“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”
“This was our second time using Bridget. And from the moment we pulled into her driveway, we knew it was going to be good. Our dog knew where she was, and was so excited to see her friends, that she was not the least bit upset about us leaving her there. I really think our dog views them as her second family.”
“Alex did a very good job of giving me updates during my dog's stay. And the videos and pictures she sent showed my dog was having a good time. And my dog must have, she's been doing nothing but sleeping since we got home. Thanks Alex!”
“Paige was amazing!! Highly recommended. She was able to fit Khaleesi in on such short notice and didn't make a fuss when I ended up being late picking her up (Sorry about that!). Thank you Paige!”
“Omg, Angelo is the absolute best! He takes care of each doggy like their his own! And he always takes the cutest pics and videos to let you know how your fur baby is doing. He’s definitely our permanent new dog sitter!!!!!!❤️”
“Our dog had a great time with Sydney. She took very good care of him and communicated with pictures and text messages each day. One of the hardest things about taking a trip is leaving our dog behind. We are so glad that we met Sydney and are already planning our dog’s next stay with her.”
“Louie had so much fun with Tami and her dogs Dolly and Bear! Tami has a wonderful backyard that the dogs got to play around in. Throughout our trip we knew Tami was taking great care of him sending lots of pics and updates! We know Louie can be challenging (he’s a very hyper puppy) but luckily he had Bear to play with. We highly recommend Tami and would definitely book with her again!”
“Danielle was amazing. She communicated with us everyday and sent pictures. Our dog is very shy but I could tell in the pictures how comfortable she was with Danielle. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Anna was great! She sent us many pictures and videos! She let my dog swim in her baby pool. On a hot day she bought my dog a pup cup ice cream! By watching the videos I could definitely tell my dog was having a great time! Would definitely use Anna again to watch my dog!”
About: I’m a fur dad to 2 dogs, a cat and a chinchilla. I also come from a family with background on numerous other small animals, reptiles, etc. I can help with any size, shape, or form of pets that’s needed. I’m a school bus driver during the school year. I can walk or do drop in visits before school or after. I can also do afternoons between my routes. In the summer I’d have even more availability. I have three daughter’s and two big dogs. I fully understand attention and care needed to do the job right. I will follow whatever procedures needed for you pet’s special needs.
“Rebekah is absolutely incredible! She cared for my dog as if he was her own. I was very nervous to leave my dog with a sitter, as he has only been out of our house a few times in his life. She instantly made me feel better by sending me daily updates and pictures. You can tell she truly loves animals! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Shannon was AWESOME with Murph. She took the time to send pictures and updates. Most importantly she kept up on his meds and genuinely cares. Murph loved hanging out with her and with us not having to worry, he will be returning soon!”
“Jeff’s house is well appointed for your fur babies. My babies enjoyed the freedom of the fenced in yard, and found their own places in his home. Jeff had a water bowl out for them and I thought that was neat. He was very observant of their time outside in the heat. Jeff goes over and above and keeps in great contact. He really “gets” our dog’s personality traits. No problems, no worries, just great service. Go with the best. Thanks, Jeff.”
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own, they will be spoiled! I adore all animals and look forward to meeting yours. My day job is taking care of other peoples horses and training them. I understand the importance of trusting the person who takes care of your four legged family members! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, dog walked and done cat visits since I was young. Boarders must get along with cats (I have one, he’s friendly to everyone) I understand the value of giving animals exercise, consistency, love and attention. I will absolutely follow your guidelines with your pet, after all, you know them best! I’ve had extensive experience giving medications, administering SQ fluids, treating wounds, etc. I’ve taken care of puppies during potty training, as well as senior animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 3 years. This consists of feeding, walking, and overall just playing with dogs, cats, guinea pigs. I also have experience feeding dogs meds as needed. I currently do not work and am trying to save up for college and my vacation trip! So my schedule is clear for anyone who needs me. I care for pets like they are my own. I love animals so I treat them very nicely and with respect. I have never had an animal that I didn’t get along with.
“Rachel was great with Kimble. He’s a big dog (160 lb English mastiff) and she took great care of him. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing that he was getting great care and was getting loved the way we would. We definitely will be using her again.”
“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”

She is sweet and caring with all pets. She gives him play, snuggles, and love. He is so happy to see her when she comes over. Mouse is a very timid dog and scared of his own shadow and he loves Sarah. She feels like the Animal whisperer. She just has a way with animals. She also stays in my home and is very respectful of my space. I never come home to a mess.”
