Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!

Allison watched our Bowie while we were out of town for an extended time for our wedding! She was such a good sitter and could tell from initial meet and greet that she has tons of experience! She kept us updated the whole time and reached out when our boy was acting a little off and we were able to solve the problem from afar! She also went above and beyond to clean the house for our return which was so nice to come home to! I am an anxious dog mom and I have already booked with Allison for another date after our great experience!

Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Mikayla was fantastic. She stayed in our home for a week to take care of our two dogs, Rudi and Eva, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we returned. The house looked great too! We especially appreciated the updates she sent while we were away, they gave us peace of mind to see photos and hear how things were going. This was our second time booking with Mikayla. We trust her to care for Rudi and Eva, highly recommend!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have had two dogs growing up that I always took care of. I continue to take care of friends and families dogs. I currently work remote full time which gives me the availability to work anywhere. I am free in the morning and afternoons before and after work. I always make sure the animals will stick to their routine if they have one. I always try to play with the animals and entertain them as well.

About: I'm a current dog foster through a local shelter, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life! I'm comfortable with most ages and sizes, and have picked up a lot of skills and knowledge on how to work well with dogs. I'm just as comfortable with cats, and I have some good experience cat sitting for relatives. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student, so I have a lot of availability to fit taking care of pets into my day/week. I try to keep a consistent feeding schedule and make sure dogs go out as soon as I return from being away. I make sure any hazards or chemicals are far out of reach, and always keep dogs on leashes when going on walks outside of a fenced in area. I make sure to monitor toys that can break into small pieces (nylabones, benebones, etc.). I am comfortable crating dogs if there has been previous crate training.

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.
