“This was Gatsby’s second time staying with Edith and he had a blast. The second we pulled up to Edith’s house he lost his mind with excitement realizing where we were! Edith sent frequent updates and photos and I knew Gatsby was getting the best care. Thanks Edith!”
“Jesse was awesome with Ollie! He gave him lots of snuggles and walks which Ollie loved. Jesse also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay which I appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin and Bruce (and their kids) took amazing care of my dog for the week he was with them! They took him on walks and to school pickup, sent the sweetest photos and helpful updates, and were just incredibly pleasant and helpful throughout. My dog came home happy, tired, and well loved and I am so appreciative for all the effort they put in to make that happen!”
“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”
“Stefanie and her family were so loving to my little dog Dolly! I cant say enough about how accommodating they were while I was away in Arizona for the week. I highly recommend them for your pups dog sitting needs! Will be using them again in the future for sure. Dolly sure does miss them all!”
“My pup, Toby, had an awesome time staying with Sarah and her pup!!! She took him out for walks multiple times a day, plus a quick run, which is perfect for my high energy puppy. She kept me updated through out the weekend with texts and pictures. Sarah, you were amazing! Thank you again for taking care of the Tobe-master!”
“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”
“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!!”
About: I have a dog of my own and I’ve done boarding, drop ins and walks before. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have watched family friends dogs numerous amounts of times. I currently work full time (8-4:30) during the week, but can do evenings on week days and any time during weekends! I am very flexible and can make anything work! I can abide by whatever schedules/routines you have in place. If your dog likes to socialize, my dog would be a great buddy! I understand dogs need to follow certain rules and need to be let out/fed in a timely manner.
“Tony was really great with my puppy, Pico! Was very communicative of the other dogs that would be at his house and sent regular updates of Pico having a great time! Would definitely bring Pico back in the future!”
“This was the first time my 6 now Boston and I were apart for multiple days. I knew immediately upon entering Lindsay’s home that it is a loving place. Her extensive experience with dogs is obvious. I appreciated the fact that Birdy would be exposed to other dogs, the outdoors and cuddles. Lindsay communicated appropriately: enough that I was confident Birdy was well but not so much that I was overly involved. YES! I highly recommend. We love Camp Lindsay. BEYOND THAT: my flight was cancelled for 3 days due to weather and Lindsay was flexible in fitting us in. Then, our return flight was delayed so I got back to town past bedtime. Lindsay was again cheerfully understanding. What a kind person!”
“We had a great experience with Maria watching Parker! She sent daily updates, texts, and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel like he was getting the same love and attention he gets at home. Parker was very well taken care of and seemed to settle right in. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive throughout his stay. We would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with Parker again!”
“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”
“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Christine was amazing for Charley! We were able to meet before hand and get the dogs accustomed to one another and she was incredible at keeping in touch with me while he was with her. He came home SO tired and even seems to walk better on a leash. Maybe he's still tired. =) Anyway - I'll be booking with Christine again for sure. Charles loved his little vacay. ”
“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”
“I am so glad we chose Cleda to watch our sweet girl Coda during our week-long trip. I was so nervous to leave her, as she is a shy, anxious pup and this was her first time away from us since we adopted her. But from Cleda's first picture update less than an hour after we dropped her off, I could tell Coda was in the best hands and already comfortable with Cleda. We so appreciated Cleda's daily updates and we felt like we could really tell Coda was enjoying her stay and what she was up to. We definitely plan to return to Cleda for all future dog-sitting needs, and we know our pup will be so happy about that! Thanks Cleda & Roxie!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!”
“She was very understanding, kind, and caring. She followed all of my instructions carefully and took wonderful care of Chuuchuu while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing Chuuchuu was in such good hands. Thank you so much for all your help and care—I truly appreciate everything you did!”
“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”
“Miah did a great job taking care of our senior kitty, Miss Sophie. She was prompt, reliable, detail oriented, and readily asked questions which I appreciate. She took care of extras like getting our mail and washing up Sophie’s dishes. She spent time getting to know Sophie and Sophie sensed that she was a cat lover. Thank you Miah!”
“Cloey was such a great sitter for my cat, Gloria! She sent me so many pictures of her each day, and gave me a thorough description of all the fun things they got up to while she was there! I will definitely be reaching out to Cloey again when Gloria needs a sitter!”
“I appreciate the care Peyton provided for my two cats when we were away. I indicated they enjoyed spend time on screened porch, and photos indicate they got that time at each Peyton visit. The reports were detailed and professional, and photos cute and reassuring.”
“Eric was warm and gentle caring for Cocoa. He was thoughtful and diligent to make sure he had everything he’d need to offer the best care. Will definitely book with him again. Thanks Eric!”
“We absolutely love Stina! She takes amazing care of our boys and treats them like her own. It gives us such peace of mind, especially when working overnight shifts, knowing they’re in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and genuinely caring—she makes everything so much easier for us. Highly recommend!”
About: My whole life I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, having 3 different dogs and 10 cats over the years. I’ve been one of the main caretakers in my family of our pets. Walking, feeding, bathing, and cutting nails are examples of some of the things I’ve grown up doing for our pets. I worked in a veterinary clinic for the past year and I will be a first year student in veterinary school starting this fall. I’m entirely free this summer until classes start! Once the fall hits and I start veterinary school my availability will become more limited but as of now I’m super free. I use extreme care for any animals I’m taking care of and I’m a very attentive person to their needs and what they want and enjoy. I have a lot of experience with taking care of dogs and cats from growing up with pets, volunteering, and working in veterinary clinic. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge on how to properly care for your pet whether that be in a home or on a walk. I have a huge passion for animals and always pour so much love into any pet that is around me and under my care.
“Jordan took great care of our cats while we were away! She was super dependable and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She must be a cat whisperer to get our shy cat to come out and play!”
About: Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes. I work remotely. My office is where the WIFI is the strongest. I have time to spend with animals. My children are grown leaving me with an abundance of free time Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.
“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”

