About: I am home most of the day….providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Having lived with several pets over the years any special condition your pet may have (medication, injections or special activity). Will be addressed. I have owned and cared for several 4 legged friends throughout my life each with their own wonderful personality. I will look after your Pet as my own. I have a great walking paths around my home. And a large yard. Your doggie will be part of our family….. I work from home with plenty of time to spend with your pet. My hubby and will enjoy your pets company as much as hopefully they will enjoy ours. Our house is very quiet with few visitors & Easy to fit right in….. visitors. I take only one dog at a time to attend to all their requirements. I love to send photos to keep you updated. Having boarded my own doggie I understand the toll of leaving your loved one behind. Your pet will have and a no worry, safe and fun atmosphere so you can too….
“Awesome awesome doggie care. Our girl loved them from the start and they were very kind with pictures and updates on how she was doing. Will definitely ask them to doggie sit again when we have future need! Thanks you all!”
“We were in a last minute bind for someone to watch our 4-month old goldendoodle, Peyton for a night while we attended a Christmas party and were not going to be home for around 6 hours. Trisha was so helpful in agreeing to watch Peyton for us on only a couple of days notice. Peyton had such a good time playing with Trisha and Dan's dog Stout - she slept in the next morning until 9am (she had been waking us up at 5:15am every morning!). Trisha was so flexible and easy to work with - thanks again! :) ”
“Joanna is warm, caring, and knowledgeable. She agreed to meet before we left our anxious dog with her. We got photos and updates each day and met at mutually agreeable times. Joanna handled a tricky medication situation very well. We will certainly consider rebooking in the future.”
“Seth and his family took amazing care of our Bubba! You can instantly tell Seth has a lot of experience taking care of dogs and will treat them as his own. His communication is excellent, transparent and kind. Thank you, Seth and family! Bubba had a wonderful stay with you all.”
“My dogs appeared to have the best time with Heidi. They both came back happy and tired and, surprisingly, my sweet Lady wasn't big mad about staying with someone. Highly Recommended.”
“Michelle was wonderful and I felt like my dog was on her own little vacation at the beach. Michelle was responsive, flexible, and sent plenty of updates including photos. I would absolutely trust her to care for my dog again in the future. Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Laney was very accommodating of my two Huskies. I've been looking a long time to find not only a sitter, but one that would take good care of my pups and not be worried about their behavior. Although my boys are somewhat trained and are good with other dogs and kids, not everyone is willing to watch two Huskies! She also showed good care and is knowledgeable of training. I will definitely coming back!”
“As always, Sarah did a great job taking care of Pepper while we were out of town. Pepper has started recognizing Sarah's door when we pull up and always seems excited to go inside. Sarah is patient with Pepper's quirks, communicative, and was gracious and flexible when a flight delay made me late for pickup. I highly recommend her!”
About: Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with plenty of love, patience, and care. I’m also great at following specific instructions and can provide regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I am Registered Nurse and it allows me have a very flexible schedule. I have most mornings, and afternoon free to take care of your pet. Your dog will be in good hands—and you’ll get photo updates and walk summaries every time. I’d love to meet your pup and give them the care, exercise, and attention they deserve!
“Amy was great with my two Bernedoodles. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and she made sure to send lots of pics that made me feel better. She was great at communicating and I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
