Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.

Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!

This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!

We’ve used this sitter multiple times, and they’ve always been reliable and caring. This time, Emma had a skin infection, so I was a bit concerned,but they handled everything really well. They made sure to apply the spray to the affected area as instructed and kept a close eye on her throughout. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being properly cared for. Emma came back happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and would definitely continue to trust them with Emma.

About: I grew up in a tropical country surrounded by animals. Naturally, learning and caring for them became my passion. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I work from home, which allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Your fur babies will be treated like family here! I live in a single-family home and provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

Christine is so good with Sparky. He is an older dog and we never worry about him while he is with Christine. She takes care of all of his needs and we can tell that he loves going there. I would highly recommend Christine.

Nicole was the absolute best sitter for our pupper! We were worried at first with introducing a new person to our Lilac as she is not always the nicest to strangers at first, but Lilac took right to Nicole and they became besties right away. Nicole is such a kind and amazing person and sent us plenty of pictures to ease our minds during our trip while they had their girl party :) . We will definitely be using her again since we know we would never have to worry. If youre looking for a sitter, Nicole is the one to go with!

Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas.

We love seeing the different parts of Hudson’s day indoors/ outdoors/ playing with new friends. We will work with Jacob again!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and backgrounds at the same time. I currently share my home with two wonderful pups—an 8-year-old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix who is calm and gentle, and a 3-year-old Pitbull mix who is playful and friendly. They are the sweetest dogs ever and have helped dogs I foster feel at home and loved. I rescued both of them as puppies and have been committed to giving them happy, healthy lives ever since. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience fostering dogs from a wide range of situations, including seniors, dogs from hoarding environments, and those who were not yet house-trained. Each dog in my care received patience, structure, and lots of love—and I’m proud to say they all went on to be successfully adopted into permanent homes. I live in a spacious townhome in a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced dog park just a short 10-minute walk away. I love going on long walks and taking my dogs to the dog park to make sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. Inside the house, your dog will have access to plenty of cozy orthopedic beds, toys for mental stimulation, and a safe, comfortable environment. Since I work from home, your dog will never feel alone—they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a calm, relaxing stay or an active, playful environment, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m currently working from home and have lots of flexibility. I walk my dogs 3 times a day in the neighborhood for exercise. There is a private fenced dog park in my neighborhood if your pet enjoys playing! I have two friendly fur babies to keep your loved ones company (in addition to my care and TLC!) There are plenty of toys for mental stimulation. We live in a townhome in a quiet neighborhood, paired with cozy orthopedic beds that enables safe and comfortable rest.

It was a pleasure connecting with Ellen and letting my dog (Olly) stay with her. She kept posting photos and updates regularly. Olly too got a partner to play with. I will always choose to go back to Ellen in future. I would recommend Ellen to any one in need. Thank you for taking care of Olly.
