“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”
“We could not have picked a better person to watch our fur child Maya! This is the first time I’ve left her with anyone other than family and naturally I was a little hesitant but after the first phone call with Stephanie all my nerves went away! She was quick to respond to all my questions and extremely approachable. She took such good care of Maya and even sent us updates and pictures of her throughout our wedding night! This was such a nice gesture. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future!”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Gail did a great job for us while we were over seas. The girls had lots of attention and play time. Most important was that our one dog received all of her medicine daily. We worry about them getting everything they need. We will definitely use Gail again.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Jessica kept our dog Leif while we were on vacation and made him so comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates with pictures and videos to make us feel comfortable! She also did drop in visits with our cats and was great to work with.”
“Hard to miss how much Nathan and Jenna love dogs. And how could dogs not love them in return? They have the most amazing set up for a play area for the many dogs they welcome to their back yard. They kept me updated with photos and videos of our Petey as he enjoyed romping with other pups in the back yard and found just the right spot on Jenna's lap to cozy up. Thank you Nathan and Jenna for allowing Petey to join the fun at your home.”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Such a great experience all together!! Had many updates and pictures! Great communication! Great family! Louis had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much! (:”
“Thank you for taking great care of my fur babies! I really appreciated the daily updates with pictures and your flexibility with drop off & pick up dates and times as arranging travel plans around funeral specifics was incredibly challenging!”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Cassie kept me informed about how Rocky was doing at least once a day while we were away. She sent me pictures that showed he was truly enjoying his time with her & her family. My heart was full knowing he was safe and loved while we traveled. Our boy can be very needy, so for him to actually be loved on & not just thrown in a cage for the majority of the time, means a lot to us. He got to play all weekend with her dogs as well, which I know he really enjoyed. We appreciate everything Cassie did for Rocky and we look forward to using her again for any future travel needs! 🥰”
“Anita was great with my quirky little Yorkie. She was very understanding about his personality, and her home is really mellow which is great for a dog that's anxious when their owner is away. Her poodle, Fern, is very sweet, too.”
“Jenna was absolutely AMAZING!! First of all, her yard is truly every dog’s dream-beyond that, she was super communicative and made us feel so ease leaving our dogs with her. We appreciate that she only takes on one client at a time, and I was so relieved to not feel stressed during my wedding weekend since she provided updates and photos showing how happy Leo and Dylan were!”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”

These are cats who do not warm up to strangers and will not interact with strangers. But Lexi had the cats wanting belly rubs. Lexi has become our go to cat sitter/watcher. I will definitely use her again and again. I recommend using Lexi’s service if you want a reliable, kind and friendly cat sitter.

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats requiring medication, post-surgery care, or special diets. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has us excited to welcome feline friends for in-home boarding or cat sitting. With my vet background and a deep passion for compassionate, low-stress care, I create a safe, enriching environment tailored to each cat’s unique preferences. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to provide plenty of attention, interactive play, scratching posts, climbing opportunities, and quiet hiding spots. I handle litter box maintenance diligently, administer medications if needed, and monitor health closely—just like in the clinic. I always prioritize free meet-and-greets to ensure we’re a great match for you and your cat before booking. Whether your kitty is shy, adventurous, needs senior support, or just wants lap time and laser pointer fun, I’d love to care for them like part of our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your feline companion! 🐱

Will definitely be contacting her again for future needs.”

“Faith was an excellent first-time sitter for my dog. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcome and comfortable. My dog enjoyed her day at her house and came back happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Faith for her professionalism and genuine love for animals!”
“Throughout the time my girls are in her care, I am regularly updated with photos and messages, which puts my anxiety at ease knowing that my dogs are in good hands. The heat is now becoming an issue, but Marie made sure to not over-extend, nor over exhaust my girls, especially my senior lady, making alternative “safe” choices for them while meeting their stimulation needs. Also another note, always very accommodating with my schedule, making drop-ins &/or daycare a seamless experience. Thank you!”

She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”
“We could not have picked a better person to watch our fur child Maya! This is the first time I’ve left her with anyone other than family and naturally I was a little hesitant but after the first phone call with Stephanie all my nerves went away! She was quick to respond to all my questions and extremely approachable. She took such good care of Maya and even sent us updates and pictures of her throughout our wedding night! This was such a nice gesture. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future!”

My heart was full knowing he was safe and loved while we traveled. Our boy can be very needy, so for him to actually be loved on & not just thrown in a cage for the majority of the time, means a lot to us. He got to play all weekend with her dogs as well, which I know he really enjoyed. We appreciate everything Cassie did for Rocky and we look forward to using her again for any future travel needs! 🥰”
“Jenna was absolutely AMAZING!! First of all, her yard is truly every dog’s dream-beyond that, she was super communicative and made us feel so ease leaving our dogs with her. We appreciate that she only takes on one client at a time, and I was so relieved to not feel stressed during my wedding weekend since she provided updates and photos showing how happy Leo and Dylan were!”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Karin & Ryan are the absolute best! We are so lucky to have found them to watch our Rudy. He gets so much love, attention and activity there and they love him like their own.”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. Started with having my own pets as a child and raising orphan wildlife, then moving on to a carrier in veterinary. I’ve been working as licensed veterinary technician since 2009 and going strong. I still work part time at a clinic but spending more time at home now to raise my family. I am very comfortable with medical needs, including injections, and hold a special place in my heart for the elderly pets. I do still work part time at a vet clinic, but half days so your kiddos wouldn’t be going long periods without potty breaks and attention. I have a large fenced in yard that has direct access from the walkout basement where boarding pets stay. Your kiddo will be treated as one of the family, playing out in the yard and a lot of Netflix and chill on the couch. While I do have 2 dogs of my own, they will be kept separated from any boarding pets. We are surrounded by woods and wildlife so rabies vaccine and flea/tick prevention is a requirement to stay in our home.
“Bowie always loves his time with Tolley & Tom. He seems to make himself right at home with them. So responsive and sends updates frequently. Highly recommend! Thanks for caring for our little guy ❤️”
“Excellent experience. From the beginning Swetha was warm and engaging. This was my first time leaving my dog for an extended time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She treated my dog as if he were her own... and sent lots of great pictures throughout the stay. I would highly recommend.”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
