“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“David is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter with excellent communication! Mowgli had a great time during his stay and absolutely loves David. Would recommend him to anyone.”
“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”
“Edith is great and we always feel like Henry is in good hands when he stays with her. Her updates on Henry are the best! They are timely and we enjoy reading and seeing pictures while we’re away.”
“We had a great experience with Erik. We felt very comfortable leaving our first time foster dog with Erik's family. They met with us before to see if it was a good fit. He was very gracious in dealing with our situation. We would recommend Erik and would book with him again.”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”
“Paula was great! Our pup is sweet, but a lot to handle at times, and Paula took it in stride. Paula is great with communication and even sends some pictures while you’re away. Would definitely use her again!”
“Emily and her family gave our 4-month old puppy all the love and attention one can hope for when leaving a furry friend for the day. He got to play in a fenced yard with other dogs and came home nice and tired. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Fantastic! Can't recommend them enough. Our pup had so much fun, we got regular updates, and he got a REPORT CARD with lots of details at the end of his stay. Just wonderful!!”
“I was very happy with the care that Erin gave to Seneca. From the pictures and texts I received during my absence, it looked like my pup received a lot of attention. This was the first time I left my 7th-month-old pup with someone other than a family member and I was pleased with the care she was given. I would definitely use Erin's services again.”
“Amanda and Paul’s family is wonderful. I can’t say enough good things. They are loving and sweet, and experienced will all types of dogs. I felt really safe and happy to be leaving my pup in their care.”
“Tony did a great job taking care of my dog over the holiday. He sent pictures every day and I could tell Hugo was having a good time and getting his exercise playing with the other dogs in the yard.”
“Our dog is very anxious with new people and Arne was very skilled at a slow introduction and helping ease the drop off. It was really nice to get a photo, too!”
“Alexander and Hannah did a great job with Cannoli! They were flexible and understanding and tried to ensure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. I appreciated that they allowed her to sleep in the bed with them to ease her anxiety about being in a new place.”

“Shatoria was absolutely awesome! She stopped in to check on my cat Olivine while my roommate and I were away for the weekend. During our initial visit, Shatoria asked a ton of questions about Olivine and her routine, some that I hadn’t even thought to bring up, which was great. During the actual visit, she passed along lots of photos of Olivine with her update. She also took a photo of her automatic feeder so I could see how Olivine had been eating, which I appreciated. I had never hired a pet sitter before, so that came with some anxiety, but Shatoria made me confident that I was leaving Olivine in great hands! I definitely know who to come to if we ever need any more help with Olivine in the future.”
“Another wonderful weekend away knowing my fur baby is so loved and cared for. Thank you Ning! As usual, thank you for sending all the photo updates. It’s so reassuring knowing he is having fun.”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our kitties! Mckenna was wonderful throughout the whole process - it was just easy. Great communication leading up to our vacation and during. We’ve got two cats: an older one, who is a bit more shy, and a younger one, who is rambunctious and pretty friendly with strangers. Mckenna was wonderful with both. She took the time with our older one to help coax her out of her shell, and she gave our littlest one lots of play time and snuggles. She gave great, detailed report cards that included pictures each day she came over. I’d definitely book with her again!”

“Liv did a wonderful job following our house and care instructions when visiting our cat all week. All the photos and videos were greatly appreciated! Thank you for caring and loving our cat like she was your own.”

“Absolutely perfect! Really great sitter, took perfect care of my cat! Did everything asked, and sent prenty of pictures and updates. Also a very kind and communicative person!”
“Adriana is very responsible, keeping us informed about the cats and the house. When unexpected packages arrived, she brought them inside. Even our shy cat , Leela made quick friends with her. We appreciated the daily “dozen” photos.”
“Emily came in on short notice and was so helpful, friendly and kind to our kitties. She played and petted and sent lots of photos. I often feel bad leaving my pets home alone for a few days, but a meet and greet with Emily put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her.”

Absolutely will be contacting Katie again for future needs!”

She kept us up to date with pictures and information with each visit. Would definitely use her again”

Thanks Marissa!”

