“While going away with the family for a week, we decided to use a sitter for the first time. There was a lot of anxiety in making that decision, but we are sure glad we did. Corrine and her family treated our Enzo like part of their own. She also made every attempt to learn the unique nuances of his behavior and habits, in order to make him as comfortable as possible. Every day while we were away, Corrine sent pictures of Enzo playing with her cute little kids, enjoying their spacious backyard or making friends with the other canine guests. It became more and more clear that while we were enjoying our vacation, Enzo was having just as good of a time. Now when I take him out for a walk… he attempts to go to my truck hoping to go back ???. So if you want your dog on vacation while you are on vacation, Corrine and her family are the perfect option.”

“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”

About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations
“Wendy was awesome! She kept us informed (w/pics) and wanted to make sure Candy was comfortable with her and her pets. I look forward to using her again in the near future! She comes highly recommended!”
“Christine and her family took excellent care of our Sugar and Ella while we were away. She updated us frequently with texts and pictures.As a rescue dog, Sugar is normally very tentative and shy. Sugar came home a new girl. She is even greeting strangers without fear! Ella had an issue with her ears while we were away, and Christine quickly reached out to us to treat it.They both were happy and healthy when we returned.”
“Daisy had a great time over Danielle’s home. I received pictures of her running with the other dogs and that’s exactly what my dog likes to do. She stayed over four nights. Each of the dogs has a fluffy dog pad to rest and sleep on. The yard is fenced and large. The dogs are fed in their own spaces preventing food aggression. It was important to me that Daisy have her own water system set up and Danielle welcomed my request. My dog just does not share water. So it’s these things that allow you to go away and know that your dog is going to be okay. I have and will continue to use Danielle.”

About: Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.
“If you need somewhere for your dog to stay, look no further. My experience with Hedra was amazing. He was super nice and accommodating, and quick to respond to all my texts. But more importantly Hedra truly loves dogs. I could tell by the pics Hedra sent me that my dog was having a great time and really being cared for, and when I came to pick her up, it was quit apparent that she enjoyed her stay.”
“Betsy took wonderful care of our senior husky, Teeko. She did a great job medicating him and cleaning up an abscess he had at the time we were away. Betsy gave Teeko ample time outside, took him for many nice long walks and even took him to a dog park! We received daily pictures and detailed updates while we were away, which was very reassuring. Betsy was very caring, kind and compassionate with Teeko, and we would definitely book with her again in the future!”
