“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“I needed someone last minute and was super stressed about leaving my pup for the first time but Victoria took such great care of Lola I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands! Can’t thank you enough!!”
“Tia was an absolute perfect petsitter for my dog Finley! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure that my boy was getting lots of attention and playtime in the backyard. Tia’s dog Tang was a fantastic companion and playmate so Finley was spoiled having a canine friend around. Couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Kassandra is the sweetest person we have ever left our dog with. She was very punctual and picked Leo up and dropped him off at the agreed upon time. Leo needed meds and extra care due to his multiple medical problems but Kassandra took care of him very well. Leo was very happy with Kassandra as I could see when she was leaving after dropping him off and Leo didn’t want her to leave. Kassandra gave us daily updates and additional updates as needed so the communication was excellent. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Leo!”
“We strongly recommend Nelia, Brett, and Family. Our dog had the best boarding experience ever with them. We got regular daily updates, and he was always very happy during the visit. He was also sad to leave them at the end of the visit. We will definitely board with them the next time we are out of town.”
“Amy did a great job! She sent daily updates and pics of Jeter. I won’t hesitate to board Jeter with Amy again. Overall, I am very happy and will continue to use Amy in the future.”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Nicole watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job! I got plenty of updates, her home was lovely, and my old dog seemed so happy. 10/10 would book again!”

“Eronda’s heart bleeds for dogs. We had her dog sit our dog for 10 days. He is an anxious dog and returned happier than ever and we enjoyed our vacation knowing he was in the best of hands. Thanks so much Eronda!!”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!”

I would definitely recommend Victoria for dog-sitting. She is very communicative and sends tons of videos. My dog developed some diarrhea the day before I dropped her off and Victoria gave her her medication and took care of her with no problem. I knew my dog was safe and well-cared for when I was out of town!
Cindy is absolutely amazing! She sends daily updates and multiple pictures, which put our minds at ease. We hate to leave our fur babies, but when we do, we can't think of a better place for our dogs. They get multiple walks per day and lots of cuddle time. The only problem is that I don't think they want to leave Cindy's because they have so much fun!
Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.
Elizabeth was amazing!! We took our 12 year old small dog, who has alot of anxiety and issues with being left alone and I have never seen her so happy with a sitter!! Elizabeth gave our Mia so much attention and love that we were afraid that she wouldn't want to come home with us. I hope that she never stops dog sitting because I am sure we will never find someone as perfect for our Mia as Elizabeth.
Kassandra is the sweetest person we have ever left our dog with. She was very punctual and picked Leo up and dropped him off at the agreed upon time. Leo needed meds and extra care due to his multiple medical problems but Kassandra took care of him very well. Leo was very happy with Kassandra as I could see when she was leaving after dropping him off and Leo didn’t want her to leave. Kassandra gave us daily updates and additional updates as needed so the communication was excellent. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Leo!
Tia and her family were amazing. They provided photos and videos multiple times a day. They have a very large and safe backyard that our pups enjoyed. She even taught our mini dachshunds to safely use her stairs. She informed us at pickup that one of our pups tried to mark his territory several times, which is our fault because he has yet to be fixed. We were not aware that this would be an issue because he does great at home. I sincerly appreciate her kindness, patience, understanding to the situation. I on the other hand, was very embarrassed and plan on making that neutering appointment before we book with her again. 10/10 highly recommend.
