“Heather was incredible!! Stanley stayed in her home for 23 days and he had the best time! We got frequent photo updates of him getting treated with so much love and care, it gave us great peace of mind while we travelled. I can't recommend boarding with Heather enough!”
“Wow, Genna and her family provided a first-class experience for Max and ourselves. Her communication and interaction with Max was incredible and provided us with a great deal of peace of mind. Would highly recommendation Genna. Thank you, Matt”
“I highly recommend this couple. Emilie and Michael cared for our puppy while we were away and they did an amazing job. Good natured couple. Also their dog Lila is a gentle giant. She got along very well with our puppy. We will definitely use their services again. Five Stars.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Darcie was fantastic! 100% would recommend. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior to the stay and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. She took excellent care of our pup. Darcie also communicated daily and can tell she has a love for dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. If you are thinking of booking with Darcie - don’t hesitate!”
“Sam's stay at Erica's was just like being at home! The pictures Erica sent of Sam taking a nap on her couch, looking out the window, or laying out in the sunshine in her yard made me feel Sam was very comfortable and being well cared for!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“My little Wrigley can be a handful and doesn’t like to be away from her mom. But Carol was amazing! Appreciated all the pictures and communication that was sent to us. Made us feel at ease.”
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”
“Taylor was so great! She was super communicative and accommodating. My dog sometimes struggles with separation anxiety, but she was just living her best life in Taylor’s. I would book again, and I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends.”
“Emily and her family did an outstanding job of caring for Rizzo. He was having such a fun time, he didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be using Emily to care for Rizzo in the future .”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
“Hi, I’m Luna 🐾—10/10 stay! I played with my BFF Stella, bravely antagonized Thor, and successfully liberated one sock, one shoe, and one of Thor’s toys (a perfect haul). I had so much fun I almost forgot to go home!”
“Sherry was great watching Thad, has a very nice welcoming pup herself so glad for my dog to have another one to run around with. Great property with plenty of space, can tell she takes them for long fun walks.”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“Ashley and her husband were amazing. We drove to her home beforehand and she gave us a tour of her home. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pup through his stay and I could tell he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be hiring Ashley for all our pupsitting needs. Highly recommend her!”
“Armani is an amazing pet sitter. She looked after pepper for a weekend and it was the most stress free pet sitting experience. She was very good at communicating and sent lots of pictures. She even bought pepper toys and treats. Amazing experience. Definitely gonna rebook!!!”

Taylor was super nice and accommodating! She watched our three crazy dogs and did a great job. She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures of our dogs looking happy and engaged. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to book her services again!
Layla had a great time at Katelyn’s! I can tell she felt welcome and comfortable and loved. They have a beautiful home in a great area with a perfect backyard for dogs. She enjoyed playing with the family dogs so much! Katelyn also sent a baggie of treats with a sweet note home with Layla. Nice touch! I highly recommend this sweet family for your doggie care needs.
