“Rebekah and her husband took very good care of my Reyna. They have a nice size yard for her to run around. I also like that they had dogs to keep her company. I appreciated the daily updates with pics. They are very patient and easy going”


“Hillary did an exceptional job with our three dogs! She kept us informed through frequent updates and photos of our furry companions playing with her children. The dogs always seemed delighted and cherished, receiving all the attention they deserved. It was a delightful feeling to know that our dogs were having a wonderful time while we were away. Upon our return, they appeared relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to greet us with enthusiasm.”


“Paris is a wonderful dog sitter. We received pictures throughout our dog’s stay. She made us feel comfortable and provided quick feedback. I highly recommend Paris, and when the need arises, I would like to rebook her.”


“Amazing!!! I’m all the way in Hawaii and waiting on my final out date for the Army but I had my dog Teddy shipped early to my best friend. My best friend ended up having a trip to go on so I needed boarding services for my Teddy. The first person I booked ended up being a disaster my dog was brought to her house the day of boarding and no one answered the door or returned any of my calls so I ended up having to find emergency services. Mickey was very quick to respond! Over the days Teddy has been there she’s sent me pictures updates and let me know how he was doing. Thank you so much!! I will be booking again!!”


“Sophie was at Angela and Bill’s for two weeks. First time I have left her for that long. They sent photos and I felt reassured that she was doing ok. And they survived my 86 lb Bernedoodle.! Would highly recommend.”


“My dogs seemed to have a great time with Orly. They were very tired when they got home. My experience with Orly was wonderful and I hope to have Baxter and Harper stay with her again.”



“Jeff and his family took great care of both our poodles and sent messages frequently with updates and pictures. This is our second time with him and I’m sure won’t be our last!”

“Was amazing all around. I know my dog enjoyed himself and her communication and picture updates were always fast and well needed given my 2 week separation from my fur baby. Will be reaching out again if I ever need a sitter!”


About: As a military spouse, I understand how hard it is to find great care at an affordable rate and possibly the last minute. My goal is to provide love for your babies so that you may focus on whatever calls you away without any worries. I work remotely so any needs or schedules for your babies will be met promptly and to your liking. Please prepare a written list that I may follow. Things to expect when dropping off your babies: Your babies will be provided their own space within my sight at all times (until bedtime) and that space can be adjusted to fit their needs (bigger or smaller). They will be provided food, clean water, cuddles, and as much playtime as they need. If they have any special needs I will ask for written instructions and provide those needs as necessary. I can provide as much or as little communication as you prefer and make sure your babies are doing great while away.

“Suzanne took great care of our pups. She provided us with updates and pictures while they stayed with her. Communication and responses were always immediate. My dogs were safe, happy, and loved during their stay.”


“Sierra was great and if needed I will be booking her again! She was able to watch my fur baby last minute and kept me updated throughout the day! My baby also warmed up to her really quickly which was really refreshing since he typically takes a minute!”


“Ellen is wonderful and took excellent care of my dog! Her fenced back yard was great for him! Ellen was awesome about communicating with me during the boarding and she texted some adorable pictures! Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and after 2PM on weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.

“Rosalyn was great! Very responsive, sent lots of pics and even a video. When I picked my baby up he appeared to have had a good time. His temperament was cool and chill. Would definitely book with Rosalyn again and would recommend her to others.”


“Once again our girls had the best time with Kamie & Patrick. The photos and the videos they provide us with show they have a home away from home. I'm sure the girls don't want to come home. We are very comfortable giving Kamie & Pat the responsibility of caring for our girls when we are away. They adapt their routine to fit our girls and we couldn't be happier with their service.”
