“Thank you Amanda and Brandon for treating Marshall like one of your own! I appreciated the daily updates, and Marshall had such a great time he didn’t want to leave. Will definitely book again”
“Hillary was amazing. She is organized, thoughtful and I knew Ace was going to be in great care while I was away. I would highly recommend Hillary especially if you have small dogs where boarding is a little more stressful. She’s fantastic and I will be using her again in the future!”
“Emily took such great care our pupper Chai! Sent us pics and videos of our girl all during the trip. Would definitely recommend her to care for you doggy!”
“Deanna was great with Bailey. She sent us daily pictures and updates which was very much appreciated. Bailey was really happy with her care.”
“Ashliegh was fantastic with our puppy. Couldn’t ask for better care and trust. She constantly sent us pictures and kept us update on how our puppy was doing. She is the best!”
“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
“They took great care of my active dog Honey and sent updates and videos while I was away for that extra peace of mind. Thanks Michelle and Justin for the wonderful love and attention you gave Honey while we were away!!!”

“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! Leaving my dog, for the weekend is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. From the moment I dropped Kevin off, I knew he was in good hands. Samantha went above and beyond in caring for kevin. I especially appreciated the pictures and videos she sent – it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. It really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend knowing He was being so well looked after. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog watcher. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“I’m always hesitant about leaving my old boy with anybody. He’s a quirky old man set in his ways. All my worries were put to rest because Jill took all my concerns seriously and addressed all of them. They even took him to a block party which I’m sure he loved because he’s a nosy old boy too.I will be very comfortable leaving my mutt with her again.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Alecia and her family. They welcomed our 10-year-old German Shepherd and treated her like one of their own. Alecia kept me updated throughout, which gave me total peace of mind. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—just wonderful people all around!”

About: I've had dogs for the majority of my life. Over the past 20 years I've owned a cocker spaniel and 2 malshi. At one point I bread my Malshis and Mom had 5 beautiful puppies who I successfully placed in loving homes. I currently have one malshi who I absolutely adore. I have been a dogsitter for the past 3 years for a co-worker who travels a lot for work. I have experience with small dogs, muts and golden retrievers. I live in a lovely suburb ideal for dog walking. I also have a sizeable back yard for play. My dog loves the company of other pets. I currently work full time and work a hybrid schedule between the office and home. I have lots of dog toys for play, dog snacks and dog beds for sleeping. I have a good sized back yard with a leader for small dogs. My neighborhood is dog friendly and a great place to walk dogs. I can crate your dog if needed.
