We had a meet and greet first. Catherine has a large yard for running and playing. Catherine sent us pictures and videos throughout Macy's stay with her. She was honest about how Macy was doing daily. This certainly reeassured me that Macy was doing well. We will be using Cathetine again!”
“Alex was a great sitter for our pup. This was our second time leaving him elsewhere I can 100% say I’d rather leave him with Alex than the doggy hotels! He gave me updates everyday and had a big yard to keep him active and entertained. Had a pup of his own so my dog had a friend to play with too. 10/10 recommend!”

Donna was accommodating at our last minute request we were pleased with knowing our pup was in good hands. We will most definitely be using her again in the near future.”
“We have used John for Doggy Daycare and Dog Boarding and we could not be happier with his care for our Penny. When we adopted her she was so shy and we've been working to bring her out of her shell so we were worried when we first left her but John was so good at making us feel comfortable and allowing Penny the space to get comfortable with him. We got updated pictures, he got her to eat right on the spot (which has been a struggle) and he even had Penny out in the yard and starting to play with his dog, LaVerne. Whenever we pull up in front of John's house now, Penny's tail starts to wag and she gets so excited to see him! It's so comforting to know you are leaving your dog with someone who really cares and takes care of your animals. We are so lucky that we met John and we know Penny will have many more adventures with him! We can't recommend him enough. For this worry wort Mama over here - he did everything to help ease my anxiety over leaving her anywhere. If you want to leave your dog with someone you can trust, please consider booking with John! You will not be disappointed!”
“Sandy is absolutely wonderful! I was so impressed with her knowledge of dogs and how perceptive she was with our Daisy girl. So much so, we have already booked her for another trip to watch our pup. I would highly recommend her. It is very clear she is an animal lover and Daisy was immediately comfortable with her. I was grateful that she set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure we would all be a good fit. So thankful to have found Sandy and she will absolutely be our go-to dog sitter from now on!”
“Christian is a true animal lover and made Benji feel right at home! He was attentive and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay. Glad to have found a trustworthy sitter in the area!”
“Can’t thank Joanne enough !! My pup had a great time staying with her while i was away. She sent Updates and pictures everyday and helped me feel better and less guilty about leaving my guy for a few days. I’ll forever use her while booking vacations, couldn’t ask for a better more reliable sitter. Thank you again from me and Camo :)))”
“Eliana was so sweet and great with Lexi. She sent a lot of pictures for updates. I can tell my dog was well taken care of. She has a lovely home and a great back yard.”
“Alev is an exceptional petsitter! She took amazing care of our dog, Coco, who needed special attention due to her medication and limited mobility. Alev handled everything with such care and professionalism, making sure Coco was comfortable and well-cared for. She even went above and beyond by bringing thoughtful gifts for Coco. We couldn't be happier with the care Alev provided. Highly recommended!”
“Hayley is an amazing sitter. The few days she watched the boys, she kept us updated with photos and videos and they were very happy, I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again. Thank you Hayley!!”
About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!

Lisa has done an excellent job caring for my dog, making sure to take her on regular walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels completely comfortable! She is also excellent about sending frequent pupdates, with lots of pictures, so I know my dog is happy and well taken care of. She’s also done an excellent job with keeping up with my dog’s training, and has even taught her new tricks!”
