“I can’t say enough great things about Tara and Justin! They took such amazing care of my two girls while I was away. Tara is incredibly compassionate and experienced—she made sure my dogs felt comfortable and right at home from the start, giving them the time they needed to adjust to a new environment. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my girls were happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. Tara and Justin truly care about the pets they watch and go above and beyond to treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“Morgan is an amazing dog sitter! It’s so nice to have someone that spends their life taking care of dogs watching over your fur kids and not someone just trying to fit the dogs into their life. As happy as my dogs were to see us, we think they were sad to leave Morgan’s house and the new buddies they met and played with!! We highly recommend Morgan!!”
“Will 100% be using Marcela again! And recommending her to my friends with dogs. Waylon came back so happy and tired. Had a lot of fun running with the other dogs on property! She sent plenty of videos and pictures too!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Great place for pups! My dogs had a great time with Cindy and Steve. They have a large yard with lots of shade and their dog Maple is so sweet and was a great playmate for my pups!”
“You won't find a better pet sitter than Linda and her husband Brian. They are devoted to their sweet girl Carmi, who plays so well with any dog they bring into their home. I have no worries when I leave Hank, other than she will be booked the next time I need her. 😍♥️”
“Mocha had a great time, and was obviously well cared for and loved while she was with Thelma and Gary! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to leave their beloved furbaby in their care!”
“Floyd and Connie took great care of our Bella. She looked very happy in all the photos they sent and made sure she had her medications. I would not hesitate to leave Bella with them again.”
“We have had our border collie Willow in daycare/boarding since we moved to the US in February from the UK and I have never really been happy with it. We decided to take a chance on Lori & Jim after seeing the fantastic review and it’s fair to say we were not disappointed. They were great doing a meet and great when I first reached out to them and wanted to get to know all about Willow’s. I felt really comfortable dropping her off there and Willow was really excited to be there too. Lori sent multiple updates a day and Willow had the best time. I’m so pleased we have found somewhere she loves to go and we can trust to look after our baby. Thank you both for providing a home from home for our Willow 🐾”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Merve took great care of both of our Maltipoos, including our puppy! She was so attentive and they both came back home exhausted annd happy after playing with Merve’s family and her dog. We would highly recommend Merve to care for your pets!!”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”

“Jill has watched my two cats multiple times and is the absolute best! She leaves a detailed daily report of her visits and is sure to share plenty of photos. My mind is at ease when I’m away, knowing the cats are taken care of and in good hands. Can’t recommend Jill enough!”
“I can't say enough great things about Channing! She took such incredible care of my cat, Fergus, while I was away on vacation. I could truly relax knowing he was in the best hands.

About: Your dog will be given lots of attention and love. I treat all dogs as a part of the family, like "furry children." I find that dogs tend to feel most comfortable in their home environment with a caring human to keep them company. Feed, water, walk, exercise time, play time, medication as needed, and companionship time are included. Feel free to contact me to discuss you and your furry friend's needs while you're gone. I've had dogs of my own my whole life, and I love them just like family. My experience administering medication Yes, very comfortable.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. Over the years, I’ve watched many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, and they always know they can count on me. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and happy while their owner is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time hairdresser, but my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around it to fit your pet’s needs!

I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment at all times. 🐶💛
“Filip was a great cat/house sitter!!! We came home to our cat not being that excited to see us, which means he had a good week and got lots of love while we were gone <3. We really appreciate Filip's willingness to watch our cat at the last minute, it saved our vacation! We will definitely be booking Filip again.”
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”
About: I have volunteered with animals since I was 10 years old. I have been a cat owner for the past 6 years. I am familiar with medicating difficult kitties. I give my cat allergy medication daily. I have also administered antibiotics and anti anxiety medication. I love animals and I do all that I can to make the miss you a little less while you are away!
About: Hello let me start off by introducing myself, my name is Brittany I am a mother of 2 children , we have 2 dogs . I am mostly a stay at home mom and work a few nights a week as a waitress to make ends meet . So I have lots of free time in between to help take care of your pets. I worked in a vet's office for a little over 2 years so I have experience with giving medications,walking, bathing, sick animals, and we worked with all different kinds of pets even monkeys 😁 I have a love for animals and wish I could have a few more of my own, this is one way for me to have that extra pets I would like without upsetting my husband lol
“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”
About: Having Lake Champlain in my back yard is a huge advantage on these hot summer days! If your dog doesn`t like to swim, we can play catch in the fenced-in yard while enjoying the lake`s breeze. Living on a private, dead end road helps provide a great dog-walking environment. Having a pup of my own who is extremely dog-friendly, gives your dog a playmate to accompany their exercise if wanted. Living just outside of Burlington allows access to many walking paths such as; the bike paths, waterfront, airport park, and the causeway. These locations are more social and get dogs out of their everyday environment to make for a more enjoyable experience. Don`t want anything fancy? Coming to your home is just as fine with me! My open schedule allows me to be flexible, so let me know how I can help you best!

