“Wonderful experience! Brittany was very flexible - super easy pickup and drop off! Coco came home tired in the best way ? and I could tell from our activity tracker that she was VERY active the whine time!”
“Maddie was great! I am very particular where I board my dog, and not a big fan of large boarding facilities. Maddie’s place takes up to 10 dogs at a time so I know he is being watched well. Additionally, my dog had some special drinking instructions and she follow through on it. I would use her again to watch my fur child!”
“Victoria was a wonderful dog sitter. Our two littles, Charlie and Ozzy, had a great time with her. We were able to relax and know that they were in such loving care. Thank you so much Victoria, I think they miss all the treats and fun they had with you.”
“We had never left our fur kid before and we’re very worried to do so. Bethani was very kind and took the time to meet us and our Rottweiler before we booked. She also sent us picture updates while we were gone which gave us piece of mind while we were so far away!”
“Smokeybear did well. Christina took very good care of him. I could tell she loves all animals and treated Smokey as one of her own pets. He seemed very happy after his stay there Thank you Christina.”
“She did a wonderful job with my Delta. He was having anxiety being away from mom and dad so we picked him up a day early. She really worked with him to help him feel better. Would definitely recommend for your fur babies.”
“Katlin is the best dog sitter we’ve ever used. The dogs were well cared for and we received constant updates on the dog’s eating and care. I would recommend Katlin and plan to use her again. Clean home with a huge yard for the dogs to play.”
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”
About: Hi there! I’m a college student who studies from home and absolutely loves animals. I’ve had pets my whole life and have 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently have a super sweet 80lb labradoodle and a friendly cat who both love new friends and are used to being around other animals. Whether your pup needs a cozy nap spot, a calm environment, or a playful companion, I can adjust to what makes them happiest. I work at the local high school during the day, but when I’m not home, my husband is—so there’s always someone here with the dogs to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision. We also love going on walks around Lee University and nearby parks, so your pet can get fresh air and exercise too! I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like family. I’d love to be your pet’s home away from home! I’m a college student who studies from home, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing company, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I’m home most of the day, your furry friend will never be left alone for long and will always have someone around to give them love and attention. I treat every pet that enters my home like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and safe. I make sure all pets are supervised during playtime and mealtime, and I pay close attention to their behavior to keep them stress-free and happy. My Labradoodle is friendly and well-socialized, and I always do slow, monitored introductions to make sure everyone gets along. I also follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine and preferences consistent. Whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours, you can expect dependable care, affection, and a safe environment every step of the way.
