“Thank you for taking care of our little fluff these past few days. We appreciate you giving him so much attention and sending daily updates. We truly appreciate everything you do for him!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving our sweet boy with Jamie and her family. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Jamie provided daily updates and photos, which truly reassured us that he was happy and well-cared for. It's clear that Jamie and her family have a genuine love for dogs, and their kindness shines through in every interaction. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“David and Shelley were very flexible when we needed to change our pickup time & date. Their communication was very good throughout both times Charlie stayed.”
“Thank you to Shawn and Melissa and daughters for their loving care for my very old, blind, hard of hearing, and struggling with incontinence dog, Rufus (18 yrs). I bragged to my fellow Washington DC goers of the excellent care I found for Mr. Rufus while I was away "conferencing". I really appreciated the daily pictures and contacts -- I knew he was in good hands. Thank you to your family for providing this very loving and helpful service to our Lincoln pooches who need some brief babysitting. You guys rock! I hope I can set up some more weekend "respite" for Mr. Rufus soon....... Dr. Marti”
“Stacy did an outstanding job taking care of our Nita. She sent pictures to us while we were on our trip of the activities and overall well-being of our pet. Thank you so much Stacy for the compassionate care you gave to our senior dog.”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
“Remi always has a great time with Scott and Ashtyn and comes home nice and worn out - this time was no different! We always appreciate knowing she’s safe and being cared for while we’re gone. Thank you!”
“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up. Derek kept me updated w/great pics & gave great advice on getting Oso out & about more around people & other dogs. He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”
“Kathi took great care of our two little dogs while we were on vacation. She even took time to bathe them and wash their blankets before we picked them up after our vacation so they would smell nice for us. We were very satisfied with her services and will definitely have her watch them for us again for our next out-of-town trip.”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”
“Lori was great! I was a little nervous as I had never boarded or left Andre with a stranger but she kept me updated daily. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to any and all messages and questions. I would highly recommend! Thanks Lori!”
“Great, great, great, people who take amazing care of our dog. The booking was somewhat last minute, but Ashley and Kyle were very accommodating. We are so thankful they are part of our dog’s life, and we trust them 100% with our dog anytime we need to be away.”
“Absolutely LOVE Ms. Marie!!!! Jade had so much fun with her! She is such an amazing person and really cared for my dog while she was sick the last few days of her stay. Thank you so much Marie, you were AMAZING! ❤️”
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town

