Savanna was a great sitter and took wonderful care of my dog Franklin for an overnight. She communicated clearly and made sure to ask questions about his care and feeding. She sent lots of cute pics. Her home was a comfy place for Frank and she even had a ramp for her bed so pups can get up and down safely. I would definitely book with Savanna again.

Taylor and Tyler took amazing care of our dog Darcy! She had a lot of fun, and was in high spirits at pickup time. It was also really nice to get updates and photos from Taylor & Tyler during her stay. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting the area. Thanks!

Rebekah was incredible with our Bella. She sent updates, took extremely good care of her, and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Our Bella was just a puppy (and was in heat for the first time), and Rebekah took every step necessary to take care of her and make sure she was taken care of. Will definitely use her again!

Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.

Victoria was great with our dog Rosie. It was the first time we had ever left her with anyone. Victoria kept us posted with texts and pictures of how Rosie was doing which helped us feel comfortable being away. Rosie did great and loved playing with Victoria’s dog. We are using her again for our next vacation.

An enormous thank you to Michelle for her kindness and care of our aging Maggie. It was just a short week later that we discovered Maggie would have to be put down due to discovery of her advanced cancer. MIchelle provided a safe, loving environment for Maggie to visit when we needed some help. We are so gratefull and were touched by her compassion.

About: Ever since I was a child I have either had my own pets or have sat for friends and family. I have the ultimate respect for all living creatures! You can rest assured that I will look after your fur-babies as if they were my own!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Tuesday through Saturday I do work during the day but I am free after 7pm or so… I do make my own schedule so I can definitely adjust it as needed. I will stay at your home so that you can be assured that your fur-baby will be comfortable in their own environment. All that I need is a comfy recliner or couch!

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life -- I grew up with 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs and currently I have two Golden Retrievers, who keep me busy! I love exploring awesome trails and walks around town, plus lots of playtime in my fenced in back yard. I'd love to host your dog, so you can travel worry free! Also, I am always available for walks and day care-- I can make any schedule work. I am very flexible and can accommodate any schedule your pet requires-- early morning up until bedtime. Just let me know what your pet needs! I have ample space for dogs in my home, which has a large fenced in turf back yard. Also, just steps away is beautiful Buttonwood Park. Additionally, this area is filled with lovely trails, so its easy to pack the dogs up and find an adventure!

Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.
