“Donna was absolutely wonderful with Fiona! 🐾 She gave her great care and attention the entire stay, and I could tell Fiona felt right at home. Donna kept communication clear and friendly, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”

“Kelly did an absolute above & beyond job with our dog!! Extremely sweet, responsive, and flexible! She sent us multiple photos every day that clearly showed how much love and care he was getting in her home. She was also flexible when we needed to change our pickup and dropoff times! Highly highly recommend Kelly!!!”

“Again, Christina and crew did a great job taking care of our dog, Bruno! Sent videos and pics daily so we could be reassured he was enjoying himself in their care. Thank you!!!🐶❤️”

“Denise is the best! I was dreading leaving my dog and Denise reassured me before and during shortie’s stay. She sent me many updates. Shortie had a BLAST!!!!! I feel so much better now knowing that there is someone I can trust leaving shortie with. Thank you so much for taking care of Shortie!!!!!”

“Celine is excellent! Duke Johnson is a big boy, and some people would be hesitant to take care of him. Not Celine. She was patient with him (Duke can be a little needy). She took him on plenty of walks, getting him the fresh air and exercise he needed. She also sent pictures, communicating enough that I felt updated on how Duke was doing, but not so much that I felt annoyed. Duke was obviously very happy spending time with her, and I would definitely book her again without hesitation. I would absolutely recommend booking Celine if you need someone to look after your pet! 🐾”

“Lauren was amazing! She responded to our booking request incredibly quickly and stayed in constant communication throughout the entire stay. We loved receiving regular updates and photos. She kept our dog active, and truly treated her like she was her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”


“This was the first time my dog stays in a sitter's home while I went on a 10-day vacation out of the country. I'm very pleased that Jesse and his son Christopher took good care of my dog. We were able to communicate during my trip using the Rover app and also I could see my dog on screen using Skype video call. Thanks to Jesse and his family, now I feel more comfortable leaving my dog behind when I'm out of town.”

“Our pup Azalea had the best time with Emily! We don't leave her often and it is stressful to try to find someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby like their own. Emily made Azalea feel right at home and she had a wonderful few days hanging out with her and her dog Gertie! We appreciated getting photo updates about how Azalea was doing and loved that Azalea had access to a fenced-in backyard. We can't recommend Emily enough!!”

“Shannon was amazing with our two high energy pups! Shannon sent photos and videos, was very communicative and loved our pups like her very own! We will absolutely book with her again.”

“Cooper seemed right at home with Tanya and Rosie. I greatly appreciated her being available for a last minute booking and a quick meet and greet to make sure the pups got along well. Will definitely reach out next time we are in town!”

“There’s not many people I trust when it comes to my 9 month old fluffy Frenchie, but gratefully Marion is now one of them! It was a last minute decision to bring my puppy to Carmel for a wedding & I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. Marion constantly updated me with cute pictures & videos of my pup having the best time with all the other doggies 💕 Thankful for a mom’s weekend out knowing she was in the best care!”

About: I love animals, staying active and being outside! I have a 4.5 year old Aussie Doodle named Olli. My pup is well adjusted, playful, loving and active. Long walks and jogging are the daily activities that keep up moving together. I am a reliable dog mom, and am looking to open up our home to hosting other furry babies on a part time basis. Making sure that my pup stays active, happy and healthy is my top priority. Activities throughout the week range from getting two long walks in per day OR heading out for a good length, decent paced jog to get the morning started off right. My dog is my child, so she is generally by my side if I am not away at work. The day starts off with a lap around the block, followed by breakfast/enjoying the start of the morning. From there we go on a 2-3 mile walk around the neighborhood. Back home for some relaxing, a bit of play in between, dinner, then finish off with another good walk before settling in for the evening.
“Elena took care for my mini-schnauzer for 4 days and everything was absolutely amazing! I received lovely daily updates and pictures, and Mikki looked calm and happy when I was picking him up. Thank you very much! Next stay is already booked!”

“I can’t say enough good things about my dogs care with Marta! The communication was more than I could ask for with multiple updates and photos per day. She also made sure my dog got plenty of exercise with dog parks and walks and she treated him like her own while he was in the home. This is more than a pet parent could ask for. We will definitely continue to use her services.”

“Everything was great. We had to postpone to another day due to weather and Kristin was flexible and understanding. Great communication before and during. Kristin sent pics of our dog and he seemed happy!”

“Angie and Samantha are great! My cat was very happy at their house and was given lots of love. I was sent photo updates daily and knew he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and plan to board with them again in the future!”

“Brian is such a fantastic sitter. He’s incredibly caring, attentive, and proactive. We were mid-camping trip and my dogs were sick and struggling when I dropped them off at Brian’s. He gave them extra attention, kept me up to date with their health, and went the extra distance. It felt like I had left them with family. Thank you Brian!”
