Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!

I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.

Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.

Annie took great care of our Golden Retriever and gave us peace of mind by sending plenty fun pics of our dog enjoying himself with his new friends. We found Annie to be a very kind lover of dogs and cats. She was also flexible with our traveling schedule so that my family can enjoy our vacation without worry. We will not hesitate to use her services again for our future sitting needs!

Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.

Deanne was awesome! We were initially concerned about leaving our fur baby for 3 weeks with someone we didn't know, but we had a "meet and greet" ahead of time and Deanne and her family put all of our worries at ease. Deanne treated Bazooka like one of her own family. She sent us updates, with pictures and kept us in the loop with how Bazooka was doing. Having Deanne take care of Bazooka made it so we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about her. When we picked Bazooka up she was happy to see us, but it was obvious she had such a good time. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, it was a good and safe environment, Deanne communicated well, and we will definitely be having Bazooka stay with Deanne again!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my fur babies received while I was away from Emily, her sons, and their pup Gertie! She's incredibly attentive and has a genuine love for animals. I received daily updates with photos, videos and notes of their daily adventures. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! She is so kind and loving to our dogs.

About: Three years kennel/shelter experience. I have trained retrievers for 10 years. My family has fostered dogs my whole life. I have also owned a wide variety of small and exotic animals. My home currently has three medium sized dogs and two turtles... With plenty of room for your babies ;) I am currently working part time. About 3 hours 2-3 times a week, so most of my time is spent at home with my animals. I have a fully fenced yard and a pool with an automatic cover. My youngest dog sleeps in a kennel and my two older sleep in bedrooms with us. I am more than willing to kennel my dogs while I am not home for your pet's comfort.

About: I have experience with dogs since a very young age, they have always truly been my best friends. I have fostering experience & have cared for mother dogs, witnessed birth, and taken care of their newborns.

Please keep in mind when requesting us, I do work full time M-F 8-4:30p and my boyfriend works full time M-Th and every other weekend until 2:30 or 3pm, so our best availability is evenings, weekends, and overnight sittings. We look forward to meeting your precious fur babies!

Rebbecca was awesome and didn’t mind me dropping off my fur baby a little earlier then expected. My Sadie had so much fun with her dogs. They were so active during the time she was there, that when I picked my over active Sadie up … she was exhausted. I’m a good way. I will definitely rebook !!!

About: In addition to my own dogs, I have also owned cats of my own in the past, giving me years of firsthand experience with feline care. This personal background fits perfectly with the routine care I provide for my sister’s animals whenever she goes on vacation four times a year. I take complete charge of her four dogs—three Miniature Pomeranians and a Goldendoodle—and have even cared for their puppies in my home on two separate occasions while she was out of town. My responsibilities for her also include looking after her cats, ensuring they are properly fed, and keeping their litter boxes clean. This extensive, hands-on experience with multi-pet households, puppies, and feline care has made me highly adept at maintaining safety, routines, and a nurturing environment for animals of all ages and types. I'm pretty open as I'm a special education teacher and off in the summer. I have free time and I'm flexible. I would love to make extra money doing what I love. I care for them as I would my own children. We are all in the same area as a family. Pets are free to roam the house and I have a fenced in yard.

Danielle took such good care of my little bug! He was super nervous after I left, but Danielle took him for a nice walk to get the jitters out and let him cuddle her and her kids (and even sent me pictures of him laying across their arms while on their laptop) and he immediately warmed up. I was so grateful she came through for me for a last minute booking. Will absolutely be bringing Archie to her again!

I knew from the moment I met Jill, that Molly and Duke would be well loved and cared for when we were away. She's warm and welcoming and definitely a dog lover! She shared some pictures of the dogs and a video of her son playing catch with Duke. They had a fun stay, no doubt! Thank you Jill. We will be back soon!

Brooklyn (and Mav) were great with our two yellow labs. Levi loved having another dog to play with and they both looked like they were right at home in all the photos Brooklyn sent. She was very accommodating and took care of both of them like they were her own. I definitely will be booking with Brooklyn again!
