“Huck loves his stays with Tracy and we are grateful that she takes such great care of our boy. This was the second time he has stayed with her and he will be visiting again soon :) Thank you, Tracy!”
“Geoffrey went above and beyond to keep us updated while we were away. He's extremely communicative and took great care of our dog, Archie. We know Archie had a great time at Geoffrey’s house and we would definitely recommend Geoffrey’s services to anyone in need!”
“Thomas was the perfect sitter for Beauty. She does best with someone who will let her sleep outside or in the garage and just be around. She seemed so happy and got to go on some little local trips. Thomas sent pictures daily with updates which was perfect for me.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur babies with anyone beside family and I was nervous. But Morghan was great! She sent me pictures during their stay and kept me updated. My dogs loved playing with her 2 dogs and when I arrived to pick them up they just seemed so happy 🥰 when I got home they passed right out. They had a wonderful playful weekend and I’m super grateful.”
“This is our second time using Kara and as per usual, our dog, Oliver, came home happy and healthy. Kara is a kind, compassionate pet lover that treats her guest animals like her own animals. She is amazing! We are very happy with her services.”
About: I am reliable, responsible, and I of course love dogs! My family feels lucky to be the welcoming home that our friends and family put their trust in when they need a place for their dogs to stay while they're on vacation! I have fostered 20+ dogs (including puppies and adult dogs) since 2020 and I have 2 small dogs of my own. Furry visitors in my home typically join the pack quickly and feel right at home. I have a fenced in back yard. I work from home so the pups at my house like to snuggle up next to my desk. I am able to take breaks frequently for doggie potty breaks. I like to bring the dogs for walks around the block in the morning and evening. I have a fenced in yard and two small, friendly dogs for your dog to play with. I'd love to hear what your dog's normal routine looks like so that I can make them feel as comfortable as possible in my home.
“We are very pleased that our dog was in caring hands. We regularly received photos and updates about her well-being. This was our first experience being apart from our pet, and we understand that it was unusual for her and possibly accompanied by some difficulties. But the team managed everything and showed great care. At the end of her stay, our dog even received some lovely gifts. We are very grateful for this and will definitely turn here again next time. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have cared for my friends and families pets for over 6 years now and I've never had a bad experience. I love the experience of watching pets. I work full time and my partner works part-time. Between the both of us we have more than enough time to watch over some beautiful babies. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I treat every pet as if they were my own no matter the circumstances.
“Can't have enough stars! She has now cared for my dogs twice and I will be bringing them here again. Fantastic, she communicates and keeps me updated on my pups every day, even sending photos. I don't have to worry when I leave my dogs with her.”
“This is the first time I’ve left my dog with a stranger. So I was pretty nervous! Upon meeting averi in person, I immediately relaxed and knew Piper was in good hands!! Bonus, …Piper loved the roommate too… so she got extra lovins while we were away! Averi sent me several pupdates including pics and videos!! She even put a raincoat on her when they went out in the rain!!🤣♥️ I’d use Averi again if I needed a 🐾🐾 sitter!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for a long time. It started when I was young, probably around the age of 10, but of course I couldn't drive, so my mom had to help out. I have always had a love for animals, and I always will. I am currently a college student studying childhood education and psychology, along with playing soccer. That may sound like I have a pretty busy schedule, but since I live at home, it is not bad at all. I am also a substitute teacher, which allows me to choose when I work based on how my schedule looks for that given week. Pet safety is of the utmost importance to me. Families are relying on me to care for their beloved animals while away for a day or a few days. Playing outside or relaxing inside are all things I love to do, based on the dog's needs. Walks are always fun, too!
“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”

Laura W.
“Laura is amazing—the only person I truly trust to care for my pups! My dogs are my babies, and I’m usually very picky about who watches them. But when they’re with Laura, I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. She treats them like her own, always going above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and that they’re having a great time. She’s also deeply involved in the dog rescue and fostering community and genuinely has a heart of gold. She’s helped so many dogs find their forever homes and supports them every step of the way. Her two dogs are super friendly, too, and they get along great with my 4-year-old and 7-year-old shih tzus, even though both my pups have very different energy levels!”
