I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!

Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.

Adriana and her fiance did a fantastic job watching our puppies. We received daily updates and amazing pictures. They stuck to their schedule and treated our puppies if they were their own. They met with us before hand for a meet and greet and put us at ease. We can't thank them enough for all they did. We will definitely be using them again in the future.

Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!

Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets all my life! I have frequently dog sat for friends, and I have owned dogs, cats, fish and my lovely horse Fenway. My home is centered around pet comfort and ease, especially for the puppies who get the zoomies! My schedule is super flexible! I have lots of time to make sure needs are met and your pet is well taken care of. No steps skipped in making sure your pet is happy and healthy. My home, just as your home will be, is kept neat, and is organized in such a way that caters to pet safety and comfort. Mental and physical stimulation is a great way to burn energy, and a tired pup is a calm one. I love playing with your furry friends for as long as needed to make nap time something they look forward to!

Bianca and her family are amazing!!! So great that I almost didn’t want to write this so I could gate-keep them!! I had to leave my guy to go out of state for a wedding and I’m usually a mess about it but I felt completely relaxed and comfortable this time. Bianca communicated well and I could tell how much they were loving on him. It allowed me to fully enjoy my trip which was priceless. He will be back, he was so comfortable with them. Such a great experience!

Angela is wonderful! She treats any dog in her care with love, gives attention, and supplies the dog owner with updates + photos. Our dogs almost don't want to leave because they are sooo happy. I highly highly recommend Angela for day care and boarding. It is such a relief to know that my dogs are loved and cared for while I'm out of town. I think she under charges, so I always give a nice tip:)

Tammy won my heart the moment I saw her photos with her Boxer, Max. We struggled this year to find the right “Vacation Mama” for our Boxer, Vito, over Christmas and New Year’s — and Tammy (plus Max!) turned out to be the perfect match!!! We had to travel overseas, and she kept us updated the whole time with photos and sweet messages. Vito got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and all the love he’s used to at home. When we picked him up, he looked happy and well cared for! We’re incredibly grateful for Tammy and Max. They made our holiday travel worry‑free, and Vito can’t wait to visit again.

Dustin was great! He took great care of our fur baby, provided updates and sent pictures! We get worried that Annie will get anxious whenever we drop her with a sitter because she was abandoned before; so we try to limit the amount of time we are away from her as much as possible… but she seemed to fit right in with Dustin and his dogs and warmed up to him immediately upon meeting him. Our experience overall was outstanding.

I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! From the moment I left my dog, she treated her like family. My dog is like one of my kids, so I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. The daily photos showed my baby looking relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Her dogs were friendly and immediately got along with mine, creating a calm and happy environment. This was especially helpful for my dog, who is an only dog at home. The entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely reliable. Her communication was clear, and it’s evident that she has a real gift for understanding animals and making them feel safe. I would book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to stay in a home that truly pays attention and cares.
