About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently have a rescue that is a Cur/Dalmatian mix. I fostered a German Shepherd and just found him his forever home! My previous pup was a pure bred red-nose pit! I work from home so am available for all needs! And yes, my dog does sleep on my bed! Lots of outdoor toys to tire them out! I have a fenced in yard and a “puppy pool” for those hot days! I live in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent dog walking route, even have a neighbor who put out dog treats in a mailbox for frequent walkers!

“Evvia was an amazing host. She kept in great contact and I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend!”


“We were nervous leaving our little pup for the first time. The care provider sent us pictures during her stay. Puppy was happy an well cared for during her stay. So comforting to now we have excellent options for puppy care.”


“Kristopher and his family are the absolute best. Our 6 year old Standard Bernedoodle had the 2 week vacation of a lifetime. Daily reassurances, updates and photos of our boy allowed us to fully lean into our own vacation. We saw him playing in Kristopher's fenced backyard-dog-dream park; sprawling on his new favorite sofa; being adventure walked around the farm; thoroughly enjoying skritches sessions; perfecting lazy afternoons watching the fam work and much more. Above and beyond: Kristopher happily administered twice daily pills to our dog. (Huge relief) Our biggest baby came home fluffy, soft, brushed and clean which is no small feat. Especially after all the outdoor fun. Pocket is one lucky dog who can't wait to return for another visit. And we are the most grateful dog parents!! Thank you, Kristopher and family!!!”

“Megan was great updating us with her observations of Gypsy (our Doberman) along with pictures of activities they were doing. We will definitely be a return client and recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter for your fur baby!”

“Romy had a blast while staying with Stephanie! They were professional and felt at ease leaving my pup there. I would 100% use their services again.”

“Suzanne was so kind to take care of my Puppers for the day over Memorial Day weekend. She sent many photos and kept me up to date at least 3 different times during the day. You cannot go wrong choosing Suzanne to care for your furry best friends!”

About: I've always loved dogs I don't have a ton of experience with dogs but have had dogs of my own growing up I love to play with dogs and walk them and give them lots of love I would treat whatever dog I had in my care as my own I'm a stay at home mom so your dog would get lots of attention from me and my children lots of cuddles and play time Your dog would always be on a lease or lead in my backyard as I don't have a fenced in yard but I have a big backyard again they would be cared for as If they were my own dog

“Soly went above and beyond in taking excellent care of my dog! He provided thorough daily updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Honey was happy and comfortable in his care. Looking forward to booking with Soly again and highly recommend to others!”


“Leslie took good care of our dog and kept us informed that he was having a great time. So glad she accepted on such short notice! I would definitely hire again.”

“Let’s just start by saying my puppy is not for the faint of heart! She is a gsp, so by nature is very hyper and energetic and let’s be honest…. Kinda crazy! Megan did an amazing job caring for her while I was away on vacation! I received daily updates which I loved because this was our first time away from her! And she has a friendly dog that kept her occupied the whole time!! Not once did I worry about my puppy while I was gone which is nice because this pup is like my baby! Also Megan has a fenced in backyard for additional play area which is also nice. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!! 😊🐶🐾”

“Vinnie is so well cared for when he visits Terry and his wife! Vinnie gets lots of interactions with other dogs, has a beautiful fenced in area to run around and lots of cozy places to nap! This allows our family to have a relaxing vacation and we enjoy the daily pictures from Terry! Thank you again! The Moliterno Family❤️”

“Remmy felt so loved during her stay and most of all we felt reassurance that she was being well cared for! If we ever need a sitter we will definitely be booking another stay.”

“Krysten cared for our 8 month old German Shepherd pup for a week with short notice when our previous arrangement cancelled. She made time to meet in advance and took our pup in while she was in heat. She sent videos and pictures while we were away. So grateful!”

“Charles, Casity and family did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He felt comfortable from the moment he entered their home. Communication was great and they kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. We highly recommend them!”

“Raluca was fantastic. She is a true lover of animals and took great care of our two pups. She keeps in contact and sent us photos of the great time our dogs had. We will definitely rebook with her for our boarding needs”

Suzy took wonderful care of Misty! She was very reassuring and sent us updates while we were gone. She walked Misty every day and spent time with her in the yard. The personal attention was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be having her care for Misty again!

I can’t say enough about how great Tatyana was for my dog while I was away for a long weekend. I received constant updates about the fun my dog was having and lots and lots of pictures. As a dog owner it can be stressful at times finding a sitter last minute and Tatyana was a perfect find! Terrific communication the entire time and made it a stress free weekend for myself knowing that my dog was in great hands while I was away. She also was watching over others dogs along with mine and they all became best buds as well. Very comforting to know I can count on Tatyana whenever needed in the future. 6 stars if it were an option.

David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!

Lindsay did a great job taking care of our new puppy for a week! I appreciated her thoroughness in doing a meet & greet before accepting our reservation request to make sure her pup & ours would get along. She sent photos & videos updates & was a great communicator. Our dog is definitely a people person and we could tell he got a lot of attention & felt at home & loved in Lindsay's home. We'd definitely book again. Thank you Lindsay!
