever. Maya had a great time with Mary, and she can be a bit anxious at times when she doesn't feel loved or cared for. Maya came home happy and at ease, which speaks volumes for the care Mary provided. Highly recommend.

Andrea took great care of our dachshund, Cari, while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She sent us updates and photos during Cari’s stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Cari came home calm, and all of her belongings were returned in great condition. We would definitely trust Andrea to care for Cari again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you again, Andrea!

Mandy usually is very anxious when left anywhere but she seemed quite happy and content with Alicia and her family. Mandy also liked her dogs, Bennie and Mila, which helped keep her from being anxious. Alicia provided pictures and updates which gave us much comfort. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again when she is available.

Amanda did a great job giving my and her dog time to get use to each other. It was a little rocky at first meet but they showed promise. She did great making sure they had the space they needed until they warmed up. By the end of our trip they were comfortable relaxing with each other and even played some tug together. Her pictures were also great and were a nice treat every morning (time zone difference) for us. A meet and greet and maybe and maybe a night to test the waters would be recommended but she does a great job managing the energy of the pack.
