Bonni is wonderful with Spike. She's patient and understanding of my old guy. This is important since he's deaf and nearly blind. We trust her absolutely.

Debbie was the perfect sitter for my dog. She was very responsive from inquiry and meet and greet to booking through boarding and pickup. She treated My dog like one of her own. My dog who is normally nervous when meeting new people and dogs took right to Debbie and her dogs. Whether looking for boarding or just day care I would recommend her. I will be using her services in the future. Thanks Debbie for taking care of BeBe!

First time leaving fur babies for a whole week. Rebecca took excellent care of them! She sent pictures and they looked like they were having such a great time! I will definitely consider leaving my babies with her again!

About: I’ve grown up with many cats (tabbies, calicos, and black cats) and dogs (pit bulls) throughout my childhood. I’m very familiar with environments that involve pets. I’m also known to be very punctual, have friendly and positive attitude, and pay excellent attention to detail! I’m a 22 year old young adult and I work part time as a caregiver! I live with my fiancé who also works as a caregiver but we have opposite schedules, so there will always be a person in the place to look after your pet. I work Fri-Monday from 9am to 5pm. I may be out of the house once a day for a hour or two to run errands. Besides that, I’ll be available to keep an eye on your furry friends! :) I live in a 650 sqft apartment within a gated community! The apartment complex has a small outside pet area with other sidewalks and grass to enjoy. I can also provide food and toys if needed!

Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!

Quinley has been taken care of by Shell twice now. Shell takes very good care of her and I know I don’t have to worry while I’m gone. I love that Quinley gets to play with other dogs and they have indoor/outdoor access. Quinley was super excited to go and happy when I picked her up. I will definitely keep using Shell.

Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!

I can’t say enough good things about the care my dogs received. I had to leave my three very anxious dogs overnight during a stressful move, and she went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and comfortable. She didn’t just watch them, she truly cared for them, paying attention to their needs and giving them patience and reassurance. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me real peace of mind during a chaotic time. I picked them up calm and well cared for, which says everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially if your pets need extra love and attention.
