“Our experience with Katie and her family was nothing short of incredible. From the meet and greet where Katie listened to all the things that make Wrigley, Wrigley, to sharing what we could expect for him while in her care, to the drop off where they helped ease the goodbye (Wrigs has short-term separation anxiety), to the photos and texts during his stay, to the pickup where Wrigley clearly demonstrated that he was settled and comfortable (it took him a minute for him to even realize I was calling his name b/c he was engaging with Katie), we couldn't have asked for more. They adapted to Wrigley's needs and welcomed him right in. Wrigley came home happy (and wiped out) from his 4 day playdate, and we know where we'll try and send him whenever we need to know that he's getting the same kind of care and love we give him at home. Thank you, Katie and family!”


“So, this was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and I was pretty nervous about it. But let me tell you, our puppy absolutely LOVED staying with David and Betty! We were away for 6 days, and even though I was worried, they took such good care of our pup. They were super attentive and loving, and we could tell that they treated our furry friend like their own. They were also really punctual, flexible, and friendly, and their communication was top-notch. Honestly, I can't recommend them enough to anyone in the area who needs reliable and trustworthy people to look after their fur babies. Thanks a million, Betty and David, for giving us such peace of mind while we were away!”


“We are so grateful to have found Dana to care for our dachshund puppies. She arranged for a meet and greet prior to their stay, which also helped to ensure that we knew our pups were going to do well while we were away from them for the first time. We loved that they were going to be cared for in a home rather than a kennel - where they were treated like family. They also enjoyed their doggie playmates and having room to roam outside. We were confident they would be safe as Dana also has a fully fenced yard with remote controlled gate access. We loved getting the photos while we were away which made us able to relax even more knowing they were in good hands!! We also greatly appreciated Dana’s flexibility in our return time when car trouble delayed us. Thanks so much for caring for our pups, Dana! We can’t wait for them to have another stay. ??”


“Kirstin was great!! I got great pictures & Kirstin was able to take care of my leash aggressive/defensive dog & my other anxious barky dog! Communication was great & I definitely recommend it!”


“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”


“Still an awesome sitting experience, I love that he's getting socialized with other dogs and animals. We did send him with 4 days worth of food for 2 days and when we received the containers back, they were completely empty. He also came back a little obese so we think he was overfed a little bit.”


“I will recomend Maggie 100%. She is a very sweet person who took really really good care of my baby while we were out of town. She gave me confidence and security which is very important. Text me status of my baby and also sent me pictures, I cannot thank her more. Thank you Maggie!!!”


“Nancy did a terrific job with my airedale terrier. She watched her for a full week while I was away for the Holidays. She paid close attention to my dog's demeanor and ensured a happy and healthy environment.”


“This was my dog’s second stay with Stella and Zane and she was so excited as we drove up to their house, just goes to show that she felt comfortable with them! Stella sends lots of updates and they are very accommodating to unpredictable travel schedules.”


“Brandon and Heater were amazing. Leia and Kylo enjoyed their stay. Kylo takes a long time to warm up but felt comfortable sleeping under the covers just like at home. So glad that we found them and will be contacting them when we need a dog sitter again.”



“Marisol is amazing. She exceeded my expectations! It is hard to leave an aging dog who is set in their ways with just anyone. Marisol loved on our dog with such tenderness. She welcomed us, has a beautiful, organized home, and sent thoughtful and fun updates along the way.”


“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Nari! Throughout the booking process and the stay itself, she was very friendly and responsive. We got lots of pictures of our pup playing with her two sweet dogs. We would absolutely book with her again when the situation arises!”


“We love having Priscilla watch our dog! Our dog looks like she’s having so much fun in every picture we get. Not to mention she always comes home clean and well taken care of.”


“This is my second time booking with Matthew and he continues to do an amazing job at keeping my little aussie company and providing updates as normally. Highly recommended if you’re near the area! Matthew is communicative and reliable.”


“This is the third time that I have had her watch Benji and each time gets better. She sounds regular pictures and updates about his day and him playing with other friends. I always know that he’s in good care when he is with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”


About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with two senior cats, a ragdoll kitten, two mini schnauzer puppies, and regularly foster dogs. Every dog or puppy I foster learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.

“The best of the best. From the first thirty minutes to the last ten minutes we received updates on our fur baby. I received photos, videos, check ins, that made me laugh and feel good about my fur baby. The fact that they also have family home all day long is a huge plus for a dog like mine who has anxiety. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


“We could not have wished for any better sitter for Louie. Orlando was very responsive and sent daily pictures and videos. Louie loved their dogs and enjoyed the daily trips to the dog park or walks. Seeing Louie cuddle with Orlando and relax on comfortable blankets showed us that Louie is perfectly taken care of.”

Maafatu is a fantastic communicator. His response time to messages is always less than 30 minutes. He was flexible with allowing our dog to stay boarded for another day due to travel issues on our end. I would definitely use Maafatu again in the future and recommend his services to others.

Sophia took great care of Lani and Kam while my husband and I vacationed in Maui. We received daily pics and updates of our pups and really appreciated her taking them for long walks every day. 😊 We highly recommend her and will continue to rebook with her. Thanks so much Sophia!

Alyssa was wonderful with our puppy. It was the first time we had left him with anyone. She made us comfortable and eased our mind about leaving him with updates and pictures so much that he’s going back again soon. Thank you Alyssa, it’s hard leaving our little guy but you make it a bit easier knowing he’s in good care.
