“These folks are simply wonderful. My pup loves nothing more than running in the woods and rough housing with good natured pups, and she had this in abundance here. This is a house of true animal lovers. The communication was great, my dog felt safe and like part of the family, and she came home exhausted and happy. You guys are the best!!”
“Brittany was able to answer many questions and provide a meet and greet prior to watching Bean. I had already met with 5 other sitters who weren't the right fit. Brittany came prepared to also ask me questions to Better understand how to best care for Bean. Lima Bean had a great stay even with thunderstorms present which causes her the most anxiety. She was spoiled and even came home with a cute Bandana. Brittany understood how important it was for me to receive multiple updates a day that encompassed pictures. This eased my mind that she was doing well. I would definitely recommend Brittany due to her pet knowledge and friendly personality.”
“Bree had a wonderful experience at Jeff's home. He and his wife were very nice and accommodating. I received pictures of Bree everyday. We will definitely use Jeff again!”
“My wife and I had the birth of our first child scheduled, and last minute we decided to have someone board our smallest dog Icarus. Within 10 minutes of messaging Scott and Amanda they called me and told me to drop my little buddy off. They took such amazing care of him… Everyday they sent me text messages, pictures, videos; they walked Icarus, their kids played with him, their Lab Walter hung out with him. I even dropped Icarus with a bit of a stomach ache and they made sure he didn’t over eat and slowly fed him to make sure he was OK. One the day we were to pickup Icarus my wife and I had to stay at the hospital longer and last minute I asked if they could watch him for 2 more days and they said “no problem at all”. Scott and Amanda are absolutely amazing dog sitters, and they’re even better people.”
“Ms. Vera took our baby Blitz in when we were really anxious about leaving our dog with someone else. It was our first time boarding him, so we probably had more separation anxiety than the dog. She was very reassuring, provided plenty of updates. She’s super hospitable. You can tell she loves the doggies. There was almost always another dog present to keep Blitz occupied, which is good because that extra socialization is just what he needed. Since the 757 is home, I will always bring Blitz to Ms. Vera to be cared for when I’m back in town.”
“Great place, great family, and our dogs love this place. It’s like doggie summer camp!!! Always gives great daily updates and pictures which reassure us that our pups are enjoying their vacation as we enjoy ours!”

About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.
“Lora was very sweet and took very good care of our Rottweiler. We were very hesitant because of a previous experience with another sitter but she was reassuring and sent frequent updates. She is very experienced and has a great routine that ensured our dog got all his energy out. Highly recommend!”
