“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”
“Jesse & Emily treated my Angel like she’s a family. Angel was greatly taken care of, even made friends with Hazel and Nola (kids). We received daily updates and pictures. We’re forever grateful for this family.”
“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”
“Nadia was absolutely fantastic. We received daily updates on how our dog was doing and knew that she was very well taken care of. Nadia ensures that the dogs under her care get plenty of exercise/outside time and receive oodles of affection. I would highly recommend her!”
“We were very pleased with how well our dog Kyah was taken care of by Casey and her family! We especially loved the daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend and we hope Kyah can stay with them on our next trip!”
“Hannah did an absolute stellar job. Of course she is almost overly qualified, and I had no reservations of leaving my cat in her care. She was very responsive and flexible, which made it so much easier! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Deb absolutely did an amazing job with my two mini dachshunds !!! They are the best !!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure !!! Thank you 🙏 for everything you did for them !!!”
“Hi Eman, Our apologies for just getting back to you. We're thrilled that Aida has a 'home' when we're out and about. Having coming across you recently has made us incredibly comfortable. The photos are terrific! Many thanks to you for us being out to a recent trip to family and friends. We're looking forward to meeting you again at some point...and Aida is too. Adriane & Jim”
“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”
“I left my dog with Amy for a weekend, and even though Lana can be a little anxious at first, she fit right in with Amy and Sylvie. Amy provided frequent updates and pictures to reassure me Lana was doing well. It’s evident Amy truly cares for the dogs she watches. She also has a great space for the doggies to play.”
“Dana is a wonderful host! Lexie stayed with Dana (and Red) while we took a trip over the July 4th weekend and Lexie had a great experience. We especially enjoyed getting pictures and videos on Red's Instagram account!”
About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.
“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Sierra provided for our Bernedoodle! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in great hands. Sierra kept my family updated with regular photos that showed just how much fun he was having. It was such a relief and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Sierra’s exceptional support during our unexpected travel delay really set her apart. After we missed a connecting flight due to delays, we had no choice but to stay overnight in a hotel. Sierra graciously extended our dog's stay on very short notice without any hesitation. It was a lifesaver, and we’re incredibly grateful for her flexibility and kindness. When I picked him up, it was clear he had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Thank you, Sierra, for being so incredible. We would absolutely trust you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Merlin had a wonderful time at Andrew’s! He sent updates at least once a day and took Merlin outside to play and expel his super high energy. I highly recommend Andrew for anyone needing care for their pet! He was very professional and was super knowledgeable about behavior recognition and training! His two dogs, Zeus and Baloo, are super sweet and interacted with Merlin very well.”