“Morgan is excellent! She knows what she's doing and took great care of my pup. She made sure he got plenty of the exercise and got out some of that puppy energy! I hope to book with her regularly, when I'm in the area.”
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.
“Onyx had a great time staying with Marcela. Great property for him to have the opportunity to run and then a comfy couch to chill. Marcela gave Onyx many cuddles. Onyx can’t wait to come back!”

“Teddy played all day with Leslie. She sent many pictures and videos for updates. She checked off the list of Teddy's needs and followed up on all of them. We could tell that she was totally dedicated to Teddy for the entire day! Teddy transitioned home perfectly. Thank You, Leslie!”
About: Hi! We’re Jeff and Steph. I work from home full-time, and Steph is a teacher with summers and holidays off, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care. We provide a calm, structured home environment and tend to do best with hypoallergenic or low-shedding dogs. We’ve had dogs for years and are very comfortable managing multiple dogs in a home setting. We currently have two doodles, Rudy and Carolina, and are used to reading dog behavior, introducing dogs slowly, and keeping a calm, structured environment. We focus on routines, supervision, and making sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable during their stay. We’ve also hosted dogs for friends and family and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their dog in a safe, reliable home. Pet care fits very naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Steph is a teacher and has summers and holidays off, which gives us even more flexibility and coverage during busy travel times. Between the two of us, dogs are rarely left alone and are part of a steady, predictable routine that helps them feel comfortable and at ease. We provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment. I work from home, so dogs receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all dogs are introduced slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. We only take a small number of dogs at a time to keep things low-stress and manageable. We follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel at home.
About: My wife, Ella and I homeschool our 4 kids and I work from home. We all absolutely LOVE dogs, but due to allergies, we only take non-shedding dogs (doodle mixes, hypoallergenic breeds etc)... We have a friendly, couch-potato bernedoodle that would love to play with your dog, and our kids spend their free time loving and playing with dogs. If you want your pet to have fully supervised fun, be loved to bits and sleep soundly, this is the place to be :) We have a reverse osmosis water system installed in our home so our furry guests receive crystal clear, healthy, delicious drinking water! I work from home and my wife homeschools our children (ages 6-14). We are both home full time and have very flexible schedules. Our Bernedoodle is docile and very friendly. We live in a family friendly neighborhood, great for walks and we have a half an acre for our dog and kids to run and play. We have a large screened in lanai and a huge backyard. Living at the end of a cul-de-sac street, we rarely have vehicles go by.
“I have a very nervous little dachshund; Kelli went above and beyond to make him feel safe and secure. Communications were great, too! Will definitely book again with Kelli.”
About: My wife and I have had dogs since we were kids and treat them just like any member of the family. We believe dogs were made to be cuddled and spoiled as much as possible :) My wife and I both work from home and our jobs are extremely flexible. We have lots of time to play and let your puppy outside to use the restroom and chase butterflies. We can crate your puppy if you want, but our preferred choice is to give your puppy the freedom to roam the house and hang with us on the couch. We have a great fenced in yard that will ensure your dog is safe when going outside to use the restroom.
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“Amy and her daughters were so great with our energetic puppy!! She got all her energy out in the few hours they were together. They went to the dog park, and let our puppy go to town in their pool (which is her happy place)!! Will 200% be scheduling a bunch more play dates!”

About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
“Larissa is so gentle and kind with my puppy and she was very responsible with my high energy furr-baby. I'm so glad I found her and I would definitely recommend her for reliable and compassionate dog care.”
“Wonderful day care experience. We are getting ready to board Bingo for the first time later this week and because he had never been boarded, we wanted to get him used to being without us and his upcoming stay with Floyd and Connie. After bonding with him, they sent us some great photos of which immediately put my mind at ease. Bingo seemed happy and not at all fearful, as we thought he’d be. I’m sure the time he will be staying with them will be a good one.”

About: I've always had animals in my life, and I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was little. I also volunteered with a service dog training organization and at my local SPCA, so I'm comfortable around all kinds of pets and personalities. As a UNC–Chapel Hill student, I don't get to be around animals as much as I'd like during the school year, so I genuinely love spending time with them whenever I can.

