“Our two dogs were here for the first time and seemed to adjust. Renee is flexible with my schedule changes. I was not worried about leaving our dogs with her and her family”
“I really appreciate how Maribel took care of my dog Bruno. The updates and pictures made it clear he was comfortable and having a great time. It means so much to know he was in safe, loving hands. Highly recommend!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my 15 yo lil dog with someone but he required more care and hates being in a kennel. I tried Julie and she was very accommodating for Harley’s needs and temperament. She sent updates and answered questions while he was in her care. She did an great job and we are very happy we found her!”
“Karla was amazing! Made my girl feel comfortable, sent pics and videos the whole time and she sent her back nice and clean! 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
“Whitney was beyond exceptional with our baby Milo. He is a puppy so he needed a bit more care & attention, which she gave him. She also provided lots of updates including pictures & videos. Thank you so much Whitney. We will definitely bring Milo back to you when needed! ☺️”
“She was awsome. Very freindly. Our dog Bird was very comfortable as soon as we got there. Even git a pix within 30 min of Bird taking a nap. This was our dogs first day care and we had no worries. Thank you so much Shanna.”
“Anna was awesome.! When it was time to go home Napoleon didn’t want to go home and wanted to follow Anna back into her home. I’m sure Anna treated Napoleon as her own during his stay. Anna; texted me pictures and updates throughout his stay. Will definitely be coming back.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child. A dog's love and dedication for its human is so special and I believe they deserve the same. I am retired, so I have the freedom to make my routine work around the needs of the pet I have agreed to care for. I will be happy to abide by the pet rules that are in place at the home of my client. I will also, always treat the pet with love and respect and will give them my full attention.
“Akie was a five star dog sitter! She kept me updated all along the way and I could tell my pup was having a BLAST! She was so kind and considerate to my pups needs and I’m glad I found her for future as well. Thank you Akie🙏”
“Stephanie and her family greeted me and my pups with a warm and authentic welcome. They live in a terrific neighborhood on a cul de sac with no through traffic. There home and backyard was spacious enough for our energetic GSP’s and they had fun playing with their family dogs. We were updated with great photos of our dogs playing and resting by Stephanie. You can’t ask for a better set up with a fenced in pool for security.”
“Dedicated, loving, professional Barbara took great care of our little dog. She sent us pictures and videos everyday and summarized his daily activities. She cares, she’s responsible, and a true professional. We trust her and thank her for everything.”
About: Have watched dogs my whole life have been a reliable dog sitter for friends and family I have watched many types of dogs and many sizes I mainly sit at home with nothing to do so I can always watch a dog as long as I have no school or anything to do My Home is a very spacious place for pets to roam and play I will make sure they get taken outside every 2-3 hours and have bowls of water ready for them
“Maria was great with booking on short notice. Provided great updates on eating and sleeping schedule which i really appreciated. Great with later than planned pickup. Thank you, Maria hope to book again soon!👍🏼😊”
“Such a wonderful experience, Jill and Liz go above and beyond, they treated our pup like their own and took great care of him, sent us pictures and updates throughout his vist. We would absolutely recommend.”
“O recently moved to the area and Aliky has been keeping my furry kid for daycare and overnight stays. She has been an excellent care provider for my dog. My dog has medical conditions and Aliky has been able to provide the sensitive care she needs. I appreciate her attentiveness to detail and the warm environment she provides for my dog. I highly recommend Aliky for your pet care needs.”
“Dominie was excellent. Cooper is the 6th dog we have owed and have never boarded/or had anyone watch any of them except family/friend. He is an 8 month old rescue and I was a little nervous leaving him. He had an awesome vacation. He went for a walk 2x a day. Went to Home Depot. Played with neighbors dogs. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. I would definitely recommend Dominie. He was well taken care of.”
“Priscilla watched our very active German Shepherd puppy and did an excellent job. Communication was great. She responded quickly to any messages sent. We would definitely use her again!”
“Wynona (rene') was very sweet with our pups and gave them lots of attention. However, I am taking off one star for misrepresentation of profile information. She lives in an apartment, not a house and the fenced in yard is about a 5x8 area for the dogs to walk outside. Also, they do smoke in the home. I would recommend her for people with small dogs and that dont mind indoor smoking.”
“Haley took great care of my pups! Loved getting the updates and pictures. They hadn’t been there in nearly a year and they immediately remembered and were SUPER excited the moment we got to Haley’s driveway.”
