1. Mark & Elizabeth Y.

“Thank you Mark and Elizabeth for taking such great care of Baxter while we were gone celebrating our anniversary. Thank you for the pictures of him having a great time. It’s great to know that there are people that will open up their homes and take in other peoples animals instead of having to leave them in a boarding house or somewhere else that they may not get very much attention or affection and play. You guys are awesome and we appreciate every thing . Jason and Dawn ( Baxter’s mommy and daddy)”




2. Mark and Vicky H.


“Can not say enough about the exceptional care at Gracie’s Bed & Biscuit. Mark and Vicky are loving, caring, organized and attentive to what a family needs when they are leaving their beloved dog in their care. The constant photos throughout our dog’s stay bring a smile to our face when we are apart. So glad we found their incredible home. ? ?”


3. Mary N.

“Mary was an excellent sitter for our two pups. Our dogs got along well with Bruno and they came home pooped! Mary sent lots of pictures and updates and has a great backyard for the dogs to play in. We will definitely be repeat customers!”




4. Emily Ann C.

“When I first met Emily, I was confident that she was a good fit for Gabby. After Gabby had stayed there, I’m sure that she was perfect for her. She played with Gabby and introduced Gabby to her dog Pepper, and they slept together in the bed. She took great care of her and Gabby seem to love her.”


5. Danielle V.

“Danielle and her kids were fantastic watching our dog for several days during vacation! Being on multiple medications, I’m always a bit nervous to leave her somewhere new, but Danielle was great and didn’t miss a beat! They went above and beyond to make her comfortable and we are so grateful ❤️”


6. Kaylee J.

“Absolutely FANTASTIC experience. Our dog suffers from severe separation anxiety and he did beautifully here! Kayla sent us pictures regularly so we weren’t worried about our boy and was totally flexible when our itinerary changed. Alexander will be visiting again for sure!”


7. Sam M.

“Sam was great and took good care of my dog with love and care. Because of her background in veterinary, she was able to diagnose my dog was liking himself and after talking to me she gave him the proper medication and put a collar on him. When I went to pick him up he was very happy and healthy… which makes me really happy. I also like the fact that Zeca was the only dog with her because he is not very friendly with other dogs around. Sam, thank you so much!!”


8. Sharon K.

“Sharon was amazing with my pet. She was very responsive and friendly. My dog felt comfortable with her and I received updates regularly. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”


9. Marie H.


“My dogs have more fun with Marie and Jorge than they do at home with us!! They seriously let the dogs on their couch just like we do at home and the dogs can completely make themselves at home there. Marie sends so many pictures and videos throughout the day of my boys running and playing in the backyard with the other dogs. I cannot recommend them enough!!!”


10. Sarah P.


“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”


11. Kaishin K.

“We were so glad our dog could stay at this warm and comforting home again! Kaishin and family take such good care of him and send multiple updates. I know I don’t need to worry when our dog is with them!”


12. Kate W.

“Kate was AMAZING! She was so flexible as I had a last minute booking! She sent great videos and pictures throughout Astros stay and he looked like he was just right at home! I would 100 percent trust her again to watch Astro! Highly recommend!!”


13. Christy K.

“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Christy and Glenn! I’m often nervous leaving our sweet (but often anxious) rescue chihuahua mix, Brownie, because he does best with lots of patience and a calm environment. Christy and Glenn completely understood that and I’ve never seen Brownie be so calm in a new environment as he was with them! They cared for Brownie with such love and attention, gave us lots of updates along the way and we will certainly bring Brownie back again and again.”


14. Jan H.

“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”


15. Lauren M.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I grew up with Rottweilers, cats and raccoons! I currently have my own dog Wrigley, and a turtle named Wasabi! Growing up if I wasn’t caring for my families animals, I was sitting for friends and family! I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I’m an RN who is getting married this year & looking to make extra income for our big day, and what better way than to spend time giving your furry friends the love and care they deserve! I’m currently working full-time M-F 9am - 5pm. I’m free every weekend & every other Friday! Looking to do drop ins, walking/running with your pets and house sitting in your home! Available for early morning or after work drop ins during weekdays! My dog at home is very friendly, but anxious and we would like her to be the only dog in our house, so I will not be offering boarding at my home. I will treat your home and pets as I would treat my own, with love, kindness and patience! I am very thorough, and detail-oriented so you can trust your directions will be followed and your furry friends will be well-cared for!

“Dawne was unbelievable! From start to finish she was a partner in care for our 4 month old puppy. She listened to our concerns, worked to understand our routine and helped our pup advance while we were on our 10 day vacation. I also loved how her whole family seemed to embrace our little guy!”
