“We are so grateful to have found Echo to watch our dog while we were out of town! Echo kept us updated on all the fun our dog was having, with pictures and text messages. Echo and her family played with our dog, took her for walks and spent time with her. The communication between us was perfect and she was so flexible with scheduling. And so friendly too! I highly recommend her.”
“Crystal is AMAZING. We have an old, irritable chihuahua mix who doesn’t like other dogs very much and our sitter canceled last minute before our trip. Crystal took him at the last minute and loved him so well while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates and was so accommodating. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Tish is amazing! She took my two dogs when I had to leave town at the last minute. She was so kind and made sure they felt right at home. We were updated frequently with photos and videos which was much appreciated. The drop off and pick up were so easy and I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you Tish!”
“Christina was so good with Sophie and made her feel at home. She sent pictures of her snuggling with her kids and that made me feel so comfortable knowing she was loved.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.
“Alora was super great! My little old man had such a blast and is now pleasantly tired! She did well keeping me updated with lots of pictures! 10/10 Will be booking with her again!”
“Sharon sent us numerous photos of my boys enjoying and exploring her home for a 2 night stay. We were at ease knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much for caring for Charlie & Jake.”
“Christine and her family took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town! She sent frequent photos and updates and was flexible when I needed to drop her off early. My dog had a blast with them!”
“Rachel is a great sitter. I left my pup with her on two occasions - once for a weekend and another for an 8 day trip. She did an amazing job with her and I could tell my dog had a great time. She sends daily updates and photos which is greatly appreciated. More importantly Rachel is super understanding and was able to be flexible with me when my return flight was delayed and cancelled. I will definitely keep using her as my sitter anytime we go out of town - 10/10 would recommend!”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“George and his wife were excellent! Great communication, and they even graciously let us book an additional night when we decided to extend our trip. We will definitely request for our pup to stay with them again when we’re in the Chattanooga area!”
“Joe was amazing with both of my dogs. He can handle my big german shepherd and my little pug. He provided pictures and updates throughout their boarding and had many activities for them to keep them entertained. He gave them their special diet and provided medication to my shepherd and they were happy and healthy on my return. I will be using Joe again whenever I need to board my dogs.”
“Such an amazing family! It was so nice to meet her and feel the love of her family. Dropping my dog off there I knew he would be cared for with lots of attention. I appreciated how detailed and honest Brooke’s updates were. It is nice to know exactly what is going on along with pictures and updates on the goofy things my dog does. Of course I missed him, but I was not worried. I knew he was in good hands. I will absolutely trust Brooke and her family again. Thank you!”
“Marluce took excellent care of our little Stella! She sent pictures each day and treated our up like a member of her family. We had good communication and pick up and drop off were a breeze.”
“Casey and Luigi are simply the best sitters ever. They went over and beyond to make sure Charli was in good hands. We couldn’t ask for better service. We were informed with pictures and videos. Highly Recommend!”
“I can’t say enough nice things. The boys were so well taken care of and Brittany communicates really quickly with his things are going and send pics. It was my first time using a dog sitting service and I was really nervous but she made everything really wonderful.”

“Laura was wonderful with our boys while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates every day. We were comfortable with her looking after our pets and will definitely use her services again! Highly recommended!”
“We had Becca come for a meet and greet while we were home to meet our pack and the setup for future house sitting. She was very communicative prior to the visit and really loved on our furbabies during the visit. We are looking forward to planning our trip and for Becca to stay with our furbabies.”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
About: Cats are some of my favorite creatures on earth, and I have owned two of my own for seven years. One of my cats has separation anxiety, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your cats while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes.
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I spent 15½ years at PetsHotel caring for cats every single day - seniors, kittens, shy rescues, and bold orange boys who rule the house. I've done it all: meds, special diets, litter box scooping, and learning each cat's unique "love language." I also share my home with several cats of my own, so I get it - coming home to a calm, cared-for kitty is everything. I'll make sure your cat gets the exact balance of attention and alone time they prefer.
“Michelle was amazing! She updated me every time she did anything for the cats which made me feel like they were in good hands. She did housesitting for us & she cleaned up everything before leaving. The sheets were by the laundry room, kitchen was cleaned up, etc. Will be booking with her in the future! My cats absolutely loved her.”
“Courtney has came by twice now to let my littles out while I'm at work. She is very communicative and punctual. She takes a lot of pictures for me so I can see that my two dogs are enjoying their break from the crate. She made sure to reach out and ask questions on the little details that I forgot to share or that I didn't even think about. She is very thorough. I am excited to find such a lovely sitter to trust my babies with.”

