Incredible service and care for our dog. Stephanie is amazing with dogs, and spent her time with Otis training him and having our dogs run around outside to get his energy out. She was so kind and responsive, we’ll continue to use her whenever we can.

I’m glad that Cathy watched my pup. Cathy is definitely someone I will definitely be using again and I think it’s a plus that she has another small pup, so that Sofia can get some socialization. Thanks so much Cathy

Highly recommend Jahre! I have two anxious dogs and Jahre was so kind, understanding, and comforting. They absolutely loved her and so clearly had a great time hanging out with her. It was such a relief to know they were in great hands, being well cared for and loved 🫶🏻

This was our second day, and I was so happy to see how comfortable my dog became. She has separation anxiety, but today she wagged her tail and walked in calmly, which felt like a huge step forward. I really appreciate the patient, reassuring environment—it made a big difference for her sense of safety. Thank you for taking such good care of her.

Cary did a great job looking after Brody! We enjoyed the meet and greet and walk with Frank. Cary listened to me about Brody’s needs and his anxiety. Brody spent all day at Cary’s home and when I collected Brody he was a calm and happy dog. Thanks so much!

Aaron and his family are the absolute best! It's an awesome household with a couple friendly dogs in the mix as well. It was my 1 year old dog's first time staying in doggy daycare and he had an absolute blast. Aaron sent multiple picture updates of the fun and took amazing care of my four legged friend. I highly recommend Aaron and his wonderful family when you need your dog to be in good hands while you're away. He'll be my first option the next time my Boston Terrier needs a babysitter. Thanks so much and the great experience is very much appreciated.

About: Animal lover here. I’ve had pets all my life and have taken care of pets for the day, and for people on extended vacation. Animals are not left at my home alone. I can take trips to the beach or park as long as the owners are comfortable with that. Pets sleep inside the home with me. I can pick up and/or drop off for a small extra fee. I’m currently a stay at home mom with two teen boys. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need while you are away. Focus will be on keeping your pets happy. I will be playing with your pets inside and outside to keep them happy and busy while you are away. I will modify to any needs your dog may have. Again, I never leave dogs I am watching home alone.

Gary was so great with our 5 month old puppy. Kind and patient and also knowledgeable about training. He helped her learn some new skills and his pups tuckered her out! He is also helping us with leash skills with our puppy and older dog. I highly recommend him!
