“Kelly is a complete life-saver. My family has had a vacation planned for almost a year. The day before we left, I reached out to the dog sitter (NOT KELLY) and was ghosted. She never responded or replied. At 9pm, the night before my vacation, with a departure time of 8am, I was in a panic. Kelly was very quick to respond, she answered all my questions and even worked with me to find a way to get our pup to her since we were leaving too early to drop them off. While our dog was there, Kelly sent constant updates and photos. Her and her husband truly enjoyed watching my dog and it made me so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She has a large fence in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and her dog River is an absolute sweetheart! My dog was EXHAUSTED for days after because she had so much fun at Kelly's. I truly can not recommend her enough. She is 100% my go to for doggie care now! Thank you for everything Kelly!”
“Thank you so much to Ms. Anika! She is the best! She has been watching our furbaby for about 4 years now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Her love and care allowed us to have a 9 day worry free family vacation❤️”
“I can tell Breeze had a blast with his daily walks and play time. Would definitely recommend Beauty. She is flexible, very responsive, and made my weekend get away convenient.”
“Kelly and Maurice are more than awesome. I know that Zuri will be well care for and loved when I have to leave town. They treat her like family. They send videos and pics for reassurance that things are going well. I appreciate their professionalism and true dedication. They implemented some changes for their customers based on what they observed from my experience with them. That is more than customer service, that’s customer satisfaction. They are an A1 service all the way around.”
“Latte had a great stay with Monica and her fur babies. This was the first time we left our pet. She has a good process for drop off and getting to know our dog, understanding her needs, feeding, etc. and meeting other dogs. She was very attentive and made sure to communicate and send several pictures each day. We were excited to get our puppy mail and see how Latte was doing. She took great care of our baby. I hope to use her again if I have boarding needs in the future.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“Dee, is a great caretaker for Jax. She’s always willing to assist. She takes great care of him monitoring his eating and taking him on walks. Dee keeps us informed and constantly communicates with us while Jax is in her care.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Vanessa and Giovanni were amazing hosts for my dog, Oakley! They were very thorough in ensuring that she and their family were going to be a good match before the sitting, and I’m very glad they were! We got videos each day detailing how Oakley was doing and she came back so happy and well taken care of. If you love your pet as family, Vanessa and Giovanni are going to treat your baby as such. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”
“Dana is awesome. She attended to my fur babies as if they were own. She sent me updates and videos everyday, twice a day. My furbabies definitely enjoyed themselves! I will definitely be rebooking in the future and sending others her way!”

“Amber was great. She gave me a time that would work for her because she couldn’t do my time and turns out that worked too. I’m a dummy and thought I updated my address so it sent her to the wrong house and she still went to my right address to leave the pups out. Luna and Kallie look like they had a great time and can definitely trust her with my girls!”
“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”
“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“Aleyah was good with our two senior cats. She was always prompt and made a point to come by before her first visit to meet them. She is always super prompt with communication and scheduling.”
“Kendal was very prompt and made sure to give my animals plenty of attention. She also communicated with me of there were any issues. Highly recommend and will be requesting her services in the future.”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“Thank you Vanessa for taking such great care of all of our kitties! I’m sure they will miss you. Great with the cats and made sure they were taken care of while we were away. Prompt with visits and sent lots of pics to us. ♥️ Definitely will use again!”
“Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.”
About: I have had cats my entire life. Growing up on a farm we had outdoor cats running around. As an adult I have had 7 cats inside my home over the years.

Currently living with me Rocky (17yrs old polydactyl) Simba (7yrs old) Gracie (2yrs old) Penny (2yrs old) and Bella (1 yr old)
“Sam is the best! They actually spend time at the house when they do drop ins and play with our pets. We have used them twice and the first time was very last minute and they were able to accommodate us. We trust them 100%. We highly recommend Sam!”
“Trisha was great and I would absolutely recommend!!! She took care of our 3 indoor cats and 1 outdoor cat while we were out of town for almost a week. 2 of them are seniors, 1 of which has kidney disease, so I worry about leaving them. I received pictures of the cats twice a day and the litter boxes were so clean when we got home. I feel relieved knowing we have someone like Trisha to care for our kitties when we have to go away!”