“Alyssa is very reliable, on time, and took wonderful care of my cat, Oggy. I really appreciated the updates with photos and notes, it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. When I got home, my cat was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Maria did a wonderful job with my two cats. I could tell how much they loved her from the very first photos. They need a lot of affection and play time and she gave them a lot. Also kept everything clean.”
About: I have had all kinds of different pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, and fish. I have also taken care of horses and saved a wild turtle. I will watch any kind of pet, even snakes and bugs. I have always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet and care for your pets! I am currently working at a grocery store part-time. I will need at least a one week notice so I can make sure I can be there for your pets. I have no other obligations besides making sure your pets are happy! I am willing to do whatever makes your pets most comfortable. I love sitting on the couch and cuddling or playing outside in the yard! I also love going out on walks or for a treat! I can assist in crate training should that be needed. I am very flexible!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule so I can take care of your pets at almost all hours of any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.
“Maddie did a great job with our dog! She was willing to come meet him a couple nights before the scheduled visit and was great about communicating with us when we were gone. Thank you Maddie!!”
“100% WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN! Dom takes such good care of our boys! Our babies are very needy & have abandonment issues. They are only comfortable in their own home with their routines. We have very specific care instructions & one of ours needs medication and he fights it. Dom is consistent and he truly care about our boys’ health and wellbeing while we’re gone. We repeatedly choose Dom time after time because of his great communication, consistency, & level of quality care! Thank you again Dom, you’re the best!”
About: I worked at Kenl Inn for close to 3 years and we didn't only have dogs. We also had a slurry of seemingly random animals that just needed a place to stay! Aside from dogs, cats were the most common. Most of what I learned about cats came from a long family history of having cats. Knowing their body language goes a very long way and once you know it, any cat is easy to love.
About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.
“Jessica was very professional including communication and throughout her visits. Our dog loved her from the beginning. We arranged 3 drop-in visits for our dog. She was always prompt, kept us updated on how he was eating/taking potty breaks, played with him and sent us several photos or videos each drop-in. She went above and beyond to bring a package in off of our porch and spent a few minutes over the 30 minutes we agreed on for each visit. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Allie and I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since birth but took on caring for my very first cat Prince at the age of 5 and never stopped! Our family currently has 4 kitties (Kitzie, Luna, Pizza and Meatball) and two pups Luke and Charlie. They are all rescues and came to us with a number of different needs. Growing up I spent many of my weekends and summers pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors and now as an adult with a family of my own I enjoy it even more! We believe that animals are part of the family and should be treated that way. That is why when your fur baby stays with us you won’t see them in a kennel or locked in a dog run. He/she is part of our family while you’re away. They are allowed anywhere people are allowed, pampered and will enjoy land to run and play! We provide homemade all organic treats and encourage parents to bring a couple items such as toys, special blankets, or pet beds to remind your pet of home. We go for walks, play fetch, feed according to their diet, send lots of pictures and even an occasional play in the sprinkler if your pup is up for it! Naps and bedtime are comfortable and they will always have something soft to sleep on! Our home is nestled on a small acreage in Raymond, NE giving us lots of room to play and exercise with your pups! Let our home be your pups home away from home and have the peace of mind that they are loved, cherished and spoiled! I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is also currently working from home so we are able to dedicate our time to care for your fur baby while you have to be away. We also have a daughter in high school who is an aspiring veterinarian and loves to help care for all animals big and small. Our property is not fenced but we do have a wrap around tree line. There is plenty of room for your pups to run and play and they will always be supervised. We have plenty of toys to keep your puppy big or small busy and entertained and offer homemade organic treats daily. Your pup is welcome wherever people are! We are able to crate if that is your desire as well. We have two very friendly and social dogs of our own and they love to have friends to play and nap with. We recently installed a catio for our indoor kitties to get some fresh air and to experience the outside in a safe way. This experience is open to any kitties that come to visit as well. COVID-19 Precautions: In order to keep your family and ours safe during this pandemic we have implemented a few precautions. We ask that if you or a member of your family has COVID-19 symptoms or have had contact with an individual who has tested positive or is currently awaiting test results, that you cancel your stay. You will not be held liable for a last minute cancellation in this event and will receive a full refund. Though we typically love to invite people into our home, at this time we have decided it’s best to meet outside and only have our furry friends inside. We will sanitize all leashes, toys and personal items at drop off and pickup. During stays we also try our hardest to avoid other people that are not members of our family from coming over.
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!
About: By day I’m a pediatric dental assistant, by night a dog mom! I have a dachshund/lab mix who is a 10 years old, an Anatolian shepherd who is 1 year old and a Bernese mountain dog who is 4 months old. I enjoy taking my dogs on walk, my 10yr old loves to swim, so in the summer we take him to lakes and a friends pool in the summer time. The younger two love to play fetch and wrestle in the back yard. They all love playing with other furry friends! I’d love to hear from you and see if I’m a good fit for your family! I currently work full time in Omaha, Monday-Thursday with the occasional Friday surgery. I’m most excited for the weekends to spend time with my furry babies. I have a fenced yard at my house, my dogs are all leash trained and closely supervised while playing with others. Willing to follow all rules and schedules as dictated by the owner. Schedules make life easier for everyone! 😁
“Emily provided over the top care for Cooper. She tended to his extra needs which made me feel like she was paying attention and connecting with him, not just giving him food and water.”
About: I have had dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life and have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments! I love every experience I have with animals and am always excited to meet new fur babies! I am a full time student and a volunteer softball coach, so planning well ahead of time is very important, but I try to be flexible! I can come between classes or on my days off and my weekends are usually pretty open. I can accommodate to anything needed! I have cared for dogs with many different needs and I have experience with many different care types. I am comfortable with crating dogs or doing anything needed.

“Tuffy looks happy and well cared for, which really stood out to me. David seems very comfortable and confident handling dogs. It’s clear he actually spends quality time with the dogs rather than just keeping them around, and that makes a big difference. We are grateful.”

“Infinity was wonderful to work with! It was clear immediately that she cared for my pup and made sure she was comfortable in her home. She provided regular updates and photos and even gave my pup a bath after play time ended in the mud 🤦🏻♀️ I am so thankful our first pet sitting experience with this dog was with Infinity!”

