“Johanna is absolutely amazing. She cared for my 12 year old Boston Terrier with such care and thoughtfulness. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Thank you Jillian and Andrew for taking care of our 8 month old puppy overnight! It was his first time sleeping out of our apartment, and we are happy that you were so flexible and caring. We loved receiving pictures of him while we were gone!”
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“Tuukka had an unreal time with Kristie, Mark, and family. I felt so comfortable leaving Tuukka with them for our wedding/honeymoon that I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us!! Kristie and Mark really treated him as a part of their family, and I know, if I ever need someone to watch him again, I can trust Kristie and Mark to welcome him with open arms (and Tuukka to run right into them)!!! Thank you thank you thank you for all the photos and videos and always being available for more <3 We cannot thank you enough for taking the best care of our pup!!”

It was a wonderful experience, and we felt completely at ease. We will definitely book with her again, with great pleasure and no hesitation.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had two dogs, a Shih Tzu and a Staffordshire Terrier, plus a hedgehog, and currently have two chinchillas. So I’ve dealt with everything from hyper to shy to high maintenance. I get what it takes to care for different types of pets and actually enjoy doing it. Dogs have always been a constant in my life. I’m good at reading them, keeping them calm, and making sure they’re not just fed but actually happy. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just hanging out, I treat your pets like they’re mine. Giving you care you can count on. Pet care fits into my day like anything else; it's just part of my routine. I have two chinchillas, so every day I’m making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and that their space is clean and comfortable. I check in on them throughout the day and give them the attention they need, whether letting them out for some time to explore or just keeping things calm. Even when I’m busy, I always make time to care for them, and it's just something I’m used to and actually enjoy doing Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m taking care of them at your place, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the care they need. I stick strictly to whatever you tell me about feeding times, walk schedules, and routines because consistency is important, especially for animals. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure everything’s secure, and pay close attention to how they’re doing. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.
“Michele is very responsive and also excellent with keeping us updated on how our 2 furry ones were doing. So glad we found her and our furry ones grew fond of her. We definitely recommend her to others and we will always contact her for our future stays.”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”

Dawn was great! It was our first time having our pup boarded and she couldn’t have been in better hands than with Dawn. Her yard and toy collection is every dog’s dream. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures which was so nice to have. Totally recommend!
Hao and his lovely family were amazing with our Ripley. He sent pictures and videos throughout her stay so that we can receive updates on how our baby girl was doing. We could tell that she was very well taken care of and he treated her like she was his own. We would highly recommend Hao if you need someone who you can trust with your fur baby. We were very appreciative of his care and how open and communicative he was with us. Hao was also very accommodating! 5 stars all the way!!
We haven’t had much luck with Cody, our Cockapoo and new sitters since we moved - until we found Jill. This was the first time that Cody did not want to leave and ran back to Jill’s place when we arrived to pick him up. He stayed with Jill for a week, and we know he was very happy there, got plenty of walks, hugs and fresh water:). We were receiving daily updates and pics while Cody was at Jill’s. Jill is great, very responsive and caring - which Cody felt right away. She also lives in a dog friendly complex where Cody had access to the dog park, and plenty of walking paths. My wife and I are very happy with this experience and will be using Jill for future stays and boarding going forward.
Becky was incredible with our dog, Mumford. He received VIP treatment the entire weekend and loved spending time with Becky and her whole family. Not only was Mumford well cared for but we could tell he had fun - and we didn’t have to worry about his anxiety that often occurs when we are away. I highly recommend her!
Nilde is an excellent dog sitter. She is very careful and pays attention to all details. My dog is taking medication. Nilde followed all instructions and gave my dog the medication perfectly. She sends detailed updates and photos every day. I can tell that my dog is getting lots of love, attention and care when she stays at Nilde's home. My dog was excited to see Nilde again! My dog comes home as her usual self. I would not hesitate to book with Nilde again. Thank you Nilde!
