“Rachel and family provided exceptional care for Riley on his first visit. She asked good questions to understand both his needs and personality. She provided a meeting/introduction so that I would be comfortable with his environment and he wouldn't be dropped off in a strange setting. During his stay the family provided reassure to an anxious pup as well as his owners. I would highly recommend Rachel and look forward to using her home in the future.”

“Solitaire is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She truly took my dog and made her a part of her family while I was away. I had 100% peace of mind that she was being loved and well cared for. She updated with messages and pictures to keep me informed. I highly recommend Solitaire for caring for your pet. She is absolutely wonderful!”

“Vanessa was fantastic with Twig and Lily. This was only the third time we've left them anywhere since we brought them home, and the first time using Rover, so I was so nervous they'd be miserable and anxiety-ridden bark monsters the whole weekend. I am so pleased with how she and her family treated and cared for our dogs. Vanessa sent pictures and kept open communication with me, which was SO reassuring. As it turns out, my nervous little dogs had a great time! I can't say enough nice things about our experience!”

Danielle K.

“We met Mary and her husband before we left our dog, Katie, with them. They are very nice, friendly people, and Mary is especially knowledgeable about dogs, first aid, etc. This made us feel comfortable leaving our nervous dog with them. They have 3 adorable dogs and a beautiful cat, and Mary introduced each dog to ours separately, so Katie wouldn't get too overwhelmed. Mary sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We feel that Katie was well taken care of, and wouldn't hesitate to bring her here again!”

About: I grew up around a variety of different animals and adored each and every one of them. From the time I was 10 I was taught how to care for pets of all kinds (from Bunnies to horses). My family took in senior dogs and gave them a home to be loved in for as long as we could. I have also raised 3 well behaved dogs from puppy hood to adult hood, in my adult life time I work from home, for myself. Other than appointments for both myself and my fur baby. I have nothing really going on during the week. I am very flexible and can accommodate almost any temperament and personality your beloved pet may have. If we are in your home, I will want to know what the schedule you follow is so I can try and stick with it. If your pet is staying overnight, I will ask you to bring enough of their food, one or two toy(s) they adore and a comfort item like a blanket they've had for a while so they can be comfortable in my home with me

“My dog had a GREAT time and came home tired and happy. Jake has a calm dogsense that helped my buddy relax and listen. Best dogsitter ever!”

“Perfect! Thank you for taking care of the furkids!”

“Mckenzie was very organized, setting up a pre-sitting visit to discuss all aspects of Tom's care. She was excellent with providing well-written updates and clear communication while I was away. I know Tom appreciated having Mckenzie as a sitter. I will certainly use Mckenzie's services in the future if I will be out of town!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

About: I'm looking forward to providing quality loving care for YOUR beloved canine! I am a small animal Certified Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have expanded my services to include dog sitting due to an increased demand for compassionate caregivers with medical knowledge. Many people are reluctant to leave their dogs at boarding kennels while traveling, particularly senior dogs and those with medical problems. Many dogs also experience high levels of stress while boarding. I provide an alternative to the traditional kennel experience by providing care out of my own home. Dogs that stay as guests in my home are provided with lots of individual attention. They are not locked in kennels, instead having free access to my home and yard. As an experienced Veterinary Technician I am also capable of caring for dogs with a broad range of medical issues, including Diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's, Epilepsy, Cancer, animals recovering from recent surgery, and more. Should your pet require emergency medical care, I am trained in animal CPR and live 5 minutes away from the clinic at which I practice. I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. There are however, a few prerequisites to ensure that your dog will have a safe, happy stay in my care. Firstly, I an unable to care for dogs that have a history of aggression toward other dogs, or toward human adults or children. No exceptions. Secondly, dogs in my care must be current on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. I also require proof of a negative fecal sample performed within 1 year prior to their stay if regular dewormings are done (i.e. year-round HeartGard). Dogs that are not regularly dewormed must have a fecal check done within 1 month prior to their stay, or perform a deworming treatment within 1 month prior. Puppies must be fully house trained. Rachel B. Certified Veterinary Technician I treat pets like family! Dogs who stay in my home are given lots of playtime and attention. I try to keep routines similar to what they are used to at their own home. Dogs are fed separately for safety but otherwise have free range of the home. I am an experienced animal nurse and well equipped to handle an emergency if one should arise!

“This is the 2nd time that we’ve booked Jake to care for Luna. We love knowing that not only will she be well cared for but she will be treated like family. Luna was so excited to see Jake again!”

“At first I was a little hesitant at booking her due to a bad review but I listened to my gut and I couldn't be happier! She took care of my baby Archie just how I wished. I would definitely book her again. I'm not sure where the other reviewer is coming from, absolute nonsense. I would trust McKenzie with my baby over and over again.”
