1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Tiffany S.
“Wonderful experience again. Dog was well cared for.”
3. Tiffany D.
“Tiffany was amazing and took great care of our two dogs, and one is a puppy! Loved all the updates she sent with pictures and videos. House was so clean and left little notes for us. She will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you Tiffany!🩷”
4. Skye B.
“Skye was incredible house sitting our 2 pups for 4 nights and 5 days. She maintained communication and sent frequent photos. She made time to come socialize with our dogs during a short visit prior, so that she could get to know them as much as possible. Unfortunately, one of our pups got an upset tummy while we were away and had some accidents in the house. She was so gracious and kind in cleaning it all up, and went the extra mile in giving our dog a probiotic (we had some in the house), and cooking her chicken and rice to help, upon our request. 10/10 will book with Skye again. Thanks Skye for taking great care of our fur children! <3”

“Ajla took great care of our giant breed 4 month old puppy! She was on time, communicative and gave us consistent updates about how things were going. With Ajla we knew our puppy was in capable and friendly hands with her experience with other giant breed puppies. On top of that, our puppy was looking for her after she left to keep playing!”

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

13. Kaitlyn J.
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”

15. Jess J.
“We love Jess! We have three dogs a 11 year old pug who is having issues getting around, 7 year old Pug who is a rescue and a 6 yr old chihuahua mix who is also a rescue both with some separation issues. It was such a relief to know they could all stay in our home while we were out out town. Jess was wonderful, we got pictures and update from her daily and the dogs were so well taken care of. We look forward to using her again!”
16. Dorothy H.
“Dorothy has always had animals as long as i have known her. They should be considered the luckiest pets to have her as their owner! She is so patient and caring with all the pets she has had. She frequently pet sits for us when we are out of town and is happy to have the extra playmates.”
17. Aadhar P.
“Aadhar house sitted our dog Veera for a long duration while we were traveling internationally for three weeks. He took into account all the things and took such good care of Veera, as good as us. She missed us a lot less thanks to Aadhar! He even sent us constant updates about her, video called us and was always available to talk. We really appreciate his amazing care of Veera. We will definitely ask Aadhar to house sit for our future trips. Thanks a lot Aadhar for taking such good care of our fur baby. 😊”
