“Mr Clayton was wonderful with my new pup. He kept me updated with messages and pictures while I was away. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”


“The first visit I knew she was the one. Nice home and family! Very nice and helpful! We never worried while gone as we got daily updates and pic/videos! We definitely recommend Larissa and it’s worth every penny!”


“Chasity was amazing! She was great about responding in a timely manner and sending me updates about how my dogs were doing. I could tell that they were in good hands upon dropping them off and I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worries about my dogs. I plan to re-use Chasity’s dog sitting services in the future!”


“Amanda, was an absolute pleasure! She took such good care of Duke, excellent communication and flexible with pick up / drop off. Duke really enjoyed his time with Amanda and her dogs!! We'll definitely be back!”


“Danielle and her family provided wonderful care for little Ichigo! Their dog Panda is the perfect playmate. Will definitely request again when we are on the road! Thanks again! Rowena C.”


“Highly recommend! We will definitely book with Mandi and Matthew again for our pups! Our dogs were well taken care of and we got photos everyday. Thank you both for taking such great care of our dogs!”


“Tianna was amazing and so sweet to our pup. She sent pictures and updates daily which helped me a lot throughout this whole process. Will definitely ask her again to watch our pupper! She's super patient and flexible which was great for our hectic schedule.”


“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Caitlin was absolutely fantastic with our little Aurora. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our furbaby than we did with Caitlin. She loved on Aurora as if she was her own. I loved all of the updates and pictures ahe sent to us! It's a good sign when our dog wanted to stay with Caitlin rather than go home. I would highly recommend Caitlin! We will certainly be repeat clients!!”


About: I’ve helped my baby through a hard battle with an autoimmune disorder. I’m capable of anything at this point. Especially, loving on pups that need their caretaker to go the extra mile. I’m able to drop in around lunch and/or house sit most every evening. I can especially help travelers that want to bring their dog on vacation but don’t want to have to do all the less fun activities for their pets. I’ll do whatever it asked of me while respecting your home, your loved fur baby, your money and your time. I truly do have your back.

“I was completely satisfied with her sitting! 100 % recommend her! My dogs loved their stay. Was very polite, respectful & understanding. She would update me on how my dogs were doing & send pictures. Which I loved! I appreciate her so much! Please go to her :)”


“This lady did a phenomenal job with my dog Little Joe! She was reasonably priced, so I decided to give her a try. My dog has never been in boarding before, but I had no choice due to needing to go out of town for a week. She was accommodating and she is great with pets. My little fella is not used to strangers or being away from me, but she did exceptionally well with him. She was responsive from booking to pick up! She sent photos during the week, and anytime I was wondering about him during the week, she always quickly responded with pictures! I will without a doubt use her again. I can tell that she is serious about pet sitting as she had a room in her home set up as a pet daycare. She’s worth her weight in gold, and I can’t wait to send LJ back anytime I’m in need of a pet sitter. Thank you thank you thank you for taking such amazing care of my boy, and for sending him home with treats. See ya again soon🐾 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”


“Leaving our sweet boy behind has never been as comforting and low stress as it was with having Jason watch him for us. Knowing Colt was having a great time and in a loving home while we were out of town means the world to us! We came back to a safe and happy boy. We are so grateful!!”


About: Having owned 3 labs throughout my life (currently one lab and one yorkipoo) I have house trained and cared for all of these dogs with zero issues or emergencies and given them the most care and love they could receive. I take people fishing for a living, and with the season slowing down it gives me ample time to work side jobs in the off season, one of which I truly enjoy which is caring for peoples pets! I have two extremely friendly dogs (a lab and a yorkipoo) that absolutely love other dogs and are the most playful and gentle dogs you could imagine!