I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!

“Crystal is a wonderful dog sitter! She makes sure the dogs have everything they need, and gave my Ophelia such a great amount of attention that she jumped out of the car when I was picking her back up. Ophelia will be going back anytime I need to go out of town! Highly recommend her!”

“Amazing experience!! Needed last minute doggie daycare while I was away at a baby shower for 4-5 hours which was longer than I wanted to leave my 8 week old Winston in a kennel. Rachel was available and able to help. So blessed and thankful to be able to do what I needed to do without worrying about him. He had fun, she fed him when he got hungry, and he slept until I got back. She sent updated pics too which eased my mind he was in great hands! What a blessing and lifesaver she is. Will definitely be using her service again.”

I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.
“We were rock climbing nearby and Jennifer was super flexible and provided a great place for our pup to spend the day. Her yard is large and secure and her pup, Dingo was playful and super sweet. We would definitely use her again if we were in the area!”
“Angela was a lifesaver! We spent a week in Utah skiing with family, and Angela helped us out with some last minute doggy daycare and boarding. She has a lovely family with 3 kids and 2 dogs, and combined, they gave our 5-month-old puppy so much love, attention, and playtime. Our puppy is normally pretty shy and can take some time to acclimate to new people, dogs, and situations, but our worries completely disappeared when we saw how comfortable and happy she was when we picked her up after the first day of daycare. Thank you Angela for coming to our rescue at the last minute and 1) accepting Maya into your family for the week and 2) allowing my family to enjoy ourselves on the slopes. We will definitely book with you again the next time we're visiting Utah!”
About: Hi, I'm Alora! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, goats, pigs, and chickens. I'm certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the Red Cross and am experienced with senior pets, special needs pets, and energetic puppies. I'm a Rover Star Sitter and stay home during the day, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for the pets I welcome into my home.

Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m home full time with my two school age boys, so I’m able to give plenty of love and attention to every pet I care for. From morning potty breaks and walks to evening snuggles, your pup is part of our daily routine. We go on neighborhood walks, enjoy playtime, and keep you updated with photos along the way.

About: I’d love the opportunity to give your fur baby attention and cuddles while you’re away. My two kiddos love animals and always offer a helping hand in feeding, walking, and brushing the dogs. I work a full time (4d/wk) schedule, but my office is 10 minutes from home. You can count on us to watch, play, love on and be attentive to the needs of your doggo. Checking in on your fur baby and keeping them comfortable and safe are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two doggos to keep your baby company. The yard is maintained 2x weekly, and fresh water is kept in multiple locations at all times. Reach out and let me know any questions you may have, to see if I’d be a good fit to sit! I am home every week all day Friday to Sunday. I prefer very well behaved, house trained guests. Dogs that need a place to stay and just lounge when I’m at work are ideal. The back yard is completely fenced. I have several cameras inside and outside to help keep an eye on the dogs too. Dogs get to play in and out most of the day and there is always fresh water daily to drink. My daughter and I like to take the dogs on walks around our neighborhood also. I have a three day weekend away from work every week. I spend my weekends hanging out with the dogs, walking in the neighborhood and letting them lounge inside. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I have cameras that monitor both the back door and outdoor area. Pets are treated as part of the family and have complete free range in every room. A big hit is the dog crate full of toys to play with.

