Ariana is wonderful! She took care of my pup Luna for a long weekend and it felt so good to know Luna was in good care! She is a great communicator and sent lots of pics and updates. Arianas home is well set up with a large gated outdoor space. Luna loved her right away upon meeting her, which was great to see. I definitely hope to have Ariana sit Luna again in the future and highly recommend her to others looking for loving, responsible care for their pets.

Desiree has been great. She invited us over to her home so we could get a feel for her and make sure our little man could meet her dog ahead of time as well. She was able to help us out on somewhat short notice and we are definitely looking forward to booking her for our vacations in the future!

Nancy is an incredibly committed and caring pet sitter. I left my young and highly needy (separation anxiety) doggie with her over the holiday, and returned to find my pup happy and calm. I highly recommend Nancy!!!

Bethiah was amazing! She clearly genuinely bonded with my little guy, Frankie, sending pictures of him playing, on the beach, and snuggled up. She was a great communicator, easygoing, and very warm. I wish we lived closer. So grateful for her care for our boy.

I have known Tracy my entire life. She is a life long pet owner, lover and devoted pet parent. Her love of animals was a primary driver for her becoming a vegetarian at an early age. Her gentle and loving nature towards her own animals easily translates to any that she comes across. Your pets will be in good hands with Tracy.

Helen is a wonderful dog sitter. After our meet and greet a few days earlier, Olive ran right into Helen's house. We received lovely photos of Olive's time there and it was clear she was well cared for. We thank Helen for her kind attention to our senior dog and recommend her highly. Thanks Helen!

Really happy with the daycare & overnight care my older, 15 lb dog received. Denise is great, my dog looked happy hanging out with her, plus she has veterinary experience, and we also like Jerry, Denise's husband. I received pics/video throughout the stay. I like that they limit the # of dogs in their care because my dog gets stressed when there are too many dogs. And they have a small dog named Quarky, so there's a canine buddy. At Quarky's my dog has the choice of indoor/ outdoor time but he LOVES being outside this time of year, and Denise provides a tall fenced yard, comfortable furniture, companionship, sun and shade. Who could ask for more?

About: I have taken two of my dogs when they were puppies to beginner, intermediate and advanced training. Friends and family will always call me for a dog sitting/ exercise when they aren’t around. I have experienced chihuahua mix to big huskies. I feel so comfortable and loved by these doggies. I have had many different breeds in my life and can’t wait to see more. I’m working part-time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. I can walk the dogs and do check ins any time as long as I have a bit of notice. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door and a friendly medium size straffordshire terrier that loves bigger dogs. However, if you’d like to have your dogs separate I have plenty of room in the yard and house to accommodate them. I have a large kennel and toys if needed.

Kevin is a wonderful dog sitter! He is communicative and flexible. Olive had a wonderful time and we were confident she was in good hands. She is an older dog with some arthritis issues, which Kevin was fine about managing. We recommend him without reservation, he's the tops.

We cannot recommend Eva enough. We were visiting the area and needed last-minute pet care for our doggy Rocco. Not only did Eva accommodate our request but she was also able to be flexible when we had to drop our dog off earlier than planned. Rocco had a blast. The dog walks, time at the beach, and hanging with Eva's dog Winnie was so much fun for our pooch. We also appreciated the regular updates with photos she sent while Rocco was in her care. Next time we're in town, we will definitely rebook Eva.
