“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”

“Kaitland is the best! She has watched our pup a few times now and she has been amazing. I never worry when we drop our little guy off at her place. Thanks, Kaitland!”

“Our doggy Faye had a fantastic time with Bryce. He texted daily updates with photos and our baby looked so happy in all of them! We definitely trust Bryce to watch Faye again and feel lucky to have found someone like him!”

“I must say this was the first time using a boarding service that was not the ordinary pet boarding organization. So I was a little hesitant using a service through an app no less. I found Shannon and she turned out to be an absolute gem. She's very accommodating, communicates, send pics, and you can see the passion she has for taking care of your pet. Overall, just puts you at ease during the process which is important to me since I travel. Needless to say, would probably not be going back to the old boarding services.”

“Edward took excellent care of our dog, providing us with near daily updates, including pictures and videos. He was flexible with our uncertain travel circumstances and early pick ups/drop offs. I couldn't ask for anything more!”


“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”

“We can't thank Kelly and Brian enough for the great care they give Lakota when she stays with them. She's always well cared for and makes herself right at home. We always miss our baby when we travel, the photos we receive while we're gone help bridge missing her. Lakota's next stay with Kelly and Brian is already booked.”

“Megan Took such great care of my girls ! They seemed very happy to be there and got to make new friends ❤️ She was very communicative and sent photos of their stay. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you 😊”


“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

We love pets of all shapes and sizes and we’ve got you covered on short notice too! ❤️ I work nights at an ER and just want to have something fun to do in my off time! I have 3 beautiful daughters and my oldest daughter is such a great help and loves to play fetch with our dog and yours!❤️ We have a large metal fence all the way around the backyard. There are locks on either side and we do have cameras for extra security. Your furbaby is our furbaby while you’re away❤️
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”

“Hannah and her husband were super responsive, flexible, and we could tell our dog really enjoyed her nearly week-long stay. Our dog is afraid of fireworks and storms and they were able to help her be very comfortable despite it being a stormy 4th of July weekend! We returned to a very happy and relaxed dog. They sent photos and even a video during her stay, and we felt totally at ease that she was 100% well taken care of and given lots of love.”

“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”

“Andrea was incredible! She sent plenty of videos and pictures throughout the dogs stay. When I picked up the pups, they were nothing but smiles. They were so exhausted from all the playing they did that all they did was sleep on the way home. I would highly recommend Andrea!!!”

“Christian was amazing! From all the picture and video updates, to her updating me on how my baby Kayo was doing, how good he was, and she even took him out to a park for walks! Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”


About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“I would definitely recommend Patti to any pet parent that wants their fur baby taken care of like they were family. Patti had great follow up & made sure I had plenty of photos and videos of my boy Flex. She made sure to communicate anything he needed promptly. Top of my list if/when I need someone to watch him in the future.”


“McKensie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took incredible care of my cats, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She is dependable, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but McKensie has earned that trust. My pets were happy, well cared for, and loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet children as if they were her own, look no further. McKensie is #1 in my book, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my furry family!”

“Yekaterina was amazing! She was so warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt that my Coco was in good hands. She was attentive to Coco’s needs while I was away, which gave me complete peace of mind. Coco absolutely loves her, and we’ll definitely be seeing her again soon!”

Thank you Meaghan! Missy🐕 had a great time with you and Bella and new friends. From the meet and greet we knew she’ll have all your love. How we wish we’ve known you earlier. We appreciate the updates and photos. We had a worry free vacay. We’ll definitely book again our Missy with Meaghan when we go to our upcoming 2wk vacay. I highly recommend her^-^

Our family had to take an unexpected trip and Ms. Feyi O. was available and willing to help. She sent pictures and gave a detailed summary of how our puppy was doing. She has a very nice space specifically for our puppy. Without hesitation she offered to cater to our precious puppy’s needs. Definitely booking again and I know that our baby will be taken care of without any worries.

I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. My Nico (a miniature long haired dachshund) was in great hands! We got photo updates and quick responses anytime we checked in. He was always happy and taken care of! We could tell from the photos that he was having a great time. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks for loving our sweet pup!
