About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
“Thank your taking such great care of Oscar while I was gone. I really appreciated the interaction and pics you sent me throughout his stay.. anyone reading this, I would easily recommend them for watching your pooch. ?”
“Deanna took great care of our dog! She was so kind and welcoming, and made me feel like our pup was safe and well cared for. I appreciated the photo updates throughout his stay with her! We'd be happy to have her care for him again!”
“Always so wonderful! He and his family treat our dog like their own! Always treating him so special. He even participates in family events- ice cream treats, sports games. He couldn’t be more at ease leaving our dog with them. Highly recommend!”
“Mary took great care of Duke! She was lovely to speak with, sent adorable updates, and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Duke warmed up to her immediately and had a great time at her home. We would love for Mary to watch Duke again!”
“We went away for the weekend and we're SO glad we found Victoria, her family (of people AND dogs) and her big, awesome yard for our dog. She sent pics regularly and we could tell immediately that Madigan was comfortable. Lots of good companions at Victoria's house, Victoria is a true "dog person" and we can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Sadie is absolutely wonderful! She watched our puppy Kovu for 5 nights and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was so understanding of his needs. She sent us daily pictures, videos, and progress updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Kovu was having a great time with her, her son, and her dog. He came home just as happy as when he left! We completely trust her and are so grateful to have found someone who loves our pup like we do. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kelly was so great with squishy! She took such good care of her and sent us pictures every day. She made sure to follow everything! My puppy even cried when we were leaving Kelly’s house after picking her up!”
“Christine did a fantastic job boarding my Doberman! I got lots of pics and regular updates so I felt I had a good understanding of how my pup was doing. She boarded my dog over Easter and Christine even took her over to her family’s house where my dog participated in the Easter egg hunt! When my girl comes back home with no emotional issues, I know she had a good time and felt safe. I’ll board with Christine any time.”
“Julien was great with Elmont. It was his first time sitting for us and I felt like Elmont was safe, happy and comfortable the entire time. Elmont’s idea of a good time is snuggling up and watching TV and he and Julien did that together. Elmont had his own little vacation while I was away.”
“Our pup had a great time with Sarah! She was easy to work with, great at communicating, and sent us lots of updates. Our dog enjoyed playing with her daughters and with her dog Ruby. We will use her again.”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
“Shelby and her husband were great! I felt very safe leaving my anxious mini goldendoodle with her knowing he was in great hands. She sent pictures and updates. Exceeded expectations ?”
“Courtney was great, we did a meet and great before we booked. We had great communication and she sent pics of my dog during the stay. Her home is well suited for pet sitting, has a nice fenced in yard in quiet neighborhood, end of a street without much traffic. They don't have any other pets, so that makes it nice too, don't have to worry marking as much. Highly recommend!”
“Janissa was fantastic! It was our first time boarding our dog, and she made things so easy. She sent photos throughout his stay of him playing. We didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were out of town! We will definitely be using Janissa again in the future.”

Our Peachy stayed with Emily while we were on 10 day vacation. She did great with Peachy and she made sure Peachy takes her medication (even if peachy gave her a hard time) 😊 She sent photos and we appreciste it very much. Her home is nice and clean. We will definitely rebook her again.
Naomi took great care of our dog, Max, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She shared pictures and provided daily updates on how Max was adjusting. I felt very comfortable leaving Max with Naomi. He was well care for, and I will definitely try to rebook with her when we go out of town in the future!
Ryan and Rio were the perfect hosts for Ziggy. Ryan is very knowledgeable about dogs and expertly handled my large puppy and his antics. Communication is excellent and Ryan is very accommodating. Ziggy was well cared for and tired when we picked him up. I will use Ryan again.
Emily was very kind and understanding that my dog has never been to a dog sitter or anything like that. Stormi is very anxious and protective, SO she is very picky with whom she bonds with!! Emily took All that in consideration And Stormi loved her & Emily’s husband 💙 I will definitely be referring Emily to anyone that needs a sitter! She even sends progress reports, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Mark and Elizabeth were great with Maeve. Maeve had a great time. Mark and Elizabeth updated us throughout our trip with multiple photographs, they are professional, friendly and very responsive. Great with puppies with high energy. Will be utilizing there services again for sure. Highly recommend Mark and Elizabeth
