We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!

We had to go out of state last minute for a funeral and Travis and Danielle were able to keep Lex for me with not much notice. As always he loved being there and couldn’t stop shaking his tail once we got there! I’ve now left him with them four times (several days each time) and wouldn’t leave him anywhere else!

Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!

Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.

I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!

Kat was amazing with my two pups. Regular walks, regular pictures, updates, all the lovings to the fur babies.. you name it. I’m sure my pups will miss Kat and her mom. I’d highly recommend Kat to other dog parents and wish Kat and her mom good luck and good health. Thanks once again, Kat🙂

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, also caring for other people’s. Between my five children, I have 10 grand dogs, with weights ranging from 15 pounds to over 100. We are a very pet friendly family with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs! Each and everyone are not just our pets, but family, This is exactly how I treat other people’s fur babies in my care. I’m currently retired with a walking trail behind my house. I walk 6 to 7 miles a day and really enjoy it when I can have a fur baby along. I are home all day, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I let them up on our furniture and in my bed. I always treat them as family, just like all my own pets were treated. I have a large yard, so plenty of space to run. There’s a walking trail right behind our home. With permission, there are dog parks close by. Pets are welcome anywhere in my house. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 pounds to over 100, all loved just the same.

Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!
