“John is an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”
“We always love using Henry and Cheryl for pet sitting. They are great with communication and updates and are nice and personable. Our dog seems to very much enjoy his time with them!”
“Mojo had a great time with Shannon. This was his first visit and he warmed up to her right away. He's an older dog with older dog needs, and she handled everything wonderfully. We will definitely be taking him back.”
“Leaving my pupper with Angela was a very comforting experience. My puppy has not had many interactions with other dogs, but she got along well with hers! She sent me many cute pictures and updated me on my puppy's comfort level. I will definitely be leaving my upper with her again:)”

“Denna and her husband were absolutely amazing! They took in my Maltipoo on short notice, and took great care of him. They have officially become my go-to sitters. I got updates everyday, photos and videos and just felt very comfortable and safe leaving biscuit in their hands. My dog also got along really well with their dogs, which was a big plus! Overall, they’re great dog sitters but also genuinely great people. I’m so glad I found them!”
“Linda and David were awesome! They provided frequent updates and it’s evident that they are very knowledgeable about what is best for the dogs in their care.

“Kurt kept our two dogs while we were out of the country. He took care of them as if they were his own and they had a great time. We trust him to handle anything that comes up. And he was flexible with our pickup time when we got home later than expected. The dogs love him.”
“Rowdy was very well taken care of by Ms. Holly. She sent many pictures upon request, as well as fast responses. I believe he had a great time in her care and seemed to be in a good mood during pick up. Overall I highly recommend Holly as a great dog sitter and will come back again if I ever need!”
About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the school year my schedule does vary Monday through Friday as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I really enjoy hanging out with animals as a study break! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!
“Carmen and her husband were absouloutly amazing with our two dogs! She has an amazing fenced back yard that are dogs loved running around in. Carmen was great at communicating and sending me pictures and they worked around their schedules to find a convientent time for us to pick up our dogs. I will definately consider Carmen next time we need to board our dogs.”
