“Keeley was absolutely amazing! I was really nervous leaving my dog, Alaska, for the first time since moving here, but she made the whole experience so easy. She sent frequent updates and tons of pictures, which helped ease all my anxiety. Her dog Kobe was such a great companion too—Alaska clearly had the best time playing and came home completely worn out, which says everything 😂 Keeley is so kind, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Ericka & Robert were so friendly and reassuring. This was my first time having to leave my fur baby with someone that was not family and their demeanor and love for their own pets put me at ease almost instantly. Rocko loved visiting with them and their family and fit right in with the group. Thank you, Ericka and Robert for taking such good care of our baby! We will use you guys again and definitely highly recommend! ❤️”

“Becky was absolutely amazing! She did a wonderful job of sending pictures and giving me updates on my dog, Sampson, while he stayed there for 3 night/4 days. Samps and I will be returning when I have my next trip. :) Thank you, Becky!”

“Hugh took great care of Missy. I got updates every day with a picture. I don’t worry about Missy when she stays with Hugh. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby girl. See you next time.”
“Ailen and her husband were wonderful! Very attentive, sent daily pictures and updates and always quick to respond. Our baby felt right at home! Highly recommend! Will definitely be using them again ❤️”

“Christina is amazing at this job. She genuinely loves dogs and ensures they have a great time while at her house. She provides a crate and lots of toys to play with. Our Labradoodle is a high energy puppy and she was great with him. She sent daily pictures and videos, it was great to see him playing and running around with her dogs. It was very reassuring to know he was being taken care of. I’ll definitely use Christina again next time we go out of town.”

“We contacted Megan 2 days before our week long trip and she gladly accepted to meet and greet the same day and then took care of Pepper. Megan was very clear in what we need to bring when we drop our pet”

“Our Ollie seemed to do great with Catherine! They had several other dogs in the home at the time and Ollie enjoys interacting with new friends. Nice big yard and nice clean home.”

“Thanks Again...This is our second time having Aimee care for Lilly. I appreciated Aimee's heart to make Lilly feel safe and welcome. She even reached out to find out if Lilly sleeps on the bed or on the floor in her bed. 😊We will definitely see Aimee and Remie (her pet) again.!!!”

“Fantastic pet sitters. These people really care about your pets! They send constant photo and video updates as well as messages! I give them my absolute highest recommendation to all considering them for your pet sitting needs!”

“Michele was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures to keep up with what the dogs were doing. They seemed to have a great time in the big back yard. We will be using Michele again and we’re so happy to have a great option close to our house.”

“After having a bad experience with the previous Rover stay with another sitter we were very worried about leaving Dallu with another sitter. But Gina was amazing, she sent many updates with video and photos. We felt Dallu was well cared for in our absence and we will be definitely using Gina in the future again.”

“Best of the best! Victoria is excellent with my 2 boys, and goes above and beyond when I sometimes add in another family dog. They send lots of pics and the dogs always come home happy. Highly recommend!”

“Rob and Mary are amazing people, love dogs and treated my as their own.super accommodating when we asked to extend our pups stay at last minute.my fur baby became fast friends with theirs, and loved the walks and outdoor romps he got to enjoy. Even better is the updates and pictures I received during my vacation that made me smile and let me know he was in good hands. I highly recommend Mary and Rob and our Lumpy will be returning next trip.”

About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but at times I do have to make trips outside of the house. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
“Kayla and her family are absolutely THE BEST! I've never left our dog and felt so at ease knowing he was not only having the greatest time, but also receiving exceptional care. It was clear that he was loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We received updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I can't recommend Kayla enough and will definitely trust her with our dog again in the future!”

“If you want to know that your dog is safe and happy while being taken care of, you need to book with Kelcie. I have used her twice and will continue to use her. My lil dog loves her!!”
