“Brooke and her loving family gave my Papillons (Gracie and Yoshi) 24/7 care! Brooke sent photos and updates on their well being, which gave me a peace of mind while on my trip! I highly recommend her if you have upcoming travel plans or just need a wonderful sitter to complete projects around the house.”
“Kiara was taken such good care of while I was away. Sarah sent updates with pictures of my sweet girl and she was treated her like she was part of the family. Between Sarah and her animals Kiara had a fantastic time and I knew from the beginning that she was in great hands. Will absolutely have Kiara stay with her any time I’m away.”
“I can tell Taco felt like part of the family. They sent a few pictures as well. Would definitely use them to watch her again. Thanks so much!”
“Kathy was great with our 2 dogs. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. She kept them on their schedules and she sent pictures and updates to us, so we could stay informed. Any time I requested an update Kathy was very prompt. We picked up the same happy and healthy dogs we dropped off. We highly recommend her!!”
“I give 5 stars!! We used Kelly for the first time for both our dogs. We had another Rover sitter cancel on us last minute and Kelly was available for us even though she never met the dogs. She had a very organized set up and routines which I was impressed with. She is very knowledgeable about dogs & their behaviors. She gave us some pics & updates during their stay. I was very comfortable leaving them with her and will def use her in the future. My pup came home and passed out for about 14hrs straight because of all the play time they had there.”
“Jackson had a fantastic time. Bradley & Stephanlee took care of my boy and treated him like family. Was attentive to any request I had. Communication was fast and easy.”
“We were very happy with Daisy and Harpers stay with Shanna! She is very communicative and easy to work with. Daisy and Harper were very well taken care of and the pictures Shanna sent us from the nature walks were beautiful! We plan to rebook for a summer trip!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful. She showed so much care and interest in my two Pomeranians. She was highly interested in making sure she knew and took care of all my doggie needs. I would highly recommend her, especially if you have older dogs requiring special attention.”
“Loved loved loved Amanda! I was so very nervous about letting my dog go anywhere. She’s a very soft and non chalant dog and I was worried she may be too non-chalant for someone. Amanda eased ALL those fears plus more. She allowed me to let Nala stay for a day and see how she would do before doing my boarding. Turns out Nala LOVES it there! So much so, I plan to have her come for daycare MUCH more often . THANK YOU Amanda for an AMAZING experience for me & my furbaby! If you’re reading this, trying to decide if she’s right for you, let me go ahead and say SHE IS!”
“They were very flexible with drop off and pick up. I loved getting pictures every day and my doggies really seemed to enjoy their yard and snuggling with their daughter. Great experience!”
“Janicia and her family took great care of my Cooper. She sent pictures and updates daily. Would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies. Will be using again when we go away.”

“Wow! Chelsey was the best!! My pup didn't even miss me 😊”
“Amber did a great job caring for our goldendoodle! She was able to accommodate us on short notice. She was very quick to communicate with us!”

“Great experience dogs seemed to have had a good time they were well cared for. Communication was great. Super nice I would highly recommend. Will definitely use again. Price is good.”
About: I have years of experience with animals going back as far as 5 years old. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and even different types of birds. I've always loved teaching animals new tricks, cuddling, even watching them get the zoomies outside. Animals can be a lot of fun when you let them experience different environments and aspects of life. I also had a job at a pet boarding place. This consisted of being outside with the dogs in runs, playing with them, cleaning the rooms and more. I have 2 dogs at home. One boxer and one german shepard. I work a lot so when i'm home I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I am home. One of the things my german shepard likes to do is chase water from the hose, so during the summer time, we do that a lot. On the other hand, Tyson is a little bit older but he still gets the zoomies, he likes to playfully growl outside but then when he's done, he likes to sun bathe lol. To include all this, I also have 2 guinea pigs who need lots of attention. I try to bring them out of the cage by 1 everyday to spend quality time with them because they're very loving. They enjoy being outside and eating the clover, they sure do appreciate when they get their veggies! They need their nails trimmed about once a week so I do keep up with that. Bathing them isn't a high priority since they just like cats and bathe themselves but a bath once every 3-4 months will be perfect. Our dog tyson, tends to get scared of storms really easily, so when this happens I try to comfort him as much as possible wether that's putting on his jacket, letting him up on my bed because he's scared and needs some cuddles.
“We greatly appreciated Diana's hospitality towards our dogs. Diana has the perfect personality to make any dog feel as if they're spending their time away from home with a second family instead of a stranger. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will look forward to having our dogs watched by them during our future travels.”
“They were great!! We got pics and he was a happy boy when we got him back. He was clean and smelled like our baby. They followed all the instructions as our boy has a sensitive stomach.”
“Katelyn was amazing! She exceeded my expectations. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which was helpful because of my hectic work schedule. She also provided updates and pictures daily, which was great because I missed my two dogs. Both of my dogs have anxiety issues, and Katelyn was excellent with them. I could tell from the pictures that they felt comfortable and enjoyed their time with her. I would definitely recommend Katelyn, and I will book her again the next time I go on vacation.”
