“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Truly treated my dog like her own. Cooked for him. Cleaned his eye goo. She was super patient too, because he is reactive. She kept me consistently updated with pix and texts. She is amazing!”
“Andrew was absolutely perfect. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their care and behaviour. He checked in regularly and made us feel completely at ease with his care for our dog Hank. He truly cared for Hank as if he were a part of his family and we are so grateful that we got connected with him. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone for the care of their animals.”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“Ceecee was AMAZING. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she responded asap and was able to accommodate me. She was so great with koda and so sweet. Koda is a big boy and she took him in with no questions asked and updated me through out the stay. She made sure he felts safe and loved. I would 100% recommend booking with her.”
“Lisa was wonderful with my Peppy! Snuggles, car ride, art work, and plenty of love by the family! Lisa really is awesome and very easy going to deal with. Your pet would be privileged and spoiled to be in her care :) Thanks again!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“James took such good care of my weim boy! My boy isn’t always the easiest dog to handle, and he can be high maintenance, and James made it seem like he was a breeze! Quickly Responsive, followed any/all care instructions. So happy to have peace of mind knowing my dog is well taken care of when he is there.”
“I’m so happy that my Millie and I found Marci! First of all, Marci responded to my request almost immediately. Second, her communication up until drop off and then during Millie’s 2-night stay was exceptional. It was the first time my dog had spent a night away from me (she is 5) so I was a bit nervous. Marci sent pictures throughout the day and let me know exactly how Millie was doing. My dog looked so happy and content running in the yard and snuggling inside their home. I’m grateful to have found a wonderful family with a sweet little dog of their own. Will definitely be re-booking!”
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“Kim was amazing! My dog is a little anxious and has some quirks, it’s a little hard to gain her trust but Kim definitely did! We got pictures throughout the stay and she was extremely nice, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Valerie was exceptional. This was our first time leaving Finn in someone else's house. She took him in with such ease and we totally trusted her. He love running in the back yard. Would highly recommend Valerie.”
“Cindy thank you for taking fabulous care of Elmer! I would recommend Cindy. She is professional, thoughtful & attentive to my dog’s needs. It’s evident that she enjoys it! I will definitely use her again.”
“Jan watched our dog Cash over Memorial Day weekend, Jan kept us up to date and sent pictures and videos of Cash. My husband and I both felt very comfortable leaving Cash with her. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands! She was so sweet and we could tell she really loved dogs. We will be booking again throughout the summer!”
“Hasan was the best! I was really in a bind and he came in and saved me immediately or my vacation would have been ruined. He provided daily communication with pictures and videos! i could tell that my dog had been well cared for & loved! I would definitely recommend his care for your pet sitting needs. Hasan & his partner go above & beyond!”
