“Mary is the best! Watched my 4 dogs, and would send multiple pictures and updates every day. All my dogs were very content while at her home. Will definitely ask Mary to take care of my dogs again!”
“Brianne was great! She treated our dog so well. I really appreciated the pictures and updates throughout her stay. We will definitely use her again in the future. I’m so thank for kind people I can trust with my pet.”
“Becky and John were great! The first night my dog had gotten very sick and they took all the right steps to ensure my little guy was taken care of. It made the stress of our trip and being away from our dogs easier knowing they were in such caring hands.”
“I highly recommend her! I had to travel out of state for an entire week, and this was a very last-minute booking that I made just a day before leaving. She was incredibly accommodating and helped me out when I was in a difficult spot. Throughout the week, she sent me daily photos and updates of my dogs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief to see them happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She also has a huge backyard where the dogs could run around and play. Every photo she sent showed them enjoying themselves, and they always looked happy and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”

“Rebooked with Bridgette for the second time and it was the best as always . Both my doggies loves coming back to their house . Bridgette is very accommodating and pleasure to talk to .”
“Jessica and her sweet family were amazing with my very timid dog. Her kids are all old enough to understand that our boxer needs to come to them. Our dog also really liked the other pets Jessica had in her home and allowed our dog to experience being around dogs considerably smaller than her. We will definitely plan to have them petsit again.”
“Erika is amazing! She has been watching our dog at a consistent basis now 😂 our dog loves going to her home. I recommend her 5/5 due to the care she has given our dog and treating him like her own.”
“They were awesome! Sent me two pictures for a one night trip. Very communicative. Our dog is anxious and they made sure to let me know he was eating well and was relaxed enough he didn't need any anxiety medicine.”
“My boys had the best time with Melissa & Roy. We were away for two weeks and we’re scared to leave them that long. Melissa sent daily pictures and updates. We will definitely have our pups stay there again in the future, they LOVED it there!”
“Terry spoils my dog in all the right ways. She LOVES staying with him, and I love the peace of mind I get knowing he has taken such good care of my fur baby every time I book with him. The photos he takes while I am out of town are so good, I would think I have booked a professional photographer! Highly recommend!”

About: I have been the go to person to watch my friend's dogs throughout my 13 years in the military. Either it be a TDY, a Deployment or just for the weekend, I've taken care of dogs for my friend's whenever they need it. I no longer work from home so any dogs that I watch will be alone from approximately 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I now work in the office full time so any dogs that I watch will be alone/kenneled from 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I am in the military and may have to leave my house for a few hours, but those appointments are far and few between and will be communicated with you when/if they occur. I have a fenced in yard. I also have 2 large female (spayed) dogs to keep your dog(s) company. If they need to be crated I can accommodate that as well. Please let me know if your dog needs any medications or special needs.

“I highly recommend her! I had to travel out of state for an entire week, and this was a very last-minute booking that I made just a day before leaving. She was incredibly accommodating and helped me out when I was in a difficult spot. Throughout the week, she sent me daily photos and updates of my dogs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief to see them happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She also has a huge backyard where the dogs could run around and play. Every photo she sent showed them enjoying themselves, and they always looked happy and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
“Yvonne was wonderful! She sent us pictures everyday and gave us regular updates of how he was doing while we were gone. And I appreciate her administering his medicine everyday. Will definitely book her again.”
“Diana took great care of my Dog Wooly and was very understanding when my car broke down out of town and I couldn’t come to get Wooly as scheduled. She updated me daily on my dog’s condition and activities and gave him his meds as I instructed. Wooly will definitely love to stay with Diana again 🐾”
“I would definitely recommend Michele as a sitter for anyone. She kept me updated all day with photos and kept my dog busy the entire time. I will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Jessica and her sweet family were amazing with my very timid dog. Her kids are all old enough to understand that our boxer needs to come to them. Our dog also really liked the other pets Jessica had in her home and allowed our dog to experience being around dogs considerably smaller than her. We will definitely plan to have them petsit again.”
“My boys had the best time with Melissa & Roy. We were away for two weeks and we’re scared to leave them that long. Melissa sent daily pictures and updates. We will definitely have our pups stay there again in the future, they LOVED it there!”
“Terry spoils my dog in all the right ways. She LOVES staying with him, and I love the peace of mind I get knowing he has taken such good care of my fur baby every time I book with him. The photos he takes while I am out of town are so good, I would think I have booked a professional photographer! Highly recommend!”
“I felt so bad about having to leave my cat with a sitter for 2 weeks but Ann put my mind at ease. She is definitely a cat person which I love and I will absolutely use her again next time I need someone to watch him!”
“Susan took very good care of my cat. She kept me informed throughout the week. My cat clearly enjoyed her "vacation". I will absolutely use Susan in the future. I highly recommend her. She does have her own dog. The dog is very well behaved and not at all aggressive. There were no interaction problems for my cat.”
“This was my first time to use a "babysitter" for my dog. I was nervous and uneasy about it because I've never been away from my dog since I got him. I'm glad I found Hugh. He is very experienced with dog care, and has a great home set up. He provided daily updates, and responded quickly to any questions or suggestions.”
About: EXPERIENCE Professional experience in the dog boarding industry as well as 39 years of constant com*paw*nionship. I've only been 2 years of my entire life without a dog. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY DOGS My dogs live inside with me! They sleep at the foot of my bed on my bed (until I've had enough and nudge them off) and are employeed full time as my indoor shadow. It's a necessary expense!!! PERSONAL HISTORY/INSIGHT I'm a die-hard loyal companion to my pups bc they are to me first! Never surrendered a single one of my pets no matter the alternative road I faced! Moved and couldnt keep my dog? Didnt move. Approved on home under terms: No Dog, my reply, "my dog and me or deal breaker". I commit whole heartedly and for LIFE! How many people can say that and it be truth? I was the little girl who got untrusting strays to follow her home which I did by singing song from the little mermaid and Andrew Lloyd webber songs. <--yes...u read that right. They have always trusted me and warmed up to me extremely easily. WISDOM/RESILIENCE Growing up...a neighborhood dog almost ended my life and guess what....I learned a lot on what NOT to do and kept the bond strong. What happened to me didn't phase me. CONCLUSION I've always preferred the company of animals over people for many reasons. But don't judge me .... HIRE me. The friendship, respect, consideration and connection I can't help is of the absolute highest caliber. Period. I work from home and am extremely active. I'm an outdoorsy rebel who loves to explore the areas off the path. Hiking is how I stay going and sane. Dogs usually go with me. I care for them by being present and constantly engaged. I notice when they are laying on the floor and don't have something soft. I know the things to look for before a fight breaks out and I also know exactly how to get them to stop that does not risk either of the dogs or myself. *INSIDE THE HOME IS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOING JUST THIS...HIS PET IS ACTUALLY IN THE PHOTOS. AND HE CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES UPON REQUEST!
