“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
“Our dogs were well cared for and we felt so safe leaving them on our trip. Aunna was consistently communicating and sending photos of the pups. She is a wonderful sitter and we are grateful we found her.”
“Our first time leaving our pup with a sitter (we've only left them with family before) was a great experience! We left him with Christine for 10 days after a couple short trial visits before the trip. We found Christine to be calm, knowledgeable and diligent. Our naturally nervous guy warmed up to her quickly. At first he was very worried so she made special arrangements in her home to help him settle and paid close attention to him until he felt safe. Photo and video updates of our pup every day made us feel so much more comfortable, too. We could see him relaxing and starting to have fun in her care, which made our trip out of town much less stressful. She was great about contacting us with any questions or concerns about our boy, and she handled everything very well. Christine was so awesome at taking special care of our dog, that we could see he honestly loved her by the end of the stay, and she is now our go-to dog sitter. Overall a really nice experience for us and our pup!”
“Lara did a outstanding job with our little dog Izzy. She kept us informed on how Izzy was doing with photos, videos, and text messages since we were gone for two weeks to visit our family in Anchorage. We will definitely use her again. I was afraid that our Izzy wasn't going to want to come back home. I highly recommend that you give her a try. Very reasonable compared to other sitters.”
“My dogs loved staying with Yueqian and her husband. They went on several walks per day and came back tired and happy. They will certainly be staying with her for future trips”
“Thelma had a great time running around the yard! Robert send along cute photos and was flexible when our plans had to change last minute. Highly recommend!”
“Brian and Shannon are excellent hosts and I never once worried about boarding my dog Cash with them. Their home is the ideal setup for pet sitting and gave Cash the same love and attention that they give to their own dogs. Their dogs are well behaved and socialized and will become instant companions to your dog. They provided great communication and sent updates throughout his stay. I strongly recommend them and will book with them for my future pet sitting needs.”
“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”
“How lucky we feel for finding Daniel! Our dog had the best time, looked so happy and seemed to really love Daniel. I’m grateful for the clear and quick responses and updates. We’re looking forward to next time!”
“Alexia was great and my girl, Sookie, had a great time! Communication was on point and frequent. It was clear my girl was comfortable with her family (including the fur babies) and I'd happily rebook.”
“Danielle was very polite and receptive of Onyx. She kept me updated over 4 days with texts and pictures of Onyx. I’m pleased with her care of Onyx and wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again. J Holmes”
“Winston had the best time over the weekend! Kaylah was extremely responsive and sent pictures and updates everyday! Will definitely use her again!”
“Amy and her family do a fantastic job watching Howie when we are out of town. We can tell he feels at home in Amy’s family environment. We also appreciate the photo updates, which Amy does a great job of sending.”
“This is my second time booking with Stephanie and I would recommend her to any friend. She takes such great care of my dog and sends daily updates. She takes my dog on adventures and he enjoys his stay.”
“Awesome couple that I trust watching our fur baby. So nice and received multiple pictures and updates which I enjoyed so much. I was able to enjoy our family trip and never once worried about Luca. Highly recommend.”
About: I have never been without dogs in my life! My friends call me the "dog whisperer". No children in the home any more (all are in college or graduated), so we treat our canine guests as family with love and attention. I am working from home and have time to care for, play with, and take walks with your furry family members. My wife also works from home and loves dogs just as much as I do! I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. Your dog(s) would be treated as part of the family! They have free roam of the house except the bedrooms. We have pet beds in the living room and office for sleeping at night.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Angela took excellent care of my dog and I appreciated her daily updates while I was away. Your dog is in great hands with her!”
“Haley is so wonderful and took great care of Charlie! Appreciate her flexibility with logistics and the sweet updates she sent of Charlie loving life with her new little friend 💛”
“Angie was so great!! We were first time boarders and she put our minds right at ease! She sent daily updates and pictures and took such good care of Charlie. Would highly recommend her!!”
