“Chelsea was professional and very polite. She updated me the entire time with cute pictures of my puppy! I feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I am on vacation. Highly recommend!!”


“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”

The dogs were so excited to be able to play with your kids all weekend! They slept for 2 days after coming home lol”

“Kristin, is incredible!! She made our Golden Retriever who has a lot of anxiety very comfortable and right at home the entire time. She provided excellent communication on a daily basis and was incredibly accommodating, professional and caring. If I could give 6 stars I would!! Thank you Kristin!!!”


“Casey stepped into her caregiver role like a total professional. I had a situation where I needed to travel due to a family crisis and could not immediately secure our usual sitter. We were able to meet her, check out her secure premises, and make arrangements and feel completely comfortable about leaving our dog in her hands. She is highly communicative and listens extremely well to insight on our dog’s personality. I will absolutely use Casey again. Our dog had a ball at her house! Came home relaxed and happy.”

“Fantastic First-Time Fur Baby Sitting! Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Our first experience with Diane & Duncan couldn't have been better! From the moment we met, it was clear they love dogs and knew how to handle them with care. They kept me updated, and Rockie was happy and content when I returned. Highly recommended!”


“Michele and her husband are fantastic! This was our first time boarding our pup and they definitely put us at ease. Michele communicated well about how things were going and definitely took good care of our pup. We will definitely contact Michele again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years like friends, family, neighbors or even anyone in need of a sitter. I’ve also owned a dog of my own. By owning 2 cats of my own I’m always playing with them, feeding them, and taking care of their litter box. I also do a good job of making them feel comfortable and loved. For cats I make sure they’re well fed, played with, and their litter box gets taken care of. For dogs I make sure they’re fed well, played with, and taken outside a good amount of times.

“Kim took such good care of my girls! They had so much fun with their two dogs! It’s nice to have someone who you trust to take care of your fur babies when your away!”


“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”


“Emily is awesome she has watch my dog over the past two months and has done an amazing job keeping him safe clean. I recommend her to everyone if you need someone to watch your dog.”


“Angelique is amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog Odin for a 4 night stay at the last minute. Odin was happy and so am I. I highly recommend her.”


“Cooper loved his stay with the family. He was excited to see us when we picked him up. He was relaxed and calm when we got home. Kim and family were great with Cooper and they took care of him. They Sen pictures and kept us informed. We will definitely be back. Thank you!”


“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”
