“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”
“Ebony was great with Eleanor and she seemed to have enjoyed the stay with how tired she was when she was picked up! Good with sending daily updates and would recommend Ebony and her family to all!”
“Leah was great! She watched our dog for us for 2 nights while we visited Louisville. Anytime we come back we will definitely be scheduling with her. Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety but I could tell he wasn’t stressed one bit when we picked him up. Leah also sent plenty of pics for us to see. I highly recommend leaving your pets with her.”
“Shelby was incredibly flexible and responded quickly when we needed someone to watch our pups for a last minute funeral. We will definitely use her again.”
“At drop off there was a little tension between the dogs but it didn't last long. They all became fast friends. Lori was amazing. She made sure my boy was well exercised, spoiled and loved. It was my first time leaving him overnight, so i was nervous, but she sent me plenty of pictures and videos. He had a great time. I'm happy because now I can travel more knowing he would be with someone that treats him like family.”
“Heather was absolutely fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions. Our little guy had so much with Heather. She sent pictures and videos, daily, which was a nice touch. We will be booking her again. Highly recommend.”
“We are so happy to have found Nick! He was quick to respond to our request on short notice and even worked in a quick Meet and Greet at his house. He was easy to communicate with and checked in the first couple of days to let us know how Beau was settling in. He sent a few pics of Beau relaxing and playing. He was flexible with our pick up time since we had an evening flight. We really appreciated him taking care our our pup! Highly recommend and will be booking again.”
“Stephanie was wonderful and very accommodating. Her older dog played well with our older dog. Her 2 boys were there and enjoyed our dog too. Great doggy vacation”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”
“Josh was wonderful with the care of our Baybay. He sent us videos and updates everyday while we were on vacation.. We would highly recommend him for a pet sitter. We will definitely have him take care of our dog again!!!”
“Liam is the best! He treats our pup like his own and Teddy has so much fun with Liam and Louie! So glad we got connected and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!!”
“Charlie cane back and didn’t seem to miss us at all! Ben and Barry’s must have been the best puppy vacay for him! They gave us updates and we can tell he was well exercised and had a blast!”
“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”
“She take a very good care of my dog, always send pictures to keep me updated and ask questions about the dog to make they’re as comfortable as they can. She even gives my dog a shower before he leave. She also pay attention to how my dog eat and notice that he’s only eat if you mix his food. I would definitely recommend her and be back next time.”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
About: I work from home so your little ones won’t be by themselves, at least for not very long. I grew up on a farm with every animal possible around me so I’m used to it all. I work from home. I take my dog on a long morning walk in Cherokee park to start her day, throw balls in the fenced in dog park to use some energy, and take her out every 3 hrs or so to make sure she’s comfortable. My dog is like one of us. Well, sort of. We don’t feed her human food. Aside from that, we allow her on our furniture and she can move about freely as she wants. Your little one will have the same treatment.

Corey S.
“🐾 Dog Review for Corey 🐾 I can’t say enough good things about Corey! From the moment I dropped off my fur baby, I knew they were in great hands. My pup was greeted with open arms and immediately felt comfortable. Throughout the stay, Corey provided not just care but also plenty of playtime and cuddles. They kept me updated with adorable photos and messages, which really eased my mind. When I picked up my dog, they were happy, healthy, and slightly tired from all the fun! I highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a reliable and loving caretaker for their furry friends. Thank you for treating my dog like family! 🐶❤️”
