“Amazing to have found Joanne. We left our 6 month old puppy to travel for 6 days. Joanne did an excellent job taking care of our pup. He had a great time and the updates were excellent.”
“From the moment my puppies met Denise and Dan, it was very comfortable and a relaxing feeling! They both take extreme care of your pets, and if you have special instructions, they will follow so to make sure your pets are as safe as your own home. Overall, I will definitely refer Denise and Dan to my friends , and also I will use them in the future. Thank you so much Denise and Dan!”
“Alev was absolutely amazing with my two boys! She took such great care of them—giving them tons of love, attention, and playtime. They came home happy, tired, and even looking adorable with little bow ties she gave them (such a sweet touch!). She sent regular updates and clearly treated them like her own. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Alev again—they already miss her! Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”

“Jamie did amazing while I was away, I was so right to trust her, she sent me picture anytime I asked. It was my first time leaving my puppy with a doggy sitter and I made an excellent choice choosing Jamie! I will be back most definitely.”
“Donna was a breath of fresh air very welcoming. She took to Blue my pup instantly I appreciated the knowledge she passed on to me... Donna was accommodating at our last minute request we were pleased with knowing our pup was in good hands. We will most definitely be using her again in the near future.”
“My dog loved his stay at Theresa’s house and I was reassured with multiple picture updates of how my dog was doing! Would recommend and am booking again in the future !”

“We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I have also worked at a veterinary practice for many years as an assistant. I am currently available weekdays and weekends, early morning to late night. I can help if you need one visit or recurring visits so I am easily able to accommodate your times and needs. I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to be safe and cared for. I also have a large fenced in yard if your pet needs to be taken care of at my home.

“John had our Rosie for 5 days over an holiday weekend and she had a great time!! She was well cared for, got her exercise in and made a furry bestie too!! John followed through on all of our feeding and sleeping instructions. I loved that he was in constant contact with me keeping me abreast of how she was eating and sleeping. I received adorable pictures of her draped in a Fourth of July scarf with her new bestie!! We highly recommend John for your pooch!! We promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!”
“Amazing, I wouldn’t be able to find anyone better than Christine. She is very kind and my dog had the best times with her and I could see how comfortable he was with her while I was on my trip. Extremely happy and definitely I would recommend her to everyone. She was sending me the pictures of my dog every day so I felt so great and had peace of mind that's he is in the right place with the right person. Thank you Christine, highly appreciated ?”
“Tammy was a great sitter for our Lennon. She and her family took great care of him. We received daily updates with photos. Lennon had a great time while in her care. We will definitely use Tammy again when we need a sitter.”
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
“Our cat Journey had a delightful time at Joanne’s for a long weekend. We were impressed with the clear communication, lovely home environment, and delightful family that took such great care of him. We highly recommend Joanne and will not hesitate to use her again when were visiting family in the area.”

Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!
Anthony watched my German shepherd last minute about 4 days before my trip. He was great with my dog from moment I walked in. My dog usually takes time to warm up but not this time because it was instant. MADe me so much less stressed on my vacation knowing he was having a great time. Anthony sent updates with videos and photos. Will definitely book him again and definitely recommend over and over
Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.
We had an excellent experience with Jennifer. She was extremely loving to our dog and treated him as if he was her own. She sent regular updates and photos. The dog seemed extremely comfortable in her home. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants peace of mind.
My Benji was in great hands! Maria took good care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She provided picture and video updates and she was very responsive. I would certainly book her again and would have no reservations recommending her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.
Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.
