“Christopher (and his son) were the best sitters we’ve ever has. Our dog gets anxious easily and this is the first home we feel at ease knowing she is 100% happy, safe, and cared for. He sends updates and pictures and is very understanding and flexible with scheduling. HIGHLY recommend.”

“Britny was amazing. I felt very comfortable when I met her and the dogs slept for 2 days straight when they got home so I know they had a great time. She took care of our elderly dogs and did some extras for them that I requested. They came home with a fresh bath smell as well. Thank you so much! We will use you again.”
“Gabriel is an outstanding host. He was very attentive, from the beginning, and took very good care of Luna throughout her stay with him. I was extremely satisfied with his service.”

“Monica was very kind to take my last minute booking before meeting with us. She sent us reassuring messages and pics while we were gone. Her little dog Kimmie is very sweet too. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her and was sure she got lots of love and attention.”

“Riley (the dog) seemed to be happy in pictures that Bethany took. Bethany was easy to deal with and had good communication. Very satisfied with the overall experience. I would use Bethany again.”

“Kari and Clint were amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs are both anxious and require a lot of love, and Kari and Clint were both so incredibly accommodating, with a meet and greet and daily updates ?”


“I have nothing but great reviews for Brook. She is kind and communicated with me over the weekend while keeping my little guy. I felt good knowing that I left him in good hands!!”


“Samantha is the best! This is the 4th time she has watched our puppy. Teddy had a bit of an upset tummy when we dropped him off. She updated us often with how he was doing throughout his stay. We knew he was in good hands. He is all better now. Samantha was also flexible with our pickup time when we arrived home a little later than planned. I highly recommend Samantha.”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful! My doggos ended up getting a little sick and she kept me informed all along the way. She always sent photos, and treated them like a member of her family and her own children. Will certainly use her again as I feel I 100% found a long term dog sitter when I need it!”

“Shelby (my dogs name) absolutely loves Shelby and her family!! Very professional, quick to respond and sent me updates during my dogs stay. Would highly recommend her and we love her so much my dog is a regular weekly!!”

“Yelena immediately started sending pictures and updates on my pooches and continuously sent them throughout their stay. My one dog was having allergy issues affecting his paws and she was able to wipe them down and correct some marking behaviors he was displaying. They seem to get a lot of time outdoors and were able to roam about inside and could choose to go into crates. When my travel plans were delayed, she was quite accommodating and I really appreciate that.”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.
“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”


“Molly had a great visit with Karen! She came home happy and exhausted, which is always a good thing! Enjoyed receiving pictures and videos! I love that she only boards small dogs! Will definitely book with Karen again!”

“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”

“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”

“Amy was excellent. She treats dogs as if they were her own. Very safe and warm environment, and she works from home so your dog is always cared for. We already rebooked with Amy.”

“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
