“This was only Sirius' second time with a non-family sitter in his two years, so we were a little concerned about separation anxiety. He did have some issues the first night, and Alexis and Daniel consulted with us and we were able to decide with them how to proceed. Luckily Sirius seemed to become more comfortable the second day. We are planning a longer trip and have no reluctance about leaving Sirius with Alexis and Daniel again.”


“Shawna went above and beyond to make our 3 girls feel safe and loved for the week she cared for them. She came a few days before to meet them and to understand how we take care of them so that she could continue that at home she sent daily pictures of them and was willing to check in and let us know how they were settling in and what they had done that day. She even purchased a set of stairs, so our smallest girl could get up on the couch with the rest of the dogs we would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her in the future. Her young sons really helped. Our girls settle in and made a hard week on them a little easier”


“This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.”


“If I could give extra stars I would. Our puppy had just had surgery and has been through a lot of stress the last few months. Gloria is the only person I would leave him with since I know he will be loved like her own dog.”


“We appreciated receiving daily text message updates and pictures. We felt much better during our trip knowing that our dog wasn’t just sitting at a boarding facility in a cage all day and night. I would recommend to anyone who has a dog/cat consider hiring Stevin to care for their furry family member.”


“Emily, her husband & their children were beyond anything I could have ever imagined or hoped for. ❤️ Our sweet Petey is so special to us & he was immediately special to every one of them as well, they all took to him so quickly & he seemed to feel “at home” instantly. Emily sent photos & communicated every step of the way & loved our boy like he’s hers. I had a lot of wrenches thrown in my day around pick-up & she made sure I felt comfortable, was so understanding & overly accommodating. Petey got to go for rides, have family time & play outside…I was hesitant to even leave this review out of fear that she’ll end up booked up & I’ll lose this angel!!! Absolute doll.”


“Victoria is a wonderful and caring dog sitter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She is attentive and sweet the way you would want a wonderful person to care for your pet. God bless!”


“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”


“Stacey took great care of Buddy while I was on vacation. She sent me the most adorable pictures of him playing and sleeping at her house. She asked a lot of questions about Buddy before watching him to help her understand him. 10/10 highly recommend Stacey!”


“Lulu was very happy staying with Kos. When we picked her up it was clear that she was well taken care of. The video I received of her playing with his corgis was too cute. I was worried because I had never left Lulu overnight before, but if the need came up again I hope Kos would take her back. I would highly recommend!”


“They were very informative and considerate of my dog's special need requests. They sent a lot of pictures each day and gave stories that put me at ease. Thank you all for watching Apache and under such a short notice. Would book again.”


“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”


“Not only is Sarah a true "dog mom" but she is a wonderful person. She is so enjoyable to interact with at drop off and pick up. She updated often and treated our girl with much love and special treatment. She thought of everything that our dog would need and I'm sure she hardly missed us! We are so thankful that we have found Sarah (and her sweet doggies!).”


About: While I have cared for a number of my own pets over the years, I also held down a career as a veterinary technician. With this experience, I not only gained medical knowledge, but also gained experience in pet handling, behavior management, and responsive training. I currently work a full time position with open remote capabilities. I work five minutes from my home and can easily make regular trips to the house to provide extra outdoor breaks to any pet. I also am very active with my own lovable hound dog. We take regular evening walks and spend every morning basking in the sun in our fenced in backyard. I care for every pet like they are my own. I respect every pet parents wishes on the care and safety of their pet but will also allow them to have the freedom and comfort that they would have in their own homes. We live in a child free home with a fully fenced in back yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood that offers a peaceful and safe place to live and play.