In addition to my pets, I am a grandmother of six and love, taking care of pets and babies. I am also trained in mental health first aid and in crisis peer support so I take safety very seriously.
“La Tasha was wonderful. My PJ who has never been boarded was comfortable and didn't want to leave. She kept me updated on his day, and I appreciated that so much. Will use La Tasha again. It's great to know my furbaby was well taken care of.”
“Lillian and her family are truly a blessing. We definitely will be using their services again. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving environment for our Hazel. Our little Hazel ran to the door every morning she stayed there! Very prompt with any questions we had before and during Hazel's care. Very understanding when I was running late. They were the perfect choice and we were blessed to have found them.”

“I only have great things to say about Linda! She has been incredibly helpful and has gone above and beyond. She is incredibly flexible, has come to walk my dogs at various hours of the day (late evenings sometimes too, which has been great!), and has been available on short notice as well. I have 3 dogs, of which, two have health issues. One has had recent ortho surgery and requires a lot of assistance/medication. The other has heart/blood pressure issues and requires medication/supervision as well. The third does not have health issues, but has behavioral issues and is very stand offish. Despite this, Linda has not only taken great care of them, but the dogs love her! She has also brought in my trash cans, my mail, and picks up dirty dog food bowls to soak in the sink while I am away. She always keeps me updated with detailed messages and photos. She is gentle and great with the animals. I trust her 100% and that is saying a lot as I am VERY particular when it comes to my babies!”
“Morgan took great care of my dog Jag. His communication with me was fantastic, he took photos, provided me with updates, and looked after him very well. Morgan was good enough to stop by to do a meet and greet with my dog to make sure that they got along before watching him, which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend Morgan!!”

“Kelly is a complete life-saver. My family has had a vacation planned for almost a year. The day before we left, I reached out to the dog sitter (NOT KELLY) and was ghosted. She never responded or replied. At 9pm, the night before my vacation, with a departure time of 8am, I was in a panic. Kelly was very quick to respond, she answered all my questions and even worked with me to find a way to get our pup to her since we were leaving too early to drop them off. While our dog was there, Kelly sent constant updates and photos. Her and her husband truly enjoyed watching my dog and it made me so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She has a large fence in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and her dog River is an absolute sweetheart! My dog was EXHAUSTED for days after because she had so much fun at Kelly's. I truly can not recommend her enough. She is 100% my go to for doggie care now! Thank you for everything Kelly!”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“Megan was amazing! This was our first time having her board our dog and we were so impressed. She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday. We really felt like she welcomed our dog into her home and cared for him like he was her own. We will definitely be using Megan in the future and have already reccomended her to our friends and family.”
“Dee, is a great caretaker for Jax. She’s always willing to assist. She takes great care of him monitoring his eating and taking him on walks. Dee keeps us informed and constantly communicates with us while Jax is in her care.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Vanessa and Giovanni were amazing hosts for my dog, Oakley! They were very thorough in ensuring that she and their family were going to be a good match before the sitting, and I’m very glad they were! We got videos each day detailing how Oakley was doing and she came back so happy and well taken care of. If you love your pet as family, Vanessa and Giovanni are going to treat your baby as such. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“Brian and Carly treat my little guy like family. I am so greatful for the love and care my little guy receives. They are simply wonderful and I’m do happy I found them.”
“Lashelle was a great person to watch over my dog. She provided me with daily updates and pictures of his visit. Through updates, I was able to view the love and care given to my dog while I was away. I will definitely seek to work with her again.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”
“Jackalyn was awesome. I was really anxious but she gave me peace of mind. Sent daily updates and pics which helped me out since I knew everything was good with Yuki while I was gone! Would absolutely recommend her.”
