“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“Hope was phenomenal and we will absolutely use her again! Any concern of mine was addressed promptly, concerns of hers were brought to my attention right away, and she sent plenty of updates and pictures. Thabk you!”
“As always Lisa is amazing with my little old lady and will always be a repeat customer. Cannot recommend her enough if you have a senior pup that you just want a calm, quiet "home" feel boarding situation.”
“Tyler was incredibly quick to respond, provided frequent updates and pictures, along with descriptions of the dog’s interactions. Our Dalmatian is socially anxious and does not typically do well away from us. With Tyler, she was well taken care of and given all the cuddles she demanded. Our Lab was entertained and loved on, just as he likes.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have relied on me to help doggy sit, bathe, walk, and train their precious puppies. Our little family will love your precious doggy just like our own! This will be their home away from home! I'm currently interning for my church but my internship will be over on May 15th. For now, i can help any afternoon after 3pm! Or I'm available Fridays and Saturdays. I'm not available on Sundays as I attend/serve at my church. Once my internship is over, I will be staying home to take care of my pups and kid. I will treat your pets and home with the same respect I expect others to give mine. I have 2 Blueticks who are dog friendly, but if you prefer for me to keep them separated, I can absolutely do that! I will not leave your dog unattended. When we conduct a meet and greet, you can address any concerns you may have.
“Carri was absolutely amazing with our puppy! She took such great care of him and kept us updated the whole time (pictures included), which gave us so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. We will definitely be using Carri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾”
“Lauren was AMAZING! It was my 1st time boarding Maggie and I could not have hoped for a better experience! Maggie was treated like family and didn’t even know I was gone. Lauren was communicative the entire time with updates , pics and videos. I highly recommend! We will be visiting Lauren and Maggie’s new family often!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! This was my dog’s first stay with someone other than family so he was a bit sad but Elizabeth always sent pictures and updates of how he was doing. It made our vacation away stress free knowing he was in the hands of an animal lover who truly cares about dogs. Her house is very clean and she is just as nice as can be. Highly recommend for anyone who is leaving their doggie for a few days. She has the perfect courtyard in the back of her home with a gate to let the dogs out and have some outside time. I was very happy with Kobe’s stay and she always made sure he was attended to.”
“Scott was great! He sent lots of photos and my dog seemed really happy and comfortable during his stay. I also appreciated that he only takes smaller dogs. I would use him again in future.”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“I will never leave my dog with anyone else. Cyndie & her family treated my dog like their own. Cyndie kept me updated with pics and how Rocky’s day was going. I’m truly grateful for her and her family. Look no further for a pet sitter! Cyndie will always be my go to when I go out of town.”
“Brandon did a great job, daily detailed feedback on our two week trip and even cooked for them when their food ran out. The dogs looked healthy and happy when we picked them up, we can tell they had a blast hanging out with other pups. Would recommend”
“After unfortunately, needing a sitter for my dog exactly one week before I left town for Christmas and everywhere else as full. I had the pleasure of booking with Kayahja over Christmas week. Honestly, she was a godsend and the best sitter I’ve ever had for my pup Bentley. From the start, he was so comfortable with her and her three adorable dogs. She listened to every need that Bentley has and he had the best time with her. She was very communicative and sent me daily updates, photos and videos of Bentley reassuring that he was having the best time. Kayahja treated Bentley like he was one of her own pups. Even sending him off with a big hug and his fave ball from her home. Needless to say, we have found our permanent sitter for Bentley. I highly recommend Kayahja to care for your dog!”
“Misty is my go-to dog sitter! i’ve booked with her multiple times and she’s always great. She has a nice house with a spacious backyard and a flexible schedule for pick up and drop off. My dog loves her and her dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
