“We’ve been using Lance for over four years, and he’s absolutely wonderful! He’s in our home at least once a month and always takes exceptional care of our dogs. We have English Bulldogs with specific medical needs, and Lance administers their medication properly and reliably. We fully trust him and appreciate the love and attention he gives our pets. Highly recommend!”
“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”
“We would absolutely rebook again! She gave us piece of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of, as well as our house. We were kept up to date of how they were doing and if she had any questions or concerns. House was left in great condition.”
“Rebecca stayed over night with our Great Dane who is such a diva! We had never left her over night with anyone but grandma so I was nervous. Eve had a great stay and Rebecca sent many pictures and updates! My house was also cleaner when I got home than when I left! :) We will definitely be using her again!”
“Tracy is amazing! She left our house in seemingly better condition than when we left and went above and beyond for our pups! I would recommend her to anyone 110%! She kept us updated and informed throughout the day, and sent the cutest photos of our fur babies. We are so very grateful to have had Tracy take care of our dogs, and can’t wait to have her back again!”
“We have used Kendra several times. She does a great job with our two dogs. I never have to worry, she sends photos and keeps us updated. Our dogs love her! She always leaves our house also spotless and perfect! Highly recommend!”
“Rachel is an amazing dog and house sitter. Our Meatball loves when she comes to stay with him. Our house is always left as she found it. She is a great communicator and cares for our dog like her own. She’s our go to choice!!”
“Sheri was absolutely awesome with Rocko. This was my first time leaving him since his adoption, so my anxiety was through the roof. She made it a wonderful experience and I was able to enjoy my trip.”
“Denise was absolutely amazing! By far the best person I've had watch my dog while out of town. She works from home so didn't have to leave much at all, she walked her daily for 30+ minutes, sent a picture or video & checked up on me to ensure I made it home okay. She even bought/replaced a couple of my light bulbs, lol! I will definitely be asking her first whenever going out of town. My dog & I absolutely loved her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It never mattered if the dog was mine, some one else’s or a stray, I loved them all - and still do! I’m currently working full time as a teacher. Luckily my school is a 5 min drive from my home, so getting home quickly is a perk ☺️ I do not do any after school activities, therefore when it’s 3:10 pm I’m headed home! My weekends are usually free and any holiday I am free! Your dogs home away from home 🥰 I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own to play with yours! My home is set up to accommodate any dog needs whether it be food allergies, anxiety, training, medications etc.. I’m able to do it all for your pup(s)! If needed I can continue any training done at home. Due to having 2 herding dogs I have 5 years of experience training. Some of the skills worked on have been: basic commands, potty training - ring bell, crate training, redirection training and recall. One of my dogs has extreme anxiety which has allowed me to learn different ways to train him depending on circumstances. I have rooms and spaces set up in the home to allow the dogs to escape to when they are overwhelmed. While your pet stays with me their comfortability is my priority! When it comes to any type of animal I have endless love, patience, empathy and kindness 🖤
“It’s hard to find someone you trust outside of your family and friends to care for your pets the way you do - but I can assure you that Claudette will go above and beyond! Claudette is truly amazing! I honestly can’t say enough about how incredible she is, not just with our dogs, but with our ever changing schedules as well. She not only loves animals, but holds all the qualifications needed to watch your furry loved ones while you’re away, giving you a peace of mind. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, consistent, caring, patient, flexible, and very communicative when it comes to our dog cares. She has cared for our pups on several occasions and each time she has delivered the upmost care for them - sending us updates and photos. We are so thankful to have found the perfect match in her, to love and care for our pups when we’re off at work. We 1000000% recommend her for your pet needs and services! She’s definitely someone you can trust to love your pets the way you do!”
“Tiffany was amazing!! We were nervous to leave our dogs, especially our new puppy, when we went away. She sent pictures daily to make sure we knew everything was going great! Will definitely be booking with Tiffany again!”
About: I have had pets of all shapes and sizes my whole life, from big dogs to small ones, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish and even a couple hermit crabs. Obviously, I am passionate about caring for pets! Over the years I have experience working at Petco as a dog groomer, have pet sit professionally both in my home and in others’ homes, walked dogs, and helped my children run a small yet successful pet waste removal business. I am a stay-at-home mother of 4 kids, ages 8-17. Because of this, I am available to be at home to care for your pet(s) all day. Bonus, my 4 kids also love animals! Thus, there is an endless supply of cuddles in our house! For the most part, someone is home all day and we only kennel if requested, and even then, only when we step out or if your dog prefers it when sleeping. We have a very nice fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. We have 3 dogs and a cat, although the cat usually keeps to herself in one large room of our home away from the dogs. All of our dogs are female. 2 are standard poodle mixes, about 35-50 lbs and are spayed. Our 3rd dog is a Yorkie mix and is about 5 lbs. She is just a puppy, so not spayed yet but will be soon. We typically supervise outdoor play because the size of our Yorkie for safety concerns with large birds of prey. This is great when we have furry visitors too, because we are always close by to supervise. All of our dogs are very friendly, but they do bark at new people at the door, especially our Elsa as she has a bit of anxiety around new people. Sorry in advance. Lol Typically we would set up a meet & greet 1st to see if your dog(s) are comfortable with us and our fur family slowly outside in the back yard. Our dogs are kennel trained, but usually sleep in a bed with one of our children. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in our home and always welcome to cuddle with us in bed at night too. If you prefer your dog be kenneled though that can also be arranged. Also, I only take 2-3 dogs in at once, to ensure we can give each pup the attention they deserve. I think this is very important, because at some places they focus on quantity of care, and I believe that is hard to do safely. I try to focus on quality care, as your pet’s safety and well being is always my top priority. ❤️
About: I do not have any pets, but i do regularly take care of my old roommates dogs while they are at work or out of town.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone as kind, loving, and caring as Sadie to watch over Layla and Blue. From the moment we met her, it was easy to tell she was a genuinely kind person—warm, thoughtful, and quick to connect with both us and our pups. She immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She went above and beyond in every way, always flexible and gracious with any requests we had—including helping to water our garden and keeping an eye on the house. The thoughtful updates she sent were so reassuring, and Layla and Blue looked so incredibly happy and relaxed in every photo. We came home to two joyful pups and a thriving garden. Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is never easy, but Sadie made it feel completely natural. Her warmth, flexibility, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We’re beyond grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
