“Remy loved his stay here!!! He was with Nuttawadee for 15 days and she and her husband took the best care of him. I got so many pictures and he looked so happy to be there. Wonderful caring family and highly recommend them if you need a sitter.”


“Sylvia has a heart for dogs and this was evident from the moment my fur baby arrived. She was very attentive to my dog, kept me informed daily of my dog’s activities and my dog was happy there. She even sent me daily pictures.I will absolutely use Sylvia again in the future.”


“Laura was so wonderful to Teagan that when I pulled in to pick her up she almost wanted to go back inside and stay😂 in all seriousness, Teagan looked like she had a great time and I will absolutely try to book with Laura next time we head out of town!”



“Mary and her family are phenomenal! Our Hank was so well taken care of and I can tell he felt so comfortable in her home. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”


“Leaving your furry family members behind while you travel is always tough, but Kelly and James made it so much easier for us! We entrusted them with our two dogs, Nala (a sweet, little Bichon ) and Trouble (our little terrier mix) for a full week, and we came home to two happy and relaxed pups. Right from the meet-and-greet, we knew our dogs were in good hands. Kelly and James were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they took the time to really understand Nala and Trouble's unique personalities and needs. Trouble can be a bit anxious in new environments, but Kelly and James were incredibly patient with him, creating a safe and comfortable space for both dogs. What truly sets Kelly and James apart is their commitment to communication. Not only did they send us daily updates with photos but they also proactively reached out with questions and observations about our dogs' behavior. It was reassuring to know they were so attentive and truly cared about Nala and Trouble's well-being. We especially appreciated the daily photos of them snuggled up. – it definitely eased any worries we had! Beyond the basic care, Kelly and James went the extra mile. They took the dogs on walks, played fetch in the backyard. It was evident that Nala and Trouble received plenty of love and attention during their stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and James to anyone seeking exceptional dog care. They are truly passionate about animals and provide a loving and nurturing environment for your furry friends. We will definitely be booking with them again!”


“Joanna is an amazing dog sitter and was very patient with my 4 month old pup. She constantly updated me on how my pup was doing by sending me multiple pictures throughout the day. Would definitely book again!”


“She asked all the right questions and updated me with my pups activities. My dogs became really good friends with two of her dogs. In short they didn't miss me and loved how she made them feel at home.”



“Jeff kept our two Goldens for five days. They did great! We could tell Jeff genuinely loves dogs. He has a safe and smart set-up for dog-sitting. Our girl Golden will always show signs of distress if she doesn’t have a good experience. She came home happy, healthy and exhausted from all the fun. Both of our dogs did well and Jeff communicated through the stay. We would definitely reserve Jeff again.”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who truly treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities and currently focus on pups 40 lbs and under to keep things calm and comfortable in my cozy home. My own dog is about 65 lbs, gentle, and great with dogs of all sizes! I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can provide focused attention, a peaceful environment, and personalized care for your pup’s unique needs. I work from home full time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. While I don’t include walks by default, I’m happy to offer them if requested. I do require that all dogs are crate trained, just in case I need to run a quick errand—your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor potty breaks and play. I only accept crate-trained dogs under 40 lbs and host just one family’s pets at a time. This helps ensure a low-stress, high-attention environment tailored to your dog’s comfort. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.

“Thank you Millie for taking such great care of Batman. I really appreciated the updates with photos. Seeing him happy and content putmy mind at ease while we were away.”


“Jacob and his family were WONDERFUL! They made us comfortable immediately. We were shown their sleeping area and the yard. They provided crates and beds. They communicated well. I HIGHLY recommend them and absolutely would use them again. Wonderful people!”


“Andrea took our dog in last minute & took great care of him, checking in with pictures & texts, despite being busy caring for multiple dogs. It was also a holiday weekend on top of it. Andrea is very accommodating & understanding, we will definitely use her services again!”


“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”


“Onyx enjoyed staying with Steve and had lots of fun. He warmed up quickly to Steve which is unusual so it's a testament to Steve's natural abilities with cats. Steve provided regular updates and pictures to reassure me things were going well. I highly recommend Steve as your next pet sitter!”


“Kassandra, along with her husband and children, were absolutely wonderful. They took very good care of my very old dog and who seemed very content when I picked him up. Thank you so much.And i'm sure balou looks forward to another sleepover soon”


“I cannot recommend Andrea enough! She was beyond accommodating when our trip schedule changed and we asked if she could pick marlin up rather than a drop off. She has two Great Danes, and we have a Great Dane so of course we trusted her with our giant boy. But goodness I didn’t think Marlin would want to come home! Her younger Dane Molly just loves have a partner at the house (her other Dane is much older and more of a lounger). Marlin and Molly became besties, or as Andrea put it “2 peas in a pod”. Marlin had a vacation while we vacationed. We definitely plan to use Andrea on our next trip, and maybe even some play dates in between!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Devon she was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a very spunky, high-energy young pup a an older dog who moves at a slower pace, and she handled them both with so much love and care. She truly treated them like her own, she gave both so much love, attention, and affection. She made sure they got their walks in and even adjusted to each of their personalities and needs. I came home to two very happy and relaxed dogs. It was quite clear they felt completely at home with her. I'd trust her with my pets anyday!!”
