“We have a 2 yo Havanese that is fearful and skittish of new people and places. We had a get acquainted session with Matt and Nicole and after that short meet we already felt very comfortable leaving Tebow in their care. Tebow then did the doggy daycare before he then spent the day and night that weekend. Matt and Nicole are so good about responding to texts. We were updated often about Tebow and were sent many cute pictures. We could tell Tebow was having a great time. We were amazed how quickly Tebow warmed up to them as it usually takes him awhile. They are now besties. We are so happy to have found Matt and Nicole as it makes it a lot easier knowing your fur baby is well taken care of in his second home when we are gone.”
“Kyli, was very responsive and she provided updates during my Charlie’s stay. I can tell she had a good time with Kyli and we will definitely be booking with her again.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”

“Would ABSOLUTELY book again....We have an elderly dog and a youthful one and Iris was amazing with both of them. She was so good with sending pics/videos without me even requesting them. We definitely plan to book with her again. Her home was beautiful as well. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend Iris, she is AWESOME!!!! :)”
“My dog Sam had such a great stay with Joanne. He is normally very nervous about meeting new people, but he took to Joanne right away, and he loved playing with her dog Juno. Joanne has a nice big back yard that is fenced, so Sammy got lots of outdoor time (which he loves). She kept me up to date each day on how he was doing by sending photos. I definitely plan to use Joanne again in the future, and I recommend her highly as a sitter.”

“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them.

I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
“Cherisse was great, she gave me consistent updates with pictures and treated my dog like family. I was nervous leaving my dog behind but Cherisse always made me feel like he was in great hands. When I picked him up she had given him a bath and had a cute bandanna on him. I will definitely be contacting her again when I need a sitter. Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !”
