Awesome experience! Eric was kind, wonderful with our pup, and kept in contact with pictures. It made us smile seeing how much fun our dog was having. So grateful!

Ruby is the best. My puppers loves going to visit her 2nd family. That is how they treat her like she is part of their family. Although I miss her I never have to worry about how she is doing because I she is well cared for. Lots of play and plenty of love. Extra bonus is my dog is exhausted for days after a stay with Ruby

Chris did a great job and was a huge help after our previous sitter was not a good match for our dog. This was not the case with Chris. Right away when we got to Chris’s house we could tell it was going to be a great match for our dog. He took the time to get to know Benji and helped him feel comfortable. Benji had a great time playing with the other animals and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was ok good hands.

Krista was great! She was flexible and sent cute updates. Finn came home a relaxed, happy boy. It looked like he had so much fun with her dogs! I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable sitter. We hope to have Finn stay with Krista every time we’re in the area!

Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!

There is not enough things to say about my dogs stay with Mike and Nicki. From drop off to pick up the communication was great, and I knew my dog was in good hands with all the exercise he was getting and pictures I got throughout the stay. I would recommend them to anyone and will be looking for them next time I need a dog sitter in the area!

Elizabeth is awesome! She was so patient and kind with my really nervous dog and went above and beyond to communicate with me and problem-solve as my pup presented her with some unforeseen challenges. I can’t imagine that there’s a better dog caregiver out there.

About: I’ve owned dogs for the last 26 years. From car rides, to hide and seek and tug of war games and cuddling, they were spoiled! Friday and Saturday’s are wide open for me as those are my days off. Your dog can relax at our house, play in our yard and go on walks. We live in a quiet neighborhood with over an acre of land for your dog to enjoy their time. Put your mind at ease when you are enjoying your time on vacation, working or headed to an appointment.

About: I am a huge dog lover<3 Caring for them is so rewarding for me. Learning their unique personalities and daily routines brings so much joy! I have cared for two Bichons for the past seventeen years. Since they both have now crossed over the rainbow bridge I am looking for a way to help others out... whether it is to take their dog for a walk during the week while they are at work or to care for them while their owners are traveling. I am mature and responsible... caring and loving your dog as much as you do. I have a special place in my heart for Senior dogs... my senior Bichon gave me so much love and caring experiences to share with others<3

About: I've had dogs in the house since I was a little girl! My boys really love dogs and have just as much energy! I want your pet to leave happy and ready to come back again! I am available on weekends, I am available on week days in the evening also. I just need to know your pets routine and can adjust as needed. I have plenty of space to walk your pet outside and can take them out as many times as needed. Our Rex sleeps with the kiddos and a wonderful snuggler and we love all this kisses and anuggles.
