“Dana and her family were the perfect match for our Luna! Our pup had all of the family members attending to her, from TV snuggles to fresh air hikes around the lake nearby... and with constant communication and photos from Dana during her stay. We love that Luna has another family to love her like we do while we are away! We will most definitely be calling Dana for our next trip!”


“Melissa and family gave Ranger the best weekend while I was out of town. She kept me in the loop with respect to his sleeping and eating habits, familiarization with other pets in the home, and shared many photos along the way. I would absolutely book with Melissa again. Thanks so much, Melissa!”


“Allison took care of both of our babies so well. She is so accommodating and warm. She truly cares about the pups she watches and loves animals overall! Highly recommend. Thank you Allison!!”


“Jennifer was a great sitter and Dakotah took to her Right away. I didn't know that Jennifer has a baby and this was Dakotah '1st exposure with a baby and they also formed a nice connection. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will be booking with her in the future. The Rover service fee's are pricey. That's one huge drawback, but i had a positive experience with my sitter Have a great day and thank you again kindly Jennifer.”


“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”


“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”


“Lauren was really amazing with Stacy, she sent me updates and pictures. Stacy was so happy. I will use her again in the future. I’m really happy the way Lauren took care of Stacy”


“Daphne was so great with Jake. Very patient and easy to workmwith. Our boy gets anxious when left alone at night. He is used to sleeping in our room. I forgot to let Daphne know and he barked for a while in their living room. Daphne texted me and we let her know he isnt used to sleeping alone. She hung out with him to calm His anxiety down and she slept on the couch with him. She was so kind and we appreciated that. Definitly someone we would trust our pup with.”



“Morgan was very helpful. She kept me updated with videos of Seymour, was responsive, and was also able to watch him an additional two hours from the scheduled pickup time due to a delay on my end. My pup was happy and healthy.”


“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”


“Siobhan was amazing and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Lavender’s stay. Her yard is fenced in and Lavender sure enjoyed getting to run around with her dogs. I’m pretty sure Siobhan even groomed Lavender’s paws for me!!!! Lavender has definitely found a home away from home when I’m traveling. Thanks a million!!! Lavender misses her pals already.”


“Julia is great! Maggie loved being there. She took great care of her. I was very comfortable leaving her. I knew she was in good hands!! She sent me updates and pictures. 100% satisfied!”


“Our Aussie shepherd, Woody, loved this family! A great spot, yard and home. Two other friendly dogs and great older kids who our dog now misses playing with! Charlene’s was so sweet and easy to work with during booking drop off and pickup. She sent us a few messages during the stay and showed photos of our dog happily enjoying his visit. Would definitely recommend her. And will choose her again!”



“Tiffany is amazing. When we leave our sweet girl with her, we know we don’t need to worry AT ALL! Tiffany is great about sending updates and is very sweet and communicative...very easy to work with! She has watched our pup several times and we hope she will continue to in the future. Almost hate to recommend her because we don’t want her getting too popular ;), but we highly recommend Tiffany to anyone who wants total piece-of-mind that their pup(s) are being very well cared for while they’re away.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since an early age having grown up with 2-3 dogs at a time, administered meds for my own pets as well as neighbors, have volunteered at rescue clinics throughout the years starting in High School, have frequented many dog parks and currently am the proud owner of a rescue. I am a young, recent retiree who likes to do yoga and paint. I am available every day except Sunday. I volunteer 1 day a week doing a work study program at a local Yoga studio for 3 hrs. I am very flexible. I have a fur baby to keep yours company if i am hosting. I will go with the flow of your dog. If they like to play and run around, we will do that. If they prefer to take leisurely sniffing walks we will do that. Consider a booking with me like a retreat for your pet, they will get 5 star treatment and you will come home to a happy, fulfilled pet.
