“Amazing! Sarah was incredibly helpful, flexible, and offered a great place for our pup during the holidays. Truly above and beyond a 5-star service!”


“She was absolutely amazing with Iris. I was worried about leaving iris as she is very attached but Elena made sure she adjusted well and had an absolute blast playing all week!! I 100% recommend her!”


“Racheal has been amazing with my teenage doberman. I can always count on her. After many visits... Mabel always looks forward to the next. That says alot. Thank you for taking care of her.”


“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”


“Excellent Rover! Left two of the pups with them for a 4 day trip after a meet and greet a few days prior. Was throughly impressed with the setup and home the dogs would be kept in. Between their 4 pups, a large fenced yard in the country, dog door, and access to the house I knew the pups would have thr best time. Recieved regular communication and updates. Older pup had his joint supplement maintained. Overall it was the ideal home away from home. Definitely intend to use again.”


“Loved Voss and his family Artic felt right at home I think and they were patient and kind to my little baby stitch. Thanks guys for helping even though it was only a few days notice!”



“Absolutely perfect sitter for my little dog. He's a puppy and needs individualized attention and care. Erin and her family are able to provide loads of it!”


“Hailie was amazing and took such good care of our Australian shepherd! She was very communicative and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! 😊”



“Casey and Colin were amazing during Queenie's stay. We got regular updates from her and the pics were amazing as well. Queenie has stayed a few times with Casey now and she has always had a great time with them and Boyd and comes back home happy. We would definitely recommend for taking great care of our puppy.”



“My two dogs loved staying at Kathryn’s house for a long weekend. Kathryn sent pictures and updates each day and I can tell they felt right at home. They seemed to absolutely loved her large, fenced yard- the pictures of them playing outside were great. We will definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!”


“Shelby was wonderful to work with. She sent daily updates of my pup and took the most beautiful photos! She was quick to respond to all of my inquiries. Would definitely book with Shelby again.”

“sarah was just fabulous with 🐶🥰. she was loving, attentive, followed our guidelines, reported often with photos and personable in addition. we highly recommend her and will certainly request her in the future. thks sarah.”


“Oh my gosh! What a wonderful dog sitter. Kailey was truly awesome when she cared for my two pups. It was obvious they were well taken cared of while I was gone. So much so they didn't seem at all glad to see me. And why? Because they had a beautiful energetic greyhound (Rocket) and Kailey to play with in the backyard. They had walks every day and healthy treats. They watched movies while sitting on her lap and on the couch beside her - all of them including Rocket. My bigger dog usually doesn't get along with other dogs but Kailey somehow managed to get them all to be friends and have fun together. She kept me posted while I was on my trip as to how the dogs were doing and sent me a picture of them. And Kailey herself is a real sweetheart. Warm, friendly, great sense of humor and young with the energy needed to keep up with the dogs. Her house is cozy, comfortable and dog friendly. I am extremely happy for the care my pups received while with her and I will be taking them back to Kailey's Getaway whenever I next need to leave town. I highly recommend this host!!”


“Jordan is Fiona’s best sitter so far. She is very communicative and sends lots of cute photos and updates, I didn't even have to ask. I enjoyed my trip to Istanbul knowing Fiona was in safe hands. Also loved seeing Fiona around her family and other dogs. ❤️”


“Jason and his sweet family took care of our golden retriever as if she were their own. We were so grateful to have them take her on walks, take pictures, and let her play with their pup. Thank you, Jason! We'll be back!”


“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”


“Amber was so sweet watching my dog Grace for a weekend trip! She even agreed to a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure my baby was comfortable! I appreciate the thought and effort she put into puppy sitting and hope to have her watch Grace again”


“Jennifer was so great! She provided regular updates and best of all great pics of Jessie and her playmates. This was Jessie’s first time from the family members. I was a little concerned at first about how Jessie would react. My fears were quickly erased and I now know Jennifer provides a great atmosphere for Jessie to deal with her separation from her family. I would greatly recommend Jennifer and will use her every time we need a sitter for Jessie! She earned and deserves a five star rating.”


“Teddy had such a great time! Consistent updates on his pawgress 🐾 with pictures showing how much fun, cuddles and 💗 he was getting during his doggy vacation.”


About: 🐾 A Home Away from Home | Loving, Reliable Dog Care 🏡🐶 About Me: As dog owners ourselves, I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pup while you’re away. Our family dog, Charlie, is a huge part of our lives, and whenever I travel, my biggest challenge is finding someone who will care for him like I do. That’s why I started offering dog-sitting—because I understand how much peace of mind matters. I love going to the dog park and exploring local trails, especially at Veterans Park. If you frequent the park, we’ve probably crossed paths! Your pup will enjoy plenty of outdoor time, playtime, and snuggles in a safe, loving, home environment—just like they would with you. Services We Offer: ✔ Overnight Boarding 🌙 – Your dog stays with us, just like family. ✔ Drop-In Visits 🏡 – Potty breaks, feeding, and playtime while you’re out. ✔ Dog Walking 🚶♂️ – Walks, fresh air, and park adventures. ✔ Medication Administration 💊 – If your pup needs extra care. ✔ Play & Socialization 🎾 – Structured activities to keep them happy and active. Why Choose Us? ✅ I have Been There – I know what it’s like to find the right pet care, and we treat your pup as our own. ✅ Safe & Loving Home – No kennels, just a cozy home environment. ✅ Park & Trail Adventures – Walks and playtime at Veterans Park and beyond. ✅ Daily Updates – Expect photos and videos so you can relax while you’re away. ✅ Flexible & Personalized – Every dog is different, and I adapt to their needs. When your pup stays with me, he/she is family—just like Charlie is. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to build my week around the dogs I care for. Whether your pup needs overnight care, daily drop-ins, or long walks, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. We live off off Man-O-War and Tates Creek Road. How I Care for Pets in My Home: 🏡 Home-Like Environment: Dogs staying with me will enjoy a calm, structured, and cozy home—just like they would with their own family. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and structured downtime so dogs feel safe and stress-free. 🦴 Enrichment & Exercise: I take dogs on walks in the neighborhood, to Veterans Park, and on nearby trails to keep them happy and active. 🛏 Personalized Comfort: Whether they love snuggling on the couch or prefer their own bed, I accommodate each dog’s routine to ensure a smooth stay.
