1. Samantha N.
“So grateful to have Samantha caring for our two pups and cat while we were away this week. We had a weird scare with our fire alarm going off (without any signs of a fire) and she was very communicative throughout the situation. She would check in frequently with photo updates so we knew our fluffers were doing great. Would definitely book with Samantha again and recommend to anyone in the area :)”
2. John B.
“John was great with our sweet Dolly! This was only our second time leaving her so we are still figuring out how she does while we are away! She had a little bit of anxiety with us gone and John was great about communicating that to us and helping us find a solution that worked for both of them! He was super nice and took great care of her!”
3. Maria L.
“Thank you for taking great care of Magna again :) So awesome to return to a happy and relaxed dog. No anxiety or stress, which would be evident if she didn't have daily needs of mental engagement and physical met. Or would happen with being boarded. Also appreciate how respectful and courteous of home and property Maria is, thank you!”
4. Jaelah W.
“I call Jaelah the dog/cat whisper!!! She has a gentle way with animals, that I have never seen before. She has patience, a calm demeanor, affectionate soul, with a leading attitude. If she could bring every animal home, she would. She is a college student with goals, and using her love for pets to her earn her independence. I would call her to watch my pet anytime!!!”

“John was great! Our babies were happy and taken care of. Even our shy one was good with him which is a first for us. I think that says a lot. I would highly recommend!”
7. Brittany B.
“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”

10. Michael L.
“Michael was Amazing with my pup!! He cared for her like she belonged to him. It’s evident that he really loves animals and is a very kind young man! Michael stayed with my dog on several occasions… took her for walks… played with her and sent us pictures on multiple occasions to keep us updated while we were away. I will definitely call Michael to care for my lil dog anytime I have to go out of town!!”
11. Zoe B.
“Zoe was great. She sent pictures everyday, gave our boys lots of TLC and was gracious enough to unbox our food delivery. We were most concerned for our older dog, as he tends to not eat when we're away, but Zoe was patient and loving making him feel secure enough to eat. Will definitely reach out again for future weekends away.”
12. Stephanie G.
“Awesome!! Is the only word that comes to mind. She came and done 2 meet and greet with my fur babies just to ease my mind. She did overnight house sitting for ALL 3 of my babies and did a fabulous job gaining the trust of my 2 rescues and my loving sweet boy Tyson. She was sending pictures of them playing and cuddling and loving on all of the fur babies. She kept me informed and was great with communication. She even offered/asked for light housekeeping things she could possibly help with while we were away. She went above and beyond and for that im grateful!! And will definitely be booking Again and again and again... lol Highly Recommend her for all your fur babies needs!!”
13. Julia B.
“Julia is amazing!! She spent a week at my apartment with my 9 year old dog Rory and it went really well! Julia sent daily pictures/videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! She even kept my plant alive. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I strongly recommend Julia =)”
14. Rebecca R.
“When I got home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of! They loved it! Rebecca was so professional and sent photos of the doggies while I was out of town! I will definitely be using Rebecca again for the amazing service my dogs received!”
15. Sarah W.
“We are so happy with our experience with Sarah H. we have already booked her again! She took great care of our dogs and our house!!! I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust! Our dogs loved her!!!”
16. Harrison K.
“The best experience I have had with a dog sitter. Harrison went above and beyond our expectations and did so much for our pup. Sent us updates every day with pictures and videos of the dogs playing at the dog park, going to the beach, and more, all which he asked for permission to take our dog to of course! I think my dog was probably a bit disappointed to leave him as I honestly think he might have had a better vacation than us! I will 100% never use another sitter to watch my pup ever again as I don’t think it could get any better than Harrison.”
17. Laura B.
About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. I'm currently a stay at home mom who homeschools a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet during the day and he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. Can make special accommodations for boarding pets that don't prefer other dogs as long as they aren't dangerous. Our dogs stay on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. We do have some caged pets but they will be in a separate part of the house during boarding 🙂
