Amanda and her husband were amazing with Huckleberry. She told me their house is a dog house and boy was she right! He immediately seemed comfortable there the moment we dropped him off. She gave us consistent updates throughout the stay and treated him as he was her own. He absolutely adored her and was loving all the cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch him in the future and I hope we get to utilize Amanda’s services again!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I currently have two fur babies. One is 5 and the other is 11. I’ve had both of them since they were very young. My dogs are super happy and healthy. I have crate trained one of my dogs. I love dogs. Dogs must be good with children. My kids are 7 and 8. They are very good with dogs. During the summer I am off work since during the school year I teach preschool. I am home everyday. I can take dogs for long periods of time and I’m very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby entertained. I can take your dog for walks and will play with your dog.

About: I’m a dedicated and attentive dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog every day, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. Through this experience, I’ve learned how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s unique personality are for providing great care. I’m comfortable with exercise needs, administering basic care, reinforcing positive behavior, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for my dog has given me practical experience and a genuine passion for working with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. I’m available full-time, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and holidays. My open availability means I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, extended stays, or last-minute bookings. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for pets and their owners, and my schedule allows me to give each dog the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment in a safe home with a fully fenced yard, Your dog would be hanging out with me and Chewy in a large finished basement, he is free to explore and do anything he wants in the room and chose any place to sleep, I have a huge couch that Chewy sleeps on or he will have a dog bed with covers, his choice! Fenced yard and supervised outdoor play and exercise. I let the dogs use the bathroom in the backyard. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to create a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel comfortable and protected. My small dog is friendly and helps create a welcoming atmosphere, while I always prioritize careful introductions and close supervision to ensure every pet feels safe. I’m committed to maintaining a clean, secure environment where pet parents can feel confident their dog is being cared for like family!

Chelsea was an amazing sitter! It was our first time ever using this service and it was an outstanding experience. She was professional and sent me updates about our pup multiple times a day. The most telling sign was our pup seemed so very happy playing and even happier to us picking him up! 100% recommend, will be going back!

Dena also did a great job with updates and photos which we appreciated so much, as it allowed us to get a glimpse into the amazing time potter was having.

Tara was VERY accommodating, which was greatly appreciated because I was last minute. My Leo clung to her daughter the whole weekend so he felt right at home. I got back in town late and she was still very gracious. She was patient with my Leo as he's not used to being around other pets.

This was my very first time leaving my dog because I was going on a vacation. I was very nervous because of course that’s my baby. But she took really good care of him and sent me updates very frequently so that helped calmed my nerves. I really would be using her services again. Thank you so much ❤️

They kept me updated with pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.
