Heather was great--responsive, communicative, kind, loving to Sophie. My pup had a great time and seemed to be completely at ease when I picked her up.

Joseph was very flexible with drop off time related to the snow storm coming in. Shadow seemed to have had a great time. Great first time experience!

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy dog sitter who understands that your pet is more than just an animal—they’re family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. Even being a busy working mom of 3, my husband and I both work from home and have open availability to take in and love on additional fur babies! I provide: • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment, my husband and I both work from home and can provide the flexibility needed to watch your loved pet. • Plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. We have 3 children, 16, 11 and 5 as well as our 2 miniature long haired dachshunds. Willing to take them on walks or snuggle on the couch. • Consistent updates, photos, and communication so you have peace of mind • Flexible care based on your dog’s needs, habits, and preferences

Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually. They treated our Roxy like she was their own and kept in great communication and lots of updates with photos! It was great knowing Roxy was in good hands while we were gone and having a great time. I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful family who took great care of our dog! We would definitely use them again. They took time beforehand to make sure they knew what he would need and sent a photo and update each day. The boys were so excited to help take care of him. We could tell that our dog had been very happy and comfortable in their home when we picked him up.

Nancy was amazing and so accommodating. Our 1 year old Golden had zero socialization with other pups and Nancy did a great job of taking care of our girl. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the week. We will for sure be using her services again.

Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.
