“Our dog had a great time staying with Jerin! He loved her large fenced property and playing with the other dogs. We felt like he got to have a wonderful county vacation while we travelled!”

“Chloe was wonderful - Elvis had such a lovely time and is probably going to be so sad to have left his friends. Thank you so much for offering to give him a bath before he came home - icing on the cake. Thank you for the videos and pictures. It was great to have a view into how much fun the stay was for Elvis.”

“Stephanie and her family were great! We left our dog Wilson in their care for 11 days and I felt at ease knowing he was taken care of by all the members of their family. Sending pictures through his stay was helpful.”

About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs ranging from Toy Poodles, Rottweilers, Shepards, Mastiffs, etc. experience with other animals as well ex. Goats, baby pigs, ferrets, etc. I have a work from home schedule, with an occasional in office day during the week, so majority of my time is spent at home. I have a fenced in yard with room to play, along with two of my own friendly dogs. Relaxing environment and great area to take walks in the neighborhood if your pet likes to be active.Based off your preference of your pets being allowed on furniture beds/couches I will go by to make them feel as close to home as possible.

“My Lola was put down a few days after her stay with Jeannie and Robert. I cannot express how thankful I am at the love and care they had always given her even through her last few moments. They live about 45 minutes away from me but because of the attentiveness, I would drive 2 hours if I had to! I didn’t have a car for the last time they watched Lola and they drove all the way down to pick her up and drop her off. Even with the loss of my little one, they remain family to me and us always. With or without a pet, I will forever be grateful and see them as one of my own.”

“I feel that words are far too limited to express the help and support we received from Ellen during such a difficult time! I had to travel to another continent and left my cat at the Kittie Room in Ellen’s home, and out of the blue, he needed emergency eye surgery. Ellen was constantly present through it all—strong, incredibly supportive, and providing post-surgery care filled with love, dedication, and countless medications like I had never seen before. I thank God every single day that when all this happened, my cat was with Ellen. In such a hard moment, Ellen, you were a true beacon for my family, and I will never forget it. You are a living miracle, moving seamlessly between the world of animals and the world of humans, with pure love and success in both. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!”

“My pups really enjoyed their stay with Melissa. They got to hang out with Melissa’s kids and hang out in her fenced in yard. They were the only pups at Melissa’s house which was very good for Moxie. Melissa was also able to administer Tico’s medications with out a problem. We will definitely be reaching out to Melissa for another stay in the future.”

“Jessica and John were wonderful. We have never left our sweet Flynn with anyone besides my Dad. However, my Dad was unable to keep Flynn for this 7 day vacation. Flynn was so well taken care of and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Flynn with Jessica and John. They sent me messages, pictures and videos throughout our trip, which I loved. I feel like Flynn was treated like family. I would definitely recommend and use them again. Love. Love. Love 💕”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently own one myself, so I truly understand their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for years, caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments. In addition, I’m a pediatric nurse, so providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care is second nature to me. I’m especially comfortable with puppies who need structure and patience as well as senior dogs who may require extra care, medication, or a calmer environment. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work only three days a week and only accept boarding and daycare when I’m off work and home, so dogs receive my full attention, with plenty of supervision, playtime, and care. I care for dogs in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, with close supervision and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home.

“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”

Erica was able to also calm my nerves as this was the first time I was leaving my dog with someone unknown. I would definitely book her again when need be in the future! ❤️”

“Rene has watched our boy since he was a puppy and we trust her wholeheartedly. The dogs are her life and she gives them lots of love and attention and, most importantly, prioritizes they safety and comfort. When we have any request, she does her best to accommodate our wishes. Our boy is always excited when we pull up to her place for a fun pupcation with his friends”
