“Carmelle Joy responded to our request for sitting in their home promptly. We set up a meet and greet a few days later and met at their home. Both Joy and her husband were extremely friendly and our dogs (after the initial bark) seemed to feel comfortable around them and their dog Mollie. Joy sent us daily pictures of Lilli and Luigi and they looked content. We would definitely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Their sons were very nice too, carrying our dogs belongings when we first arrived. Great experience, we felt they were in a friendly, safe home while we were gone.”
“Our dog Moxy was very happy with her stay for eight days, and so was I. I received messages and pictures day with updates. The large fenced yard allowed Moxy to play run, and she also liked that she had another dog to play with who was staying at the same time. Highly recommended!!”
About: I have 10 years of experience as a pet owner as well as 3 years of experience as a dog walker / behavior specialist volunteer at a local animal shelter. Over the course of the past five years, I can confidently say I’ve handled over 1,000 dogs of different sizes with ease. Additionally, one of my dogs is a senior with a daily medication regimen, so I know how to pill dogs without any fear tactics. I am also Fear Free Certified! I’m available for boarding throughout most weeks but really open up on the weekends. I am enthusiastic about meeting pups every day of the week! I have a privacy fenced yard and 3 dog friendly dogs to keep your babies company! I am comfortable leaving your pup in a crate if need be, but if not, they can free roam in the dog room (complete with a toddler bed and a tv!).
“Monica and Daniel were wonderful with Ringo! They made the drop off go so smooth. They treated him like their own pup! The pictures they sent us helped relieve any anxiety about leaving him and showed he was getting lots of attention! He will be very happy to see them again!”
“Toya was awesome! She sent me pictures and updates and made me feel so comfortable. Stone loves being with her. I’m definitely trusting her with my fur-baby whenever I leave again.”
“Barbara and her husband took absolutely wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. Our first meet n greet Barbara was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced with animals. She treated my dogs like part of their her family, giving them plenty of attention and affection. I really appreciated the updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch my dogs again!”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs. I’ve had two rescue dogs so far, and I have prior shelter experience. Special skills: training young pets, separation anxiety, oral/topical medication, senior care I work remotely so pups would be at home with someone at all times and would have access to frequent potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced yard and one other dog who is very gentle and sweet so she would keep them company and go on walks with them!
About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis.

The daily care for your pet will be the same I provide for my own ❤️ My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖
“Mia was amazing! She kept me updated, assisted with keeping my dogs training on track, and is very kind! I will absolutely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“We have used Tino to watch our dog, Oscar a few times. Tino is great with communication, taking walks and sending pictures. Oscar feels very comfortable when we walk in which is a very good sign that he is happy in his home. His family is also loving to Oscar and gives him positive attention. Based on our experience this past year, I feel confident to recommend Tino.”

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
