“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!”


“Reggie had a great stay & got some good socialization. I was kept in the loop with pictures & status updates, which I appreciated! Reggie will miss his new friend Athena”



“We never had Scout stay in someone’s home before. Vivian’s reviews were outstanding, so we decided to give it a try. She asked us to come over for a visit before boarding. That visit calmed all our worries. Vivian and her family were so attentive to Scout and it was apparent that they were very loving and knowledgeable. When we dropped him off for his “vacation” she quickly escorted him to yard to allow him to get acclimated, while her husband helped us with Scout’s belongings. During the vacation, we received pictures two or three times a day. It was apparent that he was enjoying his stay. I am sure he especially enjoyed the walks and the trips in the car. When we have picked him up from boarding kennels before, he would not leave our side. When we picked him up from Vivian’s, he spent time jumping all over us and then bounced back and forth between her family and our family. It was obvious how much he loved them. We will definitely be scheduling more vacations with Vivian in the future. She and her family have given us peace of mind that we never had with anyone else taking care of Scout. Thank you Vivian and Family!!!! ?”


“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”


“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”

“We had to unexpectedly go out of town and booked our dog’s stay through Rover after many years. It was very assuring that brie seemed to have a good time with Michelle and Tom. They were very understanding to Brie’s anxiety issues and very accommodating to Her dietary needs. Thank you Michelle, we will Surely keep brie with you when we go out.”


“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”


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.

“Carol is amazing. She was loving and kind with our pup and we were extremely comfortable with her when we left our pup at her home. We received regular photos and updates on sleeping, eating and playing. I highly recommend Carol!!!!”


“Gary is super, he has watched our dogs a couple times for us and is always very reliable and accommodating and our dogs always enjoy going there and love his big fenced in backyard. We recommend Gary as a sitter.”


“She was amazing with my babies. Constantly updating me on them, and loving them like her own. She went above and beyond with taking care of them and making sure my girl didn’t loose her lamby even repairing lamby for us.”



“Jessica was a wonderful sitter for my puppy last weekend. She is super responsive, sent photos and videos of my puppy over the weekend, let me know of any issues that came up, and she was very flexible about the pick up/drop off times/days. I knew when I met her that my puppy would be in good hands, and I look forward to having her dog-sit for me in the future.”


“Beatriz and her husband are absolutely fantastic! They sent frequent, adorable pictures and kept us updated on our babies. Totally spoiled them rotten.. I think both our pets were reluctant to leave. I would use them again and again!”


“Sharon was excellent! She was very responsive, sent lots of updates, and was overall great to work with. Her two dogs are very sweet and got along well our dog. We would rebook with Sharon in a heartbeat!”



“Victoria is an incredible sitter, and Ghost and I are looking forward to booking her again in the future! She is extremely thoughtful and truly a dog person. We scheduled a meet and greet very quickly and had a lovely time getting to know one another. She introduced Ghost to two of her dogs and walked us through her daily routine while sitting. After a horrific event at a boarding facility this past fall, I was anxious to leave Ghost again, but Victoria made me feel so comfortable. She sends multiple videos and check ins daily. I can’t begin to describe how at peace I felt seeing him after the first day with her and the other dogs! Victoria is so wonderful, and we feel so lucky!”
