“This is the second time we’ve had Sharon watch our pups and I will continue to rebook with her! I can go on vacation without a single worry because she truly treats them as if they’re her own. So thankful we found her!”
“Kelli & Jacob were absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of Mo, our Mini Schnauzer, for an entire week while our family travelled. This was our first time using Rover and Mo’s first time being boarded. Kelli & Jacob quickly quelled any initial anxieties. They really took time to understand Mo, his habits, preferences, house boundaries, etc. so they could make him feel at home. Communication was excellent before, during, and after. We also received regular updates throughout the week with photos ❤️ We will definitely be in touch for future trips!”
“Jeremy and his family, boarded our dog, REX, at their house for 2 days. Rex was relaxed and happy when we got home. Jeremy is a very caring person and keeps an excellent communication. He sent pictures and updates. We will definitely book with him again. Thank you so much! 😊 🐶”
“We felt very comfortable with Mitzi and her wonderful family after our meet and greet. The dogs had ample room to play and lots of opportunities to be cuddled. She sent us pictures every day. Our only worry was that the dogs wouldn't want to come back home after all the attention they received.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“It seemed like Obi Wan had a blast with Scott and Heather! Scott sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to show me how everything was going, and Obi Wan was having the time of his life! We will definitely be booking with Scott and Heather in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing! Our new dog is very anxious, large, and full of puppy energy but Melissa and her husband handled her wonderfully. She kept in constant contact with pictures and updates showing that our Indie girl was having a blast!”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Malika did an awesome job with my dog. He’s a big dog and she accommodated him with no problem. She spent time taking him to the park and walks, sent pictures and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend her. Thanks again.”

“Zach did an amazing job taking care of Koda! He kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Koda was having a great time and was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Koda!”
“Suzanne was awesome. I would highly recommend her watching over your pets. She kept in contact with me throughout the day and sent me pictures of my puppy. I could tell that my puppy really enjoyed his time with her. She deserves 10 stars 🌟”
“Stacey did an awesome job watching our pup! I know our dog was at ease & comfortable with her which was super important to us. She would communicate with us throughout the day & send us many updates which we loved. Our dog can be a handful meeting other dogs and isn’t the best on the leash but Stacey did great with her! She gave her lots of loves and cuddles too which was so appreciated while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”
“Dior had a great stay at Marissa & Mosieo’s. They have two small dogs & a fenced in yard so she had play buddies, space & time to run around. Marissa shared a video of pure joy. She made herself at home.”
“Sayaka was an amazing dog sitter! Duke was well cared for and even made a best friend during his stay. Sayaka sent regular updates and clearly loves animals. We came back to a happy, boy!! Highly recommend Sayaka —especially if your dog loves having a playmate!”

“This was the 2nd time having Kimberly taking care of my 3 kitties, once again her services are awesome. The love, care, and kindness to my kitties while I was away was the best”

“We absolutely love and adore Kayla! We had to find someone last minute to watch over our pup, and she came through! We were able to meet her and have the booking all within 24 hours. Our pup is also quite nervous around new people, very “stranger danger” mode - but he warmed up to Kayla and even snuggled with her during his naps, which is a huge step for him. We got pictures throughout the day and they were the cutest! They had so much fun with each other it really put us at ease to know that he was enjoying himself and that he was in good hands. Cocomelon will definitely be seeing her more often!”
“Athena was in her element - running, playing, and enjoying the companionship of her canine relatives! What a special day and place for Athena to spend time being a ‘puppy’ with such joy. Thank you Melissa”

“Mitzi and her family were friendly and accommodating early on a Friday. They invited myself and my partner in to meet everyone and show us around. I felt comfortable with leaving Scooter in their care. I got pics and updates throughout the day. This was/is a great experience and we will ask for Mitzi’s help again. We recommend”
“Sonia and Jeff watched our 6 month old Lab during the day for 3 days while we were out of town and our daughter was at work. They were kind to send us pics & a video while she was there. She seemed to have a really good time while in their care. They even advised us of the gunk they were seeing in the pups eyes. Pretty sure it's allergies, but, still, it was nice to see that they were keeping an eye on things. We are already booked for our next trip in June. I would highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs!”
“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”

About: I’ve owned golden retrievers since 2016. I have dog sat for families in the past for up to a week at a time. I have taken care of my sisters golden doodle for months at a time. I have taken part in simple training my two golden retrievers since they were puppies. I love dogs and seeing the different personalities brought out from different breeds. I do not have much experience with senior dogs, but I would love the opportunity to learn! I’m currently in an online masters program, but I have a pretty open schedule. I get up early usually around 5 or 6am and I am in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I love working out and getting outside during the day, so walking or boarding dogs will guarantee some playtime for the pups. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play. I have an almost 10 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and loves to play.