“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”
“Kristin and Bruce provided exceptional daycare services. My senior dog initially had anxiety being in a different home. Kristen and Bruce were very attentive and made her feel comfortable.”
“We used to have Leonardo stay in his crate while we were at work, but we knew he deserved something better. After looking through several profiles, Jamie really stood out. Once we read more about her, we felt confident Leo would have an amazing time with her and her dogs. Now he comes home completely tired and even falls asleep in the car, which says everything! Jamie is so kind and welcoming. we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him. We would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Jamie, for treating Leo like your own while we’re at work!”
“Gen is great and super reliable 🥰! She watches our 2 younger ones (because the one is destructive and the other one has anxiety™️️) and they are always tired at the end of the day 😊. I would absolutely recommend Gen.”

“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”
“Christine was awesome. She took a late booking and looked after Ollie for the day. She sent updates, photos and made sure she was a good fit before her stay. Will book again”

About: I am a previous dog owner and current cat mom. I grew up watching dog and cat training shows on TV and going to in person purebred dog and cat show events. I enjoy spending my time with furry friends. I'm a in-home caregiver to my mom so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. I have weekly events on Sundays and Wednesdays, but can easily work around those times. I have a long line for when your pet is outside and lots of patio seating to supervise and play with your pet the whole time. I also have a crate for indoor use.

“This was our first experience leaving our dogs at day care. We were nervous, but everything went great. Evelyn took wonderful care of them, took every nuance into consideration (one of our dogs is still a puppy), was always in touch and sent us cute pictures. The dogs came home stress free. Definitely recommended and we will be back again.”
“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.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Most recently, I’ve cared for our own dog for the past 13 years, giving me experience with every stage of life—from energetic puppy years to the special needs of senior dogs. In addition to caring for our own pets, I’ve welcomed dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors into our home.

Your dog will be treated like part of our family in our clean, smoke-free home.

My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always someone around during the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, and attention. In the evenings, our family is typically home together, so visiting dogs become part of our daily life and receive plenty of love and interaction. We understand how important consistency is for dogs and do our best to maintain their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether your dog enjoys playing in our fenced yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with people nearby, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay. We treat every dog as if they were our own and strive to make their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences before their stay. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special care your dog may need. In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They have plenty of supervised time indoors, access to our fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and lots of attention throughout the day. We provide a clean, smoke-free, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax with people nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and companionship they need.

