“My dogs always have a fantastic time at Nancy’s! I never have to worry about them when I drop them off and they are always so happy to see her. I know they’re well taken care of. And she’s good with communicating and sending updates!”


“Abigail was amazing! We did a meet and greet first and she welcomed us to her home where we also got to meet her sweet family. We discussed my the visit and she got to know Ash. Her home and family were clean and welcoming. While I was out of town, Abigail was excellent at sending regular updates with lots of loving and walks. I could tell my pup was in heaven. Our pets are part of our family and it feels great knowing someone gives them the same love we do while in their care. I highly recommend Abigail and would book with her again.”


“OH my goodness!!! Where do I start?!? John and his wife are absolutely AMAZING!!! My family and I went on a 7 day cruise, but they had my dog for 9 days and totally spoiled my dog as their own. They sent plenty of pictures and videos each day and were super communicative and are just wonderful people! When I picked up my dog, I could instantly tell that he was treated so well!! I could enjoy my vacation in peace and not worry!”


“Professional, flexible, responsive, and polite. Excellent care provided for our fur-baby with daily pictures as a way for us to check in on our dog. We will definitely use her again and will recommend her.”


“Koda absolutely loves staying with Erica & Robert! They update us daily and we feel safe and comfortable with him in their care. We are so thankful for them!”


“Jonathan did an amazing job of caring for our mini-goldendoodle, Ally! She enjoyed all the attention and walks. We appreciated getting cute video and photo updates every day. Great job!”


“Ana went above and beyond in taking care of Chewie and made sure he was comfortable during his stay with her. I appreciated all the video and pictures she sent me throughout the day. Thanks Ana!”


“Destiny was wonderful with our 10 yr old high anxiety pup that had never been boarded before. Updates were great and I was confident he was in good hands. We would not hesitate to book with Destiny again!”


“I cannot even put into words how thankful I am for Alyssa’s care. I needed a sitter last minute for my cat, due to an emergency fix situation in my home, and she was responsive, available, and picked up/dropped off for me which made the entire ordeal so much more manageable. She was communicative and sweet through the entire process and I am just so appreciative. Will definitely rebook in the future ❤️”


“I do not have enough words to express what a fantastically wonderful dog uncle Ernest is. He is hands down the best, he is no longer our sitter, he is family!”



“Krystal is the best! I traveled from Houston for my brother’s graduation with prearranged plans for my dog while we was busy for the weekend. Long story short, my dog sitter had to cancel last minute, leaving me little time to find arrangements. Krystal was able to accommodate my dog last minute. Throughout Stormi’s stay, Krystal gave me regular updated photos and treated her as if she was her own. Thank you again Krystal!”


“Ali & Priscilla took great care of our Ace while we were out of town for a week. They sent pix of him playing and making new friends. Thank you so much for opening your home to our pup! Would use again :)”


“Molly was absolutely fantastic with Kobe! Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and making sure we felt comfortable while we were away. She was so thoughtful in how she cared for Kobe—making sure she had plenty of walks, outside time, and play to keep her happy and engaged. It was clear that Molly really cared and went above and beyond to provide a great level of care. We couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Ms Lily was so incredibly helpful and took good care of our big ol Bernedoodle. She sent photos and communicated with us frequently, and when we picked up Buster, you could tell he had already bonded with Ms. Lily and trusted her completely. That's what you love to see when you leave your doggie with someone. We would not hesitate in getting her to watch him again.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, helping out neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and looking after their pets. Most recently, I fostered a dog for two weeks and absolutely loved having her around. I've also trained several puppies to get ready for adoption, focusing on basic obedience and good behavior. While I'm not a certified trainer, I'm confident in teaching dogs of all ages, puppies to seniors, commands like sit, lay down, name recall, and gentle behavioral correction. I treat every dog like they're my own and work hard to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I'm free in the evenings and always happy to spend that time playing with your pups. I'm also off on weekends, which makes me fully available for walks, drop-ins, and weekend boarding. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make time for it in my schedule. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with easy access to nearby lawns, dog trails, and dog parks; perfect for daily walks and playtime. I'm comfortable crating your dog if needed or simply being there to keep them company. Whether your pup needs exercise, essential care while you're away, or just a reliable nap buddy, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way.

“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
