Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️

Aubra was great with my fur babies and made the whole experience really easy and stress free. She kept me updated with messages and photos, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and was very communicative throughout the stay. My dog can take a little time to warm up, and she was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book Aubra again.

Tyler was very nice. Our almost 4 year old Husky Mix liked Tyler immediately. His personality helped me relax and feel comfortable with the process of hiring a house sitter. He was very good with communication, which I really appreciated. This was a meet & greet after which Tyler house sat for us for a few hours. It went really well.

Crystal was great, we would happily rebook her for any future stays with our dogs! They seemed to love their time with her, and she was very respectful of our home. Consistent communication and updates, handled the small issues that our boys created with ease, and left our home in better condition than we left it.

Samantha was very accommodating to our last-minute changes. She even made a trip out to meet Laila since we would be leaving before she first arrived. She sent a picture and messages during our time away from our fur baby. I’m so pleased with how well this worked out because for the last several years, my husband would only plan a trip away together if one of our kids was able to take of Laila. Now we have another option and will definitely be using Samantha again.

Alexis was great! We were nervous using someone we didn't know to watch our fur baby but from meeting her the first time we knew we could trust her. She took great care of our Sky and our house while we were gone. She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout out vacation and put our worries at ease. We would book Alexis again in a heartbeat!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has become second nature. Over the years I’ve worked with many rescue dogs, each with their own quirks and challenges. I’m comfortable handling everything from reactive high energy working breeds to easygoing laid back house pets. I currently work at a dog boarding kennel, where I interact with all types of dogs and continue learning every day. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra help getting around. Beyond dogs and cats, I have hands on experience with a variety of exotic and small animals, including rabbits, snakes, birds, and rodents. I’m confident with their unique care needs and know how to handle them safely and calmly. Overall, I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animal care. Your pets will be treated like my own, no matter the species. In the morning, animals are always the first priority. Their day starts with fresh food and clean water, followed by plenty of attention and reassurance so they begin the day feeling safe and relaxed. After that comes a good walk or playtime, depending on the pet’s needs, along with cleaning up any messes and making sure their space stays comfortable and tidy. Throughout the day I maintain consistent communication with the owners so they always know how their pets are doing. I monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, and any changes that may need attention. There is always time set aside for affection, enrichment, and simply being present with the animals so they feel cared for and not alone. In the evening I finish with another round of feeding, walks or play sessions, and a final check to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable for the night. Every day follows this rhythm of structure, patience, and genuine care to make sure each pet feels secure, happy, and well looked after. I will give your pets the same level of attention and care that I give my own. My goal is always to follow your preferences and routine so your pet feels secure and understood. With your guidance/ set rules I will do everything I can to keep your animals comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have one special pup (IG miraclepup_kendall) and recently lost my 1st dog, Coco, who changed my life and made me love dogs more than anything. I have parented dogs for twelve years but worked at a dog daycare for two years during the pandemic while I was temporarily out of work. This is where I was trained and learned to be a professional dog care giver. I work from home so my time is wide open and I am available when needed. Last minute additions and cancellations are ok in emergency cases. I have a large 4200 square foot fenced in yard (see pictures) and understand dog behavior/introduction from my time working at a dog daycare. I am good with whatever the fur baby is used to, whether free roam or crate. (I have a large and medium sized crate in house). I love to give pets, belly rubs, and will use treats to assist in ongoing training that the pups are receiving. I will also send you pictures and can give access to the Ring camera so you can check in on them.

I cannot recommend Katlyn enough! She took such amazing care of my dogs while we were away. From the moment we met at the meet and greet, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. She brought a notebook to take notes and was very thorough in the interview process. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure they had everything they needed—walks, playtime, snuggles, and lots of love. She also kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book again with Katlyn!

Bryan was a super dog sitter. Very friendly, good communicator and easy to work with as far as scheduling and meeting. He (and his wife) took wonderful care of my dogs. They played in their large backyard and enjoyed plenty of space in their nice house. Dogs came home happy. I highly recommend and would love to use them again!