About: Hi!! I am 18, I will make sure you are comfortable with me being your home and trusting me with your animal!! I have been taking care of animals since I was able to understand the concept. I have a chocolate lab names Rusty and two guinea pigs named Costello and Kota. I adore animals! I work a part time job and I am currently in college. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes from 9:30 am to 1:45 pm. I will be available from 6:00am - 8:00am and 2:30pm - 10:00pm on those days! Any other day of the week I am completely available. (Apart from working around my part- time schedule) I can care for animals in all sorts of ways, if you just need someone to watch your pet for a couple hours, feed, water and play with them. If you need them taken to training classes, the park, etc. Anything! :)
“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”
About: I have 15½ years of professional animal care experience from PetsHotel, plus 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I'm very familiar with all the different personalities and needs that come with pets - from shy seniors to high-energy pups - and I love letting dogs be dogs so they can live their best life! I offer baths, nail trims/grinding, and I have plenty of experience administering medication. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I bring lots of love, patience, and understanding to every visit. I recently moved to this beautiful rural area from a big city, and I service a large surrounding area. *For visits over 10 miles* from my home, rates will need to be adjusted to reflect a travel fee to cover gas/time, but I'm happy to work with you to figure out what's fair. I'm also very flexible with dates and times, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when I can. My children may be with me sometimes, but they're very good with animals. I've worked hard to teach them dog body language and how to safely approach pets they don't know. I look forward to loving your pet like my own! I just left my pet care related job of 15 1/2 years. I am now a stay at home mom and I homeschool my children. I’m always ready for a new client 🙂 We are very much animal people. Our pets are allowed on our furniture and my pets have their own space. Two of my dogs are in their senior years and can be a bit cranky at times but they are used to new pets coming into the home as we have had lots of rescues and fosters throughout their lives. I currently do not have a fenced yard, but live in a lovely rural area and can offer outdoor time on leash. You are welcome to bring bedding and toys to help your pet feel at home 💞 but it is not required. I would recommend bringing a crate if your pet is accustomed to using one, as it can often serve as a comfy safe place. Please do provide food from home 🙂

My schedule is flexible so please feel free to just ask, I am happy to try and accommodate! I have a small fenced yard and screened in back porch, living in a very walkable neighborhood. I am respectful of any and all environments, responsible, and reliable. You can count on me to ensure your pets needs are met and then some, your space is left tidy, as well as ensuring your home is secure post-check in.
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow!

I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I am animal lover and I have been taking care of many animals (dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, spiders, reptiles, opossums, raccoon and you named it. They mean the world to me just like you. Make an appointment here, right away! I am free all day unless I get some appointments from them that’s it. Just give me an update when you can and we ll see from there. I can be in your house for your pet at anytime, overnight and or if you’re comfortable with not just babysitting but also bathing, cleaning with your specific instructions as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child. I cared for my own dog for seven years, which included intensive senior care. Several friends have asked me to watch their dogs for them, which I’m always happy to do! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I’m home most of the week, and love getting outside and taking walks, so I’d be happy to spend time indoors or outdoors playing with your pet! I have a large yard I can walk your pet around, as well as quick access to multiple walking trails at local parks. I have two large dog cages if necessary and a couple dog beds as well.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and I absolutely love all dogs great and small. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and even a cat (shocking I know)! I currently work from home and I am able to give great attention to your pet. If you need any urgent care, just let me know. I like to let pets warm up to me, I don’t like to try and pet them or hold them - I think it’s better to let them learn to like you. Once they’ve accepted me, I’m their best friend!
About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.
About: One of my cats has separation anxiety and chronic health issues, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have owned pets since I was a kid, and have also spent over a decade riding and caring for horses. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes. My husband and I own our own company, and I work from home full-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible. This also allows me to bring my work to your house and spend extra quality time with your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind while you travel. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, and I monitor pets closely for any behavioral changes. I also want your pet to have an enjoyable, stress-free experience - wether they need cuddles or play (and hopefully both!) I am happy to cater to their individual needs.

