Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰

Renee was absolutely amazing watching our dog Winston for two weeks while we were in Italy. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos, messages, and little check-ins, which honestly made being away from him so much easier. It genuinely felt like Winston was on his own vacation while we were gone! You could tell he was so loved, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Renee went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to a very happy dog.  If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, caring, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Renee enough. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

Very appreciative of Kerry’s updates, and we could tell that Riggs felt comfortable and happy the whole time we were away. Kerry is wonderful!

She took amazing care of Jack and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly loves animals. Jack felt comfortable and well cared for, and I had total peace of mind while he was with her. Communication was great, with updates and quick responses, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional caregiver for their pet. I will definitely book with her again.

I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.

I recently got a new puppy and I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone while I worked overnight. I needed a dogsitter ASAP who could accommodate several needs, #1 An overnight sitter #2 Watching a puppy #3 Close to my work #4 watching a puppy still needing all their vaccines and shots. Tony has been an excellent sitter for me. He checked all of my requirements and has been a great resource providing me advice. I recommend him to anyone.

Repeat customer. I don’t want to take Onyx anywhere else. Deena understands giant breeds better than most. Onyx comes home happy, well-rested, having enjoyed his play time w other dogs and endless snuggles w Deena. She’s also attentive and conscientious, pointing out a hot spot that I had not seen on Onyx’s hip. 10 stars, highly recommend.

Marquita and Maya were absolutely amazing with my Bailey Rae! I was away for nearly a week celebrating my 60th birthday in Punta Cana, and they gave me complete peace of mind. I received daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was obvious that Bailey wasn't just being boarded—she was being loved. Maya and Bailey formed such a sweet bond that by the end of the stay, Bailey would actually whine when Maya left the room. As a dog mom, that told me everything I needed to know. Communication was excellent, updates were consistent, and Bailey looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for every single day. Honestly, my only complaint is that they may have spoiled her more than I do! 😊 I trust them completely, and they will absolutely be my first choice whenever Bailey needs boarding in the future. In fact, after hearing about my experience, I've already had a friend ask for their information. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I highly recommend Marquita and Maya. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my girl, Bailey Rae! ❤️🐾

So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
