“Debbie and her husband, Phil are truly the best dog sitters! I don’t ever worry when my dog, Jasper is there. She is so gracious to send a lot of pictures and videos. Her huge fenced in yard is amazing. Jasper loves to run with the other dogs. When I picked up Jasper this last time, he actually started to pull on his leash back towards Debbie’s to go back inside! Lol I give them 5 stars always, they deserve it!”

“Emily was awesome. Got back to me right away abd was just so easy to work with. Parker had so much fun playing with her puppy and was exhausted (in a good way) when we brought her home. Emily sent photos and updates and was super flexible when our timing changed. I highly recommend her, as we will definitely be using her again.”


“Chase was happy, healthy, plus brushed and clean when we picked him up from Megan. We also got honest feedback about a behavior problem we had not known about before. Highly recommend.”

“We are so glad we found Jill! She takes such wonderful care of our 14 year old dog Keisha. Although Keisha has separation anxiety, we can tell she feels very comfortable with Jill. No anxiety meds! She eats and sleeps well. Jill provides updates so that we can relax and enjoy our vacation. Thank you SO much, Jill!”


“Michaela took great care of my dog, Stella, while I was out of town. She welcomed her into her home and did well handling her quirks! :) I loved knowing that Stella was with someone who’s an animal lover and that she’d have the privilege of a fenced in yard. I will definitely be keeping Michaela in mind for my future trips!”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
“Our dog loved her stay with Stacy! We will definitely contact Stacy again when we're in the area. She was accommodating to our timeframe and incredibly responsive to questions and updated us frequently with messages and photos. We highly recommend her!”

“Linda was able to accommodate my request for a dog sitter on short-notice despite it also being on a holiday. She was prompt to respond and put my mind at ease at the meet and greet. Multiple updates were sent throughout my dog’s stay and it was clear that he was enjoying himself and well looked after. He had another doggy playmate that he had a blast with. I felt very comfortable having my dog in her hands.”

“Nicole has watched Koba 3 times and always available even at the last minute, she takes good care of Koba and very reasonable if you need an extra few hours or day. Would recommend all day”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. From training my families yellow lab while growing up, to playing with my brothers Australian shepherd, to giving my girlfriends Akita his food and medicine while my girlfriend sleeps in, I can handle it all. I have an open schedule and am available everyday of the week. I am happy to create a schedule that fits your needs and requests! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets in secure, pet-safe spaces, monitor behavior and health, and make sure doors, gates, and hazards are carefully managed to prevent accidents or escapes.
“I was able to thoroughly relax and enjoy my own vacation knowing that Maggie was loved, well care for, and had other dogs to play with. I will definitely keep this service and Kristen M. in my contacts for all my future needs.”

“Liz and her family did an amazing job accommodating my Beagle Pitbull Mix Mollie ♥️. Sent lots of pictures and we're flexible with travel delays. I could tell she had a great time and was in safe, welcoming hands ✨♥️”

“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”


“We had such a great experience with Rosa. Upon meeting her, she had such a warm approach towards watching animals. And when she met our Baxter, it was just the same. While we were away, she sent us pictures of him to give my wife and myself comfort that we made the right decisions. She also abided by our food parameters for Baxter's health. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their pet in good hands.”
