Thank you so so much for the care and everything you did to make our first time boarding our pet the best experience possible !”
“Azure did a great job of pet sitting my fur baby, Karley. Lots of photos and check ins and Azure was super friendly and responsive. Would definitely use her again! ??❤️”
“Anne is awesome. My anxious, scared of everything pup settled right in with her and the other dogs. Frequent text messages and pics to let us know how he was doing. Milo was very spoiled; getting chicken strips daily and lots of play time. Will definitely use Anne again when we need to travel.”
“Boarded my dog with Tiffney for the holiday weekend. He had a great time with her. Tiffney is very responsible and kept me up to date with everything what was going on. She sent me pics couple of times a day, and has done some fun activities with mah boi. I will definitely going to reach out to her again and recommend her services.”
“I have never left my dogs before and was very nervous about it. But Stephanie was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updated me and I never felt more comfortable while on vacation. She’s truly a gem and animal lover. I would 100% recommend.”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we left our dog (CC) overnight since we got her in December, so I was a little anxious about it. Jennifer was so kind and I knew instantly that CC was in excellent hands. I was so happy to receive updates and photos throughout the few days and I cannot recommend Jennifer enough!”
“Salehin accepted my request last minute and really helped me with my dog! He sent me constant pictures and gave me updates on her. She was happy when she left :)”
“Agnatha was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly and had a wonderful time with her. She sent me many pictures to show how they were doing and was communicative about what they were doing and how they were eating and such. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you, Agnatha!!”
“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”
“My two little ones were right at home with Heather. She has a welcoming environment and plenty of space for pups to run and play around in. I would highly recommend Heather and will definitely be using again!”
“Brian was very quick to respond to our request to watch our dog Pepper. He graciously helped us out when we had to find a replacement dog sitter on short notice.😊 His dog and ours got along well together and he kept Pepper exercised and comfortable during the stay. We are very pleased to highly recommend Brian for any needs you may have! Thanks so very much Brian.😉”
“Erin was very attentive, loving and compassionate with our Corgi, Bilbo, while he was in her care/house for several hours, while we attended a birthday party. She even sent us a picture of our happy boy, while boarding at her place. Highly recommended 👍😊”
“Kristen and her home are inviting and wonderful! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her, and can tell she took expert care of her and gave her lots of love. If you’re looking for peace of mind with where your pet stays, we highly recommend Kristen!”
“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”
“Melissa was absolutely fantastic! Kind, understanding, and clearly very experienced with dogs. If I had to leave my lil buddy with anyone again, it would definitely be her.”
“April and the kids did great with Gus. We like her location to be able to walk him in the Pufferbelly. Gus stayed for the weekend and came back tired. She provided pictures and assurance. We will use her again.”
