“Jenevieve was more than we ever expected. She and her family treated our Suzi like one of their own. Sending pics a couple times a day made us feel so good to know we made the right decision. Suzi has found her home away from home! ❤️”
“This was the first time we’ve boarded our dogs, and we were nervous. Jessica put us at ease by doing a couple of meet and greets to see if the dogs would be compatible. One at a public place, and one at her house. She treated our dogs as if they were her own. Jessica sent us photos and updates each day. They had a blast, and we will definitely use Jessica again the next time we need to board them.”
“Always the best! Coco and I absolutely love Alice! She is always accommodating to my schedule, has great availability, takes awesome care of my girl, and my girl adores her time with her and her dog! So lucky to have found Alice 🥰”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“Casandra watched our boys for a whole week, and she did a fantastic job! She sent us tons of updates with pictures & videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she cared for our two pups like they were her own, and she clearly gave them lots of love. They had a great time! I highly recommend Casandra, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
“We’re very happy with Madison as a dogsitter. She communicates well and often with pictures and videos. She took care of our dog Penny for the day, and Penny enjoyed a walk and snuggles. Penny and Madison’s dog got along well. He was playful but knew when to back off. We’d be happy to work with her again! I definitely recommend her.”
“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”
“As always Briana and her family provided exceptional care for our Kahlo. We had a medical procedure that was scheduled on short-notice and Briana made us feel at ease knowing Kahlo was well cared for.”
“It was our dogs' first time staying with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous at first... but upon meeting, we were immediately put at ease. Our dogs had a blast and were absolutely treated with the same love and snuggles our family gives. We loved the updates, and both dogs came home ready for a long nap from lots of playtime with their new friends. We are grateful and will definitely use Mackenzie and Anthony again!! Thank you, thank you!!”
“My baby boy had a fantastic overnight with Bailee and her fur babies. It's so important that I know Tootie is comfortable and loved in my absence. I watched as Tootie entered the home. He walked around, sniffing. I saw that Tootie was comfortable. Bailee sent pictures and many comical comments. She brought many smiles to my face. Thank you Bailee for loving Tootie.”
“Amber made us feel very comfortable with leaving our dog. She sent us videos and pictures daily with updates to let us know he was doing well. It was evident. If needed, we will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Kol stayed with them for 7 days and he had such a great time! Daily walks, lots of playtime and socialization, and I got many updates as well. He had such a great time and I wasn't worried about him for a second. 5/5 would recommend”
“Crystal is amazing and I highly recommend her. She was great with Kinnick! She sent texts and pictures to keep me informed. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Kinnick seemed very happy when I picked him up. I would use Crystal again!!”
About: Hi, I’m Vanessa, a pet lover with experience caring for puppies, middle-aged pups, seniors, and cats of all kinds! 🐾 From energetic playtime to structured routines and gentle senior care, I adapt to every stage of your pet’s life. Whether they need exercise, meds, snuggles, or space, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like family and keep you updated with plenty of pics 📸 and peace of mind. Let’s make your pet’s day paws-itively perfect! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule around appointments and stays. I’m used to juggling responsibilities- between my own cats and kids in youth sports, I’ve mastered the art of time management and staying on top of routines. Because I already care for animals at home, I understand how important consistency, communication, and attention to detail are. I make caring for each pet part of my day like second nature, always ensuring they get the quality time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment tailored to their needs. I follow routines closely, keep a clean and hazard-free space, and always treat pets with kindness, patience, and respect. I take trust seriously; communicating clearly, sharing regular updates, and making sure you feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, capable hands at all times.
“Wow, can not say enough about Leah and her family! So professional and knowledgeable, gave me updates, and photos! Their dog was bigger than our puppy and they were very professional keeping them separated most of the time but let them have a little play together time after draining the bigger dog energy a bit, which again, just speaks to how well they know dog behavior! Absolutely 💯 will utilize Leah again in the future for pup sitting!”
