“Annika and John are wonderful! They took great care of my anxious and needy pup for a week and kept me in the loop with daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. They took note of all my dog’s needs and asked questions, I could tell they really cared. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and will happily rebook!”

“Lajetta was so great with Frankie. She took fantastic care of him, and sent lots of updates. It was great that she had play dates for him too! We really appreciated her flexibility and communication for pick up and drop off. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Barry was fantastic with Ollie! This was my first time using him, and I couldn't be happier. Ollie seemed incredibly relaxed, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. I really appreciated that Barry sent regular picture updates of their walks and nap times, which gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be using Barry again and highly recommend him!”

“Juan took great care of our dog and kittens. He sent pictures and updates while we were out of town. He responded quickly and was very friendly. For our next trip we will definitely use his services again.”

“Beatrix seemed to have had a wonderful time with Lisa! Lisa was very communicative and even helped out providing her own when I forgot to bring the batch I had premade for B's special food addition, saving me time of having to run home when I had to catch a flight. She provided pictures every day and made sure Beatrix was settled when dropping her off at my home and even sent a video. She checked in with me when Beatrix's arthritis was acting up before giving the "as needed" meds. I will definitely use Lisa again!”

“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”

“Gabby had the best time. It was such a gift not to have to worry about her alone in a kennel ... instead she was really enjoying herself with Sandy's friendly dogs. Thank you Sandy, for providing this high quality, kind service! Nora”
“Peter, was wonderful with our Mocha. Lots of updates with photos. We didn’t worry about her at all knowing he was with her. Peters son was great with Mocha as well. Lots of walks. She came home healthy and happy. Thank you Peter.🐶”


“Chava watched our dog during our wedding weekend and it was such a huge help! Penny came back happy and tuckered, which means she must have had a fun time. Thank you!!!”

“Milo has found his GO TO sitter🔥. Chris was amazing to work with and mind if i say very flexible and communicative. Our Milo had a blast staying with Chris And of course Bear and Cosmo. I would highly recommend his service to anyone. How he took the time to really get to know Milo is one thing but building a bond with him in such a short period of time is amazing. Really appreciate you Chris and looking forward to using your services again!”

“Dawn did a great job of making Maggie a part of her family. Maggie is a velcro dog and I was concerned about leaving her for an extended time. We have only left her occasionally for about four hours at a time. Maggie found a home away from home. She loved playing with Dawn's dogs and meeting Dawn's daughters. Dawn was great about sending photos and videos daily so I knew Maggie was in a good place. Thank you Dawn for taking such good care of Maggie!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I had three Black Labs over the years, and today I help care for our German Shepherd, Geo, who gets multiple walks every day and plenty of exercise. I also regularly care for my parents' dog while they're out of town, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. With my evening work schedule and my girlfriend's daytime schedule, someone is almost always home to provide care and attention. This allows us to maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Our family loves dogs, and the kids are always happy to offer gentle head scratches, belly rubs, and plenty of affection to dogs that enjoy the extra attention. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard with a doggie door, giving dogs safe access to the outdoors while still being supervised. Our German Shepherd, Geo, is a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new canine friends and already goes on three walks a day, so guest dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. Every dog has different needs, and I'm happy to adapt my care accordingly. Whether your dog is a high-energy breed that loves long walks and active play, or a senior companion who prefers shorter strolls, a quiet environment, and extra TLC, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and routine that's right for them.
“Jocelyn was great! We ended up having to change dates and she was flexible which was so nice! Our dog is always happy to spend time with Jocelyn and her two pups! So thankful we’ve found her!”


“Lily was in for a long stay while we were traveling in the UK. I could tell from the photos and interaction with Ron that she was happy and comfortable with her environment and I was never anxious about her care or well being. She probably got a lot more exercise than she does when she is at home and that's not a bad thing. I am very happy that I have found a great resource in Ron to help us take care of Lily when we cannot.”

“Amber and her family were awesome. She is definitely a Dog person. Went over and above any of my expectations. I feel very safe leaving any of my pets with her and her family. I will definitely use her again.”

“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”

“Debbie, Spoiled our Golden retriever -Chloe. Chloe immediately felt at home with Debbie and her dog Sammy. We got daily update’s and picture’s . Debbie’s house has a great fenced back yard so the dogs can run and play. She has dog beds throughout the house and cool house on hot summer days for the dogs. Highly recommend Debbie and will continue to rebook with her in the future.”


“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”

“Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.”

Kimo was an awesome sitter for our 8 year old Golden! He took her on multiple walks throughout the day, fully accommodated her routine, and was an overall great host. He sent many updates on how she was doing, pictures of her on walks, and kept us in the loop during our trip. We will definitely be booking Kimo for another stay the next time we cannot bring out pup with us :)

Tim was so great with Clem! He was really accommodating with my needs and schedule, and put my mind at ease when I expressed anxiety about leaving my dog with someone new especially since I was out of service for most of the time I was away and couldn’t check in. My dog has some reactivity issues but apparently she warmed up easily both with Tim and his kids, and I think that says a lot! I highly recommend Tim and I plan to continue going to him when I need dog sitting again in the future :)

Christopher was amazing with my senior dog! She has some special needs (supplements & medication to take at specific times of day) and he was great at following the details and caring for her. My dog loved the outdoor time with Christopher’s two dogs in the big yard too! Highly recommend.
Heath, Amy, and Ollie were awesome. They were easy to communicate and responded quickly to my texts. They met with us before to make sure everything would go smoothly. Heath made a piece of pottery of Cedar’s paw print, something I will treasure forever. Thank you for taking such good care of my Cedar!
