“Tanisha was absolutely amazing with our puppy! This was our first time ever being away from her, and Tanisha made the entire experience so comforting. She was warm, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. We got regular updates, and it was easy to see that our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience and would 100% trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Sherree and her family are wonderful sitters. Zuri always enjoys her stay with them and is returned to me happy and healthy. I love getting the updates and pictures while I'm away. I've been completely satisfied with Sherree and the service she provides.”



“Aimee was quick to respond when I would check on Freckles. Freckles was not stressed or anxious in Aimee's care. She allowed Freckles to roam as if she was in her own home. Freckles even turned back for one last pat before leaving her. I will use her in the future.”

Karen kept me in the loop with regular updates and even sent me adorable videos of Penny, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was clear that Penny had a blast and was in great hands. Karen’s care and communication were top-notch, and I could tell she genuinely cared for Penny like she was her own. If you’re looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter, Karen is the person for you!”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my two fur babies, Buddy and Brodey, to Charlene for an overnight stay of dogsitting, and I could not be more satisfied with her services!

Charlene kept me updated throughout the day, sending adorable photos and messages that reassured me they were having a fantastic time. Her communication was prompt and thoughtful, making it easy to relax and enjoy my day knowing that Buddy and Brodey were happy and well-cared for. One of the highlights was when she bathed them before bringing them home. They returned not only clean but also smelling wonderful—something I truly appreciated! It's clear that Charlene goes the extra mile to ensure that pets feel special and loved. In addition to her excellent care, she demonstrated genuine affection for Buddy and Brodey.

“My dog Sandy loves, loves, loves Cindy B. and her family. She gets excited as soon as we turn onto her street. It is hard to define how wonderful it is to leave "my baby" with someone AND not worry about her care for one second. Sandy gets along great with Cindy's dog - they are about the same age and size - and frequently are pictured napping side by side in the photos Cindy send me.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have at least one by my side. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including my own two—I offer more than just a place to stay; I provide a safe, loving home away from home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience with puppies, and gentle care for senior dogs. Whether it’s helping with basic training or giving extra attention to older pups who need a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family here. I currently work full time. However, I work from home 3 days a week and I am in office 2 days a week. Dogs get lots of attention. I have a large unfenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I take dogs out on leashes for walks and can crate dogs if needed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with love and attention, making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and giving medications when needed. I treat every pet like family and provide reliable, responsible care while you’re away. Monday to Sunday • Morning (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM) • Dog walks / Feeding / Morning playtime • Check messages and schedule updates from clients • Midday (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM) • Midday potty breaks or visits • Light play or cuddles • Update client with photos or notes • Afternoon (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM) • Evening walks / Exercise sessions • Feeding (if needed) • Final check-in with clients • Evening (7:30 PM – 8:30 PM) • Wind-down time with pets (calm play or relaxing) • Prepare for next day’s bookings • I pet-proof my home by removing hazards and securing dangerous items. • I keep clean, cozy spaces with fresh water, bedding, and safe toys. • I supervise pets carefully and respect their routines and needs. • I keep owners updated daily with photos and notes to build trust.
