“Stephanie is the best! She was so kind and understanding. Sent a lot of photos and updates and let me know how Ripley was doing throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend as your next sitter. She did an excellent job and her communication skills are stellar”
“I could tell how much Aspen (Mini Aussie, 4) really enjoyed his 2 night stay with Robert. Aspen was immediately comfortable around Robert and his very well behaved King Charles dogs. The yard was fantastic as it allowed for him to play 10/10”
“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”
“Taylor took great care of our 17 year old senior pup. She has an array of age-related needs, and he made sure she was comfortable, eating regularly, and getting outside...and all of those things are challenging for her at this point. I would highly recommend him!”
“Amy was awesome! It was my first time leaving Bailey with anyone other than family. I expected to be nervous but I felt very confident and at ease, especially when Amy sent me photos and videos of Bailey hanging out with her and her family. Bailey did great and I will definitely be calling Amy again when I need a sitter!”
“Lara did a outstanding job with our little dog Izzy. She kept us informed on how Izzy was doing with photos, videos, and text messages since we were gone for two weeks to visit our family in Anchorage. We will definitely use her again. I was afraid that our Izzy wasn't going to want to come back home. I highly recommend that you give her a try. Very reasonable compared to other sitters.”
“Our Max had a great time with Kaylah and her family! We had great communication and pics and we felt that our sweet dog was loved and well cared for. Will definitely plan to book with Kaylah again.”
“Angela took such great care of our littles while we were out of town. She gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in the best of hands sending so many pictures and updates throughout their stay with her & her family! Highly recommend.”
“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”
“Carey was wonderful with Jager! She was extremely responsive, friendly, and kept me well updated with photos throughout his stay. It was clear her whole family showered my fur baby with love. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”
“Thank You, for taking care of my furry buddy Buck! According to Buck 🐕 he really enjoyed being around you all! He even said, “ 🐕 When May I Return”?? I replied soon perhaps 🤔. Lol… Thanks Again 🐕”
“Mia was amazing with my anxious dog Reya! She was very communicative, took great care of her, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
About: I understand how nerve wracking it can be to have someone new care for your baby! I’ve been caring for pups for roughly 10 years. I’m typically the go-to sitter for my friends but and family. I treat your pup as my own. I ensure they stick to their normal routine and get plenty of exercise and love so they’re comfortable! I work remote and have my own friendly golden I take on my walks throughout the day, so I am flexible with my schedule. Week days and weekends work for me. I have my own pup, so your pup will have company and I will treat yours as my own! I am happy to crate if needed or follow any extra safety protocols you need. I am confident in administering medicine your pup needs as well. I will send daily updates and photos to ease your mind! Pups are welcome on furniture (with your permission) so they can feel cozy and at home.
“Pepper staying with Tasha gives us peace of mind when ever we need to go out of town. This time around we had a death in the family and had a last minute trip. Tasha was very kind to allow a last minute booking like that. When Pepper gets back home we know she’s been cared for. She also has the opportunity to play outside with other pups and get her exercise, as well as down time and cuddles with the family. I definitely recommend stays with Tasha!”
“Danielle was very polite and receptive of Onyx. She kept me updated over 4 days with texts and pictures of Onyx. I’m pleased with her care of Onyx and wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again. J Holmes”
“Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.”
“Allie was great. She was flexible and allowed me to add an extra night. Lots of good pics and my pup was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I think he had a fun time with new friends! Will definitely use her again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend 👍”

Meghan and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the start, her communication was quick and reassuring, and she kept us updated with photos and messages so we knew our pup was happy and cared for. Our dog came home relaxed and happy, which says it all. We would 100% book with Meghan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!