About: I've grown up around all different breeds and temperaments of dogs and have dog sat for both small and large pups! I'm also looking to study animal science or go the pre vet route in college! I'm currently working a part time job only a few hours a few times a week so I will have plenty of time to walk, check in on, or stop by and spend time with your pup!

About: No stranger to the busy lifestyle of owning pets. A household of dogs, a kitty cat, and farm animals help to keep my experience fresh! Every job since age 16 has been in the animal care industry. From vet clinic, to specialty boutique, to doggie daycare management. Animals truly are my passion. I would love to share that care with your pups! A mid day ear scratch, belly rub, or quick walk around the block! I’m fortunate that my full time work schedule allows me to offer an afternoon potty or a walk around to stretch those legs. Fresh air does wonders! I live on a farm with a few acres that allows my personal dogs to run and romp around. We also head to the lake near our house to walk the trails up there to get some sniffs outside just our yard. My dogs are my kids so their care comes above everything else.
About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs and a cat in my life. I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I am also looking to expand my resume! I am a student and am just looking to get into this part time. I love animals and want to help out if I can. I love taking care of other people and their animals, me and my family have done it for many many years and we love it!
About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I previously lived in Colorado where I fostered dogs through a local program until they got adopted. The most special dog I fostered had been shot and needed round the clock care and multiple surgeries. She is is now happy and healthy in a new home in Colorado. I work from home so am able to give your pets round the clock attention and love. I can take my computer and work from anywhere and be flexible for schedules. Caring for animals is my passion, I was just never able to make a career out of it. I have my own chocolate lab named Timber. I took her in from a friend that could no longer keep her. I believe in rescuing animals in need.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.
About: I grew up on an acreage in the country and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from chickens to horses. I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats, and my home was often the place neighbors brought stray or abandoned animals. Many of our pets were adopted from shelters or rescued, which helped build my passion for animal care from a young age. I’ve also helped care for stray cats and participated in TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts, so I’m very comfortable working with animals of all backgrounds and temperaments. I’m a huge animal lover and advocate, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Currently, I work part-time at Dogger Bark Club, a dog daycare and boarding facility, and at Vintage Heights Veterinary Hospital as a kennel attendant. These roles have given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats in both everyday care and more structured environments. I’m currently in college studying Companion Animal Science with a minor in Business, and I’m passionate about building a career working with animals. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m trained in administering medications if needed. With my experience in both a veterinary setting and a daycare environment, I’m confident handling pets of all personalities and needs. I prioritize safety, follow routines closely, and always send updates and photos so you feel at ease. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m currently in college and keep a well-organized schedule, so I only take on bookings I can fully commit to and give your pet my full attention. My availability will also be more open during the summer. I have a flexible but organized schedule and make sure I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available most evening weekdays and weekends typically anytime. I am still in school but with increased availability during the summer I will be more open! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand how important consistency is, especially for reducing stress. With my experience working in both a veterinary hospital and a dog daycare/boarding facility, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed and handling pets of all temperaments safely. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment, whether that means properly leashing dogs, monitoring interactions, or keeping a close eye on their surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine care.

