“Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”

“Jennifer is the unicorn of dog sitters!! You will not find another like her. Her and her girls took great care of our two pups when they where there and absolutely plan to use her again when we need a sitter.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”

“Heather was an amazing dog sitter and was super flexible. Our dog was so happy to have room to run around and receive some great attention! Heather makes sure to send you photos of your doggo, which is amazing! Will use again!! Highly recommend.”

“All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.”

“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”

“Amy did and an AWESOME job with our boy Bentley. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pics. Bentley is very hyper but it wasn’t a problem for her. We will be using her again.”

“The stay was perfect. The pickup and drop off was amazing no complications. I got plenty of pictures. I know my dog was still getting properly trained how I train her. I had no worries.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11, to include my own, family, friends, and neighbors. I’m experienced with puppies under the age of 1 and the crate training process. I work full time during the week but I’m available for boarding and daycare on the weekends, anytime. Also available for check ins based off comfortable of the owner I have a fenced backyard with lots of toys as well as a fur baby of my own. I have a 90 lbs Labrador that gets along with everyone.
“BOOK JENNIFER NOW! I would like to tell everyone a little, rather a lot about my experience with Jennifer?. In one word; EXCELLENT! Jennifer was amazing, she washed my baby-cleaned her teeth-wiped her paws after going outside and loved on her to make her feel welcomed-sent me pictures of her daily. DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT! She was so amazing my baby isn’t talking to me because she wants to go back?. I genuinely will not use anyone else. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! ❤️”
“Ryan took excellent care of our dog and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She had so much fun playing with his dog during her stay. Ryan was great about communicating and sent photos, which really reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated that he took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand. It gave us confidence that our dogs would get along well and allowed us to see firsthand how kind Ryan is and how much he genuinely loves dogs. He was also great about coordinating drop off and pick up at convenient times. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with him and will be repeat customers!”

“Lexie did such a great job with my fur baby Salem. I was gone for a week. I so worried to leave my pup for so long. Lexie and her husband were so sweet, and welcoming. We were able to me her fur babies they were so kind and got along perfectly with my girl. Lexie sent updates almost daily. Overall I am so happy with Lexie and how she took care of our baby. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”

“OMG! I cannot express how thankful I am Awy & Stephanie. They were able to watch Jrako on a very short notice, made it no hassle at all. They gave Jrako everything he needed with no hesitation at all. Updated me throughout the day, and you can tell Jrako had a good time because he went back to get a hug before leaving. Will definitely be bringing jrako back!”

“Kept me informed daily about how my dog was doing. Loved getting the pics she sent. Was flexible when my flight was cancelled and had no issues with taking care of my dog an additional day.”
“Olivia was great, I left my miniature schnauzer with her for a week. She sent pictures every day of her where she looked like she was having a great time with her two small dogs. I would definitely recommend Olivia to take care of your pets, she did an awesome job.”

“Megan was hands down the perfect person to watch our puppy, Siggy. She sent updates and took the best care of our dog. We were so worried about the socialization aspect, but her dogs welcomed Siggy into the dog clan right away. This was the best thing for her this weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone on or around post.”

I wish I can give Sandra and Mark 20 stars! I’ve left my senior dog Morgan with multiple sitters in different states and Sandra and Mark are by far the best! From the moment Morgan stepped into their yard, I could tell he felt completely at home. They sent me daily updates + videos and pictures of my baby happily enjoying his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being cared for with so much love! From now on, Sandra and Mark will be my go-to sitters, and I’ll definitely be recommending them to all my friends in the area!
