1. Marie H.


“Marie took the time to meet with us the day before we dropped our poodle off. She was very polite and took the time to let us get acquainted with herself, her own dogs, and some of the other dogs in her care. She was very receptive to the tips we gave her regarding his normal routine, how our poodle normally behaves in certain novel situations and what actions bring about positive outcomes. Marie clearly has a good understanding of how to monitor a dog's behavior and how it is interacting with the environment and other dogs. We could see that she has established a good set up for pet sitting; and it incorporates safety and pleasure for the dogs. Marie was more than gracious with her time and we were thankful to have a trustworthy person to leave our poodle with while we attended a wedding.”

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With four dogs (Diamond, Patrick, Trish, and Dusty) and four cats (Joel, Hibbleton, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for 4-48 hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

“Mary did a wonderful job caring for and loving on our elderly dog Finn. She was patient, kind, caring and very attentive. We will definitely be using her services again.”


8. Dawne F.

“Excellent experience all around! Our puppy would rate higher than 5 stars as well if she could.... she was always so excited to get dropped off at Dawne's for the day. We're looking forward to going back again soon.”


9. Brittany R.
“Brittany is very responsible and caring. She keeps us updated on how our dog is doing and also sends us pictures. It’s a great feeling when we pick our dog up and you see she is happy and content. We trust Brittany completely and would recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter.”

“It was our first time leaving our boy with someone other than family and they made us feel really comfortable. We knew when we left he was in good hands. They sent us pics/videos showing how comfortable he was. Definitely will go back. Thank you!”


11. Kaylee J.

“As always Kaylee is great and Gigi loves going to her house to play with all her friends! Very flexible as well which is nice and peace of mind knowing she's safe with her! :)”

13. Carrie Haring K.

“Wonderful family! Definitely knew my pup was in great hands!”


14. Hanna S.

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”


15. Delaina M.

“Lai was so good with my Panda! I can tell she's a good person. He went straight to her and didn't even look back at me like he usually does when I drop him off at other sitters! 🥹 and he also wasn't super anxious when I picked him up. That's when I knew he was in good hands. I will surely book Lai again! 🥰 thank you for taking care of my Panda.”


16. Tyler F.

“Okay, so, I never leave my dog with a sitter. Normally, I am the sitter. But life gets hectic, holidays happen, and I needed to drop my fur baby off somewhere safe. She means the whole world to me and I was petrified of leaving her with a stranger but my gut told me she'd be fine. My gut was right! Nibbler seems very content, and Tyler updated me about her regularly while she stayed with him. She and I are happy as clams. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your four-legged friends and family!”

18. Emily V.
“Emily has cared for my pets on several occasions. We have a large Golden Doodle and two cats. She takes our dog on walks and feeds him according to our instructions. She is very loving with all of our pets and when she spends the night, she allows our dog to sleep with her. He sleeps with us so we are fine with this. She is very responsible and spends a lot of quality time with our pets. I have recommended her to several friends and she has watched their pets on numerous occasions when they are on vacation or out of town. She sends photos and videos several times so we don't miss them as much and it gives us peace of mind while we are away. I highly recommend Emily as a pet caregiver.”
