“I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to experience Rachel as our dog sitter. She communicated well throughout her stay with pictures as well. She was so friendly and reliable which made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”
“We had a last minute change of Christmas plans and were so grateful that Angela was available over the holiday! She was so helpful and sent pics every day to let us know our pup was having so much fun with hers. It was our first time leaving our Maya with anyone and we felt assured that she was being well taken care of! We will definitely use Angela again in the future!”

About: I had to put down my 10 year old lab this winter. I miss having dog, but thought this would be a great way to spoil your dog and have a dog in the house again. I'm not ready for another pet just yet. I will be in charge, as I work from home. Promise lots of walks, private beach if your dog enjoys that and lots of attention. No puppies (can discuss if housebroken) and can provide for senior dogs if needs are reasonable. Thank you! I primarily work from home so your dog will never be left alone for long. I am writer, so I sit at my desk quite a bit. However, those hikes in the woods or walks around the neighborhood are necessary. I would love to have your dog join me. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. I walk, feed and give plenty of attention. You tell me the rest. I miss having our own dog and would love to take care of yours. It's not a good time to get another dog, but I know how to love and care for yours. I work from home and will handle the care of your dog.
“Daniel took excellent care of our collie Emma. He gave us daily updates. We particularly liked the fact that he took her (and his own two dogs) for walks multiple times daily. Will definitely use his services again!”
“Nikki and family did an excellent job taking care of Charlie. They were nice enough to meet up before Charlie’s stay, and they provided updates throughout his stay too. I hope they have Charlie back in the future as well.”
“Wendy was fantastic! Lilah loved her so much that she didn’t even want to leave. We appreciated the communication about how she was doing and the daily photos. We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Beautiful backyard with a puppy cool down pool, lots of space to run under shaded trees. Stephanie & Scott sent pics & videos of puppy playtime & them sleeping together. Very kind humans!”

Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.
I used Jared to watch my precious Levi (Australian Shepard) for an overnight stay in the hospital, .4 miles away. Very friendly to Levi and I upon meeting. He provided a safe and loving home with spacious yard. Communication was exceptional along with photos which eased my mind while I was away.
Danielle was quick with a response when I requested a booking, flexible with pick up and drop off times, and took such great care of our boy! Maverick was all smiles in the photos she sent. She has two playful good dogs. She took my dog for walks with them. I would definitely use her again!
