“My dog stayed with Samantha and Matthew twice and he loved it. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them and am confident he’s well taken care of. They are my first choice when I need a sitter in the future.”
“It was such a relief to know we were leaving our buddy Stark in good hands while out of town for a week during Thanksgiving. Sweet family - I’m sure Stark enjoyed all the attention. It sounds like he got his steps in, too. We received daily updates and photos, which was greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!”
“I had never gotten anyone to watch our dog, Bonni, before (other than family) & so I was a little worried, but she did great with Scout and her family! Scout let us come out to her place ahead of time so Bonni could meet her and see where she would stay. Overall, communication was great, she kept me updated on how Bonni was doing with pictures, and I would 100% feel comfortable having her watch Bonni again!”
About: I’m a stay at home mom looking to love on your fur baby while you get away, play or vacay! I have a loving family with 2 teenagers that adore all pets. I like to play fetch, do light training, long walks and just love on fur babies. I’m a stay at home mom so your fur baby will be in great hands. I have a modest home with a large backyard to get those pups with lots of energy out. I have our own 7 year old Golden Retreiver that loves to play with other dogs. I have had animals my whole life and love all fur babies. I would love to help you with yours. I have a large fenced backyard for dogs to play. Dogs are never left alone outside. If a crate is needed please have it brought with you. I do walks, play fetch and games and light training.
“My baby and I love Bonnie so much!!! She has the best time there with Bonnie! She ensures that my dog is well taken care of and loved while I am out of town! She is the only one I trust with my furbaby so I appreciate all the times she gets to accommodate my furbaby and me!”
“We feel so good leaving Jack with Jennifer for any amount of time. He loves going. She keeps us posted on his day and how he is doing, and we love the pictures. Jennifer is the best!”
“Christian, Ruth and there 2 children are the nicest people and they took good care of my 2 dogs for an overnight stay. They live on a dirt road surrounded by woods and have a small farm of chickens, bunnies, and goats. They took the dogs out several times for walks in the woods near there home. They have a fenced in area in the back for the dogs as well. It just a really nice environment for my fur kids to be while I'm gone. Plus Ruth sends lots of pics and videos! We will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Shannon is a fantastic, communicative, and kind sitter! She went the extra mile with our dogs without being asked. We have a high energy young dog and a low energy senior and she worked hard to accommodate both of them so well! Her dogs got along with ours great and she was giving very frequent updates via pics and video. She is our new go-to for all our boarding/sitting needs and we absolutely recommend her to anyone else needing those services. Thank you Shannon!!”
“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”
“I was very hesitant about leaving my dog, Max, with someone he didn’t know well, but should not have been concerned. Ranee and her family pampered Maxie and let him have the run of the place. Excellent loving care, with a lot of feedback to me, which I appreciate so very much. I’ve already got Max’s next stay booked.”
“Kim was great with Barney! She was available for a last-minute boarding, treated Barney as her own dog and updated us with multiple pictures throughout the day. I would definitely recommend boarding with Kim!”
“She was s very nice and helpful to our dogs needs and was also very responsive to late messages. Texted to check on her ( dog mom ) lol. She helped with medicine. Our furbaby gets car sick. Overall a great time for her and us. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Mandy was amazing in every way! Kind and patient and sent me lots of pictures! I was afraid my Quincee would not want to leave. Thank you, Mandy! We’ll visit you every chance we get.”
“2nd time using Shannon. I have a Husky that can be a handful. She has always been happy to see him and sends me updates with pictures of him throughout his visit. She genuinely loves animals and it shows. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“Amber sent photos every day, and Buster seemed very healthy and happy when I picked him up after a month's stay. Amber clipped Buster’s nail and bathed Buster too. Thank you.”
“Pam was perfect with my little old man, Dexter. He's 18 years old so he requires special attention and she was able to provide everything he needed, plus extra love! I will definitely be using Pam again.”
“Allison is the best! She has a wonderful, gentle energy and a super comfortable well-equipped apartment. Her own pets are sweet and got along great with my cat (who can be a little stand-offish.) Allison had excellent and proactive communication and updates, and drop-off and pick up were super easy. I would definitely use her services again!”
