“I’ve booked with Roseanna several times now and I couldn’t recommend her more! Her and her boys are great with my pup, Lylla. Roseanna is super attentive and responsive and always keeps me updated on how Lylla is doing. We look forward to booking with her again!”


“Jia watched my dog, Tara last Tuesday night. I was apprehensive of course , leaving her with someone new but my fears were definitely unfounded. She sent several pics showing me what Tara was up to all night, & in every photo, Tara looked thrilled. I was then able to enjoy my night out with no concerns for her welfare. Can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend her! She’s wonderful.”


“Megan was awesome. She walked our dog on a regular basis, only watches one dog at a time (which is huge for us), always replied to texts quickly and sent pictures/videos to keep our minds at ease. She's a little far away for us, but worth the drive, will definitely use her again.”


“She is amazing. Very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog adored her. She sent pictures of how my dog was doing and updates which really put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her.”


“Marilyn took care of Yoshi very well. We were nervous using someone we didn’t know but Marilyn put our nerves at ease for being so sweet and caring. You can tell she is very caring and passionate about pets/animals. She responds quickly and we are so lucky to find a pet-sitter for Yoshi as she is fantastic. We have already booked Yoshi for Thanksgiving for our kids are going to see their grandparents and we feel so lucky Yoshi is being taken care by Marilyn.”


“John was absolutely wonderful! My one shepherd has numerous allergies and is very accident prone, while my other shepherd is very reactive to other dogs. Because of this, I was very anxious to leave my pups, but John was very patient and answered every question and concern that I had. He gave plenty of updates and pictures and my pups came back healthy, happy, and well rested. I definitely plan to board them with John in the future! Highly recommend!!!”


“What a great experience with my first time using a dog sitter for my very laid back dog, Lucy! The family listened and understood exactly what Lucy needed to have a great time! She absolutely loved this family, & so did I. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed about leaving her in their care! We have already scheduled the next visit!”


“Kelly is awesome. While we were away, a family emergency caused us to have to extend our stay, and Kelly didn't flinch in watching Hazel for several extra days. Very cool!”


“i'm extremely pleased with Melissa and Daniels care for Phoebe. She really enjoyed playing with their dogs and had supervised time exploring their backyard pond, which was a wonderful experience for her. Melissa kept me reassured with daily updates and photos, making it easy to feel confident that Phoebe was happy and well cared for. Knowing they often foster dogs and have extensive experience with pit bulls gave me extra peace of mind. I would definitely reach out to Melissa and Daniel again for boarding and highly recommend them to other pet owners.”


“Cindy was absolutely wonderful!! She cared for my girl Precious as her own. This was the first time I had ever left Precious with anyone and Cindy was caring and super communicative, sending me pictures and videos of Precious. There's no one else I'll leave my girl with!! I'm going to schedule more days and a weekend this week.”


“It was my first time leaving my dog anywhere I was nervous but Hali was amazing with my pup Leyla. Leyla could get very anxious when she’s around people that she doesn’t know and Hali made her feel welcome. The communication was wonderful she provided pictures at all time. Definitely will use Hali again to dog sit my Leyla.”


“First time using Rover and I was very nervous to leave my baby Stella with just anyone. I knew the minute I met Jessica and my Stella felt at ease with her that it was the right place. I was able to go out of the Country for 13 days and was at ease knowing my girl was being well cared for. Jessica took excellent care of my girl and sent me daily updates and photos and videos. I highly would recommend and would use Jessica again should I ever need someone to care for my baby girl.”


“Bear and Star both had a good time. They were tired when we picked them up. “A happy dog is a tired dog.” Will use him again when we go away.”


“James was great with Thor! I can tell Thor was enjoying himself and he was comfortable. They went well and beyond taking care of him. There's no doubt I will return with him, they cared for him as if he was apart of their family. I highly recommend them.”


“Daniel was very comforting and super helpful in making this experience easy and smooth. I felt so comfortable sending my dog to his house for the weekend because of all his great reviews. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a sitter. He sent pictures all weekend of my dog playing with Waldo which made me feel like I made the right choice. Waldo was so playful with my dog and I wasn't nervous to leave my puppy with him. My dog is small and Waldo knew exactly how to play with her. He had a fenced in backyard which was super exciting because I live in an apartment, so my dog had tons of space to run around. I am so happy to find a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Daniel!”


About: Hello. Im your pet's new best friend. Nice to meet you. I've been taking care of pets my entire life I am loving, caring and nurturing and pets are my family. They get treated as such. I can care for your fur baby for a day or for extended periods of time. If preferred, I can arrange it so your baby is the only pet in my care while im watching your baby. Understanding that pets come with a lot of responsibility , I take great care to provide a safe environment. I am the founder of Citizens Against Animal Abuse. I'm good at providing basic training such as sit, stay, down, let's go out, no, etc. Your pet will have a great time hanging out with me. I work from home so I will be with your pet at all times. I can take care of your fur baby for a day or for a few months if needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room and a large house where we can play or your pet can take a comfy nap.

“Thank you Tracy and Brian for taking such good care of my two puppies! The pictures and videos from you while they were in your care were the icing on the cake! I could see how well you cared for them and kept them busy playing! I loved the "indoor pet play area"! They will definitely be returning!”


“Maura was incredible with my cat! I am so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her!!!”


“Angela & Michael were very understanding, caring, and went beyond the expected on trying to make sure our dog will be comfortable and happy while under their care. Ours is a very sensitive dog, very attached to us and pretty sure he suffers of separation anxiety, so he was very stressed and sad the first day, he even acted aggressively for the first time to other people, but they were very understanding of his situation and emotions and by the next morning he was himself again, the whole family interacted with ShiZhu and made him feel at home, loved and well cared.”


“Excellent, excellent experience. Joe and Bonnie are warm, welcoming true dog-lovers who lavished affection on my Sona and made her feel right at home. I could go on and on about what an exceptional experience this was, but I selfishly want to keep them all to myself! ; )”

Her home is clean and spacious, and my dogs are free to roam the entire house. Her yard is fenced in so my dogs were safe running around. I received multiple updates and photos. Her dogs and cats are super friendly with other animals. Sophia also trained my younger pup while boarding and I am super happy with the results. I can't recommend her enough!”
