“Deb and Vic are awesome! This is our dogs second visit and Deb and Vic go above and beyond to make our senile old lady happy and comfortable. She came home very relaxed. I'm so grateful to them for all they do.”

“Carla was very communicative and quick to respond whenever I had questions or concerns. I really appreciated her flexibility while I was searching for a sitter in my area. She took good care of my pup, even though he wasn’t feeling 100% during my time away, and kept me updated throughout the stay.”


“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”

“Lin took great care of Mylo. She is very attentive and caring. Mylo was well cared for and content when I picked him up. Lin sent me videos as well and had Mylo all ready and out front when I picked him up!! Even carried his gear to the car for me!!”

“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.”

“Veronica it’s such a great fit for our sensitive dog! She really understood him—and her dog is also a lovely adorable pup!! will definitely book Veronica in the future if she is available for upcoming trips. She’s easy-going and good at communicating. I am so glad that we found her.”

“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”

“Sandra was great with my Zeus. She kept me informed of his actions and took care of him while I was away. My dog is anxious, so it meant a lot that she cared and connected with him. I will use her services again.”

“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”

“We had an extended vacation and had to leave our puppy behind. Alexis, was very communicative and reached out with photos in the AM and PM. Very responsive. Khloe loves her and always happy when she sees her. I highly recommend Alexis.”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

“Our dane stayed with Angel and Mark for 11 days over Easter. They were wonderful to our pup. They sent pictures each day to help put our mind at ease. It made our vacation a lot nicer, knowing that our pup was in good hands and having a great time. One of the things I love about their house it that they have a fenced in part that the dogs can run. In addition, when dropping off, you can tell that they keep their space meticulously clean. Definite perk! When I picked up, Justice was clean and happy! Will definitely be rebooking for future vacations.”

“Thanks Christopher, you did a great job having Kaya, she is healthy and happy after staying with you! Will recommend you to my friends and next time when I have to go on vacation, I'll ask you to have Kaya with you once more, if you don't mind!”

“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”

“We are so lucky to have found Morgan! When our long time dog sitter moved away, we needed to find a new sitter for our two energetic German Shorthairs. From the beginning, Morgan was wonderful. She was responsive to all of our questions. She has a large, fenced-in backyard which was a must. During our time away, Morgan kept us updated with messages and pictures which helped us appreciate that the dogs were in great hands. We also appreciated her willingness to let us bring their big dog beds to help them feel more “at home”. When we picked up our pups, I could tell right away how happy and well-cared for they were. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”


“Jake and Mischa were our last-minute life savers! When our plans fell through for our dog sitters for our wedding, they stepped in! What an AMAZING pair they are. They daily pictures throughout the day of River and Maverick and made sure we were at ease. They were in amazing hands! Even better—they offered a drop off and pick up service. Id rate them One million stars if I could! Repeat customers for sure!”

About: I am a true animal lover and I would treat your animals as my own. I have lots of pet care experience from having my own of 2 cats and 1 dog and taking care of some friends. I have done 2 years of pet therapy with my own dog and completed basic to advanced dog training. I have volunteered for father john animal house and eleventh hour rescue to get some shelter experience and more dog exposure. I would prefer to work with small to medium dog size. My second hobby is animal training which is a rewarding experience to me from dog socialization to learning basic commands. I just love working with dogs and is rewarding in seeing the dog learned the command. As i like to walk daily, pets fit into my daily schedule perfectly. Our daily morning schedule usually 7 days a week is potty upon awakening, breakfast and playtime upon first hour. Then a morning walk and another one around dinner time. I have a unfenced yard but believe exercise is a high requirement for the dog. What i do in place is 2 daily neighborhood walks and take her occasionally to local parks to walk around for different smells and meet other friendly dogs. Also believe in going to any local dog events for shelters to give dog interactions/ socialization.
