“Courtnie was WONDERFUL! You can tell that she is a true dog lover and is passionate about taking great care of animals. I was so impressed with how much thought, care, and preparation that went into watching our dog. I felt so reassured that Chip would be in great hands, and he most definitely was. She gave fun updates and it was clear that our dog had an excellent time. Would highly recommend and will be booking Courtnie again!!!”

“Adrienne and her daughter too great care of Xena. She sent pictures twice daily which gave us great comfort while we were away. Will definitely use Adrienne again. Thank you again”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.
“Brittney has kept my dog a few times now. Weekends and a whole week before. He is excited and barges through her door every time we go back so I know he is a having a good time. Makes vacation easy knowing my dog is in good hands!”

“Kady has watched my sweet Dalmatian 3 times now and each time he’s come home happy and EXHAUSTED. He has so much fun and gets to go on long walks that he enjoys!! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my sweet but also rambunctious boy!!”

“Thank you to Danielle and family. They all accepted my Suga with open arms and made her feel at home. Suga was happy to see me, and at the same time it was hard for her to leave. I highly recommend them and definitely will be using them in the future.”

“Amy did an excellent job caring for our dog, Penny. Penny loved playing and snuggling with Amy and her son. We received great communication and pictures throughout the time Penny was with Amy. We would definitely recommend Amy and will use her in the future.”

“Max had a great time with Jennifer and Tom! He even got to go on an outing to a splash pad and had an amazing time! They are great pet sitters and will treat your pets like their own.”
