“My husband and I booked a much-needed vacation. We were very apprehensive about leaving our two senior dogs (Bella and Stella) with anyone. They require special care due to their age and the fact that they are rescues. We met with Pam before our trip and found her to be very pleasant, caring, and a wonderful dog mom. Our first impression of Pam was reinforced during our trip by the quality care that she gave our fur babies. She consistently sent us videos and kept us updated. We could see that they were very well taken care of and this enabled us to enjoy our vacation. Bella and Stella had a wonderful time and weren't in any rush to leave Pam. We will definitely, reach out to Pam again in the future!!!”

“Erica was fenomenal. She took my dog on a very short notice and we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. She also sent pictures and update about my dog during the time he was in her care.

“Anthony!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.. so much taking care of my baby!

About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.

Highly recommend. My Belgian Malinios/GSD mix can be a handful energy wise. She was great with him and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I am very selective about who I leave my dogs with because I work in animal welfare.I am so thankful to have found a person I can trust to care for Reptar when I’m away. 💙
Helen and her family just took care of my dog for 10 nights. I got daily pictures of her and updates Helen was very caring and nurturing. I would recommend her
This was our first time leaving Daisy with a sitter and Edward was wonderful! He took wonderful care of Daisy and sent us updates, pictures and videos. Highly recommend Edward!!
Judy was wonderful, we have nothing but good things to say! She treated our dog, an anxious boy with a bit of separation anxiety, like her own. No worries at all while we were away - Thank you so much Judy!
. She cares about the dogs and very involved in making sure that both the dogs and owners are comfortable. She kept us informed how our dog was doing and throughout the day sent photos and messages. Her house is very clean and a safe environment for your dog.
Kierra took excellent care of my old man. She gave him medication and fed him a special diet. I was very happy with her care and felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Thank you!
This is the second time our boys have stayed with Krissy. She runs a tight ship and all goes smoothly. Krissy goes out of her way to ensure that both the dogs, and their human connections are comfortable with the routine. We have very big boys, who are really just spoiled children. I have to admit that Krissy spoils them more than we do! We will be back!
I got so many beautiful pictures of my puppy while she was being babysat. She truly seemed to be adored while in Christina’s care.
Can't give enough praise for Julina! She was incredibly easy to work with, and from our initial meet & greet, she made us super comfortable to leave our puppies for an extended weekend. Super flexible around my schedule and both our pups came back EXHAUSTED from playing with her dog Loki. Very excited to say I've found a good local sitter. Would recommend to everyone!
Helen is a wonderful sitter. She dotes on her pet visitors and keeps us posted on daily activities via email and pics. Our Sheltie loves visiting with Helen!
Very happy using Eva kept us updated sent pictures couldn’t ask for anything more. Would recommend to friends.
Lina is so nice, and Yodi defin loveeee to be there while we’re gone for vacation. Yodi had so much fun during the time of the stay and I got so many pictures of Lina playing with Yodi outside. It’s a really good place that will really care about your pets and take care of them while you’re busy😁😁
I had kept Loafy for 5 days with Akhilesh and his family while we were out for a trip. It was a great family setting along with their beautiful black Lab Millie who was great company for Loafy. We initially had a meet and greet session with Akhilesh just to make Loafy comfortable with their home and he pretty much liked it there along with their dog. They also have a fenced backyard which was a great add-on safety for the dogs to be on their own. We got regular updates, photos, videos daily which gave us a peace of mind and Loafy seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly was well cared for. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dog loving family.
Katherine was amazing, she took great care of my two small dogs and gave updates and was very accommodating when my flight was delayed and was able to extend my service. I would highly recommend her!!!
