Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!

Albert was fantastic! Not only did he take my Ollie O as a last minute booking when a friend cancelled on me last minute, he took Ollie on when he was already booked! It was wonderful to be able to not worry while I was away on my trip! Ollie was happy & loved spending time with Albert! I will absolutely be re-booking with Albert in the future!

Our two pups had the best time with Margaret. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew about all of their daily activities and how they were doing. We felt very comfortable with the dogs being in her care. We would definitely recommend Margaret to others in need of a dog sitter.

Maggie took both my pups with wildly different personalities and they had the BEST time. They immediately took to her and my older Pom with separation issues happily followed her into her home without a backwards glance. After the first check-in my dog mom worries were put at ease and we were able to enjoy our weekend away. I can even swear the pups came back getting along even better!! Will definitely book her again!

Samantha was a great host for my senior lab. It was so easy to communicate with her and she was very available throughout the stay and prior. She sent me updates and gave me great peace of mind while i was apart from my pup. I would recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a responsible and caring host for their furry children.

About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of dogs—from puppies to seniors. Your dog will never go home with worse manners after staying with me! Every pup gets one-on-one attention, enrichment, and plenty of daily playtime. I’m home the majority of the week, which means your dog gets lots of company, cuddles, and care! I’m happy to board your sweet pup anytime you need me. I’ve got a fully fenced yard and a goofy young playmate who loves making new dog friends! Your pup will enjoy tons of zoomies, sniffing, and social fun. At night, everyone snoozes safely in their crates—but don’t worry, I’m always on “midnight potty duty” for puppies and seniors who need a quick outing!

Laura is amazing. She owns several small dogs, and has a lot of experience with senior & special needs dogs. She immediately put us at ease during the meet & greet, which she offered to do prior to Molly's stay to make sure we were comfortable w/ her & her home (and to see how Molly would do with her dogs). During Molly's stay, she sent us frequent pics, videos & updates, which was fantastic. She's competent, friendly, & reliable. We will definitely be bringing Molly back the next time we need boarding.

Kania is a very caring dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving my dog with a new person for a week but Sparky couldn't have been happier with Kania and liked playing with her own dog. Sparky came home happy but tired! I would highly recommend Kania if you're looking for a dog sitter.

We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough to others!

Anna took care of our 2 senior boxes for 2 days while we were on vacation. Normally we leave them with trusted family members while we travel, but our daughter had plans and could not keep them in her care. Anna is the first pet sitter outside family who has kept them in her home. She cared for them as if they were her very own. They settled in easily and got along famously with Anna's fur babies. I highly recommend Anna to anyone needing to board their pet outside their home.

This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!

He took wonderful care of our lil Roxy, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which we so appreciated :) She’s 15 years old and can sometimes be a little skiddish, but she took right to him and he made her feel right at home. He’s a great dog sitter and was very kind and caring, will definitely be booking with him again!

Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.
