“We needed care for our sweet coonhound while we skied Schweitzer for 3 days. Wendy took excellent care of our pup. He slept in her home and got lots of pets and affection. She made sure he had his seizure meds every am and pm. We are so grateful!”
“Tracy is the absolute best! My pup Papaya always has a blast whenever she stays with Tracy - she gets ton of social play time with other pups and always manages to make a new best friend 😄 also get photo and video pup-dates while I’m gone which I really appreciate! Tracy takes such great care of all the pups, I would highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in boarding their pup! Will definitely continue to board Papaya with Tracy 😊”
“Mandy did such a great job with Sadie! She seemed to really like it there. Mandy kept me up to date on how she was doing and sent pictures. Thank you again Mandy for taking good care of my babies Sadie.”
“Alisha sent daily pictures, offered a variety of activities for Leo, and he came home both happy and smelling great! She went above and beyond to make him feel welcome in her family, and me feel totally comfortable and relaxed knowing my pup was having a great time while I was away.”
“Trina's stay was amazing!!! She was treated like royalty. Lots of love and exercise. Julia is awesome and totally pampers your pet. When it rained, she put a jacket on Trina to play outside and the family gave her so much attention. The bath was the icing on the cake. Will definitely book with Julia any time we leave town and need a sitter. Above and beyond is all I can say!”
“Kym was very attentive to my little pup Piper. Piper is a nervous Nellie and I appreciate the extra effort Kym put into making Piper comfortable.”
“My dogs were well taken care of with Nicole. She kept me posted on how they were doing and has a great set up for housing pups, with property for dogs to walk and play. She was easy to work with and was able to watch my dogs with a last minute request. I highly ecommend!”
“We chose Kelly to watch our pup again while we were out of town. She gave our high energy puppy plenty of exercise and attention! Kelly communicated when schedule changes came up. We picked up a happy dog! Thanks for another great experience!”
“My first time with a sitter for my littler dog and I was so relieved to find Sara! She was so welcoming and happy to be with dogs and care for them. She sent pictures and updates for my whole trip. I be using her for all my future trips!”
“Their communication was great. They took our 8-month old puppy (Betty) into their family for 3 nights. They asked if I was OK if she went on a family hike and sent pictures of Betty on the hike. The whole family is kind and welcoming. Betty enjoyed her time there.”
“We have had Eva keep our Shih Tzu (Tuckee) several times now, and every time I feel better about leaving him. We have come to depend on Eva for our peace of mind. She has gone out of her way to accommodate us and always has a smile on her face. Tuckee has separation anxiety when left alone but feels right at home with her and actually runs up to her door when we drop him off. She always sends photos while we are away so we know that he is doing well. I highly recommend Eva, even though I worry that she will become so busy she will not be available when we need her.”
About: I have owned two wonderful labs from puppy age up until their sweet old age of almost 15. My dogs passed away a few years ago and I miss the companionship of a dog/s. I work from home and would love to keep your friend company. I have 10 acres (not fenced) and have lots of wildlife smells for your pup to enjoy! I can take them out for as many potty breaks as needed and I am willing to provide lots of belly rubs! I have two cats in the house so your dog will need to be okay with felines. I also have two indoor bunnies that are in a fenced off area. It’s fine with me if your pet is large or small.... I love them all! I work from home full time and can offer my companionship to your pet. They can relax right next to me and we’ll take several potty breaks throughout the day! I don’t have a fenced yard so I will always take walks outside with a collar and leash. We can go on walks during my lunch break.
“Natalie always does such a great job- our dog loves her and comes back tired and happy! It takes a special person to be able to handle giant breeds with such ease and we appreciate her very much. Highly recommend!”
“Our chocolate lab puppy was well cared for and happy as ever when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend Lynda! Worry free experience :)”
“Kassandra is really sweet and welcoming. My dogs were very happy when I picked them up from her and it seemed like they were taken care of well.”
“Brenda did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Brutus. she was a fantastic communicator and shared multiples pictures and updates during the day, assuring that he was in good hands. such a great experience with Brenda!”
“Ashley was so incredibly communicative sending thoughtful updates and pictures every day of our trip. She even sent home the sweetest take home doggy bag for our pup. We will undoubtedly be coming back to her for future services. So thankful for how well she took care of our old lady.”
“Ashley and Caleb are amazing! We had a meet and greet before the scheduled sitting, and I left there so comfortable knowing they'd love my baby and care for him to the best of their ability. They communicated well with me throughout our trip and make sure that we were happy. I would recommend them in an instant.”
About: I am a stay at home mom with one kid who loves animals and we have a black lab and a yellow lab puppy! Our lab has had two litters so my home is set up for any size and type of dog. We have a big back yard with tall fences and a separate fenced off area in the back with a good amount of room. We love animals in this house so chilling out with us on the couch is great! And if your animal likes to be left alone we are ok with that too we have a basement that is away from the kids if they need a separate sleeping space. My dog is great with other dogs so all I ask is that your animal is good with kids and my dog😁 the dogs are free to roam around home and yard. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all day except when I need to get groceries or have a doctors appointment! I have a big fenced yard with a tall wooden fence. There is also a good sized fenced in area within the back yard. If your animal needs a crate you will need to provide it. My daughter loves dogs so they need to be good with kids.
“Eileen is a wonderful sitter. She's friendly, responsive and flexible and my dog gave her 5 stars as well. He was immediately comfortable in her home and I'm not sure he even noticed we were gone! :-) She sent us super cute photos of our boy throughout the day which not only made us smile but allowed us to completely relax - he was obviously having a great time with her. We HIGHLY recommend Eileen and will definitely call on her again!”
