“Forever thankful to Mr. Clayton for watching my precious little puppy. He was very understanding when I had to change the dates of my puppies stay and even allowed me to pick him up later than agreed. Overall superb dog sitter!!!”


“Leaving Mac with Sarah and her family was a true blessing for me and Mac both! The love and acceptance of mac was unconditional love ! You can't find anyone else that gives the attention,affection and love they gave!! I love Sarah and will most definitely have her watch him again ! 💝🤗😊”


“My pup stayed for the first time with Julia. Usually, he comes home crazy and smelly after being away from home - but not with Julia. He was well taken care of. Julia also sent me pictures to show me that he was doing well and having fun. I will definitely keep leaving my dog with Julia every time I go out of town!”


“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”


“We had our Irishdoodle stay with Danika and her sweet family for a few nights while we were out of town. Danika was recommended by someone we know and we couldn't have been happier. We are excited to have our pup stay there again in a few weeks!”


“Larissa was and is absolutely AMAZING! She watched our 3 month old puppy for a week and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She was on top of everything and never forgot to send updates and pictures! She was extremely kind and her and her family treated our pup like family! Her home and property is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place for dogs to run around and have fun! If you need a sitter, she is your go to! I am beyond thankful for all she did for me and my family while being out of town!”


“Gabby was amazing. My Sully stayed with Gabby and her clan for a week. Sully had SO much fun interacting with the dogs and children. No issues what so ever. Sully has been napping the last 2 days since we picked him up.”


“Ashley and Jon did a wonderful job watching our senior dog while we were out of town. They definitely made him feel part of the family and put our minds at ease. We can't wait to use them again.”


“This was our first time boarding with Tasha and we are very happy with how everything turned out! She was very sweet and caring for Benji and she really listened to the notes and info we provided for him. She was able to accommodate for him to fully enjoy his stay. We would definitely recommend for any puppy parents!”


“Amanda was great! She kept us up to date with pictures daily and feedback as to how the stay was going. Our 2 year old lab absolutely loved it there. We will definitely be using her for all future bookings.”


“Danielle and her family provided wonderful care for little Ichigo! Their dog Panda is the perfect playmate. Will definitely request again when we are on the road! Thanks again! Rowena C.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years, starting back in California where I regularly walked and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight boarding and weekend stays. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll, a trip to the dog park, a hike, or a good bath after playtime, I make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to match their energy and needs; whether that means a lot of activity or lots of snuggles! I work weekdays from 6am to 2pm and am usually home by 3pm. I’m available for boarding after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. During the week, your pup will still get plenty of love, attention, and walks once I’m home. Weekend stays are even more flexible—I’m fully available for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day! I live in a clean, comfortable 2-bedroom apartment with access to two dog parks right in my community, which makes potty breaks and playtime super convenient. I’m also happy to drive to nearby trails and parks so your pup can enjoy more space to run, explore, and get their energy out. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Keeping routines consistent, giving lots of affection, and making sure they feel secure and loved.

“Crystal and her family were fantastic! They sent frequent updates and photos, were flexible to my dog Vera’s needs, and welcomed her so warmly. I had peace of mind the moment I met them. They are such a nice family, and I will definitely have them take Vera again. Thank you!!”


About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, Bruce and Ellie. I work mostly from home and have a fully fenced yard, so your pup will get plenty of attention and safe outdoor time. I'm available on weekends and holidays to care for your pets. I mostly work out of the home and am flexible on drop off and pick up times. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I can generally facilitate. I mostly work from home so they will be supervised. If I am out of the house, I can either crate them or leave them out with mine, your preference!

“My pup had a fantastic stay and felt right at home immediately! Michele was so great and flexible it made our trip so easy knowing that Hooch was getting loved on and playing with new friends. We'll definitely book again!”

She's also very good about maintaining communication; I will get many updates and pictures when she watches my dog.

She's very mindful of what my dog needs and is willing to do whatever it takes to make them feel pampered and spoiled while away from me!
