“This was Wall-E's second visit with Rillan, an extended stay of 12 nights. It was very nice to get updates and pictures while I was traveling, and to see that Wall-E was getting along with other guests. He is comfortable staying with Rillan, and will have more opportunities to visit in the future.”
“Five stars all around, amazing sitters, super responsive and shared lots of pictures which we absolutely loved seeing. They were above and beyond communicative and amazing and look forward to having our pup stay with them again!”
“Benny is now part of Mariah’s “extended family”! He goes right in the house and leaves with a smile! It means a lot as a dog owner to be able to feel no stress when I drop Benny off to go on my work trips! THANKS MARIAH & FAMILY!😊🦮”
“Haley is so kind and wonderful to my “old girl”, Cashmere. Taking care of Cashmere is no easy task considering her health conditions but Haley treats her with just as much love as anyone could ask.”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”

About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.
