“I had such an amazing experience with Diana & Harish. Mimi was not sure to be away from home and I asked to do meet up prior to her appointment. The meet and greet went well.

“Brutus is my 7 year old Pit Terrier rescue . To fully encapsulate the experience he had staying with Jaclyn, I will need to describe Brutus a bit more. Brutus is very people centric. He not only requires constant attention and affection, he almost demands it. He is extremely kind and loving and often misunderstood by his appearance. He can be extremely stubborn, as is common with pits. I brought Brutus to Jaclyn for an introduction... It went very well. I then decided to leave Brutus for a few days as I traveled. It is also important to know that Brutus just came out of ear surgery, so at that time he required some medical attention, as well as extra care. The surgery and the medication, and the care weren't a problem for Jaclyn. Brutus and his stubbornness, was not a problem for Jaclyn . Brutus being afraid of thunderstorms, and his need for constant affection... also not a problem for Jaclyn . Jaclyn did an exceptional job of taking care of Brutus, showing him love and affection, and it showed when I picked him up. I received frequent updates and photos on his condition and care. Jaclyn was also extremely flexible with my change in travel, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and her husband. After trying many other options for Brutus ... I can definitively say I have found Brutus his permanent caregiver. My family and I are extremely appreciative for the love, care, and attention Jaclyn and her husband have given to Brutus. Thank you so much and we will see you soon!”
“Thank you so much for watching Duncan, Carine! From your communication to all the great pictures, we felt so comfortable knowing that Duncan was in great hands with you. We will definitely rebook with you again!”
About: Hi there! We're a dog-loving couple excited to care for your furry family members. I grew up on a farm in Vilonia, AR, surrounded by Border Collies. My parents bred and raised them, and also offered training and boarding services. This means I've been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. My wife shares my passion for animals and brings her own professional experience to the table. She worked at a grooming and boarding facility throughout high school and college, so she's well-versed in handling and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy and reliable care for your pets, and we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for them. We currently have two wonderful dogs of our own: Zero, a Border Collie, and Ernie, a terrier mix. They're both very friendly and love making new furry friends! We're happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to meeting your beloved companions. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into our daily routine. When I'm home, I work fully remotely, which allows me to dedicate ample time to your furry friend throughout the day. While I do travel occasionally for work, my wife works remotely several days a week as well, ensuring consistent care and attention for your pet. Whether I'm home or traveling, we prioritize your pet's well-being and treat them with the same love and attention we give our own dogs. Your dog's safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our home offers a secure and loving environment with a fully fenced yard where your dog can play freely. Because I work fully remotely when I am at home and my wife works remotely several days a week, your pet will receive near-constant supervision and plenty of opportunities for playtime, cuddles, and individual attention. We'll treat your dog as a member of our family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay

Rachel was amazing. Our dog took to her immediately. She kept us updated and sent pictures. Highly recommended!!!!
I was nervous, leaving my dog with someone unfamiliar for the first time, but Alka was amazing with her. She sent me videos and updates and was so loving and sweet with her. I was able to enjoy myself knowing that she was being cared for by such an attentive sitter. I would definitely recommend using Alka!
Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
Shaun did an outstanding job watching my maltipoo Toby. He kept us fully up to date on evrything. I will be using Shaun again the next time I need a dog sitter.
Chelsea has a vibrant personality that appeases you when you leave your pet with her. Her yard is a dog’s paradise and the whole family is kind, pet loving, and fun to be with. Highly recommended for your furry friends
Emily was really great with communicating with me about her care for my Parker. It was my first time leaving him with non family members and she made me feel so comfortable. Parker was well care for and I can see that Emily truly enjoys sitting dogs. Thank you!!
Robert and Bianca were wonderful to work with. They met with me before the trip to make sure my nervous pup was comfortable with them. They sent photos throughout my trip, took her on lots of walks, played with her, and gave her daily medication. Nellie had an amazing time and even got to snuggle in their bed at night. You can tell that Robert and Bianca are true animal lovers and treated Nellie as their own. Already planning my next trip to use Robert + Bianca again!