“Stina is extremely pleasant. She replied to my request quickly and was so easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet because my dog can be reactive at times. My dog took to her right away. It was obvious Stina had experience with animals. The next day she took her on a walk and it went great! We will definitely be using her services in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Sara was incredible and patient walking with our 8 year old GD. Our doggy is big in the outside but little in the inside and Sara treated her with such gentleness. Highly recommend Sara as a dog walker.”
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”
“Donna took such good care of my 4-month old puppy and even sent photos to show me he was happy and having fun! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so grateful to Donna for making this a great experience. I highly recommend her.”
“Makayla generously agreed to walk our dog on short notice. She took great care of my 105 lb Great Dane mix, communicated with us very clearly, and was flexible when I needed to swing by to meet a contractor while she was at the house. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have experience working at a dog daycare, (Dana’s Dog Spa and Daycare in Hutchinson, MN) where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, cleaning, and making sure each dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also spent many years caring for the pets of friends and family, providing reliable cat and dog sitting while they were away and regularly walking their dogs. I’ve always looked forward to spending time with them, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! I am available mornings (7am - 10:30 am) and evenings (4pm - 11 pm) on M, T, TH, and F. And I am available most weekends as I’m a college student, but I do not have a car on campus so I will be walking or taking the bus! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I care for each and every pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, prioritize safety on every walk and visit, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child, primarily Labs. I walk for exercise and would love to have your dog along. I’m a travel RN not on contract so my schedule is wide open. I drive to Madison daily to workout so I can easily exercise your pets at your convenience. I only offer walking services at the moment. I will ensure that your pet is safe from traffic and other animals. I will treat them as my own.
About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!
About: I'm a genuine animal lover who treats every home and pet as if they were my own. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra care, a shy pup who takes time to warm up, or a small apartment with a feisty terrier — I show up prepared, patient, and attentive. My priority is making sure your pets are happy and your home is respected, so you can travel with real peace of mind. I welcome meet-and-greets beforehand, communicate throughout the stay, and always leave your home just as I found it. Pet sitting is my primary focus when I take a sit — I'm not squeezing it in around a busy schedule. Your pets get my full attention, not leftover time. I stay in your home for the full sit, keeping your pets in their own space with their familiar routines, smells, and comfort. No disruption, no transport — just consistent care in the environment they already trust.
About: Pets bring us all kinds of joy and unconditional love. It's hard to relax on vacation or focus on an event with a piece of you missing . Be able to be present and ease your mind knowing another caring soul will show your pet the same love and attention they enjoy. I have 10 years of experience with all different breeds and sizes.

My children are grown leaving me with an abundance of free time Soft voices and lots of love and attention. Dogs I like to run and make sure that they have the exercise they need. Plenty of tug of war! Social cats I give lap time and bring a feather.
About: My pet-sitting experiences include looking after both cats and dogs day to day and for extended periods of time. When taking care of cats, I make sure they have clean water and food at all times; keep their environment clean; watch over them and see if they are healthy; and interact with them by playing with them on a daily basis. I also have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. Making sure their fed, walked, groomed, and cleaning up any messes/ their environment. In addition always making sure they have access to clean drinking water and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I occasionally take care of a family friend’s dog who has arthritis. I help keep her comfortable through gentle massages, giving her medication as directed, and hand-feeding her when necessary. In doing so, I learned to be patient and attentive in caring for an animal's individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I always go the extra mile into taking good care of animals, ensuring their safety, and comfort in the absence of their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and doing everything I can to ensure their happiness. I am extremely flexible with regards to my schedule, and can be available for the most part of the day. I wake up early, so feeding and taking the animals for walk won't be a problem at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I value their safety, trust, and maintaining a calm and familiar environment for their pet. It is important for me to carefully follow all the instructions concerning their feeding schedule, treatment, taking medication, and other specific care. It goes without saying that I make sure that the pets receive proper meals and have clean water to drink. I also try to keep the house as clean as possible, including litter boxes for cats and any messes that may occur. I also observe the pets to ensure everything seems normal and they’re healthy. I believe that building trust with both pets and owners is essential, I’ll always provide them with updates and photographs about the current condition of the pets. My goal is to make sure their pet is cared for and mostly importantly happy.
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always had at least two dogs, usually 3. We also have 3 indoor-outdoor cats. I am now a student at UW Madison, and I have a 5yr old heeler shepherd mix. Throughout her life I have trained her for obedience and herding, and have dealt with low confidence and reactivity with her daily. I am experienced with dogs who are shy and tend to be reactive. I have a part time internship at UW Madison, so I have partially and completely free days every week. That being said, I will have plenty of time to make house visits around this schedule. I have experience training dogs and love hanging out with any breed of dog. I believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be fulfilled.
About: I have a dog of my own and I’ve done boarding, drop ins and walks before. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have watched family friends dogs numerous amounts of times. I currently work full time (8-4:30) during the week, but can do evenings on week days and any time during weekends! I am very flexible and can make anything work! I can abide by whatever schedules/routines you have in place. If your dog likes to socialize, my dog would be a great buddy! I understand dogs need to follow certain rules and need to be let out/fed in a timely manner.
About: My name is Rebecca and I’m an animal lover and protector. I also dog walk for Wag! Pet care and have 9 years of professional dog walking experience, I’m looking for more furry friends to care for as it’s my favorite hobby. In my spare time I love to spend time with family and friends. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and helped care for puppy litters as well. You will love my dedication to making your pet happy, I love playing outdoors with pets and enjoying nature. I have lots of experience doing hour+ long dog walks/runs (Would love to run with your dog!!). I can’t wait to meet your fur-baby! 🐾 Happy to provide testimonials & do a meet and greet! I have two amazing cats and a dog, and do dog walks 4-5 days of the week. I'm looking to add more walks to my schedule! Rain or shine, I can help! I am able to board up to one small dog in our current apartment, and would be happy to provide references. I prefer housesitting where pets are allowed on furniture ☺️
About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I take pride in providing peace of mind for people during their travel. I have 30+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have a friendly dog that loves to host guests. He adapts his play style to each dog; if they want to run around, he wants to be chased. If they don’t feel like playing, he will give space. Like many resident male dogs, he often feels uncomfortable with large breed adolescent males, particularly intact. I will make decisions on a case by case basis regarding adolescent males. I do require dogs be crated when unattended in my home for their safety and comfort. We can discuss your dog’s unique needs. Please be sure your animals are up to date on vaccinations and preventative meds (flea/tick and heartworm). What can I offer? I can board your dog (or pet!) at my home or do home visits. I’m experienced in smalls like cats, pocket pets, and birds. I have even cared for people’s hobby farms (horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, etc). I have a fenced yard. I’ve adopted 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues and fostered many other breeds so I’m used to handling all types of dogs, including those who need a little time to settle in. I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack”, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog, two small kids and two teen step daughters. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. I won’t book a dog if they aren’t a good match for someone already booked. For home visits. My 2 littles tag along with me. Unless I can get my partner to take them after work hours. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. My home has backyard access with a fence (4 foot tall chain link and 6 foot tall privacy fence along the road side). If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/raised over 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues with dogs getting loose or scuffling. Sitting in your home: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty. I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard and spend some time with them in your home.

