“I left my golden retriever with Briana for the weekend. She provided pictures, updates, and my dog was happy as can be during pickup. He played great with her dog and I will definitely use her again.”
“When I picked up Rocky at the end of our visit, he was calm and happy and not particularly excited to see me. This is the highest possible praise for Nicole. Normally my dog is an anxious mess after not seeing me for even a few hours, so he must have felt safe and been extremely well cared-for. Pick up and drop off were seamless, Nicole sent just enough pictures and updates. I highly recommend her.”
“Hope is a wonderful person and sitter! She was very kind to our little four-legged friend, Bean. She was also very quick to respond to any question we had during the sitting. It was a great experience and I'm sure Bean feels the same way. You can really tell she cares about each and every animal in her care. We couldn't be more pleased with Hope. Thank you Hope!!!”
“Pepper stayed with Laura for 3 nights while we went away. We felt at ease leaving her, knowing she would be well taken care of. We were not wrong. When we went to pick her up I could tell she had made a new friend and was comfortable with Laura. I am so thankful we picked Laura to take care of Pepper.❤️”
“Ericca was so lovely and accommodating to our timing. She is a pro and has her routine down for how best to make dogs feel comfortable, introduce them to her dogs. Our dog looked happy when we picked her up and even gave her a sweet goodbye out the window.”
“Haley was fantastic! She was ready for us when we arrived and for pick up. She sent us pictures and updates and we just loved that. Our little guy seemed happy and cared for when we picked him up. He really enjoys other dogs as he is an "only dog" at our house. We definitely be using Halyley again, 5 stars!”
“Bear seems like he had such a great time with Christine and Lily!! We got lots of pictures and updates which put us at ease that he was having tons of fun! He will be going back very soon! Christine is so responsive and easy to talk to - we are so glad we connected with her!”
“Letícia took excellent care of our dog for five nights while we were away. She sent many wonderful photos and videos of Jojo playing, running and looking so happy that it made it easier for us to enjoy our vacation.”
“Romeo seemed to have a good stay overnight with Elijah, Carson and their dogs and cats. I received photos and updates and Romeo seemed very tuckered out when he got home so I think he probably had lots of stimulation and fun. Thank you! We will be back!”
“Mike and Laura were the absolute perfect fit for our little rescue chihuahua, Topo, who needs some specific care and management. We felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving him with them while we were on holiday and our dog came back even more relaxed and happy then when we dropped him off. Very communicative and they clearly showed our dog all the love and care and walks we could have asked for. Thank you! Topo is looking forward to coming back.”
“Richard and Hope took great care of Betty; lots of outdoor time and playing with children. They obviously LOVE dogs and make them part of their family! If I’m back in their ar3a, Betty is definitely staying with them again!”
“My pups had so much fun with Kaitlin and her son! The communication was prompt from the onset of booking our appointment and it was easy to coordinate drop off and get updates throughout their stay. Kaitlin made sure the pups got lots of time outside and they looked cozy cuddled up in her home. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.
“Laura was absolutely fantastic- I wish I could give her more stars!! Right from the minute I met her, I could tell that she was going to provide excellent care for Frankie, who can be a bit anxious when transitioning to new settings. He honestly had the time of his life staying with her and she made sure to do all of his favorite things like taking walks, meeting an adorable new dog friend, zoomies, and squeaky toys. She was super communicative and responsive and I never worried that he wasn't ok, which is so great as this was my first time leaving him with a dog sitter.”
“Danielle looked after our dog for a few days while we travelled. Without hesitation, I would recommend her and gladly use her services again. Danielle has a kind, positive nature. She was accommodating and our dog took to her immediately. She kept us updated, gave him lots of exercise and attention, and has a lovely location for a dog to have a holiday of their own. 5+ stars! Thanks Danielle.”
