Animals have always had a special place in my ❤️ & I would love to help you with yours! I have never met a dog who didn’t melt my heart. Please contact me if I can be of assistance to you! I am available most days. Please contact me if you are looking for a dog walker. Have a great day! Thanks so much! 🐶🐶❤️🐶🐶
“I had such a great experience with Dejuan! He made me feel comfortable from the beginning by allowing me to come over for a meet-and-greet before Kane’s stay. Throughout his time with Kane, he consistently sent pictures, videos, and updates without me even having to ask. I really appreciated his communication and attention to detail. Kane came home happy and well taken care of, which means everything to me! I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby!”
“Simply Amazing! Elandra took great care of my buddy Bandit while I was away on my cruise. This is was the first time I've used a boarder and she really eased my anxiety with consistent updates and wonderful care. I will definitely tell anyone who will listen. GO TO ELANDRA!!!”
“Riya is a phenomenal sitter, she has taken great care of my dog and is a wonderful communicator. I can travel stress free knowing my dog is in good hands.”
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Malik is wonderful! Very calm demeanor. I have an anxious dog who is usually a little hesitant to go with other people and he walked right into Malik’s place. It was great to see how comfortable he was with him! Highly recommend Malik!”
“Eric and Polly are fantastic! They are so caring and Colby loves spending time there! We can go on vacation knowing that he feels at home and that he is in a safe and loving environment.”
“Extremely grateful to Tori! I needed someone to take care of my Bailey at the last minute due to an emergency, and she was available right away. She took amazing care of my baby and sent me lots of pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Tori is awesome! I 100% recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Julie is amazing! From start to finish, she was quick to respond, provided many updates, photos and videos, and was so friendly, kind and professional. She and her family had a ton of patience for my boston terrier Lily, who is obsessed with playing tug of war and fetch. I never once worried about Lily. Julie was also very accommodating for my last minute request for a sitter, and I really appreciated that!! Don't hesitate to book her services! I definitely will again!”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Kathleen and Nathan took excellent care of our dog. We were passing through the area on our way home from the east coast and needed a place for Dilly to get some exercise and play before we continued our trip. Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.”
“Marcus was great with Muffin. I got periodic updates with pictures which was comforting. This was Muffin’s first time at Marcus’ and I have already rebooked. Thanks Marcus.”
“Our Goldendoodle Riley just completed a week in Kris' home. I was nervous about leaving our girl in a kennel for a week and this seemed like a good alternative. Riley had a wonderful time! I was at ease knowing she was in a home that is so pet friendly! Kris even went out of her way to buy a gravy to help Riley eat. I received pictures and communications regularly about her progress integrating into the pack, her eating and sleeping. I think after having so many playmates all week, she's sad to be home; it was like doggy camp for the week. We'd use Kris again in a New York minute!”
“The best sitters my little big boy has had by far!!!! They took such good care of baby boy. They administered his meds and showered him with love. He came back happy, healthy. and his BEST self. I can’t thank them enough. See you soon”
“I had a great experience boarding my dog (Bowser). Kristen was friendly, caring, and professional, and it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. I felt comfortable knowing Bowser was in good hands while I was away. Bowser was well cared for, happy, and healthy when I picked him up. Her home was clean and well maintained. Kristen sent me daily updates and pics. I can tell she took the time to make sure Bowser was comfortable and received the attention he needed. I truly appreciate the peace of mind Kristen gave me while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring, reliable and affordable place to board their furry family member. We will definitely be back! 🐾❤️”

If I could give Katlyn 10 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my Izzi behind while traveling for work isn’t easy, but Katlyn gave me something truly priceless, peace of mind. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Izzi was in such loving, capable hands. It’s one thing to have someone watch your dog, but it’s something entirely different to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if she were their own. That’s the kind of care Katlyn provides. I never had to worry, and that feeling alone meant the world to me. When someone is entrusted with a little piece of your heart, you hope they’ll understand just how much that responsibility means. Katlyn absolutely does. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and Izzi and I are so lucky to have found her!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