About: I love animal behavior and training. I personally trained our service dog, Crew. He goes just about everywhere with us- trails, stores, restaurants, hotels, airplanes. In my neighborhood growing up, people would call me whenever they went away and wanted animal care. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and rabbits. I had my Siberian husky for 16 great years. I loved training her. I considered stuffing pillows with the volume of fur I brushed out of her coat! I can help with puppy and obedience training. I can help with advanced canine skills, including scent work, service work, and public access. I can administer medication. I can bathe and brush. I can play and have a great time with your pet! Something else? Just ask me! My wife and I keep a remote work situation which enables flexibility. Let me know what your specific needs are and I’ll be happy to coordinate with you. Consistency is key for animals. I aim to maintain the status quo that your pets are used to in their home. I welcome owner instructions and preferences. If crating a dog, I prefer to do so after exercise and potty.
About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I’m currently working Monday through Friday 6:00am to 2:00pm, I get an hour lunch from 11:00 to 12:00pm so I could check on animals during lunch and then of course be with them at all times outside of this work schedule, I’m off Saturday and Sunday. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.
About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and truly love being around them! Before moving to Chattanooga, I cared for the same family’s dog for over two years, building a strong bond with both the pup and the family. I’ve also worked as a nanny, where I was responsible not only for the children but also for their family dog—making sure they were walked, fed, and loved. I now have a puppy of my own, so I understand the daily needs, attention, and patience dogs require at every stage. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I work during the weekdays, but I’m fully available in the evenings and at night for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m also completely free on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, clean, and cozy space with lots of love and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. If I’m in your home, I make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for while respecting your space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages!

“We are so grateful to have found Echo to watch our dog while we were out of town! Echo kept us updated on all the fun our dog was having, with pictures and text messages. Echo and her family played with our dog, took her for walks and spent time with her. The communication between us was perfect and she was so flexible with scheduling. And so friendly too! I highly recommend her.”
“Tish is amazing! She took my two dogs when I had to leave town at the last minute. She was so kind and made sure they felt right at home. We were updated frequently with photos and videos which was much appreciated. The drop off and pick up were so easy and I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you Tish!”
“Christina was so good with Sophie and made her feel at home. She sent pictures of her snuggling with her kids and that made me feel so comfortable knowing she was loved.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.
“Sharon sent us numerous photos of my boys enjoying and exploring her home for a 2 night stay. We were at ease knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much for caring for Charlie & Jake.”
“Christine and her family took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town! She sent frequent photos and updates and was flexible when I needed to drop her off early. My dog had a blast with them!”
“Rachel is a great sitter. I left my pup with her on two occasions - once for a weekend and another for an 8 day trip. She did an amazing job with her and I could tell my dog had a great time. She sends daily updates and photos which is greatly appreciated. More importantly Rachel is super understanding and was able to be flexible with me when my return flight was delayed and cancelled. I will definitely keep using her as my sitter anytime we go out of town - 10/10 would recommend!”
“George and his wife were excellent! Great communication, and they even graciously let us book an additional night when we decided to extend our trip. We will definitely request for our pup to stay with them again when we’re in the Chattanooga area!”
“Joe was amazing with both of my dogs. He can handle my big german shepherd and my little pug. He provided pictures and updates throughout their boarding and had many activities for them to keep them entertained. He gave them their special diet and provided medication to my shepherd and they were happy and healthy on my return. I will be using Joe again whenever I need to board my dogs.”
“Such an amazing family! It was so nice to meet her and feel the love of her family. Dropping my dog off there I knew he would be cared for with lots of attention. I appreciated how detailed and honest Brooke’s updates were. It is nice to know exactly what is going on along with pictures and updates on the goofy things my dog does. Of course I missed him, but I was not worried. I knew he was in good hands. I will absolutely trust Brooke and her family again. Thank you!”
“Casey and Luigi are simply the best sitters ever. They went over and beyond to make sure Charli was in good hands. We couldn’t ask for better service. We were informed with pictures and videos. Highly Recommend!”
“I can’t say enough nice things. The boys were so well taken care of and Brittany communicates really quickly with his things are going and send pics. It was my first time using a dog sitting service and I was really nervous but she made everything really wonderful.”
“Megan was so great with my dog Oreo. She sent pictures and reassured me that things were going great. I think my dog has a new best friend with her dog. They had a wonderful play date/sleep over. I highly recommend Megan, and I know I will be working with her again.”
“Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!”

I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.
