“Brody and his Dad are the best. The set up is perfect..the dogs loved the large fenced yard to run and play. They came home happy and loved. Moose is an older Shitzu mix, with cataracts and is hard of hearing, but Brody gave him extra love, during his week long stay, and sent photos and videos. Bentley is a 7yr old toy Manchester Terrier, who had the time of his life playing with the other dogs!Brody (and his Dad) cared for our dogs so well. A big thanks!”
“All I can say is that I didn’t know Georgie could possibly be more spoiled than he already was but he is and that is a good thing! Made the entire trip away perfect knowing he was being so loved. Anyone who adores their dog and considers them their baby and not just a pet, do not hesitate to trust Toni to care for them.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Sabrina was Great will Miss Ellie!! She was attentive and flexible to her needs. I received great feedback along with pictures and videos while I was away. Ellie was running and playing when I arrived to pick her up! Love Miss Sabrina!!!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy! Carola took such great care of Bowie while I was away for a few days. Would definitely recommend her services to a friend :)”

“I was really nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time but Jessica updated me everyday and took him on lots of adventures. It made my vacation so much more relaxing. I would recommend them to anyone who want to know their fur baby is well taken care of.”

“Linsey has been a dream dog-sitter! She and her family invited my miniature dachshund/chichuahua mutt, Lodi in and made him part of their family. She sent pictures and notes keeping me updated on how he was doing! I can’t recommend Kinsey highly enough.”

“I booked this boarding stay last-minute, after our initial pet care plan fell through, but it really couldn’t have worked out better! Valentine and her family were so great with my pup, Rocky. They kept her safe and busy while my husband and I participated in a friend’s wedding festivities. I felt confident leaving Rocky with Valentine, and I would definitely book again if ever back in the area. She’s caring and knows what she’s doing with animals, for sure.”

“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”

“Kayla was great! My little guy is a high-energy puppy, and it sounds like Kayla managed him very well. He seems happy, healthy and well brushed! Kayla also sent me several photos and was always super responsive to texting. Highly recommend!”

“Olivia took such great care of my girl! She made everything super easy and convenient for us. She was attentive to all of Benelli’s needs and she even sent regular updates so that I knew how she was doing. I would absolutely recommend her services!!”

“Kaitlyn accepted our request at last minute and was flexible with pickup when our flight got delayed. She kept us updated with message and pictures. Mylles loved his stay there. I will definitely use her service again.”

“I needed someone to watch my sweet girl tootsi for a couple of days at the last minute and I’m so thankful I found Dianna! She and her doggo tonka welcomed tootsi in their home like she was apart of their family. Tootsi was happy when I picked her up, and Dianna even gave her a toy to go home with when she didn’t have to do that at all! I really appreciate how kind and welcoming she was & will be booking again if I ever need to! I also appreciate all the cute and funny videos and pics I got while I was away. 5/5☺️ !”
“Zadie always loves her stays with Jacqueline and Sammy! She is treated so well and we are always kept up to date with pictures that makes us feel at peace.”

“Amy and her 8 Year old daughter were so loving and entertaining for our two dogs, Arlo and Otis. Both of our dogs love long walks and lots of love and enjoyed their stay with Amy and CeCe. We had a meet and greet a few days before we dropped the boys off and both dogs liked Amy and her daughter right away. Amy has a wonderful fenced in yard and close to town for great options for dog walks. We will definitely use her again on our next trip out of town.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. I also grew up with 4 medium sized dogs at a time. I have always had a love for animals and love to meet other fur babies. I have been able to follow feeding instructions and if needed have followed giving medications. Just a heads up I will not be accepting bookings from June on until I am sure where I will be after college. I’m currently a senior in college with only 2 classes and 2 labs, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I have a small, fenced yard and I have one yellow lab at home that is very dog friendly. I will follow up with you anytime I arrive at your house and will provide a recap of my time with your animal. I will follow all instructions given to me ahead of time to ensure you receive the best care for your furry friend. I will treat them as if they were my own and spend so much time ensuring they enjoy there time with me!

“I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my pups, keeping them happy, safe, and well-loved while I was away. Chelsea is reliable, friendly, and kept my mind as ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Amber was great with Mr B. We were kept in the loop regarding what he was up to with photos and messages and he was a happy pup when we picked him up:) Mr B had a great time with Lukas, Amber’s dog. Thank you Amber :))”


About: I’m a local college student with a super flexible schedule and exited attitude to help out whenever I can! I love animals and have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have experienced house sitting and also watching pets from my own home. I currently don’t have pets of my own making it a great environment to offer my home up to help others. I look forward to creating new relationships with clients and their fur babies! My schedule is currently fully open with it being summer time and I’m looking to fill this time with new bookings! I am able to give my full attention to the pet and can adapt to their needs! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood to walk in. I also do no have pets only own making it easier to watch your pet as well! I always want to put the pets needs first and make sure they are getting quality care!
