“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”


“Absolutely amazing! Loved Christianna! She kept me updated throughout the day with texts, pictures, and videos. She went above and beyond to ensure my pup was well cared for and happy. I trust her implicitly and will use her again the next time I leave town.”


“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”


“This as Milo’s first time being boarded and he had a great time! Denise and her family gave him lots of love and affection. He was very well taken care of. They even washed his bowls and everything! You can tell they are dog lovers.”


“If I could give a 10/10 I would! Lindsey was seriously the best. She and her family gave our 2 dogs all the love and attention they could have gotten! (I honestly think our dogs miss them!) I didn't worry about our girls at all when they stayed with Lindsey. She messaged me with updates and pictures every day, and if I wanted to check in with a message to see how they were doing, she was quick to respond. It had rained one day and our girls got dirty outside, and I appreciated that Lindsey asked if it was OK to bathe them, and that she did bathe them! Our girls were soft/smelled great when we picked them up, they were tired, and seemed happy. Her family took them on a walk, and even gave them a spoon of peanut butter as a treat on Christmas. Our one dog became attached to a toy at their home, and Lindsey was sweet enough to let her take it home, so our dog now has a small piece of her stay with Lindsey and her family. I would 10/10 recommend and would love to be able to use Lindsey for future dog stays!”



“I just wanted to take a moment to share my fantastic experience with Melissa, who took care of my dog, Sky. From the get-go, it was clear that Melissa is an absolute dog lover! When I dropped Sky off, she instantly made me feel at ease. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing. Melissa has three dogs of her own, and they were all friendly and welcoming. It didn’t take long for Sky to fit right in and start playing with them. I loved how well they got along; it was a great relief to see my pup so happy and engaged with other dogs. When I picked Sky up, she was exhausted but so joyful! It was obvious she had an awesome time with Melissa and her dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for my furry friend. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a loving and safe place for their pets. Thanks, Melissa! You truly made Sky’s day! 🐾”



“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Christine! Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left. I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with her for the weekend and we will definitely be long term clients for her!”


“Jacqueline took great care of Louie and communicated and sent pictures every day. Louie and Clover had a blast. She also allowed us to change from one day to six days at the last minute. I wish I lived closer to her!”


“Boarding with Ashley was an amazing experience. She was able to sit for us last minute, which was great. Ashley communicated with me throughout the day, with lots of pictures and updated. My dog seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking again.”


“Hayes had a great time at Kayla’s house! I really appreciate that she was able to watch Hayes on such short notice and took good care of our sweet girl!”


“Anika was amazing with Tudor! She constantly communicated with me during the duration of his stay ensuring he was well taken care of in a safe home and enjoying his time. Anika will be my go-to sitter moving forward because we loved her she would love to use her services again.”


“Chrishauna and her family was so AMAZING! My fur baby was so well taken care of and loved as if she was their own. They took care of her for almost a week and I got pictures and updates daily. I’m so happy I chose her to care for my fur baby and she will definitely be the only sitter for my family.”


“Very communicative and accommodating! Even though our dog wasn’t the best house guest, she changed things up to help him. Thank you soooooo much!!!!”

About: Family and friends have entrusted me with their fur babies for walks, bathing and occasionally dog sitting when owners go on vacation knowing they are well cared for and loved with many cuddles and fun . If you have an emergency or desperately need pet service, please reach out! I’m willing to work with you! I work a rotating schedule that gives me a good amount of time off between work days. Please reach out to collaborate a game plan with me that’s more in depth and specific! Cheerio! My clients fur babies are well cared for with walks, play time, potty breaks, bath time, feedings and of course lots of cuddles and tummy rubs. Dogs are therapeutic beings that bring joy and comfort to the soul that will forever be family. With my occupation, I am well aware of my surroundings. Safety is one of my top priorities especially if your fur baby does not get along with other dogs, I can work with it and handle it with little to no problem. I have cared for dogs that are obedient to orders especially in open land and around others.

Drew R.
“I met Drew at my old job and we instantly hit it off talking about my little boy (Dexter). Well Ive since gotten a new job that demands a lot of my time unfortunately. This makes it hard to walk Dexter when he needs to/I want to. So I reached out to Drew and she very extremely flexible with my schedule. She's always very polite and punctual and has never missed walking Dexter even once. Dexter loves her and since she's started walking him, there have been zero accidents in the house for me to clean up after work. She makes being busy with a pet much easier to handle. 10/10 would recommend”
