“Tonja was great with my dogs. It was the first time they have stayed with someone who was not family and they seemed to enjoy it. She sent me updates on them daily. I will definately book her again.”
“Mary is awesome! Our dog was accepted and treated as part of her family! My dog would be anxious and glued to me for a week after being boarded. But after staying 3 days with Mary, she is calm and relaxed as if we never left. I could tell she enjoyed her stay by the pics Mary sent me and her demeanor when I picked her up. We will definitely be using Mary every time if she is available!”
“Our two dogs were left with Lisa and Russ for an entire week. They took great care of them and sent us photos too. We will use them again for sure. It’s hard to find great care and if you want a place where your dogs will basically be at a dog park with a lot of room to roam this is the place.”
“Diane was absolutely amazing! She obviously loves animals and understands both pets and pet parents! I feel confident that she took great care of my baby. I would 100% book with her again!”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
“Madison did such a great job with Cooper! His excitement, new environment jitters and eating too fast caused him to vomit the first couple of days. Madison handled it like a pro, she seeked guidance from the vet who confirmed what seemed to be happening. She adjusted his food intake to help him keep food down and made some other changes which fixed the problem! Goose, their dog, was a wonderful big brother to Cooper and they all gave him love like he was their own. Cooper was taken on lovely walks on trails and to the dog park and Goose also shared his antlers with Coop which is now his favorite thing to chew! We were very happy with the care given to our crazy little kid and Madison went over and beyond!”
About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

Chris F.
“Chris is one of the best pet care takers I have had the pleasure of working with. He is one of few people that I can count on, and that I would trust to care for my dogs while I’m away. I trust him not only with the safety of both my dogs, but also in my home. It’s hard to find people you can trust nowadays and Chris is one of few! He leaves the house in great condition and follows directions perfectly. My dogs can be reactive at times and Chris handles them and my directions wonderfully. I feel safe knowing they are with him!”
