“So grateful for Tiffany! She took wonderful care of our puppy for us and we had such a peace of mind knowing that she was loved on and cared for! We will be back!”

“Cheyanne took amazing care of our fur baby! We were gone for 5 days and she frequently sent us pictures as well as updates on how he was doing. She also administered all of his daily medication and ear drops with no troubles. She was very flexible with our schedule and responded to our messages very quickly. We highly reccomend her to anyone and will deffinately book her again in the future!”


“I left my elderly dog with Brenda and am very pleased! This was my first time ever leaving her with someone I didn’t previously know, so I was nervous about it! Brenda, however, was awesome and took great care of her. She sent a lot of pictures and updates and stayed in communication with me consistently. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

“Kari and her family are so wonderful! They took such a great care of our baby while we were traveling for a while. Kari is also very accommodating. We are so thankful that we found Kari and her family as caregivers for Tofu.”

“Alliyah was wonderful. She handled my 6 mo puppy great! Lovey became part of the family, she’s very social dog so that made me really happy. Her communication was consistent and very appreciated by me. Please do yourself and your pet a favor - call Alliyah!”

“Accommodated our last min plans, and took great care of our toy poodle. Wendy D sent pictures/videos of Hershey enjoying playing in her fenced in back yard, lounging on the couch and going on walks.”

“Layna and the family have always taken great care of my two fur babies. This time is no exception. Especially since one of my pups had to be given medications twice a day by syringe. She handled it like a champ especially since this was a last minute notification. She is my favorite sitter and she will always be my first choice. Highly recommended!!”

“All of Jody’s reviews live up to the hype! I was so worried about someone new watching my dog with separation anxiety, but he didn’t even want to leave! My dogs love Jody, and I see why. She truly cares about the quality of their stay. Thank you so much Jody!”

“Joleen was amazing. We are new to the neighborhood and needed someone to watch our dog for an evening. Joleen was kind and our dog took to her instantly. She listened to our care instructions and within a few minutes of leaving our dog with her, she sent us a picture to show how happy our pup was. When we came to pick him up, he was happy (and exhausted from all the running he did in her yard!). We would definitely recommend Joleen. Was an amazing experience.”

“My husband and I have 100% confidence in Chantal. She always provides great updates, is very flexible around drop off and pick up times— which is especially important when a train or a flight is delayed — and our dogs are treated as if they are her own, with lots of snuggling and play time. We have no anxieties about them while we’re gone. Highly recommended!”

“Emily took wonderful care of our dog, Sunday. We weren’t sure what to expect at first, but her thoughtful updates quickly put us at ease. She was compassionate and attentive, especially given Sunday’s background as a shelter rescue, and made sure she felt safe and loved — complete with plenty of belly rubs. We would gladly book with Emily again and highly recommend her to other families.”

“Aquilla agreed to board my dad’s 18-year-old dog when dad had a medical emergency. She responded quickly and I knew from the moment I chatted with her, that she would take amazing care of Charlie. And she did just that, above and beyond. I’d recommend Aquilla wholeheartedly.”


About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”

“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”


About: Lifelong dog lover with 11 years of hands-on experience raising and training high-energy sporting dogs for competition. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, training reinforcement, and providing a safe, structured environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, attention, or just a calm place to relax, I treat every pup like my own. As I near retirement, I have the flexibility and availability to provide attentive, in-home care for your dog. Your pet will enjoy a calm, consistent environment with plenty of time for exercise, supervision, and companionship giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog will have plenty of space to enjoy, with a large fenced yard and access to 144 acres of farmland for safe, supervised nature walks. I offer both indoor kennels and covered outdoor kennels with four private runs, providing comfort, security, and flexibility to meet each dog’s needs.

“Falen was so responsive and very careful to read everything in Makka’s profile and to make sure it was the best match for her it could be. Dani was the person home, and she was so warm and friendly and knows a ton about dogs. Even though my baby had an atypical reactive moment when she first met her puppy playmate, Dani wasn’t phased at all, and coached me on how to proceed. “That’s very normal,” she said, and within 30 seconds - 1 minute, Makkachin realized she had a friend and was her usual friendly, playful self! The had a BLAST running around their expansive backyard with her nee puppy friend, and Dani was very attentive. When I came to pick Makka up, Dani brought her right to the door, leashed up and bag packed. She said Makka did a great job and welcomed us back any time. We’ll definitely use them again soon!”

“This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!”

“Cheyanne took amazing care of our fur baby! We were gone for 5 days and she frequently sent us pictures as well as updates on how he was doing. She also administered all of his daily medication and ear drops with no troubles. She was very flexible with our schedule and responded to our messages very quickly. We highly reccomend her to anyone and will deffinately book her again in the future!”

“Alliyah was wonderful. She handled my 6 mo puppy great! Lovey became part of the family, she’s very social dog so that made me really happy. Her communication was consistent and very appreciated by me. Please do yourself and your pet a favor - call Alliyah!”

“All of Jody’s reviews live up to the hype! I was so worried about someone new watching my dog with separation anxiety, but he didn’t even want to leave! My dogs love Jody, and I see why. She truly cares about the quality of their stay. Thank you so much Jody!”

“Joleen was amazing. We are new to the neighborhood and needed someone to watch our dog for an evening. Joleen was kind and our dog took to her instantly. She listened to our care instructions and within a few minutes of leaving our dog with her, she sent us a picture to show how happy our pup was. When we came to pick him up, he was happy (and exhausted from all the running he did in her yard!). We would definitely recommend Joleen. Was an amazing experience.”

“Emily took wonderful care of our dog, Sunday. We weren’t sure what to expect at first, but her thoughtful updates quickly put us at ease. She was compassionate and attentive, especially given Sunday’s background as a shelter rescue, and made sure she felt safe and loved — complete with plenty of belly rubs. We would gladly book with Emily again and highly recommend her to other families.”

“Aquilla agreed to board my dad’s 18-year-old dog when dad had a medical emergency. She responded quickly and I knew from the moment I chatted with her, that she would take amazing care of Charlie. And she did just that, above and beyond. I’d recommend Aquilla wholeheartedly.”


About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”

“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life. I used to own a black lab named chance. When I was young, we took care of him and took him on walks. He was a very shy dog that we rescued. When I got older. I got a bichon her name is Lime. We’ve had her for 18 years now and she is a blessing to my life. We Walker go runs with take her to the groomers vets and much more to make sure that she is safe and having the best life she can. I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)
