“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”


“I can’t say enough good things about Kevin and his dog sitting services! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes his responsibilities seriously. He treated our pup like family, giving her tons of love, attention, and exercise. It was such a relief knowing she was in such capable and caring hands while we were away.”


“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”


“We were nervous about boarding our dog the first time (mainly my wife) and Lisbeth was an absolutely fabulous person to trust our puppy with! She is a professional, caring, and responsible "sitter" and we will be lucky if she is available the next time we need her. Yes this is a lot of praise, but it's for good reason. Thank you!”


“Our dog Trixie is deaf and we don’t like to leave her alone for long periods of time, so we hired Stephanie and Elizabeth to care for her while we went away for the day. Trixie received excellent care. Both women greeted us in the parking lot, and asked extensive questions regarding her care. They sent some photos and updates during her stay. We were very impressed and will definitely hire them again.”


“My dog Walter had his own vacation while I was on mine! I was able to really relax and enjoy my trip knowing Walter was in good hands and having a good time, not just the basics. Highly recommend!!”



“We were very happy with our dog's stay with Donna. She went out of her way to make sure Banjo was cared for while we were out of town. Donna provided many updates throughout the week as well as great photos so we felt comfortable while away. This was our first experience leaving our dog for a week and we were pleased with Donna's consistent care. We would confidently place our dog in Donna's care again. ”


“Pam did an amazing job watching our Lily for 2 weeks. Lily came home very happy and Pam even gave her a nice bath and brush before we picked her up. she was very attentive to her needs. Thank you Pam for taking such great care of our Lily Girl🐾”


“We are forever grateful to have found Tami in our search for a safe, loving, caring environment to watch our beloved dogs. Tami is an absolute joy with a warm and infectious personality that our dogs felt immediately comfortable with. She provided the utmost amount of care, love and attention to our two dogs who absolutely felt right at home from the moment they walked into in her loving home. For reference we have two 70-80ish pound dogs that can absolutely play like rowdy, rumble and tumble brothers at times and Tami handled them with understanding and experience. Our dogs loved her two sweet female dogs and they all played together well. Kind and informative updates were provided to us while we were away on vacation complete with photos and videos of our sweet boys showcasing their level of happiness! We couldn’t be more grateful for you! Thank you a million times over! We know Declan and Zeus can’t wait to see you again! And, we as pet parents are over the moon having the peace of mind that we finally found a safe, loving pet lover to watch our dogs. Zeus & Declan say thank you and miss you already! With our forever thanks, Stephanie & Daniel! ❤️”


“Linda is an Excellent Pet Sitter! She definitely has a Heart for Fur Babies. Our Pups, Chopper & Fiona were very Happy and Not @ all Stressed. You can tell they were well Loved in the Pics; which Linda sent every day. We also got fun videos of the dogs going on walks. If anyone can Handle our Two Clowns then they know what they are doing. Linda made us feel very comfortable & confident that the Dogs were doing Great and No Worries. So When You are Looking for a Per Sitter, you got the Right Person. Thanks Linda!”


“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”


“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I was taught that a pet is only a pet in the beginning. Then, they're family. Know that your baby will not only be safe, but also cared for when in my care. I have a flexible part-time schedule and take classes online, so I spend a good bit of time at home. Plenty of opportunities for cuddles and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard. I can supervise outside, if preferred. I have 3 cats. The boys are interested and my come up to your pet, but that's all. My female cat will just ignore them. They're pretty docile.

“Jessica did a great job of caring for Buddy, who is stubborn and protective of his own space. I felt he was very safe and could see from the photos she sent that he was comfortable. Jessica answered my questions quickly and was very organized with drop-off and pick-up. I would certainly take Buddy to her again.”


“Our dog spent the weekend with Janette, and we couldn't have found a better 'home away from home' for her. This is an oasis for any dog: a large, fenced yard provides plenty of room for exercise and entertainment, and her dog is great company for visiting canines. This is a true pet paradise, and we'll be recommending Janette's pet-sitting services to our friends. ”
