Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!

Ronnie went over and above! I can only recommend him highly! He was flexible with my schedule and loved my babies like they were his own! I will definitely be booking again! I’ve had multiple sisters and none of them made my dogs and cats as happy! He sent pictures and was immediate in communicating with me!

Shea was wonderful, she watched my dog in my house and took good care of the house and my dog. She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!

Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.

I wish I could book Rylie every time we traveled. Are pets are so loved and cared for and we came home to a picked up house, mail brought in, a cleaned out litter box, and happy kitties and a puppy. She sends great updates/pics, and truly has my animals best interest at heart. This is our 2nd time booking her and would 100% use her again.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have raised chickens, goats, pigs, cows, and so much more! I have experience with all types of pet care! I am a collegiate swimmer at home for the summer. I will have some practices mostly in the morning, sometimes in the evening. I will have lots of time to take care of your pets and be available when needed! I have a yard with two other fun pups where they have lots of space to play in. I will make sure to let your pet out where you prefer and do what is most comfortable for them!

Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. I have booked her twice now and she goes above and beyond, communicates well and regularly, and somehow leaves my home cleaner than when she arrived. 😂 She sends photos and videos often, and somehow it is always right when I’m thinking about my sweet kitty. I am very anxious when leaving my ragdoll and have felt super comfortable knowing she is with Jessica. Your pet is definitely in great hands with her!
