8. Emma B.
“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”
9. Eugene & Gale L.
“Eugene and Gale watched our sweet Sophie for a week while we were out town. They sent us pictures and videos of her throughout the week to help ease our anxiety of leaving her. She’s older now and can’t travel with us any longer. We loved the idea of boarding Sophie in a home and we found the perfect fit for our family. Eugene and Gale took care of Sophie like she was their own. She even went on car rides and enjoyed visiting family. We couldn’t have been happier with the care and love she received. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you both again for taking care of our beloved Sophie!”
10. Charles & Christina O.
“Rocky & Tyson had a blast staying with Charles! I think their vacation with his dogs was better than mine. Charles kept me updated on the puppy play vacation throughout their stay with pictures too. I’m sure they can’t wait to visit again!”
11. Ava S.
“My family and I highly recommend Ava! Nala received more care and attention than she needed, and she loves Ava!❤️ Ava also provides a grooming service so you can pick up a fluffy pet home. 🥰Something I like about her grooming is Ava rounded Napa’s nails to ensure her paws are not sharp after nail cutting. We will send Nala back to Ava.”

15. Katie K.
“I have an old man that needed a mini vacation from his puppy sister and Katie was the best place for him. He was showered with love and got the quality human time he needed while his humans were on vacation. I can’t thank Katie enough for the wonder care and love she gave Rokko while I was away. I highly recommend Katie for future clients and my future pupcation needs!”
16. Alexandra D.
“Hello, I have known Alexandra for 7 years. She's extremely compassionate and caring towards all flora and fauna. Alexandra has been constantly moving since she finished graduate school, so she has never quite had the means, permission, or the space to fairly raise a puppy of her own. Though this is true, this is probably the first thing she will do when this becomes a possibility. She is constantly volunteering herself to care for her friend's and family's dogs, and has handled many breeds both big and small. Alexandra's love for dogs is real, I couldn't think of anyone better for the job!”
17. Nikki G.
“Timber clearly had a great time with Nikki!. Nikki was very communicative and understood when last minute changes happened, i got lots of photos of Timber playing with other dogs and kids. I would definitely recommend Nikki and will be using her in the future”
18. Jessica S.
About: I provide one-on-one, personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with senior pets, dogs with anxiety, and those with special medical or dietary needs. I send daily updates with pictures, so you’re always in the loop about how your pet is doing. I offer flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings, and I’m always reliable—your pet’s care comes first. For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained. I am self employed and manage my day to day schedule with lots of flexibility. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to accommodate you and your pet's needs! When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.
19. Dakota M.
“Dakota is great! She stops by to let my dog out when I’m away for work and have a long day. Zeppelin is a reactive dog, who must be on a leash and loves walking the trails of our property. Dakota is very kind and gentle with her. Dakota is also very flexible on my needs, which is wonderful. Highly recommend to others!”
20. Tiffany D.
“Tiffany (and Enzo) were great. She kept us regularly updated and she worked with some of my dog’s difficult behavior. She also included some nice long walks when my dog was ready for them.”
