“Molly was wonderful throughout our pup’s six-day boarding stay. Our 10-year-old pup has several health ailments and Molly was incredibly attentive to her needs and overall well-being. The daily photos and updates kept us completely at ease during our vacation. We highly recommend Molly!”
“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”

“Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.”
“I had to board our newly adopted dog (we had him a little over a month) with Heather for a week. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she provides! He was treated like family. We had frequent updates and when he had a brief behavior issue (growling), she let me know right away. He settled in and was a happy, healthy dog when I returned. She was amazing!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

Brittany is phenomenal with my mini Aussie, Vivo! She is always available to care for him, and even last minute bookings which I have a habit of doing. Vivo gets so excited every time we pull up to the house and I can tell he is super comfortable being there. I’ve booked many times & will continue to do so!
Dylan was a true God send in accepting my last minute booking. So flexible and understanding during the entire stay. My pup normally won’t eat for anyone when I’m away and she ate full bowls of food both nights so I know she was having the best time! His pups are so friendly and Dylan is attentive, caring and kind to all the dogs. He sent me videos and pictures of Patch while I was away and kept me updated without any prompting. Very appreciative to find such a great sitter on short notice.
Our two poodles had a wonderful stay! She was caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them for the day. They came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Keana helped my boyfriend and me when we were in a bind. A sitter canceled last minute before a trip we were taking, and I reached out to Keana feeling unsure and worried the same thing would happen again. She gave us the reassurance we needed right away. She took great care of our boys and kept us updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and messages. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Wonderful care & attention to my sweet older dog! Very responsive and thoughtful with texts and photos!! I felt assured all the love and care was taken with Allie and appreciated your ability to adjust and administer extra care with medication and ointment. Thank you Alyssa!!
Mckayla was absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of our dog Ivy, especially being given short notice. Mckayla’s dog and our dogIvy hit it off and snuggled and played well together. Ivy received lots of walks, snuggles, and was well loved. Thank you again Mckayla for being amazing! Will definitely book again with you:D
Jennifer was great! She’s very knowledgeable which made us feel more comfortable leaving our pup for the weekend. Reign seems to have had a great time and learned something new! We would absolutely recommend booking with Jennifer, we will likely be repeat customers. :)
