“We had a wonderful experience with Cyndi! I received pics/updates in morning and evenings and Brutus was just as spoiled at her house as he is ours! We would definitely have him stay with her again! We had zero worries as we knew he was in excellent care!”
“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”

I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”

About: I have experience with my own family dog. She is about 9 years old now, we’ve had her ever since she was a puppy. She is an elkhound. When she was a puppy she was very energetic so I am familiar with lots of energy !:). I have also taken care of family friends dogs and their houses so I have some experience with that as well. I am in school so I am busy Monday-Friday. I have some gaps in-between my days where I can walk some dogs or feed them or both. As well as keep them company for a little if needed. I live in an apartment, so if I am going to take overnight sits they will have to be small dogs that are potty trained. I have a pretty spacious room and live next to a small park so I would be able to take them out pretty easily. They will have space for their beds or water/feeding bowls.
