“Shannon was a great sitter for Victor! She kept me posted about how he was doing every two days. We will definitely choose Shannon for next sitting. Thanks!”


“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”


“Cooper had a great visit as always... I always feel so comfortable leaving him and he enjoys his visits with Kelly and her family... Thanks Kelly...”


“She did not lie when she said she was “The Cat Lady” lol. She was amazing to our 2 fur babies and welcomed them in and treated like her own. She communicated very well, she didn’t judge when I came in with instructions on their feeling schedule lol and she was very sweet. A great experience overall. Thank you”


“Nicole was amazing! She kept us updated the entire time she watched our dogs and we can definitely understand why she has so many repeat families. Highly recommend!”


“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”


About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).

“Both our senior dog with medical needs and our younger dog LOVE to visit Christina! They happily walk in when we drop off which is a big change from previous boarding places. So glad we found Christina! It is such a weight off our shoulders when traveling knowing that our dogs are comfortable and in good hands.”


“Alysa was great! She stayed in communication with me and provided photos throughout the time. I would definitely book through her again!!”


“Leah was great she send me pictures of Hershey the whole stay and her communication was on point as well. Hershey had 1 accident while he was there. We communicate about what could have made him have an accident and she was just overall great about the whole situation and the whole day.I will book her again whenever”


“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”



“She’s so AMAZING! If you are in search of a sitter..look no further! I promise she’s the BEST! My fur baby absolutely LOVES Ebony & her home! Thank you again so much, we appreciate you!”


“Joy was able to watch my dog on short notice. She was great to work with. I like she had a fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again.”



“Great communication. Lots of pictures of happy dogs, genuine Karen concerned for the animals. Ready and willing to fill above and beyond as needed.”


“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”


“I was very much pleased with the care they was provided to my pup! She provided updates regularly and made sure he got all the belly scratches. If you are looking for someone you can fully rely on you will not be disappointed!”


“I was very scared to leave my fur baby with someone for the very 1st time but Ms Chelsea did an awesome job with my Lexi. I will be using her again in the future. Thanks for all the luv n care given to Lexi”


“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”


“Finneas felt so at home and comforted with Ellie (& fiancé-sorry I forgot his name!) and Goldie! He is typically pretty timid and shy, but he warmed up to them very quickly. He enjoyed play time in the back yard, walks, and playing with Goldie and the neighbor dogs. He now considers Goldie to be one of his best friends. Our trip was stress free because of Ellie sending pictures and videos letting me know Finneas was having a great time. Thank you guys so much for taking care of our guy! We would definitely have you keep him again if we’re back in the area.”


“Amy and James always provide excellent car for Belle. She’s happy to see them and loves all the attention they provide her. We will definitely request them again next time we need to board her.”
