4. Zackery K.
About: My name is Zack. I have had dogs my entire life. I have owned all different breeds of dogs. From miniature pinscher to pit-bull terriers. I started training my own dogs 20+ years ago. As I have gotten older, it grew with me. I enjoy playing with dogs and training them. I currently have my own dog training business on the side. So while your dog is with me, I will take special care of him/her and your dog will have a lot of fun. I also have 4 dogs of my own that we got from the shelter. Two are lab mixes, 1 is a maltese mix and 1 is an AustralianCattleDog. I also have 2 kids in their teens that help me with training dogs and also help me with dogs I take care of and take for walks. My wife and kids love dogs just as much as I do. Dogs are family in this home, not pets. I'm just glad my kids enjoy it as much as I do because it's a great way to teach my kids while spending quality time with them. My family and I have plenty of time with your pet while they are here for play time, walk time, socializing, lounge time and more. I currently have 4 dogs myself that are dog friendly that ur fur family can play with. I also have crates for dogs if I feel like dogs need a break from eachother. Your pet is treated like family in our home.

“One of the few people I've meet who have put there heart and soul into loving animals. She loves and cares for dogs in a way that not many people are able to and that is truly special.”
7. Mia P.
“Mia is a fantastic dog sitter. She really treated my dog as her own. She also cares how the dog feels and offers love to my dog. For example, she turned on music to calm down the dog when she left the house. I am very happy to see my dog came back home with healthy and happy mood.”
8. Lydia L.
“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”

11. Haylie H.
“I would recommend Haylie and her family! They took care of our new addition to our family while we were away a few days. They were very understanding of her anxiety of being away from her family for the first time since we got her. They took good care of her. She was clean and everything I dropped off for her was also well cared for. She sent multiple videos and photos throughout the stay. I would rebook with Haylie in the future.”
12. Samantha N.
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
