“Jeanne is AMAZING. We got home to happy dog, clean house, an awesome day by day journal, and near daily check ins (that we kept requesting and appreciating). Jeanne is an awesome communicator, kept our house in immaculate condition, and all was well during our vacation. We will 100% use her again and knowing we have a great sitter for Winnie makes me even more inclined to book a future vacation. 100% recommend.”

“Cheryl was great with Mocha. She was very attentive to Mocha and provided us with several updates and pictures. We are now excited about leaving knowing that we have Cheryl available to care for our dog.”

“Jasmine watched our 3 month old puppy and was awesome! She provided plenty of updates (lots of pictures!), was able to let her out regularly, and kept her entertained all day while we were gone! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable puppy sitter!”

Madison W.

“Tegra made me feel comfortable with leaving my senior pup. She provided photos and communicated with me when the many times I reached out to check in on Tedi. I came home to a happy pup!”

Jeanee S.

“Murphy did amazing, especially with Gomez who is pretty scared of new people. It was so nice to know our doggies were in great hands! The picture updates were the best!”

“Holy Cow! Sonja was incredible! She took time to get to know both our dogs and met their individual needs. She communicated so well and made us feel at ease during our very busy trip. We love our puppies like children and Sonja clearly treated them as her own! We are so fortunate to have found her and will absolutely ask her to stay with Zoom and Pebbles again!”

Dawn P.

“Faith did a fantastic job with our Bruno. We have used Faith many many times now for long trips, short trips, walks when we were out for a long day and every time it has been the best experience. Bruno and Faith are best buds. She cares for him like her own. She communicates every day if not twice a day with updates and questions that come up and lots of photos. Faith has always left our house spotless each time too which is always a bonus after a long trip! Simply put she is amazing!!!!”

Benedetta B.

“Clare did an awesome job, going above and beyond to take care of Altas. She kept me up to date on everything and shared pics. We will have her again!”

Joni G.

“Katelyn is great! We’ve had her to our house twice now to stay overnight with our girls. She sends updates throughout the stay and our girls always seem to be very happy after a weekend with her.”

Michaela M.

“Sarah was great with our dogs while we were on vacation. She was prompt and had good communication. We came home to a happy household. I would recommend Sarah.”

Pam A.

“Sarah was the best with our dogs. She went above and beyond in making sure our dogs were comfortable and cared for. Our more nervous dog was relaxed enough to eat his all his food, and our puppy had no accidents — both of which are not common with us out of the house. On top of that she was very communicative the whole time! Truly so grateful to have found her and would be happy to have her care for our pups again.”

About: My entire life has been spent with dogs (of all ages!). I grew up in a household with dogs, and was included in their training as a young girl. I began dogsitting for family in high school and college, which I LOVED doing. I dreamed of having a pup of my own, but had to wait until I finished school. That's when Wrigley chose me at the shelter. He wrapped me around his little paws right away, and before I knew it I was a proud parent to a rambunctious 4-month-old puppy! ❤️ When he was around 2 years old, it became evident that he was suffering from bad doggy anxiety. I contacted a behaviorist that I've known for years that works at his vet's office (I call her his therapist 😂), and began sessions to find ways to help him. The sessions were more about me learning how to navigate him through situations so that he could see that not everything is scary. He is now 9.5 years old and doing wonderfully. The experience opened my eyes to many things that I hadn't experienced in my previous nearly 30 years of being with dogs. I am now incredibly attuned to the behavior of all dogs and the signs that they're beginning to feel anxious. This knowledge has afforded me the opportunity to help dogs out of situations that they're uncomfortable with. I'm not afraid to ask someone not to pet or to stop petting a dog that is showing signs of feeling uncomfortable in a situation. They can't use words, so I will speak for them! I will never force a dog to do something if their actions are telling me that they don't want to do it. I feel that dogs are the most pure creatures on Earth, and feel it's my duty to treat them as such. I am so grateful for the knowledge gained from having Wrigley, and his anxiety, in my life. It has made me love dogs even more than I already did. I have cared for dogs as young as 6 weeks and as old as 14 years. I have assisted in, or led, the training of 4 dogs. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I also love to walk! I walk at least 4 miles per day and love every minute of it. I'd love to have your pup join me on a walk! I'm also available for drop-in visits (which would include loving on your pup!) and overnight stays while you're away. I always enjoy getting updates about Wrigley when I'm away from him, and plan to extend the same peace of mind to you. I would love nothing more than to make some new 4-legged best friends! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I will likely be available to care for your pets during your upcoming spring and summer vacations! My schedule will become less flexible toward the end of summer, but I anticipate that I'll still have some availability to make (or continue) new doggy friendships! I currently live in a townhome in an apartment complex, and the environment isn't ideal for some dogs (especially those who live in a single family home) as you can frequently hear the next door neighbors, neighboring pets, etc., which can cause stress for some pups. With the comfort of the dog being my utmost priority, I have decided that I will not be offering boarding in my home at this time. I would be happy to come stay at your home with your pup (or pups), though! Wrigley would love to join me and play with some new friends (with your permission of course). I would never bring him without having done a meet-and-greet for the dogs at a neutral location first, but I do find that having a non-human friend to play with can help pups feel at ease when their people are gone. Some dogs prefer only human friends, which is totally fine! I'm happy to be their substitute person while you're away. 🙂

“Dave was wonderful, east to work with and extremely accommodating! He took care of our GoldenDoodle for a long weekend and made sure to keep us updated with how things were going and sent us pictures throughout the entire weekend. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone who is looking to have someone take care of their pup.”

Claire M.

“Adrinne was incredible! She took great care of our dog, Rita, taking her on my walks, to dog-friendly coffee shops, and many snuggles. She sent photos and updates every day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her back!”

“Kelsey did a fantastic job with our dog and cat while we were away for thanksgiving! We got daily updates and pictures of both animals. 10/10 will book with her again!”
