“Amber was wonderful! She sent us several updates, including videos and pictures, was very friendly, took great care of our two girls and had great communication! We look forward to booking with her again :)”
“She has been so wonderful to be able to keep Jake last minute and keep him few extra days! She was very understanding of my situation I have going on. I appreciate it so much and am very Thankful for it! Your fur baby is good hands with her!”
“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”
“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”
About: I grew up around dogs and have been a dog Mom for almost three years now. I believe that dogs deserve a full life filled with new experiences and activities. I'm your girl if you want your pup to be active and social while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and ages. Please let me know what your dog's needs are and I will accommodate you all as best I can. I understand the pain of leaving your puppy with a stranger - rest assured, I will treat your pup with as much respect and affection as my own. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet if you would like to see if I am a good fit for your pup. I have worked remote the last few years which means your dog will rarely be without my presence during their stay. I will fit their schedule and needs in right alongside my own dog's. I have a large unfenced back yard where our dog loves to play. We are happy to crate your dog, put them on a long lead outside and do anything that makes you comfortable and assured that your pet is safe.
“Kayla and her sweet children took such good care of my dogs I think they were almost sad to return home. Lots of outdoor play and love in a family environment. Lots of pictures and updates. Dogs were cared for exactly as if they were in their own home with care taken to follow familiar routines. We look forward to using Kayla’s services again!”
“Bethany was amazing with Dax! I wasn’t worried a bit while I was on my trip!! He had the best time playing with her and her pups! Highly recommend will 100% be rebooking in the future when I need someone to watch my dog!”
“Diana and her wife did an amazing job taking care if our rambunctious babies! I let them know about how they like to eat things they shouldn't that are lying around the house and how our dog Lily likes to be an escape artist in the back yard. They took such great care of our babies that they informed me they swept up the floors thoroughly before we dropped them off and they watched them closely in the yard. Because of how well they were watching them, they were able to prevent our puppy Lily from succeeding in one of her escape attempts in their yard (she was digging up a hole, but they caught it, covered up the hole and kept her away from that side of the yard). I was able to enjoy our vacation so much more because I felt like I didn't have to worry about my babies being taken care of well. They communicated with me everyday and sent me lots of photos while we were gone. I will definitely come back to Diana and her wife when we need dog sitting for our upcoming trips.”
“Lovely experience with Emily. You could tell she has experience with animals. Very communicative and enjoyed receiving pics while away from my kitty. I am confident to leave my furry friend with her again as she was very attentive and sweet with my kitty.”
“My fur babies love staying with Kirsten! They are always excited to walk in her house and start playing with Kirsten's other pups. I never worry when my dogs are with Kirsten, she's great!! They come home obviously well cared for and "centered".”
“We had a terrific experience with Heather caring for our 2 dogs. She was quick responding to texts and sent pictures of our dogs looking very comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend Heather for pet care.”
“First off y'all are awesome!! I absolutely couldn't recommend a sitter in the area more highly. I was a little apprehensive at first because right before the big trip my boy got a UTI. Callie assured me he would be in great hands and I wouldn't have to worry about a thing. Boy was she right. I'm already looking forward to planning my next trip knowing Max will be safe and very loved!!”
“Lauren is so nice! I can’t even explain how much it meant when she sent pics to me of my Sassy while I was at work. At the time, Sassy was a brand new rescue to me, so being in a strange environment worried me. Lauren has a calming demeanor and Sassy was totally at peace while in her care. I would highly suggest Lauren anytime!!!”

“Ria is one of the most caring and compassionate people I know! She has a knack for connecting with animals and is always in tune with their needs. She has a way of making any pet feel right at home with her. She will meet them at their activity level - whether they need a 5 mile walk, a few rounds of fetch, or just some snuggle time on the couch. With her own dog, she's spent a great deal of time researching training and best care practices - she's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. Your dog is in great hands with Ria! :)”
