Great experience with her taking care of Duncan for us. Duncan loved staying with her, and we appreciated the daily updates and pictures throughout his stay. Really set our minds at ease while we were on our trip, knowing that Duncan was happy and well cared for on his own mini vacation while we were out of town!

We trusted our 12 week old puppy with Alice. I was worried about him not being 100% potty trained and not sleeping through the night. Alice assured me that he would be taken out every 2 hours. She sent tons of pictures and videos of our Winston playing with her sons. I received daily updates. We will always ask Alice to watch our dogs! She’s the best!

Danielle and Jake took great care of my very senior little dog. Great communication, thoughtful accommodations for her needs, sweet situation for a dog (yard, work from home), and they made me feel completely at ease leaving her in their care. Highly recommend.

They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!

Can’t say enough positive things about Lacey. She is a great communicator, always providing updates and pics, is a great caregiver and a true lover of dogs. My boy had a great time staying with her, made pots of new friends and was well taken care of and entertained during his stay. Would highly recommend to others and I will use her again in the future. Thanks Lacey!

Sarah is awesome! I contacted her when our normal sitter canceled just before we were about to drop our dog off and we were in a panic to find a sitter for the weekend, as we were on our way out of town. Sarah responded immediately and was so helpful in coordinating the drop off to make it as easy as possible. She is so sweet and our dog, Charlie, seemed to do very well with her. Thank you, Sarah, for stepping in a saving the day! We will definitely be using Sarah again!!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets. I provide holistic care, focusing on nutrition, behavior, training, and emotional well-being. I’ve trained both puppies and adult dogs, including helping an older dog adjust from suburban to city life. I love animals deeply and offer a calm, devoted, and safe environment on my 10-acre property where pets can rest, play, and feel truly nurtured. I’m home full-time and work from home, so I can provide consistent, attentive care. My life is quiet and thoughtful, and as a writer and creative, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate focused time to pets throughout the day. Walks, play, feeding, and companionship are all easily accommodated, and I can adjust to each pet’s unique needs and routines. Pets in my care enjoy a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. My property is partially fenced, and I closely supervise all outdoor time. No animals roam freely unless fully trained and safe off-leash. I provide fresh water, nutritious snacks (if you like), exercise, and gentle attention tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and nurtured throughout their stay.

Marlee has an incredible time while Ande watched her! She kept me updated with pictures of Marlee often and took her hiking! When I got home from getting Marlee she was exhausted from all the plays and fun she had during her stay! I will for sure be using Ande again next time I need a sitter! Marlee was well taken care of and she even sent home some treats. You can trust her with your pup :)
