“Cheyenne took great care of our Bruce! He's a Great Dane puppy, around 1 yr (we rescued him), so I was nervous leaving him for the first time. But, she kept us updated daily with photos and how he was doing. I thought his size may cause issues, being a puppy, yet larger than a full grown dog, but she took wonderful care of him and he was TIRED when we got him home! I would highly recommend her!!”
“Rachel and Ivan were incredible hosts and took such good care of our dog. They were very flexible when our travel plans got delayed and sent us updates while we were gone. Will definitely have our pup stay with them again!”
About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!

“Kathryn was great to work with. Our dog, Finn, was thoroughly spoiled the entire week with so many walks and outside fun. She kept us updated with photos and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pickup. We will definitely be using Kathryn again when we have to travel in the future!”
“If I could gave a hundred stars to Hannah, I would! Hannah kept us updated with pictures and texts during Gus's stay - and it was clear how much fun our little guy was having! Gus came home blissfully worn out from playtimes and nature walks. We will absolutely having Hannah "babysit" whenever we can and cannot recommend her enough.

Despite Daisy’s wild energy, Amanda exceeded our expectations in the care she gave for her. I feel comfortable leaving Daisy at Amanda’s anytime we need a dog sitter. 10/10, I highly recommend her!”
“Janae was a dream dogsitter! She treated our pup with so much love, and showered her with attention for the three days that she watched her. She had no problem following our instructions and giving our dog her medication as well. We have a nervous dog and Janae had no problem getting her to warm up very quickly. We would absolutely use her again!”

“Jordan is very friendly and super responsive to messages; her dogs are adorable, too. She treated our pup as her own. She was also super accommodating as our dog needs medication four times a day and has crazy feeding times due to my husband's work schedule, and she had no problem with that. She was also willing to keep our dog even though she has high anxiety, and Daisy appeared to be very calm and relaxed in the photos Jordan sent. The fenced in yard is also reassuring. I highly recommend Jordan!”
“Deb was a 10/10 sitter for our pup! She is everything you would want in someone who is caring for your animal. She takes them in as if they are her own. Our minds were at ease for our dog’s entire stay - she was so caring and sent picture updates to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely be using Deb again in the future!”
