“Jayda was absolutely amazing! She sent me pictures and updates on my animals! You can tell she really cares about animals. She even brought in a package left on my porch. I would definitely invite her to watch my animals again ❤️ if I ever need to.”


“Candace was so communicative and loving to our fur babies. She sent us multiple pictures at each visit with a complete report on what she had done and how the animals were doing during the visit. I absolutely recommend her and will be using her for all future bookings!”


“Aubrey took care of my 5 year old kitty while I was away on travel for ten days. She put fresh food and water out, cleaned the litter box and even brought the mail in during my absence. She provided me with status and photos every day after her visits, and I had zero complaints upon return.”

“Kerry was great with Simba and Mom! He was caring and conscientious about all aspects of their care. He kept me informed through photos and text messages after every visit.”


“Danii is a rockstar! She did drop in visits on my 2 pups while we were on vacation. She was absolutely amazing and we will for sure use her for all future needs. I loved that she communicated well and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pups as well!”


“If I could give Crowe and Taylor a 100 out of 5, I absolutely would! These two went *above and beyond* in every way possible. Just a day before my flight, my senior pup had an emergency vet visit and was prescribed time-sensitive medications. I had to make last-minute changes to the care schedule, and they were not only incredibly understanding, but also immediately adjusted everything without hesitation—which was such a huge relief during an already stressful time. They cared for my dogs with so much love and attention. They followed every instruction to the letter, kept my home spotless, and even cleaned up after my dogs (one of whom had tummy troubles all weekend). I came back to happy pups and a clean home, which says everything about the level of care they provided. Crowe and Taylor are kind, respectful, responsible, and truly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to rebook them for future trips. Highly, *highly* recommended!”


“Holly was great with lil Anne. She kept me well informed on her well-being as it was the first time I had used this app. She took plenty of pictures and have me updates about eating and movement. Will use her again”


“Elizabeth and her daughter were amazing with my two big dogs and my two cats. They spent time with each one and they seemed happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Elizabeth. Will use her again next time!”


About: *I do not accept clients that are not spayed/neutered- please don’t ask for an exception! I’ve personally owned and taken care of other animals for over 18 years. Kennel experience, farm sanctuary volunteer, dog foster mom, animal rescue / spay & neuter clinics in 3rd world country experience. Long time vegan and animal rights advocate. I will treat and love your furry friend as my own. I’m a home maker, having left the real estate industry. I now have the best job in the world as a stay at home dog mom to my little guy and my clients 🤍 *I prefer to not book out more than 6 weeks in advance, see above for availability I have a large yard that is 100% fenced. Your furry friend hangs out with me in the home and will go on leashed walks in my neighborhood and sometimes nearby parks. Supervised playtime in the yard. My home has a fully finished basement with a large doggie play area. It’s a walk out for easy access to go potty and head out for walks. I am home with clients most of the day. Expect your doggo to get plenty of one on one and personal attention. My day is structured around my boarding and daycare routine. My home has a large 100% fenced yard. Designated doggie areas include the entire yard, upstairs living room and entire basement, which is finished and converted into a doggie day camp area. Dogs who are crated during the night will be in one of the designated areas. I always aim to keep each environment cozy, relaxed and safe for each client.

“Super last minute back out from my neighbor and Laura was awesome! My girl looked so happy in all of the pics, got walked and taken to the park. Got back to me fast and was super communicative about everything. Definitely plan on having her come check in on my girl for the next work trip away”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but I have watched other’s dogs on and off for the past 20 yrs. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked in a Veterinarian Clinic as a kennel tech/bather and in a dog daycare/boarding facility that at times could have an upwards of 100 dogs. I have some knowledge of dog health care, administering medications and tending to wounds. I am very good at reading dog body language as well. I do require some things. Your dog must be up to date on all vaccinations and I do suggest doing a meet and greet before hand. I also live in a fourplex so I can’t have dogs that bark excessively unless you have a vibrating collar of some sort that can manage it. That being said, caring for dogs is not a job to me but something I love more than anything and just an absolute privilege! I’m currently working part time so I still have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also live very close to my work so I can come and let the dogs out. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom apartment fourplex. There’s a ton of green grassy yard to play on. I do have to keep dogs on a leash since it’s not fenced in. I also have a couple very long cable lead outs. Inside they’re more than welcome to come cuddle on the couch.

Kayla J.
“Kayla watched our little girl, Georgia twice now and both times she came home happy and healthy. She sent me updates and photos throughout the week so I knew she was doing alright. Kayla has a love of all animals and treats them like they are all her own. It gave us comfort to know she was in good hands while we were away. She even let Georgia be the queen bee she desperately wants to be in our home of 3 dogs. Haha. I recommend kayla and will be using her dog watching services again.”
