“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”

“Kylie was great with our 9 month old puppy Winnie during our wedding weekend! He had never stayed with anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about leaving him but Kylie made sure Winnie felt loved, taken care of, and at home! She took him on multiple walks and had loads of Toys for him to play with. She sent us a bunch of photos to keep us updated during our weekend which kept us at ease! Winnie made himself at home and he even wanted to go back in the car with Kylie when he was dropped off. 😊 We will definitely use Kylie as a trusted sitter again!”

“Hailey and Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my dachshund for the weekend! They sent pictures and updates and I could tell he was having a great time. Would definitely recommend and book them again! Thank you!!”

“Stef was amazing with our puppy of 18 weeks!! Her prompt response and excellent communication even before we met was so welcoming and set our minds at ease. When we arrived, she greeted us with a smile and great energy! Stef cared for our puppy like he was her own. She sent wonderful photos periodically through his overnight stay, which we loved seeing. Most definitely will schedule with Stef again, in fact we’re looking very soon!”

“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”

“Jacks had a great time with his Rover family. He was well taken care of! They sent me daily photos and videos of Jacks. I highly recommend Nathan and Jenna they are great!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for many years and have a lab-corgis mix who is two, her name is scoob, and she loves to play with other dogs. Can provide lots of walks, play time, and training! I work from home on Monday and Friday and am home most weekends. Tuesday through Thursday I work in the office, but can still watch dogs that are able to be left alone for 8 hours. I have an unfenced yard, and a quiet neighborhood for walks. I can crate dogs during the times away, or leave them to roam depending on preference. I have attended an 18 week dog training course and am experienced in commands/training.
“Marie was so great with our puppy while we were out of town! She sent updates throughout and was really engaged in his care. She kept him on his schedule and kept him active as well. Rocky loves Marie and her own pups as well. We are so happy to have found Marie and will be booking again. Thank you!”

“Samantha was great with my 3 fur babies. It was evident that my dogs loved her when I picked. them up because they kept running to her and to us. She was great to send pictures and videos while we were gone to let us know that they were doing great and enjoying the big backyard. I would definitely use Samantha again to watch our dogs.”
“Susan and her husband cared for Barney like he was their own. They are both very responsible, caring and loving dog owners that Barney was more than comfortable with. Their dog, Jonah, was very well behaved and super friendly. Jonah and Barney were best buds within the first couple minutes of meeting each other. They went on a few walks and played a bunch in their fenced in backyard. Barney was tired out and a happy dog when we came to pick him up :) I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a trusting and caring dog sitter.”

“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”


“I wish I could give 10 stars. Every time Yeti has stayed with Mark and Betty, he has a great time, is well taken care of, and we receive a good amount of pictures and correspondence. We love booking with them!”


“Mark and Vicky are the best. They sent so many pictures everyday and gave us updates throughout the day for Mushu's entire stay. They have exceeded our expectations and we know where our fur-baby will stay in the future! Thanks Mark and Vicky!!! Love, Caroline, Nick, and Mushu!!”

“We felt our boys were in great hands with Jackie and her family. This was our first time leaving our dogs with a stranger, but the photos and daily updates helped to ease our minds. 100% recommend!!”

“Amazing! Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She has great communication and sent a lot of pictures each day. Our dog loved her! We felt very comfortable the entire week and will definitely book her again.”

“Anita was great with my quirky little Yorkie. She was very understanding about his personality, and her home is really mellow which is great for a dog that's anxious when their owner is away. Her poodle, Fern, is very sweet, too.”
“WOW where do I start as words are hard to find for a dog sitter that cares and takes care of your dog like her very own! I have used Mary's services previously with amazing results and so glad she was available again for our trip ! I get continued updates with pictures throughout each day providing me piece of mind about my fur baby! I cannot say enough of her professionalism, attention care, love and affection provided when I cannot be available to give it ! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a worry free environment for your four legged family member! Thank you so much Holly Winning 🙂”

“I felt so great about leaving my pup with Jan. She took such excellent care of her: Jan gave frequent updates, made sure she was exercised, loved-on, and comfortable. I could not have been more at ease leaving my little mop dog. Very professional interactions as well. Thanks!”

“Sam was great and took good care of my dog with love and care. Because of her background in veterinary, she was able to diagnose my dog was liking himself and after talking to me she gave him the proper medication and put a collar on him. When I went to pick him up he was very happy and healthy… which makes me really happy. I also like the fact that Zeca was the only dog with her because he is not very friendly with other dogs around. Sam, thank you so much!!”
