Sharon was very good and patient with my baby pup. She took him when so many others wouldn't. Thank you Sharon for caring for my Koda. I highly recommend her.

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!

Excellent experience. Danielle was attentive, friendly and my dog seemed to have a great time. Her house is accommodating with a large yard to run. Would recommend.

About: Hi! My name is Geosselyn, and I’m 31 years old. My love for animals is what led me to the wonderful world of pet sitting. I’ve had pets all my life, and my bond with them has only grown stronger into adulthood. I have over 7 years of experience as a dog walker, pet sitter, and dog boarder. My experience comes not only from caring for my own pets but also from helping friends, family, and volunteering at shelters throughout the years. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m married with two amazing kids, ages 14 and 5. We share our home with two dogs—a Pug and a Maltese and two cats—a Russian Blue and a Tuxedo. They bring so much joy to our lives! We live in the countryside with a fenced backyard and plenty of space for pets to run and play. I’m currently available full-time or part-time during both weekdays and weekends, so your pet will get lots of attention and care. We’re so excited to meet your pets and welcome them into our home! ❤️🐾 I’m currently available to work full time or part-time, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your lovely pet during weekdays and weekends.

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.

About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We have a fenced yard. We back up to mikes of hiking trails for walks and runs always on leash. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.

Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!

Claudia is great with my little fur baby! She spends extra time with him and is very gentle with him. I can tell that he enjoys her company. I can tell that she is well educated when it comes to dealing with animals and has even taken the time to teach me some tricks and tips as I am a first time dog owner with crazy long hours at work. I will definitely be using her services frequently.

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!

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats—and have taken great pleasure in doing so—since I was a kid. I’ve also had a chameleon and turtles, and am always eager to learn! I am currently unemployed and have ample time to walk your pups, host them at my house, and more! I lost my own dog earlier this year and have boundless love and care ready for the pets of my community! I live in a house with a large backyard (unfenced). I also love taking long walks and have been missing the company of a fur baby when going! If crate trained, you will need to provide a crate.

Joseph took such good care of Pablo! Cold or snow! Got plenty of outdoor time. Pablo recovered so quickly from tummy issues in Joseph’s care. Extra pampering, extra outdoor time, extra cuddles. Pablo loves Joseph!
