“Barbara was amazing with my dog and super flexible with my boarding dates and pickup and dropoff times- even when I changed things last minute.

“Tonya and her family were great with Moxie. She is an anxious girl, and they were patient with her and allowed her to be herself, but also were patient with Mox to come to them. Would definitely have Tonya watch my baby again!”


“Stephen was wonderful when I needed someone to watch Ruri last minute. He responded quickly, remained communicative, and went out of his way to make it possible for me to bring Ruri by same-night.

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

“Deidre is an amazing person and a fantastic sitter for my beloved fur babies! She is responsive and totally respectful of the boundaries I’ve set for my animals ( ie no table scraps etc) . Deidre is so kind, my cats love her !!! In the week I was away she came over twice a day to feed, water, play and pet my kitties. She even scooped the litter without being asked . I got daily communications and pictures! I was at completely at ease knowing that they had the care and attention they needed when I wasn’t there. I would highly recommend Deidre! I’ll definitely be calling her first the next time I leave town”
