Susan had been watching our dog, Ivy, since she was a puppy and I can’t say enough about how much love and care she has received. Susan treats Ivy like her very own and showers her with affection. Whether it’s for a day or a week’s stay, I highly recommend her!

Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!

Our puppies had a fantastic time today at daycare. They got to play with some new friends and had a great time. We loved the pictures and updates during their stay as well! We already have an overnight booked 😀

Thank you so much for watching our dog Bear. I was very pleased with how well everything went. Bear looked so happy in the pictures you sent. I also appreciate that you were able to watch her on such short notice. You were so welcoming to us and I appreciate it.

I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

My dogs absolutely love going to Kathryns and run to the door when we arrive. She is very thorough on letting me know how their day went and what they did. You can tell her and her family enjoy caring for my pups and I highly recommend her.

About: I am an experience animal care taker. I grew up on a farm with all sorts of wild and domesticated animals. I’ve worked with many families taking care of small-large pets including dogs and cats. I also worked at a dog daycare for 3+ years before perusing higher education. With my expertise I believe that your pet is in the safest hands possible. I’m currently working as a youth soccer coach and have the time for pet care in my schedule. Would love to take on the responsibility of taking care of those we love so much as it is a pleasure to be around animals. I live in an apartment with an enclosed outdoor space pets to get fresh air. I also have pet sitting camera for pet owners to check in how things are going.

Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets and owning dogs (& cats) since I was 15 . I also took dog training classes in Germany . Over the past years I’ve watched friends and coworkers puppies , family and friends cats and did take in some dogs from military friends for vacation ! Our dogs are super friendly with all other pets ! Cats as well as dogs - all sizes! ( they love smaller dogs as a matter of fact!) Currently I’m a stay at home mom with a 3 month old baby! I offer mostly going for walks for busy dog parents during the day (: If you request boarding: We prefer meeting up with the dogs once or twice before taking them in to make sure they get along. Our puppies love smaller dogs ! I have a fenced yard and a house , my puppies are both friendly with others. If needed or asked to, I can separate the dogs or keep in a crate .

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver who regularly boards and dog-sits for our neighbors and friends right here in my home. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do occasionally, it’s something I’m known for in our community. We have a friendly golden retriever, two well-adjusted cats, and kids who have grown up around animals and understand how to be gentle and respectful. Our home is often the place everyone gathers because it’s warm, welcoming, and full of life, and visiting pups quickly become part of that energy. We also have a beautiful fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves to run, sunbathe, or just stay close to people, there’s space here for all of it. I work from home, so pets enjoy consistent supervision and attention. Our days follow a steady school routine with playtime, backyard breaks, and calm evenings. Our home is warm, inviting, and full of love, with a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and gentle, friendly pets who happily welcome new furry friends.

Deborah and her daughter were amazing with my dog, Rudy! I got a lot of updates during the day, which I loved. It is such a relief knowing when your fur baby is in good hands, and you definitely get that here! They will 100% be my go-to sitters. Thank you Deborah!!