“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”
“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!!”
About: I have a dog of my own and I’ve done boarding, drop ins and walks before. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house and have watched family friends dogs numerous amounts of times. I currently work full time (8-4:30) during the week, but can do evenings on week days and any time during weekends! I am very flexible and can make anything work! I can abide by whatever schedules/routines you have in place. If your dog likes to socialize, my dog would be a great buddy! I understand dogs need to follow certain rules and need to be let out/fed in a timely manner.
“Tony was really great with my puppy, Pico! Was very communicative of the other dogs that would be at his house and sent regular updates of Pico having a great time! Would definitely bring Pico back in the future!”
“This was the first time my 6 now Boston and I were apart for multiple days. I knew immediately upon entering Lindsay’s home that it is a loving place. Her extensive experience with dogs is obvious. I appreciated the fact that Birdy would be exposed to other dogs, the outdoors and cuddles. Lindsay communicated appropriately: enough that I was confident Birdy was well but not so much that I was overly involved. YES! I highly recommend. We love Camp Lindsay. BEYOND THAT: my flight was cancelled for 3 days due to weather and Lindsay was flexible in fitting us in. Then, our return flight was delayed so I got back to town past bedtime. Lindsay was again cheerfully understanding. What a kind person!”
“We had a great experience with Maria watching Parker! She sent daily updates, texts, and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel like he was getting the same love and attention he gets at home. Parker was very well taken care of and seemed to settle right in. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive throughout his stay. We would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with Parker again!”
“Christine was amazing for Charley! We were able to meet before hand and get the dogs accustomed to one another and she was incredible at keeping in touch with me while he was with her. He came home SO tired and even seems to walk better on a leash. Maybe he's still tired. =) Anyway - I'll be booking with Christine again for sure. Charles loved his little vacay. ”
“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”
“Ann was amazing! We have a pup that has some tricky behavior issues and she handled them like a professional. She was easy to work with and super accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“Heather and her family welcomed Darcy back to their home with open arms. She sent photos of Darcy throughout her stay so we could see how she was doing. She looked so happy and comfortable in their home. This was her second stay and we’ve already booked another. We are so grateful to have found this home away from home for Darcy!”
“Grace took great care of our golden retriever. She stayed in touch and sent little updates with photos about the days events. I would be happy to work with Grace again anytime.”
“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”
“It is always a great feeling when we have to leave our dogs with Michelle and her family. We know they are in good hands and get treated like family when they are staying at their house. The daily updates and picture are so appreciated.”
