Megan is an attentive, communicable host, with a spotless home and a beautiful large safe property! She reads directions closely and offers detailed check-ins when our dogs are away. She also has an excellent creek behind her house which I didn’t realize at first! Her dog is friendly and I would definitely book again with her

Chester was great. He sent us many pictures and videos of our puppy. He had a great play area setup. We felt like our dog was in great hands. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking or a reliable dog sitter!

I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my babies. My two have their own quirks and she and her partner did so great at taking good care of them and learning about them.

This is Tucker's second time with Nicole and her family. Nicole is very responsive and caring. Tucker seems to have a great time and might be spoiled with her even more than with me. Nicole please tell your girls that Tucker will see them soon.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

5 stars isn't enough to express my gratitude to Emily & Andre for the loving care and attention they give my boys - who come back from every visit happy and calm. Also very much appreciate the frequent updates, can't recommend them highly enough though selfishly I want to keep them to myself :)

Brittany was very responsive from the beginning. She took great care of Maple, sent some pictures while we were gone and gave Maple lots of attention so we could spend the day in Cooperstown with our kids. Thanks Brittany!
