Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”


“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

“Ginger was wonderful with my dog!! So attentive to my needs and his. Communication was exceptional and prompt the whole time she had the dog. Great fenced yard for running and playing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”


“Jon did a great job with my large and sometimes unruly dog. Kaya came back from a four day stay with Jon as relaxed and as happy as ever. Photo updates of them on their walks was reassuring that she was getting quality care. Would definitely use Jon again for any upcoming boarding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

“Mikalyn and crew did a great job for us....they were warm and welcoming and our two girls seemed to enjoy their stay with them. This was almost a last minute booking and they went above and beyone to assist us. We will be using them again in the future when our needs arise for great sitters for our fur kids. Dominic and Ana”


“Summer was absolutely amazing with our little girl, Bella, who is it puppy. Also, she just lost her brother, and was very commanding from losing a booking of two dogs down to one dog. On top of that, we had to readjust our schedule, and again was very accommodating to our circumstances! Hands-down for this dog sitter who went above, and beyond taking care of our little girl! I highly recommend her!!”
