“Paula was fantastic. She was very flexible when we had to schedule an early morning drop off and sent lots of updates. She definitely loves animals and treated our dog as if he were her own. We felt very relaxed knowing we didn't need to worry about our dog because he was in great hands. We have already booked another stay. We definitely would highly recommend Paula.”

“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”

“Charlotte & her dog Lupin were both very welcoming to my shy 7mo pup, helped her feel at home & she had so much fun! I was nervous about boarding her for the first time, but Charlotte definitely knows what she’s doing and cares a lot about making guests comfortable. I got lots of adorable pics of my pup having a great time in their yard & dog den. 10/10, highly recommend!”

“Taylor kept our Golden Retriever for the week of Thanksgiving with very little notice. She was very friendly and played with our dog and sent us pictures to keep posted on his daily adventures. We will definitely trust Taylor to care for our beloved pet in the future!”

Pamela R.

“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”

Sadie B.

“Shan was wonderful to accommodate our large golden doodle on such short notice. She sent us pictures and videos of our sweet boy and took him outside to play often. We would totally recommend her to others!! Thank you so much Shan!!”

“Best dog sitter EVER!!! Rebecca started sending photos of LuLu within minutes of us dropping her off, and she continued sending pictures during the entire pet sit. We could see that LuLu was being well cared for and was getting loads of attention. I don't think Rebecca was able to get anything done for herself because she devoted so much time to LuLu! LuLu gets separation anxiety, but I don't have to worry about that now that I've found Rebecca. LuLu gets to have a vacation at Auntie Rebecca's place while we are having our vacation. We all have fun! Rebecca is responsible and attentive to every detail. She lives in a safe neighborhood and has a fully fenced yard. She never leaves LuLu unattended in the yard, and they spend hours outside every day. She spoiled her with attention, not food, which is important to me. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough! If she is available when you need a dog sitter, do not hesitate to book with Rebecca.”

“Marah is an incredible sitter! It was our first time sending our puppy with a dog sitter. Luna had a great time playing with the doggos and Marah sent me pics and updates. Highly recommend ?”

Hayley A.

“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”

Victoria L.

“Donna treats our Pebbles as good as we do! She is a wonderful caregiver and made our pup quite content while we were away. Donna kept us informed often sending pictures and notes regularly.”

Larry C.

“Cindy took awesome care of my little man. She kept me updated with pictures and telling me he was doing just fine. She followed my instructions on feeding him. I was so happy I found her. When I picked him up I could see just how well she had spoiled him. I will be using Cindy again. Thank you for taken care of my fur baby. Thank you for being flexible and understanding for the short notice.”

“Melissa kept my dog Howard for a night and everything went as smoothly as possible. Howard is a shy dog, but warmed up to Melissa quickly and was comfortable staying with her. She's kind, communicates quickly and clearly, and I'd highly recommend her for any service she offers.”

Quinn C.

“Cheryle and Henry were undeniably the BEST dogsitters we’ve ever used. They cared for our little Sophie like she was their own. Sophie doesn’t eat much whenever we are gone, but this was the first time she actually ate her food. That told us that she was comfortable with them. They sent us photos so we could see how she was doing along with daily text updates. We are so grateful to them for loving and caring for our sweet Sophie. We look forward to using them again.”

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and 15 years of experience caring for pets. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and compassionate care to every pet I meet. I grew up with animals and currently have a three-year-old dog whom I trained myself, making me confident in basic obedience training. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including basic training, socialization, and understanding canine body language. I’ve also cared for multiple cats and appreciate their independent yet affectionate nature. From playtime and snuggles to maintaining feeding routines and administering medication when needed, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs active engagement, gentle companionship, or a structured routine, I’m here to provide the care they deserve. As a full-time graduate student in a virtual program, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight boarding, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your travel or work schedule. With the ability to be home throughout the day, I can ensure your pet gets regular companionship, exercise, and care. Whether they need structured routines or just lots of cuddles, I’m here to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. I provide a loving and secure environment for pets in my home, with a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely. I also have a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old poodle who enjoys the company of other dogs, making for great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means plenty of playtime, structured routines, or a quiet space to relax. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for sleeping or downtime to match their usual routine. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
