“I truly cannot say enough good things about Gillian! My dog, Benson, has serious separation anxiety along with specific dietary and medical needs, and it has been such a relief to finally find someone I completely trust to care for him. I never thought I’d see the day where he’d happily run into a sitter’s home—until we found her! From day one, Gillian has gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable, safe, and genuinely happy. She understands all of Benson’s quirks and needs, and treats him with the same patience and love that I do. It’s so clear how much she cares about every dog she looks after and truly treats them as her own. She’s also great about sending daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which give me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I always know he’s in the very best hands with her!”
“I dropped Buddy off the morning of 4/9 and picked him up on the 14th. Devin sent a text with pictures to show that Buddy had setteled in and playing with the other dogs. When we got home he slept the day away so I can only assume he had a good time. I would recommend Devin in a heart beat. Next time we need somebody Devin will definitely be the one I call”
“My dogs came back happy, healthy and tired which is all I can ask for regarding their stay. I have a 13 year old dog that can end up overdoing it but no limping at all. Jen was responsive and I felt comfortable leaving Moana and Whiskey in her care while I was in Florida. I wish I had found her sooner. Definitely will be coming back.”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Chrissy has done an amazing job watching my dog Riley for a couple of days. Riley and I liked her from the first time we met. He had a lot of fun being with her. I really liked that she provided updates and pictures each day. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Chrissy! 😊”
“Friendly with a fenced in backyard. Easy to communicate with regarding the sit and flexible on drop off and pickup times. Received pics and an update on his day. Happy with the care Anastasia provided for our pup.”
“We have a very anxious 12 year old black lab dog and going away is always a problem. We had a very pleasant experience with Alexandria. Her patience and personal attention was just what our dog needed. We recently went away for a week and Grace had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Alexandria's services.”
“Kathy looked after our 1yr old Cavalier for 2 nights while we were out of town. Kathy is a knowledgeable and caring dog lover and we have already booked another stay with her.”
“I absolutely love Inge!! She treated my boy like he was her own! Many pics and texts! Will not be using anybody else in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of my Henry boy!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“We just had our first booking with Thomas and couldn’t be more grateful for his excellent care of our dog Harley.He sent messages and photos daily reassuring us that she was doing well. She had plenty of playtime, walks and attention which she loves. Thomas will definitely be our go to for Harley!”
“Peg was very responsive, friendly and helpful. She is organized and new the right questions to ask to ensure a successful stay for our pet . From the way copper was bouncing around when we picked him up really enjoyed his stay. I think he loved the freedom of the fenced yard and running free with the other dogs. For Copper, the freedom to run un-tethered is such a treat after spending most of his time on a chain and runner.”
“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”
About: I grew up on a ranch in Vail Arizona and I have extensive experience in caring for animals of all breeds and species! I have two cats and two rescue dogs (chihuahua and border collie) along with one snake and a bearded dragon. I understand that our pets are our family—often feeling like our own children—and I carry this sentiment with me when I care for other’s pets as well. I’m a part-time substitute teacher (I used to teach English in New Orleans before taking a break!) and I have a flexible schedule with summers and holidays off. I have a fenced yard and I welcome pets who get along with cats into my home. My two dogs can stay with my sister (who is a vet tech and only a call away) if there’s ever an issue with dogs who may not like to share space with other dogs. When caring for a pet in your home I appreciate detailed information and I will never hesitate to reach out if I am curious or confused. If ever an emergency occurs and I cannot get ahold of you my judgment as both a mother, an educator and a pet owner will dictate my actions.
“I just moved to the area and I was looking for a new dog sitter when I found Tamara! She was very friendly and clearly loved animals, so my dog Willow stayed overnight with her on a trial run. Tamara sent me pictures of Willow enjoying Tamara's home. Tamara was very welcoming, pleasant, and polite. She made sure Willow was comfortable when she realized Willow has trouble climbing stairs. She followed the instructions I gave her for Willows care, and was again welcoming and friendly when I picked Willow up the next day. I'm glad we found Tamara and will surely use her again.”
“We were blessed to have Addy watch our dog Sage while we were gone. She took wonderful care of Sage and communicated often which brought great comfort to us. I highly recommended her to anyone looking for help with a pet. She is such a genuine and kind person too. Thankful for this experience!”
“Eric was so good with our little Payton. It was his first time away from home since he was rescued, and we were not sure how he would react. I did not worry though because he seemed to like Eric's pets, and he loves the companionship. He had some specific needs that Eric understood and took care of. Payton came back to us a happy boy 😊”
