“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals (domestic and farm) my whole life, but I enjoy dogs the most! My own pup, an 8 yr old Golden Doodle, is a friend to everyone. She is well-trained and gets along with other animals very well. I have experience giving meds, bathing, crate training, leash training and basic grooming. I occasionally cook for my pup with our dog-safe kitchen scraps and get a kick out of her excitement for her special “meal toppers”. We are a homeschool family and enjoy teaching our older kids how to care for our own animals. We are home every day of the week. I have experience doing in-house boarding and drop-in visits for dogs and I have experience doing drop-in visits for cats. Dogs are welcome inside the home so long as they are potty trained. We have a garage space that has been set up to accommodate our golden doodle and she is happy to share the space with a friend. We do have a medium/large sized kennel on site if needed as well as a a play pen. Crate trained pups are preferred but not necessary. Our yard is not fenced and we do have chickens and other poultry on the property. We have about 1.5 acres with access to a pond. Our dog runs free but visitors will be walked on a leash (or a dog run, if acceptable) to keep everyone safe. I offer boarding in a calm, structured home environment. My setup works best for dogs who are fully house-trained, comfortable settling indoors, and able to follow a predictable home routine. I prioritize a low-stress stay for both pets and people.
“Karmen was so amazing. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone who wasn’t family. She gave us a little update every day. And when our flight was delayed for pick up, it was no problem. There was lots of space for the dogs to run and play. We would definitely recommend her!”

“Ariana did an amazing job with my Sexy. She made sure to update me on her behavior, comfort level, eating and naps. I’m never gonna use anyone else to care for my dog! 🙂. Ariana is, by far, The Best.”

“A home away from home for our Mingi! They have the perfect set up! Like a doggie day care. I leave my dog with Gwen with confidence! I don't think I will ever board him with anyone else! Thanks Gwen for taking such good care of our Mingi!”


About: I've taken care of personal pets when I was a child, which would includes a turtle and a cat. Over the past 10 yrs I've watched over or checked in on family members and friends dogs and cats while they've enjoyed a vacation. Reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of varying ages, temperaments, and needs. Brings a calm, attentive, and highly responsible approach shaped by years of parenting -- to now a teen and a pre-teen, along with full-time professional experience as a crisis counselor for the Suicide & Crisis Hotline. Skilled at maintaining routines, recognizing behavioral or emotional changes, and responding thoughtfully under pressure. Committed to providing pets with a safe, nurturing, and structured environment while ensuring owners feel confident and informed. Working nights/early mornings from home, I have a lot of time to give your pets a loving environment. I have a fenced in backyard for some playtime - enclosed patio if your cat likes to get some fresh air. Pets are allowed to roam the first floor of my home. I worked my full-time job during the night from home so I am available for cuddles very often if needed. My home is quiet and calm - great for nervous animals.
“Here's a review you can use: Lizdalia was amazing with my doggies! She provided daily updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and they were so happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”

“Angel was great This was my first time at a sitter and she did very well with helping her navigate through. I felt very comfortable and that my dog was safe. Thank you so much for all of your help.”

“Langston takes excellent care of my Buddy. He is always attentive, keeps me updated with pictures. Buddy looks so happy moving around his place. I can tell he is having a wonderful time. Thanks again for keeping Buddy. I highly recommend.”

“I think Karen did an amazing job with my Cane Corso, Truman. She took care of him for a couple of days while I was graduating from college, and I had no doubts about her caring for my dog. He was super excited. She kept me updated with feedback as well as photos of him, and I think he had an amazing time while he was with her. I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

“I was a bit nervous about leaving my dogs with a sitter for the first time, but Melissa, and Chika completely put my mind at ease. She was reliable, and clearly loved animals. I got updates and pictures of my dogs every day, they were happy and healthy when I got back, I'll definitely be using, Melissa again in the future”

“My dog Paris seemed very happy in Ms Lori P.’s care. She shared a picture and gave me updates. She also was quick to ask me questions about Paris’ behaviors. I really appreciate her doing that.”

“DeAnna was amazing! I had to go out of town for a funeral so my brain was elsewhere and she was so accommodating and friendly to work with. In fact, I neglected to bring something for my pup and she made it a non-issue which was life saving! She kept me up to date and was easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Absolutely amazing. We went out of the country for our honeymoon and we had the best peace of mind leaving our dog behind. We got updates and pictures every single day and are so relieved that we have someone here to watch him in case we take another trip. We will always be returning! Thank you for everything Veronica and going above and beyond!”
