Sarah takes great care of my dog Mason. She was understanding and accommodating to the changes in pick up time as my flight was delayed over and over again. We are very grateful to her!

Bela B. is an excellent puppy sitter. Her yard is fenced and offers a great place for the pups to play. Everything was perfect for our large puppy.

I was exceptionally pleased with the constant contact Cheryl kept with us! A picture and a message every day we were gone, and if I messaged her for anything her response was immediate! I had a great feeling from the start and she did not let me down, I felt that my little one was in excellent care the entire time! Thank you so much Cheryl for the love and care of our precious fur baby! Definite repeat customers ❤️?

Dianne was simply awesome. After nine years with my fur baby, this was the first time I had a relaxing vacation. Communication was great, pictures daily showed she was being well cared for. I was a little worried cocoa puff would not welcome me home. Thank you Dianne for such great care of my “baby”

Alexander was great again with our pup, Koa. We've hired Alexander for doggy daycare several times, but this was the first boarding. There was a small mix-up at drop off, but he apologized and worked quickly to rectify the mistake. Koa is an anxious little guy, and Alexander was great with him. He accommodated our needy pup wanting to be glued to him the entire stay. They worked on the computer together, mowed the lawn together, and I'm sure there were countless other hours of lap snuggles. Warms my heart knowing that our little Koa was treated with compassion and support while away from home.

Great sitter for our two dogs. We will definitely be booking with her the next time we go out of town. She communicated with us the entire time we were away. We loved the pictures of our dogs during our vacation. She worked around our travel times and was so kind to allow us to drop our dogs off early in the morning. They had a great time because they were worn out when they got home. We would definitely recommend this sitter!

Fabulous. Ziggy had the best experience and made new doggy friends. Natalie is amazing. She sent me tons of daily update photos that alleviated my worries and concerns (my dog can be a little anxious sometimes) and text updates, as well. Five stars, 10/10, will definitely be a return boarder. Thank you, Natalie!!

Andrea did a great job taking care of my dog, Milo. She was very accommodating with Milo's needs. This was the first time in his 3 years that he spent the night in someone else's home. Also the first time he played with a dog off leash. Andrea's doodle, Finn, was a great companion for Milo. After Milo warmed up they played very well together. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pet.

About: 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to dignified seniors approaching 18 years old. My family and I have successfully raised and cared for dogs of all sizes (small, medium, and large breeds). I understand that each dog is unique and requires tailored care based on their age, size, temperament, and health needs. I work from home full-time and am available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I like to take the dogs for daily walks along Beach Rd. Schedule is flexible, but prefer cooler times of day morning/afternoon. My home is shared with three well-socialized dogs (two chihuahua mixes and one larger dog), a friendly outdoor cat who roams our property, and backyard chickens. I have a gated property (not fully fenced, so I supervise outdoor time) with space for dogs to explore safely. Dogs who stay with me will have access to indoor comfort, outdoor supervised play, and structured routines that include regular walks, feeding times, and rest periods.

Okay I was skeptical at first because he had only one review but how come Austin does not have as many reviews as he deserve? I absolutely am glad that I found him. He was just so great. He would send me pictures as often as he could and I could tell my dog was enjoying her time with him for sure in the pictures. Thank you!!

We are new to the island and had been looking for a safe place for our pup to stay overnight while we explore the island. Sarah took great care of our guy. Her home is open and very welcoming/dog friendly, and she has a large yard perfect for running a playing. We would definitely consider leaving S’mores with her again.

I had an amazing experience with Vanessa! She watched my two dogs overnight and took such great care of them. She kept me updated with photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. I truly appreciate her kindness, communication, and the extra effort she put in. I’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!
