About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 5 years, with a variety of small Shih Tzus and a Golden Retriever for my uncle. I really want to get started in the pet sitting business. Your pets will have 100% of my attention as this is my gap year before law school and I have a lot of free time to help take care of fur babies. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can play safely, and another small Shih Tzu that is friendly around other dogs. I try to walk dogs three times a day, and spend the rest of the time hanging out with them.
“Amazing as always. Amy is so flexible. I am in the middle of treatment and I feel like my brain is mush all the time. She is so kind when I am all over the place. Remi loves being there and is very well cared for.”
“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”
“I am so happy to leave a review for this experience. I could not have chosen a better placement for Bentley. I received constant updates from Tobi, along with pictures. He could not have better love and attention. If ever needed again, I will definitely chose Tobi and Mike!”
“Kana was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Boise! Over the course of two weeks Kana sent me photos and an update almost daily of Boise, they were wonderful! While hosting Boise for Christmas they even gave her a present and sent cute photos of her dressed up. Boise had a blast at their home and I’m so grateful to have a place for Boise to go when we are out of town.”
“Alyssa was so wonderful to work with. She is very personable and communicative about all of our dogs needs. I appreciated that she has a great set up for animals, clean, and warm hearted with our dog. I recommend her and would be happy to book her again.”
“Kelly was great with our little one, she frequently reached out to us with photos and videos, assuring us that she had settled into a routine and was comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kelly again. Thanks Kelly 🙏”
“Bobbi is seriously amazing. She sent photos and updates of my boys multiple times a day. Before the boys stayed with her she facilitated a very controlled meet and great, let me see where the boys would be staying and playing. It was so appreciated and I left knowing my boys were going to be in the best hands and totally spoiled. 10/10.”
“Sarah was AMAZING and super accommodating! She sent pictures and kept me updated the entire time. Her prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend her! And I will use again!”
“Tracy and Mike are true dog lovers. Walter couldn’t wait to get to the front door to start his day of great play with Mike and the others. Thank you for taking such good care of him and we will certainly be back”
“Lizzy was more amazing than I can put into words! She took such good care of Tommy and made me feel so comfortable by sending me lots of pics and updates. She took Tommy and her dogs to the dog park every day to get out energy. It felt like he was at summer camp! She even let Tommy sleep in the bed with her. I will definitely use her as my sitter from now on!”
“Lola had such a good stay with Heather! She came back so happy and made a new friend with Heather’s dog, Mac. We also received some photo updates which we loved to see how she was doing. Lola will definitely be back!”
“Darcia took such great care of our little Cheyenne! She updated us and shared photos frequently and was so easy to work with. Pick up and drop off were seamless and her whole family is so lovely! We definitely will rebook with her next time!”
“Janis did a great job of taking care of Hershey and was a real life saver for my family. We usually had a family friend take of Hershey, but they had to back out... unfortunately Hershey was never comfortable with kennel type boarding and at his age, it can be stressful to leave him in a new environment. It was especially worrisome since Hershey has arthritis and is slowly going blind, so he has some special needs and attention required. Janis was nice enough to let my dad and I check out their place last minute and meet with her, which made us feel more comfortable where he was staying. During his stay, she would send photos and constantly update me about his well-being. I also appreciated the extra care she took to separate Hershey from the bigger dogs when it seemed un-safe. He came back healthy and happy. I feel relived to know that there's another dog sitter in our town we can go to for Hershey. Thank you Janis!”
“Andrea was so good with our dog Emmy! Emmy loved her! It was such a relief to know Emmy was happy, safe and well taken care of while we traveled for the holidays! She provided regular updates with pictures and videos that helped me know Emmy was doing great! I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!!!”
“Dee Anne was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns, she's very easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to our dog during our meet and greet, and her home was clean and inviting, so I'm sure our dog felt very comfortable staying with her. When we picked up our dog she seemed happy and well cared for, so I would happily return to Dee Anne for future boardings!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”
“Thanks Sherry for taking such great care of my pet! She was incredibly responsible throughout the day care today. She always provides timely photo and videos and takes absolutely great care of Charli and she came home so happy that I highly recommended Sherry! Definitely will book Again!”

Tracy was such a fabulous sitter for our dog Cooper! He loves being around people and she and her husband made him feel right at home. We had a great vacation knowing he was in such good hands! Wonderful communication! Cooper would love to come stay again. :) Thank you so much Tracy!
Amazing and reliable. Super clean set up for our pups and always on top of updating and sending us videos which gave my family and I full confidence that our Mattis will be in good hands. Thank you Ethan and to your partner. So glad we found you and you accepted our last minute request. We truly appreciate you guys and I think Mattis found a second home when we're o it traveling if schedule is permitted 😁 I say MORE THAN 5 STARS!!!
My pup always has such a great time with Dee Anne! She loves and takes care of him like he's part of her family which I really appreciate. She stays active with my pup and gives him lots of play time and lots of cuddle time too. He's always so excited to go visit her and sad to leave. Looking forward to next time!
Jess and Vince are AMAZING! They went above and beyond to make sure Nova was happy and comfortable. We loved getting daily updates and pictures, it made being away so much easier. Their backyard was a dream for fetch and playtime, and they even walked her every day. Nova was spoiled with love and attention and felt right at home. Bonus points for only taking one dog at a time, which was perfect for our puppy. We’ll definitely book with them again!
Another great stay for Simba and Rory! Rory fell in love with Austin and his family - she was so conflicted when I came to get them, she wanted to come with me but she also wanted to stay, she kept running back and forth! Thank you for taking such good care of my pups!
Cade was such an amazing sitter for our girl Winnie! He was very communicative, sent lots of updates and photos, and Winnie came home happy and exhausted from playing with Cade’s dog Georgie. We’ll definitely have him watch Winnie again the first chance we get. Thanks again, Cade ❤️
Walter loves play-dates and sleepovers with Gracie. I think he secretly likes how aggressive she is with her affection towards him. lol. In all seriousness. We love being able to have Walter in Lauren’s(and Dan too!) care. Appreciate the photo/text updates and that Walter is treated like family while he is there.
Haley cared for my dog as if it were her own. My dog was not 100% herself when we dropped her off and left for family vacation. Things got worse and the following day Haley took my dog to the hospital and then picked her up the following day. With treatment and excellent care, my dog was back to normal after a couple days. Haley kept us updated and was fantastic throughout. My family and I are so grateful to her. She’s the best! ❤️
