“I cannot say enough about Krystal and her family! Truly the best dog sitter I could ever dream up!! She loved our sweet poochie like her own! She sent me daily updates with pictures and details about how he was doing, and what fun activities they were doing with him! She has a gorgeous area in her home dedicated to doggy sitting, and it is just lovely. They took him on walks and puppy stroller rides when the pavement was too hot for his little feet. They worked on his tricks with him, they even bought him a new toy just for the fun of it! I had no doubts that he was being well cared for, and that was so comforting to me while we were traveling. I will 100% use Krystal again, and recommend her to everyone!!”
“A super great experience in a friendly and loving environment. Brenda and Chief seem to love each other and have a great time together. Thanks again, Brenda. See you next time!”
“Wendy and her family are such great sitters. They make Bo feel he is part of their pack. He always gets excited to be dropped off. I could not be happier.”
“Kari and her family are wonderful and I will definitely be going back to her!!!! Thank you!!!”
“Falen was very flexible and accommodating at the last minute. She really came to the rescue and my dogs felt very safe and garnered a lot of love and attention during their stay. The communication was superb and top-notch. Thank you Falen!”
About: I grew up with dogs so I have been around them almost my whole life. I am comfortable around most friendly dogs and love to help them feel comfortable with me as well. We currently have two Besinji’s (a 3 year old neutered male and a 2 year old spayed female). I have also watched other dogs before including a senior dog that required medicine on a scheduled basis. Watching these other dogs included taking them for walks, prepping their meals, supplying treats, and of course playing and cuddling! Husband and wife team! Husband works from home and I am a stay-at-home mom. Between us both we’ll be available to fit almost any schedule! We have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs. Our dogs have their own gated room that can easily be watched from other rooms on the main floor. Our dogs sleep in their own crates at night. We make sure that our dogs have food and water available throughout the day.
“Fantastic service! Riley had such a good time and I got the cutest photo updates. Was super flexible when I unexpectedly had to extend a day. 11/10!”
“Joelle was amazing! She was super communicative the whole time and sent many cute pictures and updates. It was clear my cat was comfortable and well cared for, which means so much to me. I really appreciate how thoughtful and reliable she was. I’ve already booked her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
“Falcor enjoyed his Christmas vacation with Carla. She sent us updates and pictures every day. He ran out of food and she made sure to let us know and went and got him what he needed. We would recommend Carla to anyone needing a dog sitter for an extended trip.”
About: I've had dogs for my whole life and I absolutely love them. I love all dogs too, big or small. I love playing with them and running and walking them. Dog cuddles are definitely the best to me. I am currently a preschool teacher, but I will be done each day around 12:30. My hours are flexible, especially in the summer and during school breaks. I am able to work around all kinds of schedules at this time. I have my own dog and I take her on multiple walks daily and make sure to play with her too and make sure that she gets plenty of daily exercise. I also walk my neighbors two dogs daily Monday-Friday and make sure that they get good exercise and go potty for her in the middle of each day. I have even done check in visits with another one of my neighbors that have cats and I made sure to clean their litter boxes and refresh any empty food bowls or water bowls too while they were out of town.
“Crystal took wonderful care of our Chihuahua Bit while we were on vacation. Would highly recommend!”
“Marketa and family were absolutely wonderful hosts for my 8 month old shepherd mix. They provide continuity with at home expectations, superb communication, silly updates and quirky photo moments. We felt so comfortable leaving Bodhi with her. She has a fence, another dog to play with, kids and she only accepts one dog at a time. We’ll def be calling again. ?”
“Very highly recommended! Chantal and her husband were great caretakers for our two dogs for a week’s time — even more than we could have expected. They have a beautiful, spacious, safe place — both indoors and for when they had to go outside. My husband and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them there while we were away. From the beginning during our meet-and-greet through pick-up at the end of our trip, we saw just how kind and calm they were, treating our dogs just like their own dog and providing lots of interaction and play. Also, Chantal was extremely accommodating of our 7 month old puppy’s “puppy behavior” and attentive to the need to go outside more frequently. She provided updates every day (and was very responsive to other questions) and we could see just how relaxed our pups were, as if they were staying with family. We are definitely planning on using Chantal’s services the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Cody was a great listener to my husband and I about our pit/boxer. He is honest and so kind. I knew my Duke was in the best place! I picked him up and it seemed like he would have liked to stay with Cody!”
“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”
“Jody took great care of my dog, Hank. She was very thorough in getting to know him and very knowledgeable on introducing her dogs to him. I know he had a blast because he came home happy and tired. And the photos she sent of him while he was with her showed how much fun he was having too. If we are ever back in the area I will get her to dog sit him again!”
“Pamela was absolutely amazing at taking care of Wiley! We got plenty of pictures and felt that he was so cared for! Will definitely be boarding with Pamela again! :)”
“Casey’s family did a phenomenal job caring for our dog, Pepper. They loved her as if she was their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Casey!!”
“Maddie is amazing! She sent regular updates and pictures and asked clarifying questions to understand my pup and his needs. She genuinely cares and loves on your pet and went above and beyond! I am fully comfortable trusting my Milo with Maddie again. Thank you SO MUCH, Maddie!”
