“We couldn’t have been happier with Eloise! She sent a lot of pictures and updated me on how our puppy was doing. I could tell he felt comfortable in the pictures. We can’t wait to use her again!!”


“After our first experience with Tammy, we will definitely book with her again. She is a 'dog person' and loves them all. I appreciate her level of knowledge concerning dog care and feel confident about leaving my little one with her. Thank you”



“Vanessa was extremely caring with our puppy's first stay away from home. She provided us with lots of pictures and him with lots of belly rubs! I will use Vanessa again!”



“Gizmo had a great time. I received a lot of pictures and she looked like she was smiling. Dawn is very nice and treated my dog great. I was a little leery at first, but I'm so glad I found dawn. I will recommend her and if needed I will absolutely use her again.”



“Will took such good care of my dog, Charlie. He took him for a walk everyday besides letting him run around his yard to play with his dogs. He also sent me multiple pictures everyday which really helps put your mind at ease especially if you're not someone that boards their dog often. Will is a great person to trust your dog with!”


“Renae was great with Billy! We met up before the stay to introduce the dogs and everyone was very friendly. She was also very flexible, offering to extend the stay when I was concerned my flights were going to be impacted by weather.”

About: Being an animal lover, especially dogs, has always made it easy for me to bond with other peoples animals. I have helped train puppies to walk nicely on their lead, to helping my seniors onto the couch or bed when they can no longer jump. I take them to my daughters fenced in yards for those pups who need to run. I would love to meet yours fur baby! I am a Special education teacher, so my hours away from home are not long. Weekends I’m home all day. Of course I have extended days off for government holidays as well. Walking is a part of my daily routine, so making sure your pet has exercise is not a problem. I do have an elderly yorkie, who totally minds her own business, and interacts well with other dogs. Every dog I have had in my home, always makes themselves comfortable! I love to kiss cuddle and love animals, that is of course if that’s what they like. Having a loving, safe and fun place to leave your pet makes leaving so much easier.

About: I've been the family pet sitter for years. I am the one everyone calls to watch, walk, or feed the fur babies when it is needed. I absolutely love it!! I am currently a stay at home dog mom looking to make new fur friends for me and my dogs. I enjoy going on walks and love the company of a dog or two while walking. I have a fenced in yard, two pups to keep your fur babies company during the day and to play and run around the yard with. I have a big house and so many dog beds and toys.

“My dog, Sara Lee, stayed for 4 nights and when I picked her up she was very happy. Sara just loved being there. Kasha really knew what to do with my dog to make her feel comfortable and at home especially since my dog is timid. I would highly recommend Kasha to care for my dog.”


“My babies are absolutely spoiled and we were very hesitant to leave them with a stranger. Denise treated them as her own, taking them out often and giving them the many many cuddles they need for daily survival. I was surprised at how well behaved her young pitbull was with my little ones, too. One of my dogs was having an issue with his coat and she cooked him fresh sweet potato and eggs and he came back looking even better! She has so many toys and blankets and even let them come home with their favorites! My extremely anxious girl loved her from minute one! She never lets people touch her but in all of the photos Denise sent there my dog was, right by her side!! She gave them bandanas to match their personalities and im so glad my pups had a vacation of their own while we were away! Would definitely recommend her!!”


“La Toya was great with our pup! She sent daily videos and pictures. She was prompt in responding to our daily messages. We really appreciate her care for our girl.”


“Katherine is so wonderful. She was so quick to respond, very flexible in arranging not one but two meet and greets to make sure dewy and I were comfortable. She is detail oriented and took such great care of my pup. My pup fell in love with her sweet son too and her dog Nemo. I always get anxious leaving my dog but I felt so much more at ease knowing he was well cared for.”


“Lori was great! I felt like I was leaving my fur babies with family. I was very comfortable with her (and family) taking care of my dogs. She sent pics and videos regularly. She was very good about snuggles when they needed them. She wasn't afraid of some of their "quirks" and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. Lori went above and beyond to make everyone enjoy the week. Thank you! I would definitely book with her again.”


“Benny and Ruby were so well taken care of! I did not worry about them for a second while in their care. I especially loved the updates with pictures. Excellent communication from our first visit to pick-up. Thank you!!”


“Kristen was great at taking care of our pup while we were traveling. Kristen is very thorough and took time to understand the needs of our dog. She was great at communicating and sending updates!”


“Ann was phenomenal! She treated my dog as if he was one of her own. She was very thorough with everything to make sure my dog was as comfortable away from me as possible. We had our meet and greet at her house then were able to go through with the sitting! Her three dogs were lovely as well and played great with mine. Throughout the entire stay Ann kept me updated with many pictures & videos. My dog was in great hands and made me feel okay leaving him for the night. I would highly recommend using Ann. I look forward to rebooking with her.”


“Thank you Kimberly for taking care of Ripley! We really enjoyed the pictures and the updates on Ripley! Also, we really appreciated you making sure Ripley ate something while staying with you! You made our trip away enjoyable knowing Ripley was taken care of! We would definitely book with you again!!!!😊”
