“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amanda and Phoenix took great care of our dog, and he came home happy and relaxed. It was clear he felt comfortable and really enjoyed his time with them.”
“Kim and David were incredible pet sitters for our dog, Cookie! They instantly put us at ease and treated Cookie with utmost care and attention. When we returned, Cookie was happy and well-cared for, and it was evident that she had been in excellent hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking loving and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“My dog seemed happy during her stay while we were vacationing in the area. Heidi had great communication with quick responses and accommodated the times we needed for drop off and pick up. I appreciated the pictures she sent. It was nice to have our dog with a family rather than in a kennel. Would recommend and use again if we head that way. Thank you!”
“Miriam was absolutely wonderful with my dog Daisy. Miriam and her entire family worked around Daisy’s special needs and gave her the best time ever. I’m pretty sure Daisy did not want to return home after spending 3 days in doggy heaven with Miriam.”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Suzanne and her family were wonderful with dog. He is a bit anxious so he needs to be somewhere out of town where he can be off leash. At Suzanne’s house he walks in the woods and plays with her older dog. He bonded with Suzanne’s son and I got lots of pictures. Suzanne was very flexible on both drop off and pick up time as I was traveling with friends and didn’t have an exact time. We will definitely be back to Suzanne’s house for dog care.!”
“Hallie took great care of our small senior pup, Finnegan while we were away. She sent lots of photos (which we loved) of their adventures. Lots of walks & even some beach time! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future if you need care.”
“Wendy is wonderful! They have a very professional setup, from air conditioned kennels, to individual kennels/runs for each dog, and keeping us informed on how the dogs were doing during their stay. When we picked up our dogs up they were happy and healthy. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs(large and small) from puppy age to elderly dogs. I have raised 2 litters of lab puppies also. I have 2 female labs now both are fixed and live inside. I have 6ac but it’s not fenced My 2 labs keep me busy during the day with walks and playtime. I love hiking with my dogs and taking them to the lake My dogs are super friendly and love having other dogs around to play with. I can watch dogs in my home or yours. Also available for walks
“Absolutely incredible sitter — cannot recommend enough! We found Autumn last minute for the holidays and honestly feel so lucky that we did. From the moment we met her, we knew Izzy was in the best possible hands. She has extensive dog training experience, and her own dogs have won competitions — and it really shows in the calm, confident, and loving way she cares for every pup. Izzy stayed inside her home, which made such a difference for us. It felt like she was staying with family, not boarding. We rarely leave Izzy, so I was extremely nervous — but Autumn immediately put us at ease with her knowledge, communication, and genuine love for dogs. She provided updates, made sure Izzy felt comfortable, and treated her like one of her own. This was hands down the best boarding experience we could have hoped for. If you’re looking for someone who is: • Highly experienced • Skilled in training • Kind, patient, and trustworthy • Offers a true home environment — look no further. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants the very best care for their dog. 🐾🐾💛🐾🐾”
“Serena was incredibly good with our dogs! I was so nervous to leave my dogs with other dogs because they are unpredictable when meeting other pups but Serena put all my worries to ease when we dropped the dogs off with her to go on our vacation. She sent pictures to reassure us that the dogs were doing fantastic! It even worked out that she was able to drop them off at our home when we still at the airport. I definitely recommend Serena to trust with your fur babies!”

About: Hi pet parents 👋 A little bit about me - I grew up in Texas and have years of experience with caring for animals. I love spending time outdoors.

“Abby takes pet care to a level I never thought possible, she is the best we’ve ever found, and our dog June adores her like a beloved family member. Abby’s love for animals runs so deep and it shows in the absolute top-level care and attention she gives to fur babies. She also lives a non-toxic lifestyle and is an expert on human and pet nutrition, so we feel so safe and at peace whenever our dog is with her— no chemical exposures, no weird fragrances when we get our dog back (which has been an issue with pet sitters in the past), and we know our dog is getting the most nourishing, high-quality food and treats when she’s with Abby. Abby has even helped guide us on tweaking our dog’s diet for better outcomes, and at 7.5 years old, our dog June has never been healthier and so vibrant, which we attribute to Abby’s help. Abby is passionate about giving dogs the utmost in outdoor adventures and healthy socialization when she’s caring for them, and our June comes home from her house so fulfilled, balanced and at peace (in the past with other pet sitters our dog has come home more anxious and on edge, but this is certainly never the case with Abby on watch). Abby also keeps up on communication and check-ins when we’re away, sending pictures and updates, and my gosh what a magical life these pets have when they are with Abby! It’s a dog’s dream!!! We have so much peace of mind when we leave our dog June with Abby, which is something every pet owner deserves to feel when they’re away for a while. Abby is an angel, and the warmth and love she provides in her home is incredible, it’s not something you see often. I can think of no one better to leave your beloved fur babies with. When people say she’s a dog whisperer, they aren’t kidding. See for yourself. She’s amazing.”
About: Choosing the right sitter is so very important. Cleanliness, dependability and attention. I live alone and currently have no other pets. So I can provide the proper setting for you to be comfortable and at ease when you're away. All of my past pets lived long and healthy lives, even the fish!! I work from home and am accustomed to having "pet" company. I am also active and do a lot of walking in my neighborhood and trails. Depending on your pets needs, I can adjust. I do not have a fenced yard, but it's large and live on a lake should they like to swim. I am accustomed to giving meds & insulin shots as well.
“Mikey is amazing! My dogs get nice long walks and lots of snuggles and play time. She keeps me updated on how they are doing while they are with her. She is our favorite dog sitter for our two dogs!”

Hallie is amazing. She was very responsive over the app/via text message. I really appreciated her flexibility in picking up my dog after my trip - I was a little behind schedule and she so kindly waited for me and had everything ready to go as soon as I arrived. My dog loved her as well and had a great stay!
