“Tonja took wonderful care of our 2 boys while we were away! They had such a great time playing with her and her dog that they were asleep before we got them home. She also shared videos and photos while we were gone so we knew they were happy and comfortable! We would definitely recommend Tonja for a sitter!”

7. Yamila C.

“I would highly recommend Yamila. Yamila and her partner, Brandon are absolute angels. They are great people and so so kind. Not only did they take great care of my dog, Zena, and helped calm her down in the thunderstorm season, they were super accommodating and worked with me to arrange Zena’s drop-off and pick-up times. Yamila is a great communicator and very responsive. My flight was delayed and she was in constant communication with me to have Zena picked up late at night. If you are looking for a sitter, definitely book with Yamila.”

11. Nicholas C.
About: I’m a retired teacher and entreprenuer. My long time furry best friend recently passed. I’m looking to help others out by boarding their dogs. I am home all day everyday. I am home all day and can let your pup out as many times as needed. Most days consist of doing house work, yard work and watching tv so your pet would be great company to have. I am able to be with them at all times to give them as many walks as needed, feed at meal times, give medication, cuddles and belly rubs. We have a large home for them to roam and a deck they can sunbathe on.


12. Andrea H.

“Juno had the best day hanging out with Andrea and her dogs while we left on a day trip to Chicago. Juno is an anxious dog and getting pictures throughout the day showing her relaxed and playful was very reassuring. We would absolutely use Andrea again if we bring our dog on a trip to Clinton again.”

Meaning I’ll be in town for two weeks at a time, and out of town for two weeks. I’ll have weekdays from 8am to 5pm and weekends after 4pm. I have majority of the day to relax and exercise your puppies. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room for your pups to enjoy outside or if they are lazy butts; got a couch for them to relax on. I can also take your dogs on walks and or runs if that’s required for them.
