“Iris was amazing with our pup! He’s not perfect and she was so kind and accepting of his needs. Her home is dog friendly and made us feel very comfortable. She’s knowledgeable on all things dogs and truly spoiled our Oscar. We have already planned our next trip and know Oscar will be in good hands with Iris so we can rest easy while away.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I, myself, have had several different dogs - Newfie's, Shar Pei mix, Lab mix, Mastiff mix and currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog. During gatherings with friends, I can be found by the dog. I work from home during the days I "rover" and so your pet will be well taken care of and their needs well managed. Because I have my own dog, your pup will be allowed to join us for our daily car rides with the window down, long walks (at least 2x daily) and if the weather is nice, a splash or two in the kiddie pool. I have a fenced in yard and am nearby the Prairie Path so long walks are often on the daily agenda. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog.
“I bring my Doberman puppy to Karissa and couldn't be happier. Because of Karissa, her household, and her "pack", my puppy is so very happy, calm and socialized around cats, dogs, children, and people out in public. I get adorable updates from her which cheer me up while I'm away at work. Each morning as I pull up to her house my puppy starts barking excitedly and literally runs to her front door. At the end of the day he doesn't want to leave. Not only does she take care of his daily needs, but she goes the extra mile taking him out to stores that allow puppies such as Home Depot for extra socialization. Some people think that having my puppy go to day care is an extravagance, but these months are critical in the emotional development of all dogs. He is going to be my companion for the next 12 or 13 years. Thanks to Karissa, he is going to be wonderful”
“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”

“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”

“Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!”

“We left our 14 week old puppy for the first time and luckily found Yolanda! Getting pictures and videos of her was comforting too. Paddington had such a great time and was perfectly sleepy when we picked her up ☺️”

“Venus is absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dog and asked thorough questions prior to meeting her to ensure my dog Rosie was happy. She also gave me a little report card and treats for Rosie as if Rosie was at a party. It was amazing!!!”

“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
“Robert was very welcoming, patient, and helpful for both me and my dog, Maya, as this was our first booking ever! He took his time to let her get comfortable and introduce her with the other pups he had in house. Allowed me to be just as comfortable leaving her for the day! Came back to pick up one happy and VERY tuckered out pup! Loved the pictures! Looked like we both had a great experience booking with Robert!🐶 We will be scheduling again soon!”

About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire life. We now have a 9 year old pointer mix who loves a friend every now and then. We have a fully fenced very large back yard for running around. We have food bowls and a crate. We will mainly care for dogs on the weekends when we are home. We usually do a long morning walk as a family. We spend a lot of time outside and almost always have our dog with us. Yours will fit right in and enjoy a lot of play time! We have a large fenced in yard, another sweet dog to play with and a crate if needed or preferred! We have multiple dog begs and welcome any security items form home.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they weren’t pets they were family and that’s exactly how I treat every dog in my care. That lifelong bond is what I bring to every sit I understand how dogs think, what they need to feel safe in a new environment, and how to read when something’s off. Big dogs, seniors, high energy runners, gentle giants— I am comfortable with all of them, and I give every dog the individual attention they deserve. When you leave your dog with me you won’t be wondering how they’re doing. —You’ll know. Because I send real updates, real photos and honest communication throughout every visit and day. Your dog will be walked, loved, and genuinely looked after—not just minded. Pet care isn’t fit around my life— it is my life. One of the most important things you can know about me as a sitter: I am fully available, every day of the week. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into gaps between other commitments-it is my primary focus and the thing I show up for completely. That means whether you need a morning dropping an afternoon walk in overnight stay midweek or last-minute care when life throws something unexpected at you— I’m here. No juggling. No half attention. Just genuine, devoted care for your pet when you need most. You’re home. Their comfort. My fault attention. When I sit in your home, my job is simple: your pet should never know you’re gone that means preserving every single detail of the life they know— the routines, their safe spots, their feeding schedule, their medication’s— exactly as you’ve set it up. No shortcuts. No improvising. Your home is treated with the same respect and care as your pet. I arrive on time, I stay as long as needed, and I leave everything exactly as I found it. You hand me your keys and your trust— I take both seriously.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I currently have one dog and two cats who are a huge part of my family, we love them dearly and treat all pets in our home the same way. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and my schedule is very open. I live near several trails and parks, so walks and outdoor time are a big part of the experience here. I also have a very active 8 year old Lab named Layla who absolutely adores people and other dogs. She’s friendly, playful, and loves having company. Because I have two cats in the home, visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. At this time, I’m not able to accommodate pit bulls or pit mixes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while they’re with us. PLEASE ONLY DOGS THAT ARE HOUSE TRAINED! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! In my home your pet will be family to us. While your pup is in my home, she will go on walks and plays right along side my dog. Your pet will have full range of our home, and will be treated no differently than my dog, so your dog might come home more spoiled than ever!
“Melissa watched our two high energy pups for the day so we could visit with family. They had the best day and she kept us updated with photos and videos all day long. She was so responsible with how she introduced them to the other dogs in her home. I could not recommend her enough!”

Sarah was available for a last minute request on Thanksgiving Day! What a lifesaver. She sent us videos throughout the day and when asked if she could extend to an overnight stay she didn’t hesitate. My fur baby came home healthy & safe after a fun-filled day at Sarah’s! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend too!