I also understand that every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks, or routines. I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable and confident while they're in my care.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I had a lab for 14 years and now have a Pomeranian/shih-tzu mix. I have been watching a pitbull for about two years now who needs medication two times a day, so I have no issues with giving medications. I have no problem watching big, medium, or small dogs because I have done a mix of all sizes. I had two cats growing up and have sat cats a few times. I love animals so much and I would love to be a sitter for you! I am a full time student, living at home, so my schedule is very open. I would like a weeks notice just so I can confirm that I am available. With an open schedule, I do not mind hanging out at the house all day or overnight. I do not mind crating your pet. I do not mind taking them on walks either.
About: I have had a total of four dogs my whole life, including two labs, a German Shepherd, and currently, a Belgian Malinois. I also have past work with dogs of all sizes at a dog bakery and grooming facility, and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time for drop in visits. My availability does vary by week depending on my work schedule but I am typically available no less than four days a week. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, so whether it is going into your house to feed them, taking them outside, or playing with them, I am very comfortable.

Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.

I am currently working full time at a hospital which consists of 3 days a week. The rest of the week is for taking care of fur babies! I am willing to work with you on the location weather it is my house or yours I will respect all boundaries and rules that are set in place!
About: I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾 Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.
About: I am a lifelong dog owner. I recently rescued a four legged friend myself which makes me a proud dog mom. I am trusted and relied on by friends, family, and customers to dog sit, walk their dog, and give their fur babies as much love an attention as they need while their owners are away. I am able to follow a strict diet and medication time for those puppies who need it. I am also an active outdoors women for those who just want a little exercise. Your pet is my priority. I currently work part time. The days I am most available are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Monday through Thursdays I am available before 8am and after 5pm. I currently have two dogs. One is a medium size dog who is an absolute sweetheart. A little timid but very mellow. The other one is a hyper little one. I have been dog sitting for the last 5 years. Taking care of multiple dogs at a time. One dog is a professional show dog who required strict exercise, feeding schedule, medicine, and attention. I am very good with all dogs big or small.
About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.
About: Patient and compassionate caretaker of animals of all ages and sizes. Owner of 5 animals who frequently fosters, and feeds animals throughout the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. As an Orchestral musician, my day time schedule is pretty flexible. Since my job is primarily focused on personal preparation, i can choose when I work. I don't offer services out of my house because my dogs can be a little slow to trust, but have years of experience walking and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes.
“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Tara and Justin! They took such amazing care of my two girls while I was away. Tara is incredibly compassionate and experienced—she made sure my dogs felt comfortable and right at home from the start, giving them the time they needed to adjust to a new environment. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my girls were happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. Tara and Justin truly care about the pets they watch and go above and beyond to treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”
“Morgan is an amazing dog sitter! It’s so nice to have someone that spends their life taking care of dogs watching over your fur kids and not someone just trying to fit the dogs into their life. As happy as my dogs were to see us, we think they were sad to leave Morgan’s house and the new buddies they met and played with!! We highly recommend Morgan!!”
“Will 100% be using Marcela again! And recommending her to my friends with dogs. Waylon came back so happy and tired. Had a lot of fun running with the other dogs on property! She sent plenty of videos and pictures too!”
“Great place for pups! My dogs had a great time with Cindy and Steve. They have a large yard with lots of shade and their dog Maple is so sweet and was a great playmate for my pups!”
“We have had our border collie Willow in daycare/boarding since we moved to the US in February from the UK and I have never really been happy with it. We decided to take a chance on Lori & Jim after seeing the fantastic review and it’s fair to say we were not disappointed. They were great doing a meet and great when I first reached out to them and wanted to get to know all about Willow’s. I felt really comfortable dropping her off there and Willow was really excited to be there too. Lori sent multiple updates a day and Willow had the best time. I’m so pleased we have found somewhere she loves to go and we can trust to look after our baby. Thank you both for providing a home from home for our Willow 🐾”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kendal and Demardre went out of their way to be flexible and understanding when I had to cancel last minute because of an emergency. Our meet and greet beforehand made me feel truly at ease, and Clifford was instantly comfortable and happy. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out, and I’m looking forward to booking with them again soon!”
“Excellent boarding experience. Marlena was great with my dog who can be a bit much for some. Her stay was over Christmas and Marlena sent me plenty of videos and photos of my baby dressed in sweaters and hats opening presents. 10/10 would book again.”
“Kimber watched our dog tucker, she sent multiple videos and updates when we were away. She took great care of our dog and he came home tired from all the playing he did! Highly recommend!”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”
“Nevaeh was incredible taking care of our baby! She is so sweet, and took him on long walks and adventures. She was great at sending us pictures and updates! We trust he is in good hands and got all the love and attention of his dreams :)”
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“Both of my dogs came home happy and healthy! Sometimes, they are a bit to handle but Donna said they were good girls and very sweet. They had a big fenced yard and a large home to play in. I will definitely be calling Donna again.”
