“Megan was great. She was very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, sent us plenty of pictures, and even sent us home with some homemade doggie treats. Would definitely recommend.”
“Caroline is an absolute gem! I don't know what me or my old pup would do without her. Kind and caring. Truly makes him feel loved to the point he doesn't miss me (which is kind of a good thing). We appreciate what she does so much.”
“Kathleen took great care of our Ellie. She seemed really happy with all the snuggles and adventures they went on while she was under Kathleen’s care. Definitely recomment if you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”
“Alyx accommodated last minute changes in the booking. She communicated well while I was away and sent two photos. I have used her services once for in-home sitting and this time for boarding in her home and would use again.”
“Eugene and Gale watched our sweet Sophie for a week while we were out town. They sent us pictures and videos of her throughout the week to help ease our anxiety of leaving her. She’s older now and can’t travel with us any longer. We loved the idea of boarding Sophie in a home and we found the perfect fit for our family. Eugene and Gale took care of Sophie like she was their own. She even went on car rides and enjoyed visiting family. We couldn’t have been happier with the care and love she received. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you both again for taking care of our beloved Sophie!”
“Marissa was fantastic! She went above and beyond for our dogs and took such good care of them. She sent photos every day. She took them for walks and swims and gave them extra love and the best care. She was extremely responsive, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! I hope to use her again in the future!”
“I had never left my dogs with a stranger before and Natalie was great!! I got updates and pictures everyday, they were happy and well taken care of. Natalie made me feel like she really enjoyed having them and that really made us feel better. Thank you!!”
About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!
“Alissa is the BEST! She went way beyond making sure not only were my 2 boxers were comfortable, and well cared for but she also made me comfortable leaving them in her care. One of my boys was very anxious and skittish and she understood and made their stay the best experience! To top it off Alissa made portraits of my boys on boards to remember their first “boarding.” I will definitely book Alissa again!!”
“Lindsay was wonderful,if I could give her additional stars I would!! Teddy has separation anxiety but she made him feel right at home. She sent daily updates and pictures. We are so grateful for her and will use Lindsay the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Nothing brings me more joy than interacting with animals. We lost our family dog of 12 years in January of 2025. For the last 6 years of his life, we worked closely with his primary vet and internal medicine doctor to maintain his autoimmune disease and keep him happy/comfortable. He was very well cared for and loved by many. I have cared for the pets of friends and family over the years when they’ve gone on vacation or simply needed a little assistance. I know first hand how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, especially if they have special medical needs. I am confident that I will treat your pet with the respect and care that would leave your mind at ease and keep me on your speed dial for future needs. I do not have experience administering injection medications but am happy to do so if your dog is used to them and cooperative. My experience with special needs dogs is only with my previous dog with his many medications and dietary restrictions. We are happy to accommodate the best we can with your specific special needs. I am 35, my husband Austin is 33, and our daughter is 11. We live in a humble single story ranch style home where our dog guests are welcome on the furniture and in the bed. Previous dog guests have enjoyed our fenced in back yard! Our neighborhood is 3 connecting streets, which are all dead ends (we don’t see a lot of traffic). In the evenings when it’s time to relax, we enjoy watching tv in our living room. I work a full time job very close to home, which allows me to come home on lunch breaks. My husband is a veteran and is currently in school, with classes once to twice weekly. He is home most days out of the week (if not for the entire day, the majority of the day). We are typically home bodies, so you can expect us home with your loved ones during their stay. I prefer knowing as much as possible about your pet’s daily routines so I can stick to them as closely as possible. I know how uneasy some pets can get when in the care of someone else, or when their family is away, so I do my best to provide them with the things in their lives that they find comfort and routine in. I do have plants in my home. If plants are of a particular interest to your dog, if you prefer me to move them, or if we feel its best to move them, we are more than happy to relocate them to a room that we will keep closed.
“Chelsea and her family were wonderful with Luna and she was so accommodating during a very busy weekend! Thank you for being so flexible with our changing schedules. It was a pleasure meeting you! Thanks again for a fun visit for Luna!”
“Her and her family were so nice to my dog Hudson & I. On very short notice, she took care of my dog while I am battering a serious head cancer. I cannot say enough kind things about them, and thanks towards them. My dog was happy & well cared for when I picked him up.”
“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”
