“Kyle was a fantastic sitter for Jake during my week-long vacation. He sent updates and pictures daily. You can tell he is very experienced with owning dogs. I would 100% book again!”


About: We’ve had many dogs from small to large over the last 18 years. We’d love to take care of your pets so you can unwind and unplug. We are around most weekends over the summer to walk/ board your pets. During the week, we work full time but can stop in before and after work and before bed. We will treat your dog as one of our own. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a large fenced in backyard for exercise and play. Our 3 kids will tire out your pup. Unfortunately our daughter is allergic to cats so we can’t board them but we’d love to drop in to feed/ play with them.

“This was the first time Bento was away from us. He is now 11 months old. Aleja took good care of him. She sent pictures and brief statements so we could aways check how Bento was doing. We definetely would use her services again.”


“Amy was great with our senior dog. He can get confused in new situations and Amy and Riley (her dog) were both very patient. In the end, it was obvious that Marley had a great week and he came home with a renewed spirit. Thanks, Amy!”


About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.

About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.

“Jaylene was amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family and she made us feel totally comfortable leaving our boy in her care. She sent daily photos and videos and was quick to respond, and I knew he had an amazing time with her! Would definitely use her services again in the future!”


“Kevin and his wife were great; able to take my 2 dogs at short notice . kept me advised how they were doing and flexible to work with my odd schedule. would recommend them to others.”


“Max arrived an earthquake in an eclipse while in her care. Everything went wonderfully. He's such a sweet dog and had such a good time with all the other dogs. Everything really well. We're so happy to have our little dog back in such good condition.”


“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”


“Kim and Dean are absolutely amazing! They were in contact with us everyday giving us an update on our dog / sending pictures which was wonderful because we hate leaving our pup. We knew our dog was in great hands and will be using Kim and Dean again in the future!”


“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”


“Kristin and her family were a perfect fit for our cat, Luna! She was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire booking process and Luna's stay. She regularly sent photos and updates of how Luna was doing, which made us feel at ease while we were away. We certainly hope to use her services again the next time we travel! Thank you so much, Kristin and family!”


About: I will gladly help with your dog, and hopefully, it will also work well for mine. I have a seven-year-old English Springer Spaniel who will enjoy the company. Make sure to submit proof of valid vaccination to the sitter RABIES/BORDETELLA/DISTEMPER. Like a family member who needs time, it also depends on the size and habits of your pet and the daily needs of your pupil.

“Scott was wonderful at keeping us up to date on Copper while he was staying with him. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more, knowing Copper was in good hands.”


“Maria N., May I express my sincere appreciation of your kind and loving care for my Adelaide. Maria N. maintains an impeccable home for dog care. The entire house is immaculately clean (human & dog area) There is plenty of sleeping space. Plenty of room inside and outside for dog to walk, stretch and roll in the grass. The entire house is secure for both humans and dogs. Maria N. and her family are excellent caregivers and for people looking for a place to temporarily place their dog. Maria N. is the one to go to. Maria N. was a caring guardian for Adelaide and will be for your dog. Mitch M.”

Tomasz K.
“If there is one person that I trust to leave my dogs with it’s Tomasz. He is the most loving and caring not only with his own dog but with ours too. He would take ours to the park and I knew I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend Tomasz, I promise your dog will not miss you after being with Tomasz.”


Elia R.
“Elia is great with my mini schnauzer, Sadie. When I go away on vacation I can trust that she will be well taken care of . I know that Sadie loves to spend time with her and gets so excited when she sees Elia (noted by the happy tail wags!). I have witnessed how caring and loving Elia is . She takes time to cuddle and play with her until she’s completely worn, and sleeping peacefully in her lap. And I love that Elia keeps me updated with daily activities by sending me photos and phone chats about their day. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent who is looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
