“Haylie was great with our three little, energetic dogs. She was punctual and a great communicator. Haylie kept them busy, and sent photos. She checked in with questions and updates, and also kept them happy. They were smiling and enjoying their time, as you could see in the photos. I felt confident leaving the dogs with Haylie, and would certainly use her services again. Thank you!”
“Meghan will be my go-to for all future dog sitting. She took care of my pups as if they were her own. She’s extremely conscientious and caring, as well as professional. My pups loved her and that is part of my litmus test. You cannot go wrong with Meghan in charge!!”
“Robin was kind and gentle with our boy Yoda. He loved it there, I could tell by that big smile on his face. Being available during Christmas was a big deal! Thank you Robin for caring for our little man, even letting him snuggle!!”
“Jennifer was great with out pups! She kept us posted daily on how they were doing while in her care -- and they were doing great! They were in good spirits when we went to pick them up and seemed happy and well cared for. We will use Jennifer again!”

“I was super nervous about finding a new sitter after our old sitter of 5 years moved away, but Ariel made the whole experience so easy. She was so sweet with my pups, communicated really well, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. Every photo had them smiling and looking so happy. She completely eased my nerves for our first stay, and I already booked their next trip with her. Honestly, I don’t think they even wanted to leave her house when I picked them up 😂 Highly recommend!”

“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of all animals for 8 years I love animals of any kind. My favorite has to be dogs. We just get along so great. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll have plenty of time to love care and play with your fur babies.

“Skylar was great!! She was super accommodating, communicative, and sent daily updates of how my pup was doing. Everything went smoothly and I would recommend her to others!”
“We appreciated having updates on our Mavs. All the videos and pictures gave us peace and assurance that our little guy was being loved and cared for. We will continue to have Elizabeth watch our pup.”
“Heidi was excellent. She treated Gizmo like we was in his own home. They went for walks, played and in general she let Gizmo feel safe and secure as if he was home. Thank you Heidi as we were so worried to leave him for that many days.”
“We used Kelly to watch our little Cassie for 5 nights. Each day Kelly sent pictures and videos. She helped us feel at ease being away from her and we knew Cassie was safe and having a blast! The icing on top was the beautiful gift Kelly put together for Cassie when she left. Thanks Kelly for such wonderful service. We will definitely be using you again soon!”

Clara did an amazing job taking care of our elderly dog while we were gone for 10 days. She sent us pictures regularly and updates of what he was up to. I know it wasn’t an easy task because he needs a lot of attention. Clara also is very nice and respectful and we appreciate her for taking care of our little Tyson.
