1. Mariah M.

“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”


2. Deanna F.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

“So sweet and amazingly patient with my dog! Kept me up to date on everything. Will be a repeat customer for as long as we are in the area!”


4. Kyla G.
“Kyla is quite possibly the biggest animal lover of all time. She loves all animals and tries to make them all lover her. She's watched my 3 dogs for years when we are out of town-- and one of our dogs who hates everyone has become accepting of Kyla. She goes above and beyond in making sure you know how your pets are doing...check ins and pics galore. 10/10 recommend!”


5. Jennifer A.
“Jennifer has taken care of my dogs and house multiple times when I leave on vacation. If I were to have to kennel my kids, I would not travel. Knowing that Jennifer is there to take care of them is awesome! She takes great care of the house and dogs. When I get home, they walk right by me as if I was never gone. She is a loving, caring dog lover that you will be thankful for after a relaxing vacation. 5 stars and I highly recommend, unless I need her that week!!”

19. Miah P.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs as a child. My parents told me I couldn't get one until I proved I was responsible enough to care for one. After a year of staying on top of the chores and responsibilities my parents gave me. I was finally allowed to go get my puppy and have been involved with dogs ever since! I have now done a 6 week in person dog training course. That came with basic dog first aid and nutrition. If you have any questions feel free to ask! You can find my business page at Solid Foundation Dog Training on facebook! I am currently setting all my own hour for work. I full time train dogs so i often can change my hours if needed. I would love to walk and check in on your pups to make sure they are as happy as can be. When we are not home our youngest pup is in the crate and does great. The older 2 stay in the laundry room and the hall leading to the kitchen with just a gate keeping them in there. They are fed 2 times a day morning and night. They get brushed a lot because of the shedding and they get snuggles on the couch every night. I love training and learning how to train them to do new things.
