“Madelyn was terrific! She asked all the right questions in our video chat meet n greet. Communications was clear and timely. She clearly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. This was the first time w electric our 6-month old pup with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier. She checked in by text over the course of the evening and sent pictures of how things were going. Rufus loved her! She also does pet photography and took some gorgeous photos of our boy.”
“Ava was wonderful with my dogs! She took the time to meet Goose, my fearful dog, prior to house sitting and was so kind and respectful to Goose’s needs. She had all three dogs sleeping in bed and absolutely loving their time with Ava.”
“If you want a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, pick Mackenzie!! She is our go to pet sitter for our three dogs and two cats. She goes above and beyond every time and is so good with them all! I have dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 110 pounds and I would trust her with any of them any day! Thank you Mackenzie, my babies love you!”
“Emily was amazing! She was so good with my 2 pups. I am so thankful for the care and love she showed for Wallace and Wyatt in my home for 2 days. I love my dogs and it was so refreshing to know they were in such great hands while I was away, i was able to relax for once without worrying about them! I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been working at a doggy daycare/hotel for about two years now. I also grew up with 5 dogs and have always been around dogs and helping out. Whether it was feeding them, bathing, or cleaning up after them, I’ve done it all. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs both inside and outside. I love all animals and would love to be considered for any pet care needs! I currently am working part time but am home most of the time. When I am home, the dogs and I play inside and out. Your pets won’t go more than 4 hours alone. I have a mostly fenced in yard for us to go out and play in. I have one older dog to keep yours company and I have one cat who minds his business and doesn’t bother dogs.
“So happy with Elizabeth. My dogs were very well taken care of and we’ll definitely set up another appointment. She sent pictures and we felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight. Definitely recommend.”
“Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!”
“Isabella was wonderful watching my dog. She was very responsive with any questions or concerns I had and was always sending pictures of my dog. I went away for 6 days and couldn't feel more comfortable on vacation knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would Highly Recommend Isabella to watch any pet and I will certainly use her again for next summer!! Thank you Isabella!!”
About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !

Theresa M.
“Theresa is an amazing dog owner/mother of a beautiful Luna and it shows…she’s loving, adventurous, caring, smart and safe, and always puts her dog first. I’ve gotten to know her dog Luna over the years and have seen first hand how much of an amazing mother she is. I have witnessed her dog sit several times and have never encountered a negative experience. I would trust her any-day with any animal as she treats all dogs etc. as if they are her own. With Theresa you will never have to worry about weather or not your animals are safe and being loved. Highly recommend her as a guardian to your loved pups.”
