“I highly recommend Renae for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! It was my first time leaving my Addie for a whole week but I felt at ease knowing Renae was taking care of her. Renae treated Addie like her own, including letting her play with her own dogs in her spacious yard. Renae showed how much she cared by making special food for Addie when she wasn’t eating well at first. The daily updates about how Addie was doing, always with a picture of short video made me feel confident that Addie was happy, healthy, and safe. Renae is so sweet and caring, and you can tell she really loves dogs. Knowing Addie was in such good hands made it much easier to leave and relax on vacation. I couldn't possibly say enough good things about Renae!”
“Brittany was great and would definitely book with her again! I have a high maintenance GSD and had no concerns leaving him with her for a few days. He came home happy as a clam.”
“I was completely and totally beyond satisfied and happy with the dog sitting provided by Vivian and her family. They went above and beyond making the dogs comfortable and happy, as well as, loved. They really went above and beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. I highly recommend them.”
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals—from reptiles and birds to cats, and dogs—I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care. Over the years, family and friends have relied on me to look after their pets, trusting my attentive and compassionate nature. With my own dog, I’ve completed puppy and advanced obedience classes, explored agility training, and even participated in AKC FastCAT trials. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. My schedule is highly flexible, so I’m available when you and your pet need care most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or a cozy stay while you’re away, I’m here to make pet parenting easier and stress-free. I have two children (ages 7 and 1½) who are gentle, curious, and adore spending time with pets. Alongside them is our friendly 4-year-old Dalmatian, who is crate-trained and well-socialized. We live on a spacious property with an invisible fence, but I understand not all pets are familiar with that setup—so your dog will always be walked on a leash for safety and comfort. I also have room for an additional crate to provide a secure space for your pet if I need to step out, ensuring their well-being at all times. Your furry family member will be treated with the same care and attentiveness I give my own.
“Melissa took excellent care of my pups. She is flexible, communicative, and very attentive and patient with my dogs. Melissa sent daily updates with photos and videos which we loved to see. She has two sweet pups that my dogs got along great with and loved playing with during their stay at her house. They also loved playing in her big fenced in yard. They came home happy and exhausted! We highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting/boarding! Thank you, Melissa!”
“Carol was the absolute best sitter we have known and used. Our dog was certainly a challenge at 17+ years old but she handled him with love and care throughout his stay. His poor eyesight and hearing, weak legs, anxiety, and the medications required for them were handled professionally.”

“Beatriz and her family are wonderful people who truly care about your pets. I was nervous about leaving my two yorkies who have some health issues and require twice daily medications. She took them on without a second thought. She sent me pictures and updates to help me feel at ease. When I came to get them, my dogs were relaxed/very comfortable there. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“Ann provided lots of photos of my girl during her stay. Lucy had a blast playing with her dog and I know she was well cared for while we were away!”
Haley C.
“I have known and been friends with Haley for over 20 plus years. If I could describe Haley in three words I would say compassionate, kind, and thoughtful. Her love for animals has been since she was just a little girl. She is the person I call whenever I have a question regarding one of my own dogs or when I need someone trustworthy to watch them. When my one dog had an urgent medical issue she literally dropped everything to come help me take him the hospital. That is the kind of person she is. If you choose Haley to watch or care for your animal you will not be disappointed. She will go above and beyond to give them the care they deserve.”
