Patricia was amazing with Maxx! We met her before boarding, and right away I felt confident he’d be in good hands. While we were away, she sent regular updates and pictures, which was so reassuring. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thanks again, Patricia!

My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.

Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.

Ali was great. Very responsive to questions prior to the reservation, and flexible on drop off and pick up. Our dogs did great and didn’t seem to have any problems getting along with Ali’s pets.

We've been looking for someone to watch our two dogs when we travel out of town for quite a while now, and are so excited to have found Joanne! Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and came home relaxed and tuckered out. Joanne was easy to communicate with and stayed in touch with us while our dogs were with her- even sending us a picture. We look forward to bringing our dogs to Joanne regularly in the future!

Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.

About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!

About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
