“Brandi is awesome. Stayed at our house and took great care of our three dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Took time to come to our house and meet us and the dogs before booking. Spent a lot of time with our dogs throughout the stay. Sent frequent photos and updates and responded promptly to our communications. We came home to a clean home and three happy tired dogs. Brandi also left us a very nice card and two beautiful drawings of our dogs. She really went above and beyond. We will definitely reach out to her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”


“Exceptional Pet Sitter. Tonya was exceptional in her communication and sending pictures daily of our pups. Tonya was punctual in her arrival for her pet sitting and rearranged her departure to accomodate our late afternoon arrival from our holiday break to ensure the energetic pups had one last potty break before our return. Not only did she take care of our pups she left the house spoltess as well. Thanks so much Tonya. We appreciate you taking care of Waddy and Marsh. They had a great time with you.”


“Jenny was truly wonderful and made our first time leaving our pups so much easier and stress free! I was very nervous leaving our boys as they have separation anxiety, but they absolutely loved Jenny and she sent me pics daily showing them playing and snuggling with her! She made sure they were walked daily, got all their needed medicine, and had lots of love while we were gone. I appreciate her keeping us updated and for ensuring our home was nice and clean before we got back! 12/10 would recommend Jenny!!!”


“Lauren was great! Not only she took care of my pup but she also took care of my place as if it was her own. I got constant updates on how my dog was doing and I can tell she enjoyed her time. Definitely recommend!”


“If you need a dog sitter RUN to hire James!! He’s a 20 out of 10!!!!! We had a horrible experience with a previous dog sitter and had to fire her immediately. We found James and he jumped in to help us in an emergency timeframe. He is unbelievable in caring for dogs and in communicating with humans. He sends photos, provides text updates, and really takes care of the dogs with playtime, walk time, and feeding. He followed my instructions 100% and knew I was nervous so was extremely patient and understanding. I cannot recommend him enough. I guarantee you’ll be extremely happy and so will your pups. My two couldn’t wait for him to show up.”


“Leslie took care of our three dogs during a vacation that was longer than we normally take. She took great care of our three dogs and our house. I could tell from our communication that she really got to know our dogs and that she truly cares for them. She uses good judgment and I feel confident that she can handle anything that comes up in our absence. I will definitely use her again and recommend her highly! Thanks, Leslie!!”


About: Experienced sitter & proud dog mom to a rescue pup—caring for your furry best friend like my own. From walks to snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I work from home so I am able to work at your place while also ensuring your furry friend gets all the love and attention they need. I always aim to walk 5 miles minimum a day, so we will always be taking walks or park trips during the day!

I will adjust to the schedule they are used to with you so that nothing feels out of the norm for them!

About: 🌈🐾 Biscuit crossed the rainbow bridge on 7/29/25. I am taking some time to grieve and not accepting new pet clients at this time. If you are a returning client - please reach out! I am still doing those bookings. I have blocked my calendar, but please reach out if there are dates you are interested in. When I was 12, I put a PowerPoint presentation together to convince my parents I needed a dog - and for that I had my childhood dog Biscuit, who lived to be 18! We have watched our friends' goldendoodle puppy at 3 months (the energy!), 4 year old golden retriever for a month (more energy!), and 2 year old Beagle - one time all at once. From any age and size, my husband and I are huge dog lovers. We recently moved to the area and both work from home so we have all the time to give the love and care your pets need! We are accustomed to all dog needs from medications, walks, or mental stimulation! We have a large sun-facing fenced in yard. No steps required for your pups creating a safer environment. If the weather is nice, we keep our back door open so the dogs can go in and out as they please. I work right next to the door to keep an eye on them. For our dog Biscuit we were feeding her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made her a custom meal that fit her diet. She also required 3 pills a day. My husband and I understand dog care and how important it is to follow the owners instructions - you know your dog best from energy levels, stomach concerns, or potty routines! We would often take breaks from work with our dog to hold her and give her the love she wants.

“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough. First of all she is a very pleasant person, very thorough and caring. My dog is a little unsure of people but he was very comfortable with Stephanie. He was very content when we came home. Communication was excellent and the house was in perfect order. I just can't say enough good things about Stephanie. I won't hesitate to book her anytime in the future and know our dog will be happy too.”


“Ellen was very communicative! She arrived on time and sent updates throughout the weekend. I really appreciated how detailed she was and gave special attention to our older dog and our high energy pup. Pictures gave me more piece of mind. I would definitely recommend her and hope she can come back and stay with the pups another time!”
