“Melissa and her family were absolutely terrific and treated our dog as if she were their own. Professional from pre-booking to pick-up, as well. We give her our thanks, future confidence and strongest possible endorsement.”


“I’m happy to have found Karyn and Patrick! They really love taking care of animals! They sent me pictures everyday with updates on how Oliver was doing. I highly recommend them! Their puppy Levi is adorable!”


“10⭐️ Could not rate any higher! Lindsay took exceptional care of our dog Keegan for a week! She was very attentive to him, took him for frequent walks, gave us regular updates and formed a real bond with him that made him feel safe! Keegan will be back to hang out with Lindsay soon!”


“Jennifer was exceptional with Hank! I was very nervous leaving him for the first time with someone new but she took such amazing care of him! She spoiled him more than we do which I didn’t think was possible! She was so responsive and communicated with me multiple times a day with updates including pictures and videos. She even found out one of the treats I had been giving him was upsetting his stomach! I can’t recommend Jennifer enough and will always use her when we have to leave Hank!”


“Donna was a breath of fresh air very welcoming. She took to Blue my pup instantly I appreciated the knowledge she passed on to me... Donna was accommodating at our last minute request we were pleased with knowing our pup was in good hands. We will most definitely be using her again in the near future.”



“Rudy had a wonderful time and he can't wait to see you for New Year's!!! I haven't felt this comfortable leaving Rudy overnight! Thank you for taking such good care of him!! Suzanne & Rudy xoxo”


“Louis was amazing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know if they need a dog sitter. He was super attentive to all my dogs needs and went above and beyond to make sure my dog Stew had the best time. He took Stew for multiple hikes a day letting him roam around and sniff everywhere and also made sure he got to run around and be free! Louis kept me updated with how he was settling in and sent lots of photos through the day without me even having to ask which I appreciate since I’m always missing my baby when I’m gone! I 100% trust Louis to watch stew every time I go away!”


“Alyssa was amazing with our pup for a weekend. We got plenty of updates and didn’t worry about him at all while away for a wedding. She handled his meds like a pro and also made sure he was comfortable at night. He was spoiled by her backyard and the devoted attention from her family members! Would absolutely book with her again - thank you Alyssa!”


“Kimberline was a the perfect host for our Sadie. Our dog ran into her house and never looked back. When we picked her up she was happy to see me, but ai knew she missed Kimberline and her family.”


“Daisy had the best time! Shannon made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her 2 fur babies. Daisy met two adorable friends and was so happy! Thank you Shannon.”


“OMG!!!! Last minute booking and we could not be more happy. Alissa responded promptly to our last minute booking after us choosing her due to the many great reviews. We can definitely understand why all the great reviews. Not only did our fur baby have the time of his life meeting new friends, they kept us up to date with all his great interactions by sending us photos and texting us to let us know how he was doing. Also a great plus, our fur baby came home cleaner than we sent him. Excellent do sitters, an absolute recommend.”


“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”


“There are not enough good words to say about Kathryn!!! My dog Brody was in the absolute best of care. From the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up! She was sure to send a lot of pictures and videos. I can tell she truly has a love for animals. She made sure Brody felt right at home!!! Not only would I be using her again for my dog- I would HIGHLY recommend her services. She clearly has a lot of experience, knowledge, and love for animals!! I am so happy to have found her that I can leave my dog and have not a worry in the world - because he was in the best of hands with her. So thankful to have found the best dog sitter around!!!”


About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.

Your babies will have my love and attention. I do pet massage for aging pets or pets recovering from injuries. I have been in the medical field, for thirty years and enjoy helping people and pets. I have had many pets over the years and have cared for many other animals as well. I have experience with cats and dogs, from puppies to the elderly. I had horses and even had a pet duck that lived with me from 2nd grade until My senior year of high school! Your Pet's safety and comfort are top priority. I also want you to feel comfortable, and at ease knowing your furry family is in my loving, caring, capable hands while you are away. I am available for your pet's needs! While you are at wort or play. I am here to care for your furry loved ones, and put your mind at ease. Pet care is my passion and a priority. I have a fenced yard for safety.
