6. Jaz b.
About: I have been caring and taking care of dogs for over 15 years. I live a active lifestyle so walking, dog parks, and playing with the pups is just fun for both of us. I am a full time mom that enjoys children and dogs. I have a 15 year old and 9 year old who also enjoy dogs. I own a lab mix which is friendly and open to a playmate. I am flexible with scheduling, and needs of your pup. I have plenty of yard space for play time and walking. Crates and personal dog items are welcome, however I am happy to crate your pup if need be.
7. Emily K.
“We were leaving our beloved 'children' in someone else's care for the first time so both our expectations and stress levels were very high. We arranged a meet and greet with Emily and as soon as we met her we knew she was a perfect match for our gang. She came bearing treats and immediately won over even our shy girl with her kindness, patience and yummies. Emily took the time to learn each pup's individual personality, eating habits, sleeping habits, playing habits etc. While on our short trip we received frequent updates and photos. She even created mini training sessions for our very vocal boy and showed us how to continue the training. Our pups thrived in her care. We could not be happier with her stay! Bug, Squatch and Gracie say Thank You Very Much Emily, for taking such good care of us!”
8. Regan W.
“This was our first time leaving our German Shepherd so we were nervous. He isn't always open to making new friends. From the minute Regan walked in the house, he liked her. Regan did a wonderful job. We will be using her again. Highly recommend her!”
9. Gabby V.
“Gabby is always so attentive to detail! One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes which comes with a host of problems and I was so anxious to leave him, especially after a recent trip to the emergency vet. Gabby house sat with both of my dogs and handled my plethora of notes/instructions. She took Knuckles for a walk, gave him his insulin, and even did some things outside of taking care of the dogs - handled some package deliveries and brought in our trash cans.”
10. Kyla G.
“Thank you for the last minute booking for my daughters wedding! I really appreciated knowing my dogs were at home, comfortable and well cared for!”
11. Nora K.
“Nora did a great job, would definitely recommend her services to anyone. The dogs and house were well taken care of”
12. Katherine M.
“Katherine did great with our dogs who are both large. She walked them and sent updates often. I think she even vacuumed dog hair up! Will definitely book again.”
13. Lenny G.
“Our dogs and our home were well cared for while we were gone. Lenny came to meet the dogs twice before we left, so they would know and be comfortable with her. Even our most nervous dog took to her immediately. We were very relaxed knowing everything was in capable hands.”
14. Madelyn K.
“Madde watched our animals and house and everything went perfect. Will ask again next time we leave time.”
15. Samantha H.
“Samantha was great! I have a high energy German Shepard and she kept him busy the entire time I was away. She kept me updated daily on how he was doing which is always reassuring. She also spent plenty of time with him during the day and all through the evening/night. Id highly recommend Samantha for anyone looking for a great pet sitter”
16. Kyndal M.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and own a couple myself! I have watched pups for my neighbors, family, and friends and it is truly my favorite thing to do. I have experience with health issues, mobility issues, senior and puppy care, deaf and blindness, etc. I’m currently a nanny and student which doesn’t normally affect my daily drop ins or walks. Other than that I try to live a fairly active lifestyle so I enjoy taking pups to private places outdoors or even just going for a walk or jog around a neighborhood. When I house sit I like to spend as much of my time at the house with them as possible that way they get to keep a close routine to what they normally would. I keep the pups daily routine as close as possible to what their owners would. I like to provide lots of exercise and time being spoiled. Messes get cleaned up immediately, if needed pup will be bathed and groomed, if the pup sleeps on their owners bed then I don’t mind some cuddles at night!
17. Brianna D.

18. Bevan A.
“Bevan has developed a good relationship with our Bernedoodle, Bailey, after two stays with her. He was very responsive to questions, and reaponsible!”
19. Cassie M.
“I am one of 'those moms' leaving a whole page of notes, tips, suggestions, etc., but my boys are my everything...so...I was so happy to find Cassie! She was great with the boys - sending lots of pictures of their play and rest times. She took great care of the house too during her overnights. We've already booked two more weekends away knowing our boys and our home are in great hands with Cassie!!”
20. Alexis N.
“Alexis is great! We loved receiving all the pictures of our pups while we were away ? would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur babies”
