About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“They were so kind and loving with our small dog. Great communication and sent pics regularly. Would take our dog there again and highly recommend.”
“Kevin was incredibly responsive in scheduling a somewhat last-minute booking, shared photos of Monte throughout his stay and provided consistent updates, and treated Monte like his own. Will absolutrly be using Kevin again and would highly recommend him.”
“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”
“Jersey loved them!”
“Cory did great with our pups! We were gone for 10 days so we were a little worried but the dogs did great with Cory. They got a lot of walks in and when we picked them up they were as happy as can be! Would definitely rebook with Cory.”
“Elizabeth provided a safe and fun place for our energetic dog to stay and play all week. I think our dog may have been more spoiled than we were on our vacation! I know Elizabeth spent ample time walking, snuggling, and playing fetch. The updates and photos she sent often were comforting and reminded us that our dog was in very god hands. We will definitely be back!”
“Appreciated Cory and spouse caring for our dogs. They always sent an update when we asked! Our dogs were exhausted upon returning home from so much playing! Grateful to have them in a positive space.”
“Amazing! A Huge Thank You and Shout Out to Rex! My frenchie has never stayed with someone else before and my anxiety was through the roof. Rex instantly connected with Oliver and made him feel right at home! I loved the communication and the pictures of their day. It definitely put me at ease while I was out of town! I 100% recommend Rex and will be using him for all my future boarding needs! Thank You Rex! Oliver says Thank You too! 💙”
“From the intro meet and greet to leaving our dog for the weekend- Heather was amazing. Having a senior dog is tough to find the right mix of calm and energy but she did great- spoiling him rotten and reading his needs. We appreciated the photo updates and the welcoming space and personality she brought!”
“Alexandra went above and beyond to give our beagle puppy a great stay from agreeing to a meet and greet beforehand, helping him settle in, and providing lots of snuggles and play time with her pup. She has a great set up at her home and is clearly skilled in caring for dogs. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Madison was amazing watching our dog, Gator. She sent tons of pictures and we were confident Gator was in safe hands with Madison. It is evident she cares so much about the pups she takes care of and best of all, Gator came home happy and tired. We won’t hesitate to call her again in the future!”
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”
“Jaden was wonderful with Gracie. He is caring and kind. We appreciated his daily updates and photos. I would use Jaden again recommending him to everyone.”
“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
