“5 stars as always! Archie had the best stay and got to hang with lots of dog friends. We got so many updates as we were on vacation which made our trip even better knowing he was being taken great care of .thanks Kathleen!! Archie will be back soon you are the best!”


“Richard was amazing with our dog! He kept us updated with pictures. We had a great peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Richard!”



“Victoria did a fantastic job with taking care of my dog, Stella, while I was on travel for a week. She was very informal about how my dog was doing on a daily basis, took great photos, and always made sure Stella had plenty of outdoor/play time. I know my Stella definitely enjoyed her stay haha. I highly recommend Victoria to watch your dog as I very much trust her with mine.”


“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Nelia & Brett. They took great care of my dog and she seemed much happier in their care versus the more traditional boarding options we've used previously. We felt so comfortable with the multiple updates and photos. Our sweet girl seemed so happy and we look forward to booking with them again.”


“Christine is a great sitter. My Winnie is happy at her place and has great interactions w other pets while she's there. I love the communication and photos she sends.”


“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.

“Kristen was absolutely amazing! My dog was sssssooooo comfortable with her and the other pets. Even made friends with a kitten!!!!! Love her! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!!! THANK YOU 😊”


“We could not be more pleased with Ashley’s care for our doggie! Tabitha clearly felt very comfortable with her and had fun at her house. Ashley sent frequent updates as to how things were going which was so reassuring. We loved how enthusiastic she was about caring for a big dog and making sure Tabitha was happy and relaxed. We look forward to having Ashley care for our doggie again!”
