Our dog had a great stay at Casandra’a house! She got plenty of walks, playtime, and snuggles. I appreciated Casandra keeping us updated on how Molly was doing. Molly was so spoiled she even came home with a new toy and extra treats. Would definitely recommend Casandra and use her again.

A+ Alice was extremely responsive and accommodating to my two boys when they stayed at her! She sent pictures and updates two times a day so I was not worried at all. I had some happy boys when I picked them up!

They were so friendly and were so good to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day and he came back tired from playing with their other dogs the whole time. I would without a doubt go back to them to have my dog for the night.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Emily is a great pet sitter! She has taken care of both of my pups and my cat on multiple occasions. Her home is spacious with room for my pups to roam inside and out. She is dependable, kind, and very caring toward my pets.

About: My life has revolved around dogs for as long as I can remember. As a kid I was always the designated cat or dog sitter for my neighborhood, family, and friends. While in high school I worked at the local vet’s office and also volunteered several days a week at the animal shelter. I went to college to be a vet tech while working at Petsmart as a dog trainer, and later worked in the field as a vet tech. I made a career change a couple years ago and have been missing all of the extra animals I used to interact with on a daily basis. Your dogs will be in excellent, loving, and experienced hands with my fiancée and I! My fiancée and I both work full time Monday through Friday, however, my fiancée works from home several days a week. We both have weekends off and regular hours during the week, so your dogs (and ours) will never be alone for too long! We have a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. If your dog or dogs is not a fan of others, we are experienced and feel comfortable with crating and rotating to keep everyone safe and happy

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

Our dog just spent another A+ time with Molly. He's excited to go over to her place, which tells you how well she treats him, and her updates give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacations. Our little guy comes home so happy. We're grateful.
