“This is the second time our doodles have spent the day with Amanda & Brandon. The boys had a blast again. Excellent communication! They are trustworthy and will care for your fur babies as if they were their own! Highly reccommend!”
“My dog had so much fun that he was quite sad to be leaving. He played very well with both of Emily’s dogs, and had plenty of space to run around and get out his energy. We will definitely be rebooking :)”
“Kathryn is wonderful! Our dog Lux, had an amazing time at “camp” while we visited family. Communication was spectacular, she kept us up to date on our girls daily activities and sent lots of pictures. Lux can’t wait to visit again!”
“Ellen did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs! She followed all instructions and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“I had a great experience with Amy taking care of Tilly while I was out of town! Amy was very communicative and flexible when I had to pick up Tilly later than expected.”
“Amy did such a good job watching Lucy. She provided lots of photos and videos of her playing. It made me feel confident that Lucy was in good hands!”
“Dawn was amazing - she took excellent care of our pup, she updated us several times throughout Chester’s stay and sent pictures of Chester hanging out with Spike! We had 100% faith in her care and companionship with our little guy, she’s the real deal! We’d rebook in a heart beat! 😀💯”
“Emily was great with Ivy! She sent me regular updates of a very happy pupper. Ivy came home happy and tired which means she spent her time romping with Emily's pack. I couldn't recommend Emily enough!”
“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”
“Richard and Sara were awesome with our dog. We got updates twice a day and they were very accommodating. We will be staying with them again in the future.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Rachel! I was so anxious about leaving my pug Geo with a sitter. Rachel and her family and fur baby took such good care of Geo. I highly highly recommend Rachel she cares for your pet as if it’s her own and Geo had a blast!”
“Emily responded quickly, sent pics of my boys playing in the yard. She said they didn't eat much the first day but that's to be expected because they get anxious being left behind. But having boarded my dog tigger before he's usually anxious for days after being picked up and didn't have that this time, so that tells me a lot. ”
“I was impressed with Sasha from the very beginning. She started off our interaction by inviting me over a few days before Fort's scheduled stay to get him acquainted with her home, family, and her dog, Barack (who is delightful). I really appreciated her taking the time to introduce our dogs slowly and properly, and we talked at length about Fort's care, temperament, and behavior. After we addressed each other's questions and concerns, we were confident that Fort would fit in well with her family, and we solidified our plans for her to watch him while I was gone on vacation. Throughout the week, Sasha sent me lots of photos and updates on Fort to show me what a great time they were having. He got to go on lots of adventures, long walks, trips to the park, play fetch, have playtime with Barack, and even got to sleep on her bed! Knowing he was having a blast helped put me at ease and enjoy my trip. When my flight home got rescheduled, she was very accommodating and was able to watch Fort for an extra day, offering to pick up some more food for him or share Barack's since I didn't pack enough. She even offered to give him a free bath before I returned. Sasha said she and her family enjoyed Fort's company, and I am thrilled by the care and attention she gave Fort during his stay. For all of my future trips, she will absolutely be my first choice sitter. If my travel plans work out, he will be seeing her again this summer!”
“Cody went above and beyond while watching my fur baby! She was able to sit for me while I went on a work trip. She followed all my care instructions and sent pictures daily. He was sad to leave his new friend after an amazing stay with her.”
“Miranda was excellent! She responded quickly, sent great photo updates, and had great availability for pickup and dropoff. Would definitely do again!”
“My dog loved staying here. Ajavon kept me updated through out the day with pictures and even accommodated me when I was running late for pick up. Definitely will be booking with him again.”
About: I had a French bulldog for 8 years and from the puppy zoomies to the tough senior days. He was my heart, and caring for him through everything, including his battle with cancer and the seizures that eventually took him, taught me patience, empathy, and how to handle pets with medical needs and emotional sensitivity. That experience set a foundation for how I care for all animals, with gentleness, attention to detail, and a whole lot of love. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’ve been in your shoes. You can count on me to treat your pet like family because that’s the only way I know how to care for them! I have a full time job, but I would love to help on weekends and after work! I also have a roomate that works some days remote who would be willing to help me with in house care. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, especially when their routine changes. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding times and walks to medications or favorite toys, so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I keep a close eye on behavior, and I’m experienced with dogs who need a little extra attention, including seniors or pets with medical needs. Above all, I respect your home, your pet’s boundaries, and your trust. I always give regular updates, photos, and am just a message away, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
