“Amanda was wonderful with my two pups. She communicated daily, took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. It was great “peace of mind” traveling knowing that Amanda was taking such care!”

“Briar genuinely loves dog and has shown a great deal of patience with my shy and sometimes skittish spaniel. She takes time to play with my dog and even gives her periodic car rides.”

“Maggie is highly responsive and responsible. She loves my dogs and they love her. We had a miscommunication because I forgot to tell her she could leave at 10 p.m., and she stayed until 11 just to make sure the dogs were OK. Highly recommend.. Thanks so much for your help!”


“Linda is the best! She took pictures of our pups every day and answered my texts immediately. Our dogs were so happy to see us but easily settled down because their routine had not been disrupted”

“This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier with Savanna. She was knowledgeable attentive and punctual. She showed a desire to get to know my dogs and cat and maintain their routine. I received photos and updates daily. I highly recommend her and plan on hiring her whenever I need a house/dog sitter in the future.”

“Ashton was great with our two huskies for a week-long stay. She kept us updated with pictures and the pups clearly loved their walks and cuddles. She was in regular communication and very responsive. We hope she will be available in the future for another stay!”


About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.
“These two sitters are wonderful! This is the first time we needed to leave our two dogs alone for an extended period and we were nervous. Philip and Lily restored our confidence! We met with them several times prior to departure and they asked all the right questions and had all the right answers to our questions! The dogs liked them and we returned to happy dogs and a home that was tidy - no incidents! They were super responsive to our inquiries while we were away. You cannot miss with this team!”

“Michael exceeded my expectations in taking care of my two dogs. Prior to my trip, he came to visit my pups in order to get to know them, observe their behavior, talk about my daily routine, and any special needs. This interaction surely made me feel so much more comfortable in the fact that I could go away and not have to worry about my dogs while being away. I certainly looked forward to his many daily pics and information that he provided to me. In future trips, I will only request Michael because I never had to worry or be concerned about anything. He is definitely a KEEPER and highly recommend him to my family and friends.”

“Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!”
