“Pinot had the best time staying with Matt! She came home a happy and tired pup after playing all weekend and being well looked after. Matt provided updates throughout the weekend so I never had a worry about how Pinot was doing!”



“First time leaving our Bella (for a 10 day vacay) so anxiety was through the roof with just the thought of leaving her. After meeting Cyndi I knew I found the perfect person and WOW did she ever exceed my expectations. Cyndi is so easy to worth it and”


“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”


“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”


“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”


“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”


“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Nicole was a fantastic dog sitter! She is very communicative and has the best set up for dogs. It's very clear how much she loves and cares for the dogs in her home. Will definitely be using Nicole's services in the future.”

“Hilary was an excellent choice for our dog while we were out of town. She sent multiple pictures showing his walks and good times that made us smile and remove any fears we had about using this service for the first time. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog any time she is available when we need it. ?”


“They always treat our dog with the utmost respect and care. We feel their home is an extension of our own. Couldn’t be happier to have them watch our baby”


“Joleya made Oreo feel so comfortable that I thought he wouldn’t want to come home! She was kind and responsive and flexible when we had to modify the pick up type. When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services again.”



“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”


About: I have experience with my own family dog. She is about 9 years old now, we’ve had her ever since she was a puppy. She is an elkhound. When she was a puppy she was very energetic so I am familiar with lots of energy !:). I have also taken care of family friends dogs and their houses so I have some experience with that as well. I am in school so I am busy Monday-Friday. I have some gaps in-between my days where I can walk some dogs or feed them or both. As well as keep them company for a little if needed. I live in an apartment, so if I am going to take overnight sits they will have to be small dogs that are potty trained. I have a pretty spacious room and live next to a small park so I would be able to take them out pretty easily. They will have space for their beds or water/feeding bowls.

Natalie M.
“I wanted to take a moment to highlight Natalie’s caring nature and her genuine love for dogs. Her compassion and dedication are truly commendable. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dog. From the very first meeting, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable and happy — which says a lot because he can be shy around new people.”
