We are forever grateful for Dani :)”

She replies immediately, communicates frequently during her stay at our home, respects and fulfills all our requests, leaves our home immaculate, and, most importantly, cares lovingly for our three sometimes rambunctious dogs. She is great with both seniors and youngsters. I highly recommend her. We have already rebooked!”


About: My family got our first dog when I was 9 years old. Since then, I don't think I've ever not had pets in my life. I've had dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. I come from a long line of animal lovers, and I consider my pets to be part of the family - so they live good and happy lives. I've also had family and friends rely on me many times to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I'm a teacher, so come the summer (when everyone goes on vacation), my days are wide open! During the school year, weekends are the best bet for house-sitting, but I've got more flexibility for dog walking etc. First step is building trust. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable around me, and part of that is gauging how they behave around me. If they want love and attention, I'm more than happy to give it! If they need more time and distance, that's okay too. I'm someone who wants to make sure that you AND your pet are happy, so whatever you need me to do is what I'll do. Lots of play? Can do! Frequent walks or bathroom breaks? Not a problem! Just hang out so they're not alone? Absolutely. And I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, so I'm always happy to send check-in pictures if desired.


“Natalie was awesome! She stayed in our house for five days to watch our cat and Genan Shepherd/Lab mix while we out of town and took excellent care of both animals and our home. She came to meet them first and then called again to make sure she had all the feeding, walking and house instructions straight which I really appreciated it. She spent a lot of time with them and took our dog for the many long walks he needs. She followed my instructions to a tee and left our house in great shape. Would absolutely hire Natalie again!!”

Kendall G.
“I have the great pleasure of knowing Kendall personally after meeting by chance and subsequently bonding over musical theatre, and of course, our immense love of dogs. As our friendship has blossomed, I’ve had the great pleasure of witnessing her interactions with her own fur babies, and with mine. When I was faced with rapidly changing work circumstances and multiple extended trips away from home prior to my international relocation, I asked Kendall if she would pet sit my 2 fur babies (husky and golden retriever) because I knew they would receive the same amount of (if not more) love, care and affection that I give them myself. I also know her to be trustworthy, sensible, reliable and kind, which made me feel perfectly at ease leaving them with her for extended periods. Kendall has exceptional communication skills and displays confident and competent interactions with dogs at all times. They says dogs are the best judge of character, and everywhere we go, dogs seem to swarm Kendall 🤣 I cannot rate her services highly enough and would recommend her in a heartbeat, as someone worthy of protecting your precious paws whether it be on exercise adventures or more extended, homely experiences. If I were to require dog boarding while I am overseas, I would seriously fly Kendall over to house/dog sit rather than put them in a boarding kennel - THATS how incredible she is!!”
