“Kristina and Fletcher get 5 stars for being super awesome and taking care of my dog overnight. My dog came Home happy and healthy. Highlights: -responsive -responsible (couldn’t do a certain meet up time since the dog they were boarding at the time didn’t do well with other dogs…this was a good sign) -dedicated to their craft -nice, pet friendly setup where safe walks are no problem (sidewalks as opposed to walking on the side of a suburban road) Thank you both so much. Toby the Dog looks forward to returning the next time we need overnight pet care.”
“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”
“Breanna was amazing! Always kept in contact and we felt our sweet boy was loved and taken care of! Definitely the best experience we had with Rover!”
“Sierra was great with Hyde! Hyde is very high energy and can be temperamental with other dogs, which doesn’t always make him and easy dog to sit. However, I was completely comfortable with Sierra watching Hyde, as she was very communicative when needed and sent photos of him during the sitting. I will definitely be booking again when in need.”

About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.
