“I'm so glad Lindsey was able to hang out with my little miss again: she updated me when she was a little sick, and was kind enough to take care of it! Greatly appreciated and will book again.”


“Claudia went above and beyond for my cats while I was away for my birthday vacation. She communicated during the stay and sent pictures of my babies. I felt that my cats and home were safe with Claudia!”


“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”


“Andria was amazing!!! I had a few issues and last minute changes and she worked with me no matter what! it’s hard to leave my baby and I can tell how much fun he had with her. She definitely gave me a peace of mind and always sent pictures. I recommend her 100% if you want someone trustworthy and loving to your baby! Andria thank you again! will definitely be re booking”


“Shauna did an excellent job with our dogs! They needed to follow a special routine and she did everything we had requested and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. She was such a joy to have! Thank you Shauna!”


“Jessica fulfilled a last minute request for me to drop in on Bella. She was responsive and provided excellent service. She also provided several pictures. I would use her again!”


“Morgen was great with our dogs! She was prompt, responsive, and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend her to those looking for someone to help with their animals! We will be reaching out to her again if needed!”


“Courtney was professional and communicative, which made me feel safe leaving my cat Kimchi under her care for the longest period we’ve been gone since getting her. Getting pictures and little descriptions gave me peace of mind abroad. Thank you Courtney!!”


“Literally the best pet sitter we have had in the 5+ years of pet ownership. If you have big dogs, you’ve found the right sitter, Myranda does soooo well with our jumpy GSD. She has such a great energy that will have your dogs wishing she comes and visits even though you’ve come home.”


“Thanks so much for taking care of Pachinko! Jenny stopped by our house prior to our trip to make sure she was aquatinted with our dog and learned where everything was. She took great care of our dog while we were away and looked after our chickens too! Very reliable, our dog loved her, everything was in perfect order when we returned. She sent tons of pictures every day. I felt very comfortable knowing Jenny was taking care of our dog.”

They would wait for her and greet her at the door 😀😻 She communicated great with me and I had no worries on my trip because my pets were in great care with Emy!!!! Will definitely book Emy again . Thank you”

About: From childhood to adulthood I have taken care of and loved on fur babies that were our own and from neighbors, friends, and family members. Our kids have grown up around our dog and share the same love, care, and snuggles to your fur baby. We have since lost our beloved Max and are ready to invite more dogs into our home to brighten our hearts. Puppies to senior doggies are welcomed. And did we mention we love pets so much that one of us works for a well known pet company! It's a family affair when your dog is here. Our kids will be eager to help feed, walk, play, and love on your baby. We have a smoke free home, fenced in yard, and lots of walking trails to get some fresh air and exercise. Many opportunities for a good belly rub too! I am home with our youngest who is 3 and who is our biggest animal lover. Our other two kids are in school and love to take on responsibilities with our adult supervision. We ask that your dog is friendly with all aged kids. We do teach our kids the proper way to greet a new dog and how to give them space around their feedings. We don't have animals on our furniture/bed, but will on occasion invite them up on our terms for a special cuddle... shhh! ;) Bring any bedding or special toys your dog would love to have with them while they stay. We do have some Greenies, bedding, and some toys as well on hand. We do love a good walk on our trails or around our neighborhood in the evenings with the kids. We ask that your pup is leash trained and can walk near other dogs with out being aggressive, or is able to ignore any other dog's "negative" behavior. Your four legged baby will have ALL of our attention as we care and love on them. We look forward to sharing our home and our hearts with your best friend! My husband works from home most days & I am home with our youngest. It is very natural and easy for us to feed on a scheduled time and/or give oral medication & supplements if needed. There is amble bathroom breaks, exercise & play time. We can't forget to give them their own time to sun bath as our dog loved to do! We know how to relax inside when a nap is needed. Mostly we know how to enjoy a cuddle and give belly rubs. When both of us have to leave the house we do ask that your dog is able to be in their "room" (aka crate trained). They are free to roam when we are home. At night they are always welcomed to sleep in our room or in their "room" too. All ages of dogs are welcomed. All dogs will be loved just as our family dog Max was cherished by us. We watched him from am energetic young buck to an old man who was faithful. We promise to capture those big and small moments and share them with you, as we know the joy it brings to have received them too. We will dedicate your dog(s)’ stay to just one dog family at a time to ensure the safety of all dogs and people. Each and every dog will be in safe and trustworthy home.

“First time leaving our puppy with anyone. The experience with Loren could not have been better! We did a meet and greet at our house the day before her first drop-in visit. She was very professional and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. Our pup got great care while we were gone and we received photos and text updates after each visit. We hope to use Loren again soon. Highly recommended!”

Danielle & Chris F.
“Danielle and her family are so loving with animals. They have always had a dog until they lost sweet Max. They have also loved on and cared for my pup Lil Laci. Even when Lil Laci was a bit moody they loved on her 😀. I’ve seen them care for the classroom gerbil and a huge spider that decided to weave his HUGE web on their patio. The spider is gone now but they cared for it ‘til the end. Danielle and her family are animal lovers for sure and I will always trust my pets with them.”
