“Shylina is excellent! Very response, gave us updates and photos everyday. Our dogs can be nervous and she was very understanding and was able to get them to warm up to her. Our dogs were very well taken care of!”
“As always, we are so appreciative of Joanna. We added a second dog to our family, Pepper, who is a bit more of a handful. Joanna was so communicative of how things were going and determined to keep both dogs happy and healthy. Joanna is truly the best!”
“We booked Bryttin to stay at our home for a full week to watch our 2 rescue dogs. They both have special needs (pills, high anxiety, etc.). They both took to her right away! She did an amazing job keeping us updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind as I knew they were being well taken care of. She was very respectful to our home and it was spotless when we returned. This was especially nice after getting in later than expected after a long drive. The dogs were happy and healthy and excited to see us. We will definitely be reaching out to Bryttin again for any dog and house sitting needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
“Scott was friendly, easy to work with and very flexible. He went above and beyond for our dog because he said he didn't want to leave our dog alone - that's great. He also waited late past the discussed time as well just for the dog. He provided updates as needed and was quick to communicate. He accommodates our requests with our dog and was eager to do more even. Id easily have him help with our dog again.”
About: I have cared for many dogs over the years. I love taking our Mokes to meet other dogs and exercise areas to meet new pups! I am also comfortable administering medications, and have been a nurse for many years. I love taking our dog everywhere I go and your dog would be treated, just like my own! Throwing a ball and long walks are what every dog loves, so let me help you with your busy schedule! I’m currently working full time during the day, most weekdays. I am available evenings, on the weekends and most all holidays! I can be very flexible with last minute needs. I have one very friendly chocolate lab, that loves to have new playmates! I can also easily crate your pup, if that’s what you prefer. We love to take walks to the nearby park and play fetch. I also like to watch animals in their own environment if that is where they are most comfortable!
“Gabby did a great job dog sitting and house sitting! She updated us daily during our trip which put me at ease that our pups were well cared for. Our house was clean when we came home as well. We would definitely welcome Gabby back to watch the dogs again!”
