“Casey does a fantastic job! She watches Milo every year when we go on vacation. Milo loves going there and has so much fun and attention I think he doesn’t care how long he stays. Casey is attentive and I never have to worry about my dog’s care. She sends updates, pictures and will reach out if there is a question. We will never use anyone else!”
“Deb was great! We originally book with just one dog for the weekend of our wedding and ended up getting a second one and she was willing to watch them both. She was flexible with us to let us come pick them up to have them be included in some pictures. We got lots of updates and they had a good time. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.”
“Cortney did awesome with our son! He love it over there with his new friends!! We definitely will book with her again!!🩵🩷 Thanks for taking care of our boy Cortney!!”
“Eman was excellent! She has excellent skills with dogs and sent us pictures throughout the day of our baby! He slept well and had fun on their farm on nature walks! This is Kings first time ever staying with anyone other than family, Eman was just like family and we appreciate her!”
About: I raise lovable, friendly Aussies here on my farm. I train my dogs to protect the chickens, ducks and honeybees. Your pet will be exclusively cared for inside my home as the special guest with every need met. Your pet may not want to go home after all this love and attention =). I work, farm, school and play from home and am here 90% of the time. My 46 acre farm feels like a magical place that flows with fresh spring water and honey as we are a honeybee sanctuary. I allow your pet to roam free within my home during the day. I prefer them in a crate at nighttime but I am only in the next room close by. They will be taken out every 2 hours or so on a leash. My Aussies are extremely friendly, working farm dogs and love to meet our visitors when they go out to potty or play. Your pet will also have the opportunity to meet other farm animals and get comfortable with them if they would like. I have about a mile of trails around my farm and I walk daily. If your dog is allowed on the trails and in my creeks, I ask that you purchase the bath as well so they go home super clean.
“She was absolutely incredible with the whole process. She sent me pictures and updates of my dog and took the best care of her. I definitely will be booking again and I recommend her to anyone who needs to take their pet someone for boarding. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Willow. I can’t wait to book again!”
“Sierra's home was an absolute perfect fit for my dog. It was so nice to know that someone was taking care of her like I would and she adored the extra attention. I'd give 10 stars if I could!”
“Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.”
About: I've had dogs for my whole life and I absolutely love them. I love all dogs too, big or small. I love playing with them and running and walking them. Dog cuddles are definitely the best to me. I am currently a preschool teacher, but I will be done each day around 12:30. My hours are flexible, especially in the summer and during school breaks. I am able to work around all kinds of schedules at this time. I have my own dog and I take her on multiple walks daily and make sure to play with her too and make sure that she gets plenty of daily exercise. I also walk my neighbors two dogs daily Monday-Friday and make sure that they get good exercise and go potty for her in the middle of each day. I have even done check in visits with another one of my neighbors that have cats and I made sure to clean their litter boxes and refresh any empty food bowls or water bowls too while they were out of town.
“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”
“This was my second time having Alexis watch my older girl Daisy. She took very good care of my puggle. She was quick to respond to messages and sent me a little video so I could see my girl. Thank you Alexis and like before I will contact Alexis for future care of Daisy.”
About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!
“Angel was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with me on drop off and pick up times, and even met us closer so we didn’t have to drive as far. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated the whole time. Our dog seemed to have had a good time while he was there :)”
“Cody was a great listener to my husband and I about our pit/boxer. He is honest and so kind. I knew my Duke was in the best place! I picked him up and it seemed like he would have liked to stay with Cody!”
“Trooper helped us out by boarding our recently adopted Shih Tzu Stanley over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our new fur baby came to us with somewhat severe behavioral issues and was not ready for a large get together with kids so we reluctantly decided to board him during our travels. After connecting with Trooper, we had every confidence that Stanley's aggressiveness would not be problematic during his stay, and were so pleased with how well he was cared for. We received updates and pictures and were so relieved he received a safe, warm and friendly place to stay. Trooper has a huge dog-friendly compound where his dogs and those who he boards have plenty of room for running and playing, and a fantastic heated kennel house where the dogs are safe and protected from the elements. We provided all of Stanley's food, treats and creature comforts so he would feel more at home, and he was in very good spirits when we came to retrieve him. We would definitely trust Trooper with Stanley or or other senior Shih Tzu in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Maddie did an amazing job and sent regular photos and updates! It was a relief while I was out of town to know he was well taken care of and happy. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be contacting her again for future stays and walks!! :)”
“April was amazing. She helped us out with a last minute request. She was super responsive since and really enjoyed our dogs. It made our weekend so much more relaxed and enjoyable. We look forward to using her again.”
“Mary Beth was great! She was so sweet to our Tillie. She was very flexible with her schedule. She took Tillie on walks and loved her like her own dog. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and made me feel at ease while we were away. I will definitely be using her again!”
