“Julia was great! There was easy communication and flexibility for pick up and drop off. She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure our dog was well cared for!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”
“I felt like my dog Polly was in great hands with Briana and her family. I got pictures every day showing her having a great time with the family and other dogs. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Nancy and her husband took very good care of our 2 year old Max. She sent cute pictures and kept me updated. They have a safe n cozy place I am so thankful I found another home for max:-)) Thank you Nancy!”
“Nancy was great with our dog. She has two dogs of her on and we set up a time before to meet her dogs where to make sure they got along. Nancy had a great set up at the house with a fenced in back yard and allowed our dog to sleep anywhere her wanted even in the bed with the other dogs. She sent daily pictures and updates which were nice to see. I would recommend her to take care of your dog.”
“Joey is absolutely wonderful! Phenomenal care of my two GSD Ladybug and Dante. Very kind, knowledgeable regarding pet care and super responsive. I was constantly receiving updates about my dogs and they were calm and tired when I picked them up. I cannot recommend her enough! She is one of the best sitters!”
“Tracee and her family did a fantastic job taking care of Gracie! They were all very communicative, caring and accommodating. Gracie already cannot wait to go back!”
“jacqueline was fantastic and I have already booked her again. She was very responsible and also set us many pictures which we loved! I look forward to working with her again. Theo loved her!!!”
“Liliya and her family were great with Sophie. This was Sophie’s first experience staying with a sitter so I was a bit nervous how she would do. During Sophie’s stay Liliya sent many pics and updates about Sophie’s routine. This really put my mind at ease and Sophie seemed very content. I also love that Liliya, her husband and two young kids played a role in the sitting which means Sophie got lots of attention. I highly recommend Liliya! I will be using her again next time I travel.”
“My dog Simba had a great time at daycare! They were caring, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the day. Simba came home happy and tired — always a good sign! Highly recommend!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Phoebe was great with Kirk! We need a sitter for the holidays, so we did a trial night with Phoebe beforehand. She gave us multiple updates during the stay, and seemed very attentive to Kirk. We’re very thankful to have found a reliable and loving place for Kirk when we’re away! We’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
“Great experience leaving our senior pup with Sandra. She was super responsive and asked detailed questions to ensure our pup was well cared for. She also sent a note each day with pics. She really made us feel comfortable leaving him with her and we will board with her again!”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
“Mary took my dog Rocky in last minute and had such a positive attitude. Rocky seemed to be very well taken care of. We appreciated the photo updates that Mary sent each day. I would definitely recommend Mary and will use her again in the future!”
