“Very responsive and proactive with sending pictures/walking Stanley to give us peace of mind. Very thankful and appreciative of Joseph’s help. Our dog seemed very comfortable and happy with his care!”

“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Avonlea was amazing!! Even though it was my first time meeting her, I felt comfortable leaving my baby w her n knew she’d take great care of him. Upon arriving, my Frankie walked right in and made himself at home in her yard. She sent lots of photos, and I could tell Frankie loved her. I am so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am currently on a government furlough so I am home full time. I am able to be as involved as you need me to be! I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.
“Emily is communicative and thoughtful! She sent my pictures throughout the day which was greatly appreciated. My dog has some separation anxiety but was comfortable staying with Emily and her family!”

“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”

“We have used Jenny at least four times and as always she does a wonderful job. She sends lots of pictures and quick to answer any questions. We will be booking again.”

“Sierra and Jack were great! Arlo seemed to have a great time based on all the pictures and videos that were sent during his stay with them. Arlo will definitely be staying with them again when I go on my next trip!”

“Mary-Claire provided excellent care for our dog, Max. She communicated very promptly when we requested a booking for boarding from her. She sent pictures and text messages during Max’s stay which we absolutely loved. We would definitely use her again in the future if she would be willing.”

“Cassandra was amazing! She made sure to ask plenty of questions to make sure she understood my dogs habits, took him for a walk every day, and provided me with pictures and updates on how he is doing. Not only that, on one of the nights he was with her, one of her neighbors had started to set off fireworks, which terrifies my dog. Cassandra had played classical music, and comforted him for over and hour until the fireworks had stopped. I had felt like she had treated him as her own, which was exactly what I was hoping for, but more than I could have asked for.”

“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”

“LOVED the experience. I knew my girl was in safe hands and am so glad I booked with Skylar. Very responsive, very understanding, randomly sent pictures!! I never worried once while she took care of my moody, drooly dog. Will use her again and again, as long as she will have us!”

About: Hi! I'm a responsible and caring pet lover with experience looking after both dogs and cats. I’ve spent a lot of time helping care for my sister’s dogs, so I’m familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of love and attention. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I’d love the chance to care for your furry baby while you’re away! I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily on the weekends. I'm free to care for your pets starting Friday evening through Sunday evening. I’m also available during the week in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. Whether you need someone for a weekend getaway or just a couple of days of reliable care. I’d be happy to help make sure your pets are safe and happy. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure to give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while keeping their routine as normal as possible. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Sarah was the best! Our dog was so well cared for beyond anything we expected. We appreciated all the updates and how she treated Winston like her own dog! Will definitely book with Sarah again :)”


“This was one of the best experiences I’ve had when it comes to housing my babies. They had a great time with Lauryn and her family. The interaction was amazing. I have a ton of pictures and videos of them acting like they were residents at this home. I’m very pleased with the care they received. You could tell that this was a home that loved dogs. My babies were comfortable, relaxed and entertained. This means the world to me. Lauryn we love you! If you will have us, we will definitely be back. This was a home away from home experience for my dogs.”

“Actually the best dog sitter i've had. She kept me updated on my dog's and sent pictures so i could see them . Definitely Recommend her if you easily stress about your fur babies.”
