“Saylor stayed with Kristen for a week and seemed to be very happy there playing with her dogs. She sent us some videos of them playing, which confirmed how happy he was. To see the videos made us happy too!! Saylor is a white goldendoodle and when we picked him up, he was nice and clean! Thank you so much Kristen!”
“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“Another FANTASTIC experience with Jeff and Barbara. Really enjoyed the pictures they sent me from Copper because I miss him so much while we are gone. They are very accommodating on start and pick up times and Copper loves getting to play with Ruby and Phineas, this visit he even made a new friend Bella. So glad we found Jeff! Happy repeat customers!”

She gave us regular updates on how our little one settled into her new environment and sent pictures so we would see realtime how Canela made other furry friends. I highly recommend Tavonne’s services to put you at ease during your next out of town trip!”

“Timerra did an amazing job when she kept my baby. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away and we found that to be very sweet. My pup was not wanting to eat her dog food and Timerra offered to feed her some fruits so she wasn’t hungry. I will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Cats, dogs, mice, hamsters, snakes, geckos, you name it. I currently have a cat named Ramona and a dog named Sebastian. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures (of your pets) while they’re with me to provide of peace of mind. I always like to get pics while I’m away because I worry so I’m more than happy to send them too! Just let me know if that’s something you’d appreciate. I know I don’t have many reviews yet since I’ve just started taking clients so if it helps to look at our Instagrams while I build rapport feel free! Ramona and Sebastian: @a_cat_and_her_dawg Mine: @brendawg006 I work from home Monday through Friday so I can take dogs on walks during the day unless it’s too hot in which case I’ll do evenings or mornings My dog Sebastian will keep your dog entertained but if he gets annoying I have a spare bedroom that your dog can chill in. I also have a balcony that’s kind of fun for the animals to hang out on.
“Rebekah and her husband took very good care of my Reyna. They have a nice size yard for her to run around. I also like that they had dogs to keep her company. I appreciated the daily updates with pics. They are very patient and easy going”
“Kim is unbelievable! She kept my 3 pups busy, happy and comfortable. They came home sooo tired! We’ve had Kim take care of our furry family for a few years now and she always delivers. She always takes pictures and sends them to us to keep us connected with our girls. She’s awesome!”
“My puppy had so much fun with Sarah! She took him out on walks and trips to the beach, and she made sure he was well taken care of! she sent lots of pictures and it looked like he was having a blast! Thanks to Sarah”
“Casey was excellent! He agreed to a meet and greet prior to boarding and was super flexible. He sent lots of pics of our pup having fun in the backyard. His Boxer also got along great with our very energetic goldendoodle. I highly recommend!”
“Cynthia was amazing with my service dog Bella. She took special care of her, gave her meds to her as instructed and provided updates that included both photos and video. I will be using Cynthia in the future for all of Bella’s care. I highly recommend!”
“OMG! We LOVE Erica! She was so amazing with all the updates over the last few days for both of our babies. We couldn't recommend her enough for anyone to use for their baby's care! Will absolutely be booking again! <3”
“My dog was loved and cared for by Lynn as if she was still with me! Lynn sent so many pictures and messages which assured me that she was doing well without me. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone who loves their pet!”
“Robin is the absolute sweetest and gave me all the confidence that my baby would be more than okay while I was gone. Super responsive, kind and caring, as well as great with the instructions and care aspects; she genuinely loves these animals and it shows. I loved the update pics and videos, it surprised me how fast I saw ny kitty open up to Robin and she did so well with respecting my kitty’s space/ anxiety but also trying to invite her out of her little bedroom to explore and have fun. I’d love to have her watch my cat again, in the future (and hopefully will); any time I need someone, I know I have someone trustworthy and genuine to care for her.💖”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years—everything from playful puppies to senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, giving meds, and handling pets with different temperaments. I’m available most weekdays in the mornings and evenings, and I have flexible hours on weekends. Let me know what works best for you and we can work something out! I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving medication. I always give plenty of attention, keep them active, and make sure they’re happy while you’re away.
“Becca was very calm and caring with our energetic Bichon and senior Lab, and we appreciate that they were so well taken care of. She was super flexible when we ran behind schedule coming home, and even gave Mabel a bath cause of her penchant for the outdoors, which was above and beyond. Thank you!”
