“Cherisse is so great with Ragnar! He loves to visit her house and play with all his dog friends. You can really tell that he loves every minute with all pictures she sends while I’m away!”
“Jon did a great job with my large and sometimes unruly dog. Kaya came back from a four day stay with Jon as relaxed and as happy as ever. Photo updates of them on their walks was reassuring that she was getting quality care. Would definitely use Jon again for any upcoming boarding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”
“Ginger was wonderful with my dog!! So attentive to my needs and his. Communication was exceptional and prompt the whole time she had the dog. Great fenced yard for running and playing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Briana spoils Bear so much that he actually pouts when he gets home. He gets so excited when he sees her and her husband out in public. She is great with him.”
“Took good care of my pup! But more than that, I messed up the pick up time and was many hours late due to a broken down car and she was super helpful and accommodating..”
“Vanessa answered promptly, got my little Milo entertained & was all cleaned up when it was time to pick up ! I would use her service again (:”
“Summer was absolutely amazing with our little girl, Bella, who is it puppy. Also, she just lost her brother, and was very commanding from losing a booking of two dogs down to one dog. On top of that, we had to readjust our schedule, and again was very accommodating to our circumstances! Hands-down for this dog sitter who went above, and beyond taking care of our little girl! I highly recommend her!!”
“Maya was an immediate fit for us. We were able to visit with our Bebe ahead of time & were assured the care would be perfect. Maya kept Bebe for 4 days and sent pictures daily to update us on her daily meals & activity. We had peace of mind while traveling knowing our baby was being very well cared for & would certainly book again with Maya.”
“Christian was awesome! He kept us updated with photos and videos the whole time. Drop off and pick up was extremely easy and he was always ready on time. We had a great experience with him.”
“We are so thankful for Angelica! She responded very quickly to our last minute need for boarding care for our 2 dogs. She took such good care of them for 8 days. She sent pictures and videos everyday to show how well they were settling in to their environment. They were so happy, clean and well taken care for when we picked them up. Angelica responds very quickly to our texts. We will be using her in the future for sure”
“Mary was wonderful! First time our dog was without us and first time with other dogs. Cali had so much fun. We got pictures and updates. She was well cared for. Will absolutely choose Mary again.”
