“Christina was a great spot for Theodore. He ate better than he ever has at a boarder and the photos Christina took of Theodore while we were away were great. She dod great administering his meds for an ear infection he came down with just before we left. I highly recommend Christina.”
“Timber clearly had a great time with Nikki!. Nikki was very communicative and understood when last minute changes happened, i got lots of photos of Timber playing with other dogs and kids. I would definitely recommend Nikki and will be using her in the future”
“A wonderful family who you can feel very comfortable with them watching your dog. They have a huge, beautiful farm and several super friendly dogs of their own. Their daughter Britta was our Milo’s best friend while there. Highly recommended!”
“Marissa is always thoughtful and sweet with my boy, Blue. When we have to leave him, he knows he gets to have a sleepover with his pal Marissa, and it’s like a mini dog vaca for him too. We have such a better time knowing that he’s in great hands!”
“Kaylee was amazing with our dog Loki! She treated him like her own—he got lots of walks, daily photo updates, and clearly felt right at home in her space. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Her and her family were so nice to my dog Hudson & I. On very short notice, she took care of my dog while I am battering a serious head cancer. I cannot say enough kind things about them, and thanks towards them. My dog was happy & well cared for when I picked him up.”
“Tonya took great care of our little dog, Key while we were away for the week. She sent us photos and updates. Our dog looked well taken care of when we picked him up. We are planning on bringing him back again when we go on vacation.”
“Craig did a great job of babysitting our dog Heiwa for two weeks. We received an update with pictures almost every day we were gone, including pictures of Heiwa romping on the beach with Craig and his dog Penny. I highly recommend him if you need a dog sitter. We will definitely use him again next time we need a sitter!”
“Charles and Christina treated our dog like a member of the family, and cared for her in a way that exceeded our expectations. Their easy going manner showed. We happily recommend them as we will use their services again.”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”
About: I had pets all through childhood and now I've got 4 dogs and 8 indoor cats plus some chickens and ducks. We also have 2 children who adore animals. My skills with pets is heating what they are saying and getting on their level, or giving them space If needed. I am on short term disability due to medical issues of the autoimmune variety so I am home all the time! I can let dogs out when needed and play with cats. I have lots of availability. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs (6 foot high wire fence), crates, kennels, and rooms that can be shut off from the house, etc if necessary.
“Eliot was a big help in watching our dog Monty for three nights in her house when our kennel reservation fell through. She provided daily updates with pics and got Monty out on plenty of walks. Monty seemed to really enjoy the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline was great with Daisy, we used her service while getting things together after a big move. She got Daisy outside and gave her all the attention and affection she needs. We were treated by a very happy dog after the stay. 10/10 recommend and will be using again!”
“Our pup, McMurphy, had an excellent time with Katie! She wasn't phased by any of the extra challenges of working with a puppy and we're really grateful to have found someone who cares so much for dogs and is so easy to work with. Thanks for helping his first stay away from us go so smoothly!”
About: There has always been a dog, or two, in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Your furry friend will be treated like family here! We go for walks a couple times a day, have shared or individual space, and have a dog door to a fenced in area throughout the day. Working from home, I am able to take the pups on walks at lunch and before and/or after work. They will have constant company throughout the day! I have a large yard to leash walk dogs, a finished/heated garage with a dog door to a fenced in area, so pups can go outside as they'd like between walks. I treat all animals as if they are my own; they are welcome on some furniture, have a warm and comfortable space, can meet dietary/medical needs, and will have multiple walks throughout the day.
“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”
