“Rachel is the absolute best and I would recommend her to friends and family. She is so kind and caring and goes the extra mile for dog and owner alike!”


2. Jess H.


“Jess was great. She really cares for my dogs and takes dog sitting seriously. One pup got messy she she gave him a bath. He was nice and clean at pick up time. She communicated well and was very responsive to feedback. Definitely hope to use Jess again.”


3. Kristen G.

“Greatly appreciated Kristen's 1) willingness to accommodate us when we needed daycare at the last minute, 2) her patience with and fondness for our super energetic 4-month old puppy, and 3) the pictures that gave us a glimpse of our boy's first time with the other dogs at her home. Each of these things made us feel more at ease. We will definitely request Kristen G. again.”


4. Samantha C.


“Samantha is awesome! You can tell how passionate she is about dogs and how interested she is in making sure Archie’s stay was great. He loves being there and learning how to be a good dog from Samantha and the rest of her pack. Samantha makes sure to work on socialization, commands and gives the pups great treats too. I especially appreciate all the pictures!”


5. Kathryn T.
“Kathy provided a wonderful loving home for our sweet Leia on two separate occasions. We were reluctant to take a trip without our dog because we knew we would miss her and Kathy sent frequent txts, videos, and updates about how our pup was doing to make us still feel connected to her. We couldn’t have asked for more supportive caretaker while we were gone. Our whole family was excited to share the videos and txts as they came in! The next time we left and Leia got to come back for a visit, she remembered all of her favorite spots right away and clearly remembered the welcoming environment and promptly fell asleep to cuddle and snuggle with Kathy right after I left. I now can book other vacations in confidence knowing Leia has a constant, reliable, loving home with Kathy!”


6. Lavina & Herbert S.

“I was so worried about finding a sitter when I moved back to Michigan but Lavina has been amazing! Bentley loves going there and she makes sure to communicate throughout the day! Bentley goes weekly and it has been a pleasure sending him there!”


7. Yvette B.

“Yvette was great! Goose seemed to get along great with her cute pup Eli, and Yvette’s big fenced backyard was great for the pups to play all afternoon! I love that she sent me updates on how Goose was doing. So glad to have found someone to love and care for Goose while we are away!”




8. Ron & Cherie S.

“We have been sending our pup to Ron and Cherie's for the last few months and can't recommend them enough to other furbaby owners. They have been so flexible with our work schedules and so understanding if we are running behind. I'm so happy to have found a reliable and such a loving family to watch over our pup =)”

About: Get $20 off your first stay with me with promo code LINDSO69427 Hello pet-lover! I am an experienced professional dog handler and trainer with space in my home to care for your family members who cannot accompany you while you're away. I am currently work a hybrid work schedule (some days I work from home, other days I am in the office); I have 5 years experience in a kennel environment and working with working/professional dogs, as well as dogs with behavioral issues; and training/showing/trialing my own companions - I have experience and titles with my dogs in obedience, agility, and nosework in both AKC and UKC and other venues. I focus on force-free training methods, while still making sure to ensure rules and boundaries in my household. As much as I love training, training is not offered as part of your stay. I currently work from home, and am able to let out frequently. Your pets will be treated like my own while they stay with me. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup who loves to meet new friends! I am set up for any scenario needed, and have crates for safety and feeding. If your dog isn't used to staying in a crate is reliable to be left alone, I have baby gates set up around the home to keep them out of places they shouldn't be.


12. Theresia C.


“I was pretty nervous as this was my first time dropping off my young male rescue with someone, but Theresia answered my questions and was very flexible, even letting me drop off a toy ahead of the meet & greet to do a scent exchange. Our first stay went well and I was so glad to hear her feedback!”


13. Leila H.
About: I've taken care of cats for 18 years now. Had one since I was little and taken care of three cats at once. I've walked and doggysit for many people over the years. Love taking care of animals. If I’m not looking for a new job, I’m spending my extra time providing pet care services. I truly appreciate the experience and love doing this. However, with house sitting requests during the week, I will normally be away for 4-5hrs in the morning doing dog walks and a few in the evenings. Make sure they have a clean place to eat and do their business (cats). We keep all harmful chemicals in safe areas that the pets can't get to.


14. Cody L.
“Cody is a true pet lover! He’s great at taking care of dogs and cats and goes above and beyond. He is trustworthy and loves to play with animals in addition to giving them the care they need. I highly recommend Cody for any pet sitting needs.”


15. Taj B.

“Taj is always such an amazing host. Naya loves to be at her house and with Abu! Whenever possible I use Taj for any dog sitting needs I have. So glad I found her!”


16. Meghan O.
“Meghan was so great to work with! She was very conscientious about making sure all the pets in her home were safe and that they all got along! She sent me regular updates and pictures of my dog, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. It was evident that my dog was well taken care of and received the attention and affection he needed. I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone in need of pet sitting services. It was a five-star experience all around!”


17. Robin L.
“Awesome with my dogs and was very accommodating for my 13 year German Shepherd who has a slurry of medicine needed morning and evening. I'd recommend Robin 100%.”


18. Maria F.
“Maria helped me out and took care of my dog when I needed to leave town in an emergency. She is an absolute lover of dogs and is super sweet! She came by my place with not much notice to see what the dog's routine was (daily feeding, walking, play) and even was took the dog to a vet appointment! I recommend Maria for any dog or pet caregiving needs!”


19. Elizabeth L.
About: My husband and I work from home and have very flexible schedules that allow us to be present with our pets during the day. There are no kids in the home during the day during the week. Typical day include walks around the neighborhood or nearby park, lounging or playing in the backyard or the dog park. Plenty of toys for chewers and plenty of space in our fenced yard to roam and play. I currently work from home as a technology sales rep. When I am not working, I’m entertaining both my toddler and pets. I often have a decent amount of free time and dog sitting has been a great outlet for my dog to socialize and get some fun in! For repeat pets, I have noticed a big difference after a few days of adjusting. Its important for pets to feel safe in whatever space they are in.


20. Zhane B.

“Zhane was great with Tobias. He's a handful. Zhane watched him for 4-5 hours and it was on Thanksgiving day. Cold, wet day and Zhane still got Tobias out for long walks. She really does love animals and someone we can all trust to watch our dogs. 5 Stars!”
