“Sent me lots of updates and pictures!! Took my dog out frequently and played with him. Very flexible and easy to work with! Came home to a clean house and happy puppy.”
2. Jami W.
“Jami responded on short notice and was able to take care of my home and dog over a weekend. She had to improvise through undesireable circumstances and still I came home to a happy dog and protected home. Worth the cost.”
3. Meretta D.
“With my one dog we needed someone to stay with her for the day, just to help keep an eye on her & keep her content with her routine. Meretta was so good with our dogs & helped our one dog cope with me being gone for the day. She also helped our skittish cat feel safe with her & helped him warm up to her during her stay. I loved how aware she was when any of our pets were feeling anxious & helped them work through it to feel safe with her in our own home.”

6. Riley H.
“Riley is a true animal lover. With several pets of her own, Riley can care for cats, dogs, and even exotic animals! I have 5 cats at home, and would trust Riley to care for them for short or long periods of time. Riley has a keen eye for knowing when something is wrong, and will help make sure your pet is happy and healthy while under her care. I strongly recommend Riley for any of your pet sitting needs!”
7. Joslynn G.
“Leaving your furry babies home is hard, and finding the right person to care for them while you’re gone is even harder! Joslynn was 100% the right person for our boys! They got snuggles and lots of attention! They loved her from the moment she walked in the door, and I got lots of pics proving their love throughout our trip! The house was kept clean and tidy and everything was just as I left when! Joslynn is trustworthy and easy going! 100% 10/10 recommend!!!”

10. Natasha & Andrew H.
About: While we have 3 dogs of our own, we have a large area and easy ways to separate if need be. We have a HUGE fenced-in outdoor area where they can run around, chase squirrels, sniff, dig, and all the fun things! We also have a large indoor dog room for them to play, sleep and eat in. Lastly, have a good-sized covered enclosed patio, so if they want to be outside, but it is a bit cold, we have options. These areas make it easy for us to separate dogs if there are any aggression issues or if any are un-fxed. I work partially remote. I leave the house from about 10-4pm on Mondays and Fridays, but other than that am pretty available to be home and handle whatever crazy things the pups come up with! We have lots of room for your doggos to run around and the friendliest Goldendoodle who LOVES to play (if yours are game, otherwise, we will keep them separated)
11. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is outstanding! I felt comfortable leaving her with my pups for 2 weeks. She has amazing communication and sends frequent updates. I would recommend her to my closest friends and family”
12. Shaylee S.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals my whole life and I love being around them I have 3 dogs of my own and many other animals I am available whenever to house sit and walk at anytime I can’t do boarding simply because of my own animals. But I am able to help with anything else! I won’t be able to board but I am able to walk and play with any animal of any size or age at anytime of the day.

15. Kirk W.
“Kirk did an excellent job watching our sweet senior dogs! He sent photos every day and our home looked immaculate when we returned. His professionalism and communication were outstanding. We can’t wait to use him again!”