About: I work specifically with dogs and cats! I love to train puppies. But my experience is primarily just taking care of pets however owners need me to! I have a very flexible schedule, so anytime you need me I’m there! I can do overnights, weekends, and anytime during the day. Even just drop ins I can make work. I am very accommodating. I am open to being in others homes, and will follow directions precisely. I can also watch in my own home if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was able to walk. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for about 10 years now, and have a career as an animal Behaviorist at an animal shelter. I have a love for all animals, excluding the creepy crawlies I currently work full time in omaha, but can let pets out Sunday-Thursday at 7am and could let them back out at 6pm and stay the night. My Fridays and Saturdays are free and can hang out with them as much as possible. I currently have in my home a 7 year old diabetic husky who has to have is meds at exact times and exact dosages. I also have a wolf hybrid with tons of energy and needs constant enrichment and stimulation.
About: I’ve been great at taking care of many types of pets and holding down the fort for friends and family! As for pets, ever since I was in high school, I learned to take responsibility of the pets I owned. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats and had no problem getting them what they need, giving bathroom breaks frequently, having play time and obviously pets!! I’ve also housesat for my aunt on vacation along with my boyfriend’s family. I’ve had no complaints given to me thus far; have faith in Faith! I am currently attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln so I do have classes on the weekdays with a couple of windows inbetween; please message me specific times regarding daytime inquiries. Weekends are perfect and I can do overnight stays as well, just keep in mind as long as classes are in session I will be busy from a ballpark time of 9-5! I will be sure to take any precautions you need me to take in order to keep your pets safe. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you feel your pets are secure with me. Communication is key!
About: I’ve cared for and loved on many of my own and neighbor’s dogs, cats, any animal really. I’m trusted by many neighbors and close friends to care for their animals and to leave the house better than I found it. Girl Scout rule!;) Right now I’m trying to focus on finishing high school and get my diploma. I’m currently taking online classes and working as much as I can. I will also be taking summer classes at LPS to speed up my graduation process I personally would prefer a fenced front and/or backyard. It is definitely not a problem if you don’t have a fenced in yard. If you choose me as a sitter I will touch base on anything your dog can/can’t have and what they are allergic or sensitive to. Just so I’m aware as I would love to bring your fur baby treats!

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.
About: I've lived with pets my entire life (except for currently) and have cared for them as long as I can remember. I've also worked at boarding centers, caring for cats and dogs and taking them for walks multiple times a day. I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog/cat is used to! I also have experience house sitting for 5+ animals at once, so I can take on many different challenges when it come to pet care. Tasks include feeding, walking, administering medications, and cleaning litter boxes and crates. I will make sure your pet receives the attention and love it deserves! I'm available all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I am only available on weekends for dog sitting. Your pet would never be left for more than 2 hours at a time! I can adapt to any situation for your pet if needed. From getting up at 5am for breakfast and a morning walk in your neighborhood to going to their favorite dog park on the weekends. I live in an apartment, but live near parks and trails that I can easily take your dog for walks on. I also have lots of windows for cats to look out of in my apartment. Animals are welcome and encouraged to sit with my on my couch and bed! I also have lots of blankets to lie down if they choose the floor.

“Thank you for taking care of our little fluff these past few days. We appreciate you giving him so much attention and sending daily updates. We truly appreciate everything you do for him!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving our sweet boy with Jamie and her family. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Jamie provided daily updates and photos, which truly reassured us that he was happy and well-cared for. It's clear that Jamie and her family have a genuine love for dogs, and their kindness shines through in every interaction. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“David and Shelley were very flexible when we needed to change our pickup time & date. Their communication was very good throughout both times Charlie stayed.”
“Thank you to Shawn and Melissa and daughters for their loving care for my very old, blind, hard of hearing, and struggling with incontinence dog, Rufus (18 yrs). I bragged to my fellow Washington DC goers of the excellent care I found for Mr. Rufus while I was away "conferencing". I really appreciated the daily pictures and contacts -- I knew he was in good hands. Thank you to your family for providing this very loving and helpful service to our Lincoln pooches who need some brief babysitting. You guys rock! I hope I can set up some more weekend "respite" for Mr. Rufus soon....... Dr. Marti”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
“Remi always has a great time with Scott and Ashtyn and comes home nice and worn out - this time was no different! We always appreciate knowing she’s safe and being cared for while we’re gone. Thank you!”
“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up. Derek kept me updated w/great pics & gave great advice on getting Oso out & about more around people & other dogs. He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”
“Kathi took great care of our two little dogs while we were on vacation. She even took time to bathe them and wash their blankets before we picked them up after our vacation so they would smell nice for us. We were very satisfied with her services and will definitely have her watch them for us again for our next out-of-town trip.”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“Lori was great! I was a little nervous as I had never boarded or left Andre with a stranger but she kept me updated daily. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to any and all messages and questions. I would highly recommend! Thanks Lori!”
“Absolutely LOVE Ms. Marie!!!! Jade had so much fun with her! She is such an amazing person and really cared for my dog while she was sick the last few days of her stay. Thank you so much Marie, you were AMAZING! ❤️”
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“Michelle cares for my little lamb as if he were one her own children (human and fur). It's so comforting and reassuring to know that Yoshi Bear has excellent care when I am out of town. I highly recommend Michelle and her ability to care for my child. The photos she sends are always so cute, as well! I will book again with Michelle -- she is amazing!!”
