“My first time ever boarding my cat for the day. I was very hesitant and know it’s not the best for cats however had an emergency come up that required this to be my only option for the day. She was timely with response, handled everything with care and worked with me on pick up as this changed on my end as well. I highly recommend!”

“We love Lauryn! She takes such good care of Molly and Molly is always so excited to see her! It gives me so much peace of mind to know my fur baby is in good hands!”


“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.
“Our Marlo enjoyed his time with Piper. They had a spacious fence back yard. We received daily photos of his stay. Will be using her services again for our summer vacation.”

“This is my second time booking with Callie and she is just as sweet as ever! She is very professional and always takes such good care of my pup. With the pictures and updates Callie sends I can tell that my dog is just having the time of her life there. I couldn’t imagine booking with anyone else!”

“Ms. Brenda is so patient and has such a great spirit. She did an awesome job with my puppy Ceazer. It was his first stay with her. She updated us with photos and of his well being. When we picked him up, he was happy and energetic as ever! Thanks again💜”


“She was accommodating and very flexible with our schedule change. Shadow felt right at home and this was her first visit here. We will definitely use her again and not worry about our four legged little girl”

“Ann did a wonderful job with taking care of our beloved Bella. She is a dog of 10 years and has some special needs with taking medicine.when we picked Bella’s up she seemed very happy.which tells me she was well taken care of. Ann also sent us pictures every day which was a great piece of mind for me. Thank you very much Ann. We definitely recommend her and will leave Bella with her again.”


“Allie and Chipper did a great job taking care of Gracie. We looked forward to the pictures she sent of Gracie playing with Chipper and getting belly rubs from Allie. We will definitely ask Allie to keep Gracie next time we need a sitter.”

“Great guy. My cat was well taken care of. I received daily updates. He picked up my cat and delivered her to my home, which was a great support. It was my cat’s first time being away for seven days and she was safe at Reich’s home.”

“Truly trusted sitter! My dog had a great time and warmed up very easily with Victoria. Everyone wants their dog or cat taken care of and Victoria does just that. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”

“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”

“Loved coordinating with Anna to care for my dog as I went out of town. My doggy sitter cancelled on me last minute and Anna was very accommodating with my urgent request. She made sure to communicate any concerns with me in a timely manner. Would book with her again :-)”


About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.

“The best dog boarder we've had, she took extra special care of my girls I'm sure they felt like they were at home. Lots of space that's fenced in so they were able to play and be safe we'll definitely be seeing her again. Thank you again for being so welcoming.”

“Robin was the best! She watched our pups while we got married. I couldn’t have imagined a better sitter for such a busy weekend! She was constantly sending us updates with pictures and videos! She made my dog mom anxiety basically non existent. If you’re deciding between sitters to go with CHOOSE ROBIN!!! My dogs were so happy and well cared for!! She was truly the best!!! Couldn’t be happier”
