“Meeka had a great time staying with Julia and her pups! Communication was excellent, and we received several photos and updates during her stay that were so reassuring. We’ll definitely use Julia again while we’re in the area!”
“Jason and his family are amazing! They are caring and diligent and you can tell they really love dogs! The hardest part of going out of town is finding good care for our dogs, thankfully Jason has solved that problem! They took time to give us updates and pictures through the stay so we knew they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them!!”
“Jamie was very kind and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them and kept us updated while we were gone. They liked her and had a great time. We would definitely come back again.”
“Emily was amazing. Incredibly flexible and accomodating. Booked her last minute and she made it very smooth and effortless. Our puppy, Frankie, was clearly well cared for and snuggled. She responded quickly to any questions or messages and sent us pictures during our quick trip out of town. She gave us complete peace of mind. Thanks Emily!”
“Melinda was great with my dogs. She has a huge back yard that they can run in. She loved on them everyday. She played with them and let them sleep in the bed. She has a dog door where my pups could go in and out as they wished. She has plenty of toys for the dogs to play with and even bought them some new ones while they were with her. She would play fetch with them everyday. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. My dogs were treated like royalty when they were with Melinda. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jean was amazing! I have a high-energy Goldendoodle, and she was great with her. She kept me updated with photos where my pup was either playing with other dogs or happily doing her own thing. I felt totally at ease the whole time knowing she was in such good hands. Great communication, super thoughtful care!”
“Tori and Malik were great! The first picture posted let me know Bonnie was very comfortable. They had a beautiful area to walk her and I could tell she was having a great time. So appreciative of their caring and loving feelings toward my Bon! A million thanks.”
“Because my doggo has pretty high anxiety, I was nervous to leave him overnight. But Stephen made it really easy by sending pictures/videos and updating me throughout my pups stay. I also loved that Stephen has a fenced in yard that my pup could enjoy the nice weather in. Stephen was incredibly patient with my nervous pup and it was greatly appreciated!”
“Amy and Aaron watched my two dogs over the weekend. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will certainly be using them again. They were very loving, kind, and patient with my dogs. They took the time to really help my 11 month old pup that was struggling being left at someone's house for the first time. They went above and beyond simply meeting each dog's needs. You can tell they are true animal lovers with good hearts. They were very flexible with us regarding pickup and dropoff. They also sent several pictures and updates which I appreciated. Their dog, Bella, was an absolute sweetheart and a perfect playmate.”

“This is the second time Kayla has sat for us and once again she went above and beyond for our pets! She is very caring, great with communicating with us, and we couldn't be happier.”
“Mallory did a great job with my kitten! Her communication was fantastic throughout the whole week and she answered any questions in a timely manner. My cat seemed to have lots of fun with her during the week.”
About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.
About: I have had cats all my life growing up! It is one of the one animals always around in our house or outside. I am very in tune with what a cats body language means and how to care for them. And yes- I can change a litter box and serve wet food! The smells do not bother me one bit.
