“Mary and Skip are wonderful and caring dog sitters! Jojo loves spending time with them. They give her so much love and attention. We always feel confident that she is well taken care of.”
“Rodney was great. He responded to my last minute request over the holidays promptly. He then made sure Zeno would fit in with his dogs and his boarders. Zeno had a blast and was nice and tired when he finally came home. Rodney has a great property for dogs that need room to roam. Highly recommend.”
“April did great! We have never used Rover before or left our dog with anyone other than family, so naturally I was really nervous about leaving her with someone we didn’t know, especially for 3 nights. April did wonderful updating us with pictures throughout the weekend and was super fast on responding to any messages I sent her. If you’re a nervous first-time rover user like we were, it’s totally understandable but I highly recommend April.”
“Christine was nice to work with. She sent a lot of pics and videos of how my pup was doing during his stay. Def made traveling with him a bit smoother.”
“Professional, kind and clearly dog lovers! Happy to find Coddy and Byron for the long holiday weekend. As a lab, Kevin can be quite the handful and after the meet and greet I knew he would be well taken care of. Provided daily updates and answered my questions quickly. Best part is Kevin came home tired and happy! Recommend and will be using again!”
About: My husband and I have had our own dogs for 14 years. In 2023 we moved into our forever home, after a year of renovating an 1883 farmhouse with 8-acres. At that time we started to watch our friends dogs when they went on vacation. Our current lab Brucer lost his brother (Beau -lab) early in 2023 and we noticed how much he enjoys playing with the dogs we watch. We are not ready to commit to having 2 dogs of our own again, but we have enjoyed watching others dogs and most importantly Brucer has enjoyed having friends to play with! Our dog and 2 barn cats are part of our daily routine. We feed them together every morning and evening. Given that we live on 8 remote acres our lab often goes outside to lay in the front yard or wander out back. We will also take him on walks. Our lab comes with us when we go up north during the summer or when we visit our parents. One of us (my husband or I) are home Friday-Monday. We work away from the house Tuesday-Thursday. There are occasional days that I do work from home mid week (feel free to inquire if you want us home). We have 8 acres, part field, part wooded and we live on a dirt road. Our dog has learned to stay in the yard. We prefer to be able to provide your dog with full off leash time. However, we are able to do leashed walks as well.
“Best sitter ever! Great person. Took great care and sent plenary pics. Really loves animals. I recommend her to anybody that loves there pet. She loves them like her own kids!”
“Our dog Daisy had a great stay. We were sent photos and up dates periodically through out each day. She always looked happy, playing, eating or resting. She came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Heidi is wonderful! She took great care of Oakley while we were on vacation. Her home is beautiful and Oakley loved going on walks and watching animals in her yard. Heidi sent pictures everyday and communicated well with us. She even agreed to extending his stay for an extra day so I could spend it helping with a sick family member. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“We loved Jennifer but in the past 2 weeks I have had 2 family emergencies and she accommodated Ollie giving me peace of mind and allowing me to do what I needed to do. She's the best!!!”
“I was a bit of a scheduling disaster but Katie was absolutely amazing. My dog loves her and I could tell she had a good time. Katie has a huge yard for the dogs to run around in and you can tell she runs a tight ship. I felt incredibly comfortable and safe leaving my baby in her care.”
“I was really nervous about leaving Fae for so long, but it was pretty chill from the moment I dropped her off. When I picked her up she reacted way less anxiously than if I had been returning home from work, and I was expecting the opposite. Brooklyn’s just super chill and the dogs seem to pick up on it.”
“I'm a repeat client. Great comunications, resident dog-friends and a large, fenced yard. Belle always comes home tired and happy. Most highly recommended”
“Anne was wonderful with my dog. I was a little nervous because I’d only ever left him with family before but she was amazing. She kept me updated with photos and text updates the whole time we were gone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Veronica was a great host for my Tess. She took great care of her. We will be returning customers.”
“Great experience with Renae and her husband. My dogs were well taken care of and welcomed into the home like they were part of the family. Communication and pictures were great, no complaints.”
About: I pride myself in making sure your pet gets the enrichment they need. As well as creating a comfortable environment for them. They will get all their walkies, and treats! I usually am up by 8am. First things I do is make sure my animals are fed and they can get their days started. Then I clean around to make sure I change toy placements to create more stimulation. I make sure my animals are first in my daily routine. I usually get started with my day after I make sure they are okay. I let my cats wonder through out the house. I avoid leaving the bathrooms open, but they do have bathroom times when humans are in there. For whatever reason they think I am going to fall into the toilet, and or a shower monster is out to get me. I also have some outside time for my cats, with leashes. If any of my dog friends come over, I have a fenced in yard for them to roam around in, as well as living around friendly trails to walk on.
“Amanda was absolutely FANTASTIC with our 75lb Newfy Doodle! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone besides family and we couldn't have asked for it to go better. Amanda had her for 10 days. She is great with daily communication. Including pics of our girl playing, napping, going on walks, little snippets of her day, etc. She is very knowledgable with dogs and you can absolutely tell she is a dog lover. Her two dogs are well loved and did great with our dog. We already have her booked for another vacation. THANK YOU AMANDA!”
“Becky was wonderful! She and her two girls were the perfect match and companions for our pups while we were on vacation. We will most definitely call on her again when we need someone to care for them. Everything we could have asked for and more ❤️”

Courtney & Ryan I.
“Ryan and Courtney have been watching our dog, Scout since he was a puppy. They are awesome with him and his rambunctious nature. He has a lot of energy and they take that in stride by giving him plenty of exercise. I know that he is well cared for when we leave him; he is treated like another member of their family. They send frequent text updates so we know how he is doing. He is always happy and excited to go to their house for his stays with them. We feel confident leaving Scout in their care and have no reservations about recommending them to anyone else.”
