“NOVA had a Wonderful time with Jen. Nova is sweet and can be shy but has a lot of energy. Jen’s big fenced back yard is ideal for Nova who is a teenage dog to romp and play. This was Nova’s second time staying with Jen. Nova stayed (9) days and Jen communicated well, sent lots of pictures and gave updates on Nova’s routine while staying with her. I highly recommend Jen to watch Nova again. Any dog staying with Jen is in good hands.”


“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her! I had to go out of town for a few days and I got updates with pictures and she truly spoiled her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my Bella girl. Truly amazing at what she does!!!”


“Stephen has been the most responsive person I've ever left Aquiles with. A week before our scheduled drop off date he set up a meet and greet with my dog Aquiles and his dogs and it went great. During our 8 day trip, Stephen was constantly sending us picture so how much fun my pup was having and he looked very happy in every one of them. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry guy. I definitely hope to use your services in the future.”


“Boarded my cats with Sherry, and am really happy with the experience! I was nervous initially since I wasn’t sure how it would go with dogs at the residence, but she had that covered! Sections of the house are gated off, so my cats had their own space. I also appreciated her updating me with daily photos. If I need to board again I’d definitely do it through Sherry again!”



“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”


“Michelle was very sweet to my pups and extremely accommodating to my ever changing schedule! She took the time to ensure my Border Collie got exercise and that my senior Shitzu got plenty of comfy naps! She was also really great about sending pictures and updates. I’d absolutely recommend her!”


“Shannon was fantastic! She provided many pictures during our trip. I could tell that my two pups felt right at home. Easy communication and she had all our dogs’ things ready to go when we arrived, which was so nice since our flight was delayed coming home and we were very tired. I will definitely be using Shannon again in the future.”


“What a blessing . Kilo looked happy in every photo . Shay was right on time and communication was great . Thanks again . In the future you will be my first choice 👍🏾”


“Marie was everything we could ask for! She communicated with us daily. She sent photos of our puppy playing and that made all the difference. Her back yard was big enough for our GSP to run around and enjoy herself all day. Thank you so much Marie!”


“An absolutely perfect experience with Marley’s first time dog sitter! Mommy and Daddy were a mess but Anna quickly put our mind at ease. Best part? Your pet isn’t getting one sitter but a whole beautiful family to care for them! Marley came home happy and full of kisses! Highly recommended! Received daily updates and pics the entire time!”


“Jaime was absolutely wonderful and Darla enjoyed her stay very much! She was very flexible and sent picture updates while taking great care of our little girl. Will be rebooking in the future!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Lauren watch my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She treated my dog like her own, and I could tell he was in great hands. Honestly, I almost felt bad getting him back because he seemed so happy and well-cared for! Lauren provided me with plenty of pictures and updates, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to be worry-free during my time away. It's clear that she has a genuine love for animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they are comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Lauren, for taking such wonderful care of my Scooby!”


“Cassidy was very responsive and accommodating on short notice. Our dog enjoyed a night with her and she made it super easy to use boarding services. Thanks, Cassidy!”


“I don’t think there is enough space here for me to compliment Marina enough! Her patience and and attention to care, to dogs as well as their humans, can’t be beat. As a new dog mom to a higher maintenance adolescent pup, both my dog and I had lots of needs and questions. Marina attended to them all with 100% positivity and enthusiasm. Her love for what she does is apparent and I very much hope to be a repeat client.”



“Aaron is above and beyond excellent! He and his adorable family took incredible care of our boy, taking him out for walks multiple times a day, having him do tricks, and just spending time with him throughout the day. He was always in communication with us, sending us multiple pictures and videos throughout the stay. Aaron is as good as it gets!”


“I really appreciate Shayla and her family for watching Esco! I went on a 10 day trip and was nervous about being away from my dog for so long, but he was in great hands with Shayla. She was easy to book with and she is knowledgeable when it comes to caring for dogs. She updated me during his stay and I can tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”


About: I’ve grown up with both a dog and a cat for most of my childhood, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I’ve learned how to understand and respond to their needs with patience and love. That lifelong experience has given me a deep appreciation for pets and the joy they bring to our lives. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I go to work at 5 but only work about 4 hours. My main focus is to make sure your pet is well fed and comfortable. I will also take time to bond and play with them so they can feel safe.
