“This was our first time boarding Milo and Teresa made this a wonderful experience! She offered a quick meet and greet a few days before the stay which help us see how Milo was around her. After seeing how comfortable he was, we decided to move forward with the overnight stay. Teresa sent so many photos and updates that we felt so reassured during our time away from him. Milo was being his happy, normal self, and that was big deal for us. Overall, it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be calling Teresa for other pup sitting needs. Thank you so much!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Amanda was amazing! Very helpful in coordinating pick up and drop off, great communication and lots of updates about our pups stay. Most importantly, it’s so clear how much she enjoyed and cared for our dog. We will definitely be asking Amanda to dog-sit for our next trip!”
“First time boarding our rescue dog and who doesn’t always get along well with other dogs. But Mayzie had a great stay! She got along well with Amy and Lamar’s dog (and cat) and they were able to separate her from a more active dog boarded during the day. They are very experienced in their understanding of dog behavior and from the pictures they sent she seemed like her happy self during the stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“Mia was so great! I got multiple photos and updates every day. He got plenty of exercise and play time. She did a great job giving my anxious dog medication. I felt at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of during an extended stay. Would recommend and book again!”
“Luciana took very good care of our chihuahua. Luciana is very professional and friendly. She listened to our instructions very carefully and adhered to it. She took the dog out multiple times and fed him on time as requested. She gave very frequent updates and posted photos and videos of the dog having a happy time at her home. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her and be a repeat customer as well”
“Lara and Mike welcomed Mariposa into their home for her first overnight stay. Communications were great and we received several photos during the evening and morning. Mariposa seemed to make herself at home and came home tired and happy--always a good thing. We'll definitely be using Lara and Mike again!”
“Ian was incredible watching my 3 year old high energy GSP, Jobs, for several days. He sent numerous updates, photos, and video’s throughout the day. He was proactive and very communicative. Ian was great at taking Jobs for walks, having him play with other dogs, and taking him out to go potty. Jobs had a great time. Highly recommend Ian, great sitter!”
About: I love all types of dogs! I grew up always having a dog in the family, and also have been caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs since childhood. I have experience handling larger dogs, and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around caring for your dog as needed. My husband also works from home full time, so one of us will always be around to provide love and care. I have a fenced in backyard and two senior dogs who love to have visitors. They get along easily with most dogs, but we'd want to do a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along well!
“Jennifer was great with Scotty and he enjoyed his stay. It was easy to communicate with Jennifer via text and she was even able to extend a day to assist with my extended trip. Look forward to having Jennifer Scotty sit again.”
About: I have been dog sitting for several years now. I can administer oral medicine if needed. I am at home most of the time and give potty breaks pretty often, especially to puppies in training. I am mostly a stay at home mom so I am free most of the time. My schedule is flexible and can usually accommodate most of the times requested. Please schedule pick up/ drop off times within an hour. I have two friendly dogs who love to socialize and play. I usually don’t crate pets unless specifically requested. If weather permits I give the pets more time outside.
“Eric was great at communicating and our dog came home a happy guy. I appreciated that he asked so many questions about our dog so that he knew exactly what to do. I would definitely recommend Eric.”
“Tracy and Rick are the best! We had some travel delays and Tracy was happy to accommodate our schedule. Our pup, Romy, is always so happy to stay there ☺️”
“This was our second stay for our grumpy old man with Tanya. It is SUCH a relief to have a reliable caregiver and safe place to stay for our sweet boy when we are (way) out of town. He has such a great time and adores all the attention he gets - I don't know that he's particularly happy to come home! Thank you, Tanya, and I'm sure we'll see you soon!”
“Thomas was great! He was super easy to communicate with and provided routine updates on our dog. We will definitely use him again and recommend him for anyone needed a dog sitter!”
“Amy and family took great care of our dog, Mack. He got lots of attention, walks and love from the whole family and we got great updates and photos. A+ sitter, will definitely look to book again in the future.”

Our dog absolutely loved his stay with Andrea and her family. We are a couple days out from him returning and he seems like he’s still missing his time there. You can tell Andrea and her kids care for the dogs. They have a secure fenced in backyard and it seems like our dog got to enjoy some time outdoors. We loved the updates and cute pictures she sent. We will use her again in the future. Thank you!
Colleen was fantastic - took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and was great with communication and flexibility. We received regular updates with cute photos, and Colleen’s house is so well-equipped and dog-friendly with toys, beds, bowls, etc that we barely had to pack anything but food and leashes. Our dogs loved playing with her pups Teddy and Polly and came home smiling. They would love to come back!
