“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”
“This entire process was new to us and we were worried about leaving our baby boy with an unknown stranger. Erin was willing to talk and answer any questions I had prior to dropping champ off. She's extremely kind and is the best dog sitter around. She took great care of champ and loved on him just like he was her own. Champ stayed with her for a whole week and throughout his stay she consistently sent pictures and he looked so happy and relaxed in her home. He became best friends with her little guy and they would cuddle at night together . Erin is fantastic and we will continue to use her anytime we go out of town.”

“I am always confident whenever my dog Blu stars with Tara. She constantly updates with photos and always asks the necessary questions. My dog came home smelling good, happy and wore out. Tara will always be my first choice for boarding because she goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my dog.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I love giving pets plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💕 Hi! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, caring, and would treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting! 💕 I have a nice-sized home and prefer pets who enjoy being indoors. Your pet will have their own comfortable space in my home, and you’re welcome to bring a crate or kennel if they’re more comfortable with their own setup. I can also provide their usual food if needed. I have two children, ages 2½ years and 7.5 pmonths. My older child is very mature and understands boundaries and directions. I’ll always gradually introduce her to your pet and only allow interaction if you’re comfortable with it. Otherwise, your pet can have plenty of quiet space downstairs with me. I also have safety gates on my stairs to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.
“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”
“This entire process was new to us and we were worried about leaving our baby boy with an unknown stranger. Erin was willing to talk and answer any questions I had prior to dropping champ off. She's extremely kind and is the best dog sitter around. She took great care of champ and loved on him just like he was her own. Champ stayed with her for a whole week and throughout his stay she consistently sent pictures and he looked so happy and relaxed in her home. He became best friends with her little guy and they would cuddle at night together . Erin is fantastic and we will continue to use her anytime we go out of town.”
