“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”
“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”

“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”
“Husky approved! Our 4 year old, Skye, was happy and content having had plenty of exercise time while we were away. We recommend Ricky and will be calling again ourselves. Great yard space, easy communication.”
“I felt so great leaving my dog Delilah with Ji Ah. She sent the most amazing photos and it was so clear my dog Delilah was having a great time and feeling so loved with her, her husband, and their sweet dog Kuma. I will definitely be reaching out for help again during my next trip!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. Everything from dogs to cats, turtles to frogs, bunnies to hamsters to sugar gliders, you name it, I’ve probably had one or taken care of it and treated it like my own family member. I have extensive experience with extra large breed dogs and dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. I’m happy to work with you and your pet so the best possible care is provided. I own a house with about a half an acre fenced in yard....plenty of room to run. Pets are treated like royalty here. I currently work full-time, 90% from home and some travel. I’m flexible with scheduling. I’m very flexible during the week and look forward to helping you take care of your family member! I can easily do whatever your pet or pets need to make their time away from you as comfortable as possible. I can administer medication, accommodate special needs and behaviors. I will respect your wishes when it comes to pet parenting!
“Kimberly, Victor, and Luke were amazing with Dr. Phil, they made it very easy and comfortable for me to leave my fur baby in their care. I will definitely use them again. Thank you guys”
“Trenton was fantastic! He took great care of Delilah. Regular updates, including pictures and videos. I would absolutely hire Trenton again, and highly recommend his services to all pet parents.”
“OMG Senada was awesome!! I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about Kai and how he was being treated. When my son and I took Kai for a meet-and-greet, Senada was so welcoming. She made us feel relaxed and Kai took to her immediately. She has a clean and peaceful home and a beautiful fenced-in backyard that Kai immediately thought was his new home! Lol What solidified everything for me was when she asked, “Can I text you if I have any questions about Kai?” This already shows her level of concern for Kai’s wellbeing. Each day we received pictures and videos of Kai. He was having his own vacation too!! I unreservedly recommend Senada for boarding services. She’s a blessing!! Will definitely be returning!”
“Nancy is a dream! She took perfect care of my little guy and even gave him a special birthday treat. So many walks, lots of attention, and lots of pictures sent my way. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.”
