Our dog hadn't been to a sitter in years. He had a great time and looks forward to a return visit with his new friends. Christie was great at keeping us updated with photos and updates.

We always have ease of mind when leaving our pups with Jacob. He does a great job of communicating and prioritizing the safety of the dogs. We can count on him giving our dogs playtime, exercise, and much affection!

This was Pac's first time with a sitter that wasn't a family member or a friend. I am extremely pleased with the care that was given to my fur baby. Would absolutely use their services again and recommend that you do the same 😊

About: I’ve cared for, trained, and loved animals for 40+ years and would be happy to care for yours while you are away. I know how important check ins are so you can be sure your fur baby is well & happy! I work from home most days so my schedule is flexible and allows me to be home with your fur baby! My home is comfortable and pet friendly and if they are sun seekers I have a great deck for them to lounge on. I have a fenced in back yard with room to roam and live in a safe cul-de-sac neighborhood perfect for dog walking! Couches are not off limits in my house 😊

Pam is fabulous and our dog had the best time at her house full of other furry friends! Pam sent several photos and updates each day, ensuring that Taco was being well cared for and having a good time. Our dog came home exhausted after a weekend playing with the other dogs, chasing squirrels around the yard, and searching for the coziest spot in Pam’s house. We’ll definitely rebook Pam in the future!

Tasha provided excellent care and communication throughout our 4-month old puppy's 10-day stay at her home. We received daily updates, photos, and often, videos. She monitored his eating and elimination behaviors, as well as ensuring he got out and played with the other dogs on a daily basis. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to choose Tasha for our next boarding need.

Tatyana was fantastic! Our dog can be a bit anxious when we leave and she was great about meeting all of his needs. Tatyana truly loves dogs and had such great communication with us during Jet’s stay! We felt comfortable that he was taken care of and, more importantly, he was loved! We would highly recommend her for your baby!
