“Do yourself a favor and book with May and Erich! My husband and I were visiting from out of state for a wedding and needed someone to watch our dog for a few days. We felt so comfortable leaving our girl in their care. Erich and May were accommodating, warm, and welcoming and truly so excited to watch our dog! They have a lovely home with a yard and May sent me plenty of updates throughout the entire stay which was much appreciated :) our only complaint is that we don’t live close enough to utilize their services regularly! Thank you again both of you!”

“Dan & Denise were great with my dog, Fred. I could see that he was happy for the entire weekend at their house. It really was like his own vacation! They were nice enough to send me pictures and updates of my dog while I was away which definitely alleviated any concerns I had. Fred had a great time in a safe environment with other friendly dogs!

About: I absolutely love dogs! My family dog passed away when she was still a puppy, a beautiful husky named Belle. In her honor I make sure to give all the love and protection to dogs that little me couldn’t provide. I promise you, your fur babies will be so loved, cared for and protected while they are with me! I am an elementary school lunch aide during the school year, so I am only out at least three hours a weekday. I don’t have this job during the summer so my schedule is more flexible! I have a yard perfect for your fur baby to run around in, and the elementary school I work at is right down the street so we can get some great walks in and play on the field (only if you’re okay with it of course)! I will need a list of what you’d prefer for your fur baby and for you to bring their essentials for food, play, and sleep. I want to disrupt their schedule as little as possible so just tell me what I need to do and your wish is my command! The more details the better!

“Jamie was great! We left our 9 month old puppy with her for 10 days and she took really good care of him. She sent us lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing ok. Our puppy also got along great with her dog. Overall very happy with the care she provided. We will definitely book her again.”


“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”


“I was a nervous “new” pup mom to dog sitting with Vanessa, and must say her and her family were outstanding, and of course their dog Luna! All the pictures and videos showed my Dawson a very happy dog and fit right in. I definitely recommend her!!”



“We are so grateful to Catherine for the loving care she took of our Georgia. It was the first time we left her since we adopted her and we could not have asked for a better experience. The daily pictures and comments were very appreciated. Thank you Catherine. I know that Georgia enjoyed herself. ”



“My dog Bailey had a wonderful time visiting with Joanne and her dog Eddie while we traveled. They drop off and pick up were easy to arrange and we received daily pictures and updates. While we missed Bailey we were happy to see that she seemed comfortable and we'll cared for. I certainly would use Joanne again.”


“Thomas and Lauren are the Best!! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them after the initial meet and greet, and our instincts were spot on. They treated our Stormy as one of their family, even allowing him to sleep in their bed. They were very communicative and sent pictures of our boy enjoying their home and his walks. They are truly dog people and we can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of our boy. Would definitely book with them again!!”


“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!”



“We couldn't be happier with having our dog, Chance, stay with Gabby. She sent me daily updates of how he was doing and was really understanding and accommodating to his needs and his anxiety/timidness during the first few days of his stay. I could tell by the pictures that he defintiely enjoyed his time there. We would love to keep using Gabby for any future trips we go on. We are more than pleased with her!”
