“We had a wonderful initial meet and greet with Carol. Our dog doesn't take to everyone but immediately took to Carol. We dropped our dog off feeling very good about Carol. While we were away Carol sent pictures of our dog relaxing on the couch looking very happy and healthy. When we returned our dog was obviously happy to see us. Carol said the two of them had a nice time together. I would definitely recommend Carol and we will use her again in the future when needed.”

About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Rebecca was easily the best caretaker for my sweet but sensitive dog I’ve found. My dog immediately took to her and felt at ease in her home. Rebecca sent photos during my time away, was very communicative, and was flexible when I had to make a last minute change. I couldn’t recommend her and her family and more highly!”
“Hedra did a wonderful job watching our dog, Cocoa, while we were away. He was reliable, communicated consistently, and clearly took great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.”
“Gerry is the best. We just left our puppy with her for his first overnight stay and he was received with lots of love and attention. Would definitely recommend Gerry to others.”
“Amy was so sweet and easy to make arrangements with! It made me feel good when she told me that Bear enjoyed hanging out with her family. Her daily updates and pictures were a treat. I would not hesitate to board Bear at Amy’s again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and parakeets of all ages. During the school year, I work as a full time special education teacher. This gives me mornings for walks and cuddles and plenty of time for love, attention, and playtime afternoon til bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. I also have 2 dog friendly cats. If your pet is crate trained, I can easily accommodate that.
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs including walking, feeding, medication, overnight care, etc. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I work from home full time which means your dog is with me all the time. This allows me to bond with your dog & they quickly become comfortable staying here. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 10 lb, 2 year old dog who loves other dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have safety gates to separate them if desired.
“We really hit the jackpot with Danielle! I was hesitant at first to leave our dog Pearl with anyone for 12 days but Danielle really put our minds at ease. We were able to meet her and her dog Georgia prior to Pearls stay and we also got to see her environment. Danielle was very clean and organized and the pups had plenty of space to roam and play! We received daily updates as well as pictures of Pearl for everyday of our trip. Danielle also was very easy to get in touch with and she answered my messages with in minutes! Overall our experience was great and our Pearl was in great hands! We will be using Danielle again for all future trips!!! Thank you again for treating Pearl so well and making our trip worry free!!!! 🐶♥️”

About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.
“Joanne was so nice and made us feel so at ease. She was very responsive, kind and trustworthy. We highly recommend her and would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Christine and her family were great. They accepted our request with very little advance notice which allowed me to attend a funeral service and not have to worry about Rocky. As a border collie mix, Rocky has enormous energy, but when I picked him up from Christine, he plopped down in the backseat and slept all the way home. I also loved the photo Christine sent me of Rocky playing with her other dogs. It looked like he was having a great time. I whole heartedly recommend Christine if you need a sitter in her area.”

Thank you, Mark!! Great first experience with Mark sitting for my pup. He was so good with my Petey and sent me photos almost every day. I was very pleased with his responsiveness to my inquiries, as well as the care he obviously gave Petey. Thanks, Mark, your care for Petey was very much appreciated! I would definitely use Mark's service again!
