“Ghost came home happy and well! Codi regularly gave me updates along with photos and was very accommodating to our scheduling needs which was much appreciated! Would absolutely book with Codi again.”
“Smoltz has had three stays with Craig and always comes back happy and healthy. Craig sends photos each day and is extremely professional. Highly recommend.”
“Great experience with Karen and Terry! They took excellent care of Mocha, provided updates and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend.”
“Ginia and her family were absolutely wonderful! Bentley has never been left with anyone before and she eased my fears with photos and daily updates. Bentley had a great time, I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their pet!”
“Stephanie and our pup quickly bonded, and our pup was given just as much love and attention as we would had she been able to travel with us. We very much appreciated that Stephanie only sits for one pet at a time, as our pup is very social with people and hates to be away from others or ignored. After our booking, our pup came back home with no signs of being starved for attention nor excess energy. She was calm and not frantic to leave. We will definitely look forward to future engagements with Stephanie when we can't include our pup in our travel plans.”
“Very nice, professional, & good communication. Felt very confident leaving our 2-year-old dog in their care. He loved playing with their dog as well as a few others that she watched over the week. They have a fantastic setup for dogs to have freedom and play time. I would board with them again.”
“We highly recommend Donald. He is Duke’s favorite sitter. Donald takes excellent care of our labradoodle and is extremely responsive. We appreciate the pictures and twice daily updates. We will continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!”
“Brooke and her family were amazing with our dogs. She kept us informed about them during their stay at her house and we felt very well knowing she was taking great care of Ariel and Olivia. Brooke is the best!!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my dog while I went on vacation and I was super nervous about it but Valerie did such an amazing job and made sure to keep me posted with pictures and videos the whole time. I will definitely be taking her back. Such a good positive experience!”
“She had a separate room for our 3 kitties with cat tree and litter box. It wasn't crowded. She came in and checked in on them a few times a day. They were just being anti social because of moving. She was a caring individual. She kept the litter boxes clean and was wonderful with communication and pictures.”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time we've left our dog with Michelle. She always welcomes him with open arms and shower him with attention. She sends lots of pics and he always gets walks. We get piece of mind when we leave him with Michelle, knowing he will be well cared for.”
About: My wife and I love dogs and would be happy to watch yours on the weekends. We have a half husky/catahoola leopard named Ryleigh who is 12 years old. Would prefer to be under 50 lbs. and non-shed. Pet care only available on weekends. Willing to watch Friday - Sunday. Will be available and home most of the day on the weekends and available for all your pets needs! Pets would stay inside most of the day unless we are out for an adventure! If staying with us, your pet would be able to sleep in the bed or the couch, whichever they prefer!
“Our Winnie girl is a crazy 1 year old lab and I had a hard time finding someone I felt comfortable leaving her with. Kristin was communicative and most importantly, I knew that she took Winnie’s safety seriously. She has a great backyard and plenty of doggie friends for her pup clients to play with! You can tell she is a true dog lover, and it was so nice to take a vacation and know that our baby was in safe hands.”
“Laura took great care of our dog Bailey. She was very kind, accommodating, and understanding when we had to change our booking in the last minute. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how Bailey was doing. Bailey had a surgery recently and Laura helped her to fully recover. We would definitely recommend Laura to take excellent care of your furry friend.”
“Baree is amazing! She took great care of our puppy. She took him out for regular walks and sent updates with pictures. She treated him like one of her own dogs. I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Alison and Richard did a great job caring for our fur baby! Our flight was delayed and they allowed for a later pick up than expected in the evening, which was much appreciated.”
“So happy to find Kahlynne to care for Callie, our goldendoodle! Callie loved her and her beautiful golden retrievers. Loved the updates and daily photos!”
“Michelle took such great care of my senior pup and provided regular updates and photos during his stay there. Her dog is so sweet and was a wonderful companion as well. Thank you, Michelle!”
