Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)

Jessie is great with animals and took very good care of Dally. She was very patient and responded kindly when Dally tried to out-smart her and caused trouble. Highly recommend!

Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!

This was the 3rd time I’ve left my dogs with Bonnie and this time it was for 7 days. I feel completely at ease leaving them with her because she treats my dogs as her own. She makes chicken for them, gives treats and sends pics. She also gave one of my dogs extra care due to her fear of fireworks.

Max always gets so excited to go to Chad‘s house. It’s like we’re going to visit his doggy family. Chad is very careful in picking the other dogs that he watches so Max has always had a good experience if another dog is there

Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!

This was the ideal home for my 13-year-old boy Dimitri to spend the holidays (if it couldn’t be with our family). Alli and her family (including her husband, 3 daughters, and 2 sweet doggies) gave Dimitri lots of love and comfort. He was excited to see us pick him up, but I could tell he was going to miss spending time with them. As sad as I was to leave him for Christmas, I couldn’t have asked for a better home for him to go to. I will definitely contact them again the next time we are going out of town!

About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.

Onrae was amazing! He met with us two consecutive days prior to the stay for a meet and greet to calm our fears of a first stay but a long stay for our sweet boy. He responded during the long stay with pictures and videos to let us know how our dog was doing. He was timely and very responsive and accommodating. Will certainly use him again!
