Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.

Kelly is wonderful to work with and her home and yard are great for our two doggies. Kelly stayed in touch with us during our travel and was happy to accommodate our dogs little quirks. Highly recommend and already booked another visit. :-)

Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.

Melissa was exceptional!! I needed someone to look after my pups while recovering from emergency appendix surgery in my apartment and I am so so glad Melissa was available. Not only was she quick to respond, but she made sure my girls were taken care of and worn out by running in her backyard. I will be using her again 100% and recommend her to anyone searching for a sitter.

About: I’m a full-time teacher and dedicated dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior companions. At home, I have three small dogs (Westie, Cavapoo, and Dachshund), so I understand different temperaments and care needs. I offer a calm, structured, and loving home environment with close supervision, consistent routines, and personalized attention. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. I’m a full-time teacher, so my weekday availability is after school hours and evenings, with full availability on weekends and school breaks. During the school year, dogs in my care will have a consistent routine before and after work, and I ensure they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. On weekends, I’m home more often and able to provide extra attention, playtime, and supervision. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, clean, and loving home alongside my three small, friendly dogs. I carefully monitor interactions to ensure all dogs feel comfortable and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I maintain a calm environment and can separate or crate dogs if needed for safety or rest. My home is structured, supervised, and pet-friendly, and I prioritize clear communication with owners through updates and photos so you always feel at ease.

I was so grateful to find Simone over the holidays, and even more relieved to learn she had already met my dog through her previous sitter (who was her sister). Such a small world! Simone and her family are wonderful, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt confident knowing my pup was in great hands, and she had an excellent time. Highly recommend!

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

Danielle was fantastic with my 7-month-old Bullmastiff, Nyx, who was still healing from her spay. She’s clearly experienced, truly cares about the dogs she watches, and her dog training background was a big plus—she even made sure Nyx was calm and settled before releasing her to me. I loved getting regular updates and pictures, and it was obvious Nyx was happy, safe, and well cared for. Danielle went above and beyond, even washing and drying Nyx’s bed after an overnight accident. She was also prepared to handle meds if needed, which gave me peace of mind. I’ll absolutely book with Danielle again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who combines skill, heart, and professionalism.

Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! You will never have to worry about your fur baby being well-taken care of while Jessica watches them. She is excellent about sending the cutest photos/captions and updates. I could tell that Bella was relaxed and comfortable throughout her time there. Highly, highly recommended!
