“Sylvia was amazing! She treated Penny as if she were her own dog. We received many videos and pictures throughout our week away. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Daisy is always so upbeat when she comes home. I want my old girl to be happy when we are gone, and she seems to flourish under Sydney's care.”
“Tami hosted our pup Kaiya during a busy week where we had 2 family weddings happening and needed our dog to be safely cared for so we humans could tend to ALL the other activities. Tami was responsive, flexible, and Kaiya had a wonderful time running in the large yard and playing with new friends. I appreciated the photo updates and knew our pet was in good hands so that I could focus on the other things going on. Kaiya is a high-energy dog and even still she came home happy and worn out. Couldn't ask for more - thank you! I highly recommend Tami!”
“Taylor and Marco took great care of Louie while I was away! They sent me photos and updates, and I could see he felt completely at home snuggled up next to them. I won’t hesitate to book with them again whenever I can!”
“Iris is such a dog lover! This time my Girly only stayed for 2 days, but she was wonderfully taken care of and got to socialized with other dogs. Iris is very open to last minute changes and she is very responsive. Did I say that SHE LOVES DOGS!!!”

About: My love for animals goes along way. My family has always brought rescues to me since I was a teenager. I'd care for them, bathe, love , train them, and if I could, I'd give them sanctuary. Due to ongoing home improvement projects, my weekly schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate to pet care needs of mine and others. I have a pet room in the works. Where i have dog food and clothing located. Along with treats and any medical pet needs. I have a fenced in back yard that gives my two pets freedom to roam.
“Magda was wonderful! She took excellent care of our pup and sent regular updates and pictures. We look forward to having Addie stay with her again!”
“Ellie is just so sweet and attentive! Our dogs very much enjoyed themselves with her. Ellie communicated with us every day with updates and photos!”
“Savanna was wonderful! This was the first time we were leaving our 2 pups with a sitter and we were not sure what to expect. Savanna was great at letting us know how they were doing and sent pics of them. They were happy to see us when we returned but not stressed out so I know they had a great time; especially playing with Savanna’s own pup. We would definitely have our dogs stay with Savanna again during our next vacation. Thanks again for making our vacation stress free.”
“Patricia was wonderful with our dog! She was a lifesaver when our friend bailed on dog-sitting at the last minute. Maury seemed to love her and she even washed him when he got messy. Would absolutely recommend - and will use her again!”
“Tammy really helped out in a pinch and treated our Simba like a member of the family. I knew he was well cared for during our time away and I appreciated the pictures of him playing with his furry friends.”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“Another fantastic stay for our pup! Monique & River are so caring when it comes to making sure all our pups needs are taken care of during her stay! Great communication throughout our pups stay and she comes home happy , but also misses the PACK who keeps her busy! Thank you again for all your love you provide and for the adorable treat left in her possessions! See you soon!”
“We left our 6 month old puppy with Vanessa and she did a fantastic job taking care of him. She did a meet a greet before our first trip so we could feel comfortable. She was very responsive to messages and sent picture updates while we were gone. We will book with Vanessa for our next trip.”
“Grace was so wonderful and absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so flexible when I wanted to set up a meet and greet with her dog. She sent regular updates over our stay, pictures, and videos. Arya had so much fun playing with Bella and being able to relax afterward. I felt that my dog was safe and Grace was easily contactable whenever I messaged her. I will definitely be reaching out to Grace again whenever I need a sitter for my dog and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Will does an amazing job with my hyperactive 1year old German shepherd! Takes him on many walks and sends pictures throughout the stay. Love leaving Ace in great hands! Thank you, will!”
