“I could not be more pleased with the care that Desire gave to my energetic boxer puppy ROCCO!! He was with her for 5 nights and the videos and pictures she sent I was worried he would not want to come home!!! I knew he was well cared for and was able to enjoy my time away!!!”
“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
“Rosa and her daughters cared for my Luna like she was their own. Their home was clean and orderly and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of videos while I was away and Luna seemed to have a great time with them and was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I was in town for a camping trip and she was very flexible with drop off and pick-up and was consistent and responsive with communication. Will definitely use her again if I’m in the area.”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs ranging in size and need! I've given pills and insulin injections to some of the dogs I've watched and am very comfortable with those things. I've also watched chickens, turtles, and cats! I am a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little boys! So I am readily available for your pet! We cannot wait to play and meet your pet! I have a fenced in yard. I have a small 8 lb dog that is unamused by other dogs and will keep his distance. Your dog can be crated if you'd prefer. I also have a toddler who knows to be gentle with our dog and will be with yours too.
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Jamie was very caring and compassionate dog caretaker. My 8 months old pup had a great time with Jamie and her dog Daisy. She is very timely about all the daily updates with pictures!! Will definitly use her service again.”
About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.
“David and his family welcomed our dog like he was their own! They took care to meet him ahead of time to make sure they would be compatible. David’s communication was amazing throughout the process. Would highly recommend!”
“Rebecca was fantastic with my dogs!! I had a new rescue dog that didnt like anyone and I was freaking out what to do with him….she took on the challenge of a chihuahua with a big personality and by the end of their stay they were friends! We were gone for 2 weeks and I got pics and updates every day!! I felt so relieved! Highly reccomend!”
“This was the first time in over a year we could attend an event and not have to rush home afterwards, our Teagan was well cared for and looked like he was having fun from the picture we received, thanks Jessica for the great service you provided.”
“Rachel and her family are so loving and warm bunch. They were absolutely wonderful with our golden Kobe. She was great about communicating when needed and sent us pics daily. He had a blast with Rachel’s kids and she even took Kobe on walks which was so important to us. Thank you Rachel!”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Kayla took great care of my dog! She sent many updates letting me know how my dog was doing and was quick to respond to me. Would for sure recommend her to a friend and book with her again!”
“Caitlin is great! I knew my girl would be in good hands during the meet and greet. She provided updates throughout the entire stay. I was completely at ease, not one worry. Reese loves her!”
“Maria is AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of our dog. She treated her as her own and sent daily photos and videos! I would HIGHLY recommend Maria to anyone looking for a sitter! We will certainly be booking with her again!❤️❤️”
“Sandy took great care of my puppy Ginger while we were out of town. She communicated with me throughout the boarding and sent lots of updates and photos. I would definitely use Sandy for boarding in the future and I recommend her to others.”

Emily was terrific. She took care wonderful care of our dog, Millie, including, but not limited to dispensing medication for her needs, walking, playing and interfacing with her. I will definitely try and use her in the future to take care of our dog. She promptly responded to questions I had and kept me up to date with how Millie was doing.
De'Andra and Robert are terrific. This was our first time booking with them and they took wonderful care of our little Sophie who has anxiety issues. De'Andra knew exactly what to do to teach Sophie how to relax and enjoy her stay with them. We are just amazed at the change from this dog sitter compared to our previous sitter. I would recommend De'Andra and Robert to anyone who wants or needs a great pet sitter.
Meredith watched my 10 month old beagle puppy for a week while I was away for work. It was the first time leaving him for that long. Meredith was so great with him, sent lots of pictures, and really made me feel at ease! Being a puppy, he can require a lot of patience and work and Meredith was wonderful! Langston looked like he was so comfortable, too.
Heather and Evan are wonderful! This was the first time leaving my girl with anyone, and it was for a multiple day trip. Heather consistently and promptly provided updates throughout the trip which helped me actually be able to enjoy my vacation! I couldn’t be more thankful for them and will be using them again.
This was our second time booking with Sara & Tovia and we could not be happier with the care, attention and updates they provided. Our girl was so happy when she realized we were at their door at drop off which is always reassuring knowing she's in good hands. Cannot recommend them enough.
Nina did an amazing job watching my dog. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I especially appreciated the photo updates—this was a huge plus and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Nina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.
Samira is literally THE BEST!! She was so proactive in keeping me up to date on my doggie, and very flexible when I wanted to visit. We were in town for the holiday and I realized at the last minute that there was no way I could leave my baby in a kennel. Samira came to the rescue - she walked him every day and let me know how he was eating. Her dogs are so friendly and well-behaved: they got along like brothers! She’ll be our go to every time we’re in the area from now on.
We were very happy with Rosa and her family. From start to finish, they were very caring and sweet. Since it was our first experience, we loved it. Our pups were in the best hands. We highly recommend trusting Rosa, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much, Rosa and family! From Tina and Cooper 🐶🐶🫶🏻❤️
