“Greta was absolutely amazing! They took the time to meet my dogs beforehand, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in their care. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with messages and photos, so I knew my pups were happy and well-cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Melissa took the job short notice. She went above and beyond taking care of my 2 Pomskies. She worked with them to help us fix some of their problem areas, and she walked them every day. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for them. We will keep her in mind for future overnights, walks, and drop ins. Thank you for all your help Melissa!”

“Aubrey was perfect really helped me when I was in a bind and I truly appreciate it! I'm forever grateful honestly. I think Mocha had a great time too! So that's always great! Would defiant recommend!”

“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”

“Becky provided excellent care for our two pups. We were very grateful that she was available to house-sit our dogs which made it so much easier and less stressful for us and our dogs. I know that they were well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”

“Haley was super! She did a phenomenal job watching our pets while we were on vacation. I know they were loved and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and pictures too. Additionally she did a great job caring for our house while we were out. It felt great to return home to a house that looked great and pets that were well cared for and loved. I would without hesitation use Haley again. I highly recommend her.”

“Bridget did a great job house sitting and taking care of our pups! She sent pics every day or two so we could see the pups and she went the extra mile picking up the yard from the dogs, checking the mail and cleaning up some before she left. Thank you and awesome job.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog lover here to keep tails wagging. I’ve spent over 6 years caring for dogs of all ages—including puppies, seniors, and special needs pets. I provide walks, meals, support, and lots of love to make sure every pup feels safe and happy while their parents are away. I also have two playful husky puppies of my own, so I know how fun (and full of energy!) pups can be! As a full-time wedding photographer, I’m busiest on weekends, but on weekdays I dedicate time for walks, feeding, play, and cuddles. I provide consistent care, attention, and love to keep every dog happy, safe, and energized while fitting pet care smoothly into my weekly schedule I prioritize safety and trust in every environment, whether in my home or a client’s. I supervise pets at all times, provide secure spaces, follow routines, and offer a calm, loving atmosphere so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for
“Sara was great at helping out with our dog and cat! She sent lots of pictures and even took Gus (the dog) out for coffee! We were so thankful that our pets had the highest and loving care while we were away!”

About: I have had 2 dogs my whole life and I always have been so caring and loving with them. I take care of them and try to make them feel safe and happy with me. I’m free most of the days after 4 pm! I would be glad to take care of your dogs on the afternoon or nights. Some weekends I’m free too! I have always cared about my pets. I make sure they eat healthy, have a good sleep, but also have a lot of fun and stay active!

Conor was wonderful!! Not only did he give my dogs snuggles and all the pets, he made sure everyone was happy and fed! He was extremely timely and ensured we had all the pictures and updates that we could possibly need! We can’t wait to have him watch our fur babies again in the future!
