“Beth took excellent care of our dog, Ellie. She sent pictures and replied to our texts promptly. This is the first time in 6 years, since we adopted Ellie, that we have left her. After the meet and greet we had no problems leaving her with Beth”


“Victoria was the best! Her kiddos were adorable and clearly so gentle and good with the dogs. They got so much love while they were there! Plus the house + back yard setup was ideal for lots of playing and running. Victoria was super flexible and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely book again!”


“My dog was happy when I picked her up and well cared for. I really appreciated the photos Alyssa sent throughout our time away. Made us feel at ease. Couldn’t ask for anything more! I would choose again.”


“I was a bit nervous leaving Levi with anyone since it would be his first time without us. Steven made my husband and myself feel at ease and promised Levi would be well taken care of. While away, Steven sent us videos and pictures of our Levi having a good time playing and running with Steven’s dogs and even sent us a picture of Levi sitting with the family for movie night which I greatly appreciated. He was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy his stay. Thank you for everything!”


“My dog is always very excited to spend the night with Marty and her family! She keeps you updated on the events of the day and the wellness of your animal. Marty is attentive to your dog's needs and quirks, and I always know I'm picking up a happy and relaxed boy. Have used Marty in the past, and will continue to use her for future boarding needs!”



“This was the first time we left Trigger with Stephanie and have already rescheduled our next visit. Stephanie sent us photos and updates on how our dog was doing and Trigger came home exhausted and happy. Thank you Stephanie!”


“This is our 2nd time using Toni and we couldn’t be happier with her! She is easy to communicate with and we love the updates we get. We always love seeing pictures! This really helps us feel more comfortable while we are away from our pup! She is very accommodating and has a great setup! Toni is also a pro at giving meds and eye drops! We will definitely use her again!”



“I would highly recommend Joni to everyone who needs a dog sitter. My Jazzy took to Joni right away and I know she enjoyed her stay. Joni has the perfect house and fenced in backyard which gave Jazzy the opportunity to run where ever she wanted. Joni played with Jazzy all the time and when I picked Jazzy up she slept in my arms all the way home. Jazzy is only 7 months old and she actually minds better since her stay with Joni. Joni is a very special lady who really loves dogs and is absolutely great with them. I plan to have Joni sit with my Jazzy every time we go out of town.”


“She was wonderful with our anxious dog Kaiba. She sent plenty of pictures of him playing with her dog and spending time in her yard. She also was willing to adjust his food because he often doesn’t want to eat when away from home. The best part of the experience was the constant communication and pictures. I felt he was in a safe, caring environment.”


“Andrew and his wife were incredible! Super friendly, took our pup for plenty of walks and showed her lots of love. I really appreciate their attention to detail and care. Will definitely be using them in the future!”


“Sheila is kind and conscientious! She has a huge yard for the pups to play and shared photos and updates on my pet while I was away. Would definitely recommend Sheila.”


About: Have you ever hoped for a sitter that is able to read your dog to find out what they want, need, and feel at that moment? Look no further, because I could put any animal-communicating Disney princess to shame! Years of owning a dog: 25 ish Volunteering: • (3) years with Southern Siberian Rescue (SSR) grooming, playing with, walking, transporting, and gently showing them that they can trust humans again What helps me bond with dogs: • Patience that I use to understand and to take whatever time is needed to make your pup feel safe and secure (it took me 2 hours to have a stubborn husky going from being scared of cars to enjoying their first car ride) • Empathy: to learn and understand YOUR dog’s needs in the moment and in the near future (I helped a stranger figure out why their dog was being aggressive— their dog was fear-reacting to specific situations) • Energy: I will match a dog’s energy to ensure they get the physical stimulation they need which reduces unwanted behavior and serves as a method of emotional bonding with the dog • Knowledge: I have had a lifelong niche interest in learning about different breed’s temperament and needs. Learning about many different breeds also helps me apply the knowledge to bonding with mixed breeds (the half amazing- half terrific breed). Working/herding class dogs need more mental stimulation. Hound/sporting breeds need goal-specific physical activity. Non-sporting/toy/terrier breeds love snuggles and affection. I do it all and I am passionate about making every dog know they are the goodest boy or girl ever! I work from home on the days I have available 👩🏻🔬 my schedule is generally pretty flexible as long as I am told 2 or more days in advance! I enjoy going for walks during my work breaks At first, I’ll make sure your pet stays in the same area as myself so they are within my line of sight at all times. I have lots of toys for pups to play with or they can snooze on a nest of blankets and a dog bed! Once I get to know your pup more, I may allow the pup to roam into adjacent rooms but still where I can hear them and quickly see them.

“Bradley was great! He provided thorough communication before and throughout the stay and updated us frequently with pictures. He also was willing to adapt to unforeseen medications for our dog as well as a last minute change! We definitely will be using him again in the future! Highly recommend!!”


“Annmarie was excellent and I trusted her 100% with my dog! She had great communication with me and was very quick to respond to me through the app! My dog looked happy in the photos and updates she sent and when I picked him up! She has years of experience with dogs and you can tell! I do highly recommend her and feel lucky to have another safe pet sitter for the future!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitters – Like a Second Home for My Pups! I can’t recommend our dog sitters enough! From the very first message, their communication was warm, prompt, and professional. They made everything so easy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Our dogs stayed at their home, and honestly, it felt more like sending them on a vacation than dropping them off with sitters. They were welcomed like family, and it was clear they were treated with so much love and care. One of my favorite parts was getting regular updates — texts, photos, and videos — showing all the fun adventures, playtime, and snuggles. Even better, they have a dedicated Instagram account [@trutails_] where they post the cutest highlights of their time with the dogs. It was such a joy to follow along and see how genuinely happy and relaxed our pups were in their care. The house is super dog-friendly, and our dogs settled in immediately. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and honestly didn’t seem like they wanted to leave — which says it all! If you’re looking for dog sitters who will treat your pets like their own, provide a loving home environment, and keep you in the loop every step of the way, these are your people. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them!”
