“They are very sweet! We got pics of our dog everyday from them and were very prompt about responding to any questions/concerns throughout the time our dog was boarded with them.”
“Pam and Michael were wonderful! They are clearly animal lovers and I trust they took care of our dog as their own. They sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. Our dog came home tired from playing and very happy.”
“De’Andra was amazing and sent pictures all throughout the day for this anxious dog mom! Super communicative and couldn’t have asked for a better person to look out and play. Walter enjoyed himself and made a new furry friend, Crosby, as well!”
“The kitties’ stay couldn’t have gone better. Chloe and Cooper were in good hands with Anton and his family. I received updates every evening complete with photos and a video. My Cooper even left Anton pet his belly, which was amazing 🤩. We would highly recommend Anton to anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“Sarah is an amazing dog sitter! She will give your dog love and the very best care you could ask for. I feel great about leaving my dog with her and my dog comes home so happy.”
“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”
“Great service!!! Great personality! Sent pictures and videos. Lu Lu seemed happy and very well cared for when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend her and will book with her again.”
“Kathy took great care of my cat! It was my cat Lydia's first time staying somewhere new, and she made herself right at home at Kathy's. Kathy was very attentive and responsive, and Lydia loved watching the birds on the deck! I would definitely recommend Kathy and would book her for Lydia again.”
“Jonathan and Dana were wonderful! This was our first time leaving Ritz with someone other than family. They were so helpful and kind and loved on him! They sent me pictures and kept me updated and I was so appreciative!”
“Jenna was very welcoming as soon as we met her. She gave us a lot of photos and kept us updated when we had questions. We knew they took care of our dog well when she didn’t want to leave with us immediately. We’ll definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Josie took wonderful care of our dog for five days. My request was last minute. She was very accommodating. She sent photos and updates every day. I would definitely trust her anytime with my pup.”
“Samantha is excellent to work with- couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She frequently gave updates and pictures which I loved! We will absolutely be boarding with her again!”
“Excellent! We have a lab husky that doesn’t play nice with others. Joanna did excellent taking care of him even with having cats and dogs of her own. She keeps you updated and Luka had no issues. She also has a yard to let them spend some time outside which I love. She was very accommodating to pick up and drop off times which made our road trip stress free. Would definitely request her again if needed!”
“We are so grateful that we found Kaitlin! She treated our Frankie like he was her own. She sent tons of updates and pictures, which made being apart from him much easier. Our boy came home exhausted from how much fun he had. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Jack and his family were so great to our pup. We were so nervous to leave him with a sitter so soon, but Jack eased our concerns often. He was very engaged and sent lots of photos/updates. We are so thankful he was able to help us and will happily bring our pup back in the future.”
About: I have worked with animals for a long time. I have a degree in biology and psychology for animal training and behavior. I worked previously in a zoo setting, as well as offering dog training classes through a pet store. I’m trained in positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home with a flexible schedule. We have one English bulldog in our home and I would love the opportunity to visit with your pets on an as needed or regular basis. If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me about my history/experience or any specific needs you may have. Thanks for reading and your interest! I work from home so I’m always looking to get some fresh air and take a break! I can walk dogs or check in during the normal work day. Currently I’m offering dog walks and check ins during the week. I will follow all of your instructions and be sure to send you an update! We are looking for one dog to offer doggy daycare weekly in our home. My husband and I are both WFH and we would love host a dog (must be okay with dogs and kids) during the workweek!
“Sarah and Tovia were wonderful! They sent plenty of photos and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them, and will certainly rebook again! Thank you both so much!”
“Bruce just spent the weekend with Vivian and I think he had even more fun than we did! Loved the photos and videos she sent to let us know how things were going. Will certainly book with her again.”
