“Maria was absolutely amazing! It is evident that she has a great love for animals. She took excellent care of my fur babies while they were with her, including taking them for walks and making sure they got the proper exercise needed. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. This will be my go to Dog Sitter. ❤️”
“This is the second time that Keely has kept Russ for us and we are so pleased with her care. She walks him and sends me pics everyday of their adventures. We will definitely be using Keely in the future!”
“Stephanie and her husband Javi are the absolute best!! I’ve been taking my puppy Stella there for almost 6 months and they work with me and my crazy work schedule. They have helped tremendously in potty training Stella as well as getting her better at walking on a leash. I’m so happy that other dogs are there frequently because it has helped Stella become so well socialized. I know whenever Stella goes to Stephanie’s she is so well cared for and looked after. She loves Stephanie, Javi and their dog Chelsea, and the two have become best buds. I don’t know what I would do without them!”
“she was great! Took our dog on 2 walks a day(which he really needs) and updated us on his lack of eating from being in new environment. Jenn cooked him up a meal that he gobbled up. She works full time at home, so she is always there. Has a good size yard with a dog run on a overhead wire (which my dog needs as he will take off after any critter)”
“Jodie was an excellent dog sitter while I had to fly out of town for a few days. Jodie took great care of Dixie with plenty of outside time and sent daily updates on how she was doing.”
“Took our pup in overnight, with a couple hours notice. He came home very happy and well cared for. Her pack was very accepting of Pete so your dogo will have plenty of great company!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my pup. She went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. Pictures were sent to reassure me he was doing great. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Beth is absolutely the best! We left our puppy with her for 5 days and she kept me updated throughout everyday with messages and pictures of him. She made us feel very assured he was being taken the best care of! We will most definitely be leaving our puppy with her in the future! ❤ Thank you for loving our Tucker Beth!”

“First time I ever left my dog, Ellie with anyone other than family members. While I was initially apprehensive, Mary was the best dog caregiver I could have found and quickly put me at ease. She obviously loves dogs and Ellie was wonderfully care for and treated like a member of Mary’s family. Mary is kind, knowledgeable and highly organized. I recommend her without reservation.”
“Kara takes such great care of my dogs and they felt comfortable with her right away. Thank you for all of the updates and pictures, playing endless fetch with them and for giving them so much love. You are amazing!”
“I couldn't ask for a better experience. This was my first time with a sitter that wasn't a family member. Nadine is a joy! She truly makes your pup a member of her family! If I need a sitter again, I will hope and pray she will be available!! THANK YOU Nadine!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Akerly
“Stephanie is awesome. When I leave my pets to her, I am worry free. She takes such a good care of our two dogs and she helps us with teaching our puppies some basic puppy manners. I highly recommend stephanie. I dont see myself using any other dog sitter than her in the future.”
“I have been looking for a new dog sitter. My dog loves other dogs so I wanted her to have a playmate and the house needed a fenced in yard. Karen’s name popped up and I am so happy I found her. It’s difficult to leave your dog with a stranger for the first time but upon meeting Karen my fears were alleviated. She was very attentive to my dog and I was impressed that she had read my dogs bio prior to my arrival and already new the details I wanted her to know. I would highly recommend Karen to watch your dog.”
About: I always bring a treat depending on the pups diet. There will always be plenty of kisses given. I like to help with training. I can have Spot sitting on command after 30 minutes. Playing indoor or outdoors is my favorite thing to do. Especially hide and seek or playing in the pool. I’m good at observing dogs habits to understand what they do and don’t like. I volunteer with a local rescue and have helped with fostering. I am more than happy to help with an special needs and understand that they are all different. I enjoy helping animals, if I see them scratching their ears... I’ll gladly scratch them for them. I would feel bad not helping them out. I have experience watching deaf, blind, reactive/temperamental dogs. I am confident in working with them. My 2 dogs are spoiled rotten and socialized. They love meeting new pups. They sleep with me each night. I do respect owners wishes, if you do not want them on furniture. I will gladly abide. I have a client that has a list of things her dogs can and cannot eat. I take the owners wishes seriously. I’m very easy going and thrive on direct communication.
“What an amazing young lady! Positive, concerned, kind and gentle! Willing to go the extra mile for Murray and us! She listened to us, gave us suggestions…this was our first time leaving Murray with anyone! Keely provided pictures of Murray and asked great questions the entire time she had Mur! Keely agreed to a meet and greet before her time with Murray and it went superbly well. She got down on her knees and talked to Murray. She gave him time to adjust to her and on our designated day Mur walked right up to her and gave her a kiss! It was great! It did our hearts gud! Mur is a senior dog and we are thankful to have found Keely:) She is and will be our go to person from now on!”

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs.

Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.