“Having our baby stay with David went amazing like always! We so appreciate how kind he is and how caring he is with our little girl. I've said it before, and I meant it, no one will ever watch our baby but David! Thank you!!”
About: I am a proud dog owner/parent who loves spending time with my two Frenchies. I love to have doggy friends come over and spend quality time playing, snuggling, and relaxing. I am currently doing consulting work from home in a part time basis and have a very flexible schedule. I can do doggy daycare during the week as well as some weekends. The house have a fenced backyard that is very safe for our dogs and our house is doggy proof. I have crates too if that is your preference, otherwise your pup will be inside the house with us.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free, so I am available to play and walk after 4:30pm and on weekends! I have the availability to stop home during my day to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)
“Julie did great job making me and my dog Stella Watson very comfortable from meet and greet thru 1st daycare visit. Stella had wonderful time playing with Zilla and zooming around the yard and house. Will be hoping to visit again soon!”
“Eric and Rachel took such good care of my little girl! They helped her feel comfortable and provided great pictures and updates throughout the day. So grateful for their compassion and caring personalities!”
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Jenna and her girls took such great care of Merlin! Jenna always responds in a timely manner and has a flexible schedule. I got daily picture updates on how he was doing which was much appreciated. Merlin will definitely be visiting them again! Thank you so much 😊”
“My dog had a great day at Tony’s! She was happy to be there and enjoyed playing with his pup. Tony sent pictures and updates during the day. When it was time for pick up, I could see my dog was comfortable going in and out of his house and was happy to be there. Tony answered all our questions and is easy to work with. We will be using Tony again until the future!”
“I can honestly say all 3 of my puppies loved it on their first day of daycare. I love the fact that Ruby sends and loads videos via snapchat so you can see what your fur babies are doing throughout their stay. They get socialization with other fur babies as well as people and they are always monitored by a care personnel. They are always doing something whether inside or out. I look forward to more day stays and videos. This is the place of fur fun for all. ? Thank You Ruby ?”
“Jackie took great care of Millie when we went out of town for the day. Millie had a long walk and got to play in the yard with the hose. She was all tuckered out when she came home at the end of the day.”
“Jenny felt right at home and couldn't wait to go back the second day! I'll definitely return to Paula the next time we need daycare! Communication and updates were great and very much appreciated!”
“Allison was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing Hodu was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover and I’m living in a non pet friendly apartment so I need some puppy time. I love the outdoors, so getting your dog outside is the best of both worlds for me. I also love running and would be happy to run your dog if you’d prefer that. I walked my neighbors dogs in high school and I’ve had dogs all my life. I work full time so I’m really looking for weekend gigs, but I’m also free most weekdays after 4:15. I can also do early mornings but it would have to be in Beaver Dam from 5:15-6:15 Not looking to dog sit, but I’d be happy to sit down and have a conversation with anyone who is concerned about the safety of themselves or their dogs.

“Shatoria was exceptional as a dog sitter for my pet. Being new to town, i reached out for recommendations and she totally lived up to her high praise. Big fan! Always on time and with proactive communication.”
About: I have a dog of my own that I love dearly and want other dogs to be taken care of if owners aren’t available. My life has been around dogs growing up and having to pick up their duty. I also had a job taking care of a lot of dogs for someone a few years back and I took care of them like I would my own dog, such as feeding, playing, giving fresh water, belly rubs, and making sure they’re loved. Right now I am free 24/7 and would take care of anyone’s dog as needed. I have a private life so of course I will need some breaks in between my wide availability. I will make sure your dog is fed and has fresh water. Also, take them out for fresh air and of course potty. Take them for a walk lastly.
About: I have helped my family take care of our pets almost my whole life! Since moving out I’ve had my own pets (cats and dogs). I understand the importance of giving your pet attention while you’re gone, since they could be stressed with the change in routine! I’m a farm girl at heart! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens, cows, pigs, rats, hamsters….you name it! I work from home so I’m available to spend time with your pets throughout the day! As long as I have access to Wi-Fi I can work from anywhere! I am comfortable with crate training if your pet needs it. I follow direction very well so just leave me with a detailed note on how things run and I’ll keep it as consistent as possible for your pet!
About: I’ve been house sitting and dog sitting since high school! My experience ranges from puppies to older adult dogs. Because of my schedule, I can be flexible with most requests. I do work 12 hour days, so please keep that in mind if you are needing extended visiting times. I am a nurse, so my schedule is ever changing. I will work around my days off to best accommodate drop in visits and walks. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owners are away. I provide fresh food and water, give medications if needed, clean potty areas, provide walks and playtime, and give plenty of attention and affection. I also follow the owner's instructions and routines closely and keep the home clean and secure. I treat every pet with patience and kindness and make sure they receive the same care and attention they would receive from their family.
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I enjoy spending time taking care of others. I am patient and compassionate, your pets well-being will be my #1 priority. I work part time as a CNA in a long term care facility. I am also attending college part time to purse a career in nursing. Over the years I have cared for numerous of my own cats and dogs. Simply by spending quality time with them every day, walking my dogs and cuddling with my cats. I know the importance of spending time with animals and I understand their basic everyday needs.
About: I've had a fun-filled house with dogs and cats since I was in elementary school. I've worked professionally with pets as well, such as pet dental hygienist assistant, pet store associate and birthday party tour guide, and Chewy supervisor. I'm currently looking for opportunities to help out with pets of all sizes, ages, and abilities. I'm able to provide care to your fur baby all day. I can also devote nights and weekends to them! I have three dogs who are friendly. One has anxiety, so she keeps to herself mostly, but loves to snuggle with other dogs. I keep all foods and small items off of the floor, away from curious snouts. I have a fenced area in the back yard.

Again I would highly recommend this setter.”
