Danielle is wonderful! She has been hosting Samson for daycare twice a week since he was 10 weeks old (now almost 15 weeks). Samson loves to play with her resident dog Sarge and comes home exhausted every time. He gets so excited when he realizes he's going to Danielle's in the morning!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. There has not been a time I have not had a dog. I help out in a dog kennel sometimes bathing and playing with the dogs. I do not have a job right now so I am home most of the time. I do leave the house in the morning and afternoon to care for my horses. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. The dogs that come to stay here are treated with as much love as I would give my own dogs.

Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!

Justin and Stephanie were amazing with Charlie. From the moment I met Justin I knew I had nothing to worry about! I received many pictures and plenty of updates even though he was only there for one day. Communication was excellent and thorough. I really appreciated how kind and considerate they were of my highly anxious sensitive pup and took great care to make him comfortable! Thanks again!

About: I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family for many years, and I’d love to offer my help with your precious friends too! I currently have a Bassett hound/springer spaniel mix named Moody Blues, but enjoy dogs of all sizes and even the sassiest cats! This is currently my main job, so ensuring my flexibility for you is priority! I look forward to working with you to make sure your pets are cared for. I love to visit and take care of friends! For dogs, we can walk, play at home, I can bring Moody Blues if your dog would enjoy visits, and I’m happy to take care of any cleanups or feedings as well. For my cat friends, I’m happy to take care of the same things, with offers of cuddles and lap time in place of the walks for the indoor kitties.

Joseph is awesome! He's very patient with my dogter Penni.. She's still a young puppy and I feel at ease when she's in uncle Joe's care. I also love the social skills she gets, while there, with her friends (the other dogs).. Coming from someone who's cautious, I would 100% recommend Joseph to also care for your fur babies!! 😊

We made a very last-minute request, but Jonathan responded immediately, willing to help. He was extremely easy to communicate with, and kept us up to date on what our little beagle was doing with his two adorable corgis during her six-hour stay. Next time we are in his area and need a sitter, we will definitely contact him.
