“Corrine and her family are amazing! They’ve been watching jenny since she was 12 weeks old. We dropped jenny off for a full week with Corinne and her family who took such good care of our girl. We got pictures every morning and through the day. Corrine and her family love Jenny and treat her great!! 🤍”
“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
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.
“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.”
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”

“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“If you need somewhere for your dog to stay, look no further. My experience with Hedra was amazing. He was super nice and accommodating, and quick to respond to all my texts. But more importantly Hedra truly loves dogs. I could tell by the pics Hedra sent me that my dog was having a great time and really being cared for, and when I came to pick her up, it was quit apparent that she enjoyed her stay.”
“My pug enjoyed her time at Patricia’s and came home just as happy as when we left her there. There was no adjustment period for her when she came home. We were very happy with her care. Patricia sent us pictures while we were away and kept in touch. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her!”
“We left our Betty with Max and his family for 5 nights and she was very well taken care of! We loved getting daily updates with lots of photos from her adventures. We almost worried she was having too much fun and wouldn’t want to come home ?.”
“I just cannot say enough good things about Amy and her care for my pup Beau. Above all else, Amy and Beau really connected, and seeing how comfortable and relaxed he was with her and her family gave me the ability enjoy my trip. Amy sent pictures of Beau enjoying his stay at least once a day. So glad to finally have found my dog person!”
“Joanne did an amazing job ? caring for my Roxy. I felt 100% comfortable from the onset. She was very communicative, accommodating and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog. I would hire Joanne again in a heart beat. This stay included at home boarding.”

We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!
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!
When I dropped off Buddy at At Jamie’s house he was welcomed as if he was visiting his second home.Her daughters were thrilled to have Buddy there and from the pictures I was sent he made himself right at home. Her whole family enjoyed having Buddy visit and I’m so glad to have found Jamie and her family.