I am completing my bachelors degree online which allows me a very flexible schedule at this time. I am willing to do daily and will consider extended care if needed. I enjoy playing, cuddling, giving praise and love. I also like taking dogs for walks or playing in the back yard. Cats are a little harder to play with, but I try with the cat toys, and if that does not work, I will just sit and cuddle.

They are also solely fed wet food. I try to do research on whats best for them.
About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)

“This is the second time we’ve had Sharon watch our pups and I will continue to rebook with her! I can go on vacation without a single worry because she truly treats them as if they’re her own. So thankful we found her!”
“Kelli & Jacob were absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of Mo, our Mini Schnauzer, for an entire week while our family travelled. This was our first time using Rover and Mo’s first time being boarded. Kelli & Jacob quickly quelled any initial anxieties. They really took time to understand Mo, his habits, preferences, house boundaries, etc. so they could make him feel at home. Communication was excellent before, during, and after. We also received regular updates throughout the week with photos ❤️ We will definitely be in touch for future trips!”
“Jeremy and his family, boarded our dog, REX, at their house for 2 days. Rex was relaxed and happy when we got home. Jeremy is a very caring person and keeps an excellent communication. He sent pictures and updates. We will definitely book with him again. Thank you so much! 😊 🐶”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“It seemed like Obi Wan had a blast with Scott and Heather! Scott sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to show me how everything was going, and Obi Wan was having the time of his life! We will definitely be booking with Scott and Heather in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing! Our new dog is very anxious, large, and full of puppy energy but Melissa and her husband handled her wonderfully. She kept in constant contact with pictures and updates showing that our Indie girl was having a blast!”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Monica watched our two dogs for 12 days. Their stay was suppposed to be 11 days, but our flight home was delayed and we needed them to stay another night. Monica graciously watched them for one more day. We received texts and pictures of how they were doing. Based on our communication with her, we really felt she knew our dogs and wanted to make sure they were happy. We will, without a doubt, reach out to her first when we need a sitter!!!!!”
“Malika did an awesome job with my dog. He’s a big dog and she accommodated him with no problem. She spent time taking him to the park and walks, sent pictures and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend her. Thanks again.”
“10/10 would recommend! They are the sweetest bunch and took great care of my cat. All of their furry friends seemed to get along well with her! They sent me photos and updates everyday which were greatly appreciated. And last but not least, they were extremely flexible and kind with letting her stay for another night when I couldn’t make our agreed pickup time.”
“Andrew, was AMAZING!! Kept me informed, sent me lots of pics, followed Snoops schedule and instructions. Came home to a happy and healthy pup ☺️ thank you so much!”
“Zach did an amazing job taking care of Koda! He kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Koda was having a great time and was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Koda!”
“Hanna is the best. Gives us photos and videos and texts throughout the day to check in on our dog. Wouldn’t and couldn’t recommend anyone else. Thank you Hanna!”
“Jett found his new best friends in this home! We did a meet and greet and they are so warm and welcoming. Their dog Autumn is super friendly also. I had no nervousness about them or their home or pet. Jett felt the same, it was instant comfort. Great communication for a first time stay :) Judy also let me know general details about dogs coming for day care while Jett would be there just for my awareness. Everything went well and they were so kind and flexible when my return flights got delayed!”
“Sayaka was an amazing dog sitter! Duke was well cared for and even made a best friend during his stay. Sayaka sent regular updates and clearly loves animals. We came back to a happy, boy!! Highly recommend Sayaka —especially if your dog loves having a playmate!”
“Brandi and John did a wonderful job and kept me updated throughout the whole stay. My pup had a great time and I was also able to relax knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!”
