“Mark and Vicky have won over the hearts of our dogs by taking such good care of them. We truly appreciate knowing they are receiving attention and love while we are away. We feel they are comfortable and enjoy themselves during their stay.”


“Kaylee watched Bailey for the second time and our German Shepherd Nyah for the first. Nyah had never been watched by anyone besides my mom so this was a big deal. Kaylee did an amazing job. She kept me informed of both dogs and let me know how Nyah was adjusting. Even though Nyah was a slight handful, Kaylee was understanding and sweet during Myahs transition. Thank you again for watching our two fur babies and taking amazing care of them both.”


“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”



“Mark and Elizabeth are outstanding dog sitters. They treated Wrigley as if he was their dog. They even allowed Wrigley to cuddle with them in bed. They sent pictures consistently to update us on how he was doing. They are also super nice people. I highly recommend trusting your dog with Mark and Elizabeth.”


“I was really happy with the care Enzo received from Alexandra. I got up many updates and pictures throughout his stay which made me feel at peace. She was also very helpful in setting a drop off and pick up time when I needed one last minute. Enzo came back happy and fulfilled after playing with her dogs.”


“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”


“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”


“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”


“Anita is just great! She gave us adorable picture updates every day and it was easy to see that Xander felt at home with her and her family! We will definitely be calling her again!!”


“Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.”


“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”


“Love how much care and attention Marie gives our dogs! They sometimes won't eat food when they're in new places but ate every meal so they must have felt very comfortable staying at Marie's! Love the photos too. Thanks Marie!!!”

“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”


“Samantha was great with my 3 fur babies. It was evident that my dogs loved her when I picked. them up because they kept running to her and to us. She was great to send pictures and videos while we were gone to let us know that they were doing great and enjoying the big backyard. I would definitely use Samantha again to watch our dogs.”

About: We have been pet owner for many years now and have had different breeds and sizes. We will care for your pet like our own! We do have one dog, Diesel, in the house and he is really good with other dogs. We will walk your dog around our neighbor hood and if it’s okay with you taking them to the dog park that is just a short drive away. We will send pictures at least daily and keep you up to date with how your animal is doing. :) I currently work from home right now so I am home and able to take your pet out , play with it, take it for walks and just give it attention that it probably wants while it’s missing you . would like a small to medium dog only nothing to big since our dog is a medium sized dog . I also ask that you have a crate for your animal so when we are gone it can be in the cage like ours would be . I also ask that your animal is up to date on there shots and that there is no fleas and that your animal has had some sort of treatment .

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life! From family dogs, to extended family, we’ve had Lhasa apsis, shitzus, pit bulls, boxers, and many in between! I have a love for all animals and hope to some day open up my own dog day care / boarding facility! While I work full time, someone (whether it’s my fiancé or myself) someone will be home every 4 hours to check in and give potty breaks! Our schedules are pretty flexible and our pup keeps up on our toes so we’re always ready for anything. I have a fenced in yard, and 1 friend loving pup who is fully crate trained. While I understand crating doesn’t work for everyone, it works for our pup and family! We have multiple crates of all sizes in our home that are available for use if you need it! The pups will sleep upstairs with us, whether in a crate or on a dog bed. We also have a basement area designated for inside play and activity. They’ll always have an eye on them and will be treated like our own!

“Cashew really enjoyed his stay with Carrie. They took very good care of him and kept us updated throughout the week. Overall we are very happy with how well he was taken care of, we will definitely use Carrie in the future and highly recommend her.”
