“As always, Deborah is Awesome! I can tell Harley loves being with her. He's perfectly at home. I don't know what I would do without her! Thanks for another great stay, Deborah♡♡♡♡♡”
“My dogs were so relaxed when we came to get them after 6 days. Laurie sent pictures to keep us updated on how they were doing. This helped us enjoy our time away from them. She was so kind. I would highly recommend her!”
“Despite fairly short notice (the sitter we'd expected to use became unavailable), Cory was very flexible and easy to work with. It was obvious at the meet & greet that Molly was going to be in good hands and fit in fine with Cory's own pets. He sent daily update messages and lots of pics, which put me at ease being out of state during Molly's stay. We will definitely consider rebooking with Cory for future trips!”
“We are very happy with the care our Dachshund mix, Sophie received from Lisa and Dennis. Our girl is very timid and not friendly with strangers. They worked with her and in the short time she was with them, started to open up a bit. We will definitely try to schedule with them in the future if the need arises!”
About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.
“Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!”
“Incredible stay for our boy! Thanks for helping us out of a jam when we were in town. Samantha was easy to reach and kept us updated with photos of Cooper throughout his overnight. Excellent rating. 5 stars is not enough.”
“Clare was amazing with our girl. She sent photos and updates. Was willing to be patient with Daphne with it being her first ever trip away from home and being an older dog she can be standoff ish and temperamental. She was great with making sure Daphne got her medication and found ways to make Daphne feel at home with the cold weather and quick walks. We’d definitely hire Clare again.”
“My dog Nugget has been staying with Scott & Jess for a few years now. THEY ARE WONDERFUL!! They always provide updates and are very flexible with schedules. My dog is always excited to go see them. 10/10 recommend them!”
“Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.”
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.
“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”
“Our yorkie-poo LOVED Cindy! She was the perfect Rover for him. She spoiled him and treated him as her own fur baby. It was nice having a Rover who focuses her attention on one dog at a time in her home, so we didn’t need to worry about how he would interact with unfamiliar dogs. We felt very confident in her care and trusted her as she is a long term resident in the community. She also sent some cute pictures of our Franklin! Thank you, Cindy! Highly recommend especially for little dogs who need extra attention. We will definitely use Cindy again. 🐕🦺”
“She was very accommodating and great communication. We had just one of our pups with her and If we are ever back in the area we would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Great yard and relaxed area. If you are looking for a person in this area you will not be disappointed.”
