About: What sets me apart? I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience, a calm home environment, and a deep love for animals, I focus on consistency, comfort, and clear communication. I maintain your pet’s routine, send regular updates, and ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. We also do late night walks and play time. It’s my full time job! I board dogs and do daycare at home and go to peoples houses for drop ins and we also do overnights! The dogs have their own room dedicated to them, safe from being able to get into anything. We also have cameras to be able to check on dogs at all times. In a clients home we maintain calmness with fun and spend ample time with them while owners are away.

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.

“Sally had our dog for an overnight stay and was wonderful! From the very moment we felt at ease leaving Theo with her. She was very kind and reassuring had all the things a dog would want or need. Highly recommend letting her care for your fur baby.”


“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”


“Will and Bibiana were amazing! Very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. Aldo and Naxos had a great time playing in the backyard and enjoyed their walks. They are worn out from all the play time!”


“Enzo had a great time playing with Samantha’s pups. He slept all evening after I picked him up and I could tell he missed his new doggy friends. She said he even ate some which is great because he doesn’t always do that when we are away.”


“Jamie cared for our dogs while we were out of town, and she is fantastic. She sent a ton of pictures so we could see what they were up to. It looks like she walked and played with our dogs the whole weekend. When we picked them up from her house, they were calm and happy. We will definitely ask Jamie to take care of our dogs again. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Jamie is truly wonderful!”


“Jaz was so awesome!! I cannot say enough on how kind and accommodating Jaz was for Stella during a busy holiday weekend. Please book with her if you are in need, you won’t regret it! 🤗”


“Laura has gone above and beyond, even accepting Lacie on Thanksgiving while hosting dinner at her home. She has always been available when given only a few days notice and sends me updates and pictures. I highly recommend Laura to watch your furbabies.”


“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”


“It's really difficult to trust your baby with someone. But I could tell that Emily really loves dogs and I knew my boy would have a good weekend. I barely checked in because I could tell he was safe and happy when I left him with her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you again!”


“Did a test night with Zeus as he can be a bit dramatic and needy due to separation anxiety. Abigail and her husband did a great job keeping him calm and he ate more food than he normally would away from home. I got updates from Abigail on how he was doing and excited to use them again for an upcoming trip!”


“Oreo had a great stay with Jana and her family. They took such good care of my elderly dog and made sure he had activity time and gave him all his meds and gave him care and attention. He got along with their dog, which isn't always easy for my Oreo. I was sent many pictures each evening so I could see how my buddy was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Jana and Hannah (hope I got that right). I will definitely rebook with them.”


“Great sitters! Provided plenty of updates, videos, and pics of my good boi will I was overseas. Very caring and provided plenty of play. Basil enjoyed his time. Will definitely use Jerad and Sarah again.”


“Victoria is amazing! Constant video updates and our puppy has never looked happier to have so many dogs and a puppy to play with and to be cuddled on the couch. He's also learning alot, thank you so much for being so kind, communicative, helpful, and a great host!”
