“Destinee is amazing. Our high energy dog has stayed with her twice and she's been so great with him! We feel completely comfortable with her and never have to worry about our dog when we are gone.”


“I am so glad to have found Rachel and her family to take care of Sunny. They took such great care of her, sent me frequent updates and photos, were able to administer her medications, and gave her the attention and love that made her feel like their house is her home away from home. I would highly recommend Rachel and will definitely rebook with her when my next trip comes up.”


“Really fantastic experience. Gwen and family were friendly and accommodating. Great location and amazing fenced in backyard. They took very good care of my pup. I could tell she had been well taken care of, but one thing I especially loved is that she crashed hard when we got home from her time with Gwen and fam. I know that means she got good exercise and activity. With my boxer pup, tired means she's been having fun! I will definitely use Gwen and family again.”


“Very pleased with the communication and pictures and love that they gave Henry while they had him definitely makes it nice being able to travel without the worry if the dog is OK or not highly recommend we will definitely keep using them !”



“We are so happy to have found Nichole and her family for our dogs - they will do whatever they can to cater to your animals individual needs. You guys are awesome and thank you for doing all you do!!”


“My Mack had an amazing time with Kristens pups and family. She took great care of my boy especially with the medication he has been taken and keeping me updated with it. I loved getting all the photos and videos of my pup playing in the snow or just taking a snooze. Mack will definitely be back!”


About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.

“Sarah was excellent! Great communication throughout Gambit’s stay, he settled in nicely and I had no worries while we were out of town. Will definitely book her whenever we need a sitter!”


“Victoria took amazing care of our dog, Mackey! She sent me lots of updates and photos which I loved. He came home happy and healthy. He is only 1.5, so very much still a puppy, so I am thankful for her patience with him. We will definitely use her again!”


“Valerie is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog Louie while I was away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. She kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. Louie can be a bit high-energy, but Valerie handled him with so much patience and care. I can’t recommend Valerie enough! If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter, she’s the one. Louie and I are so grateful to have found her!”



“Mary Jane is the best! My 6 year old dog couldn’t be happier going to her wonderful home. I love the consistent updates Mary Jane provides that usually includes photos. I would highly recommend booking with her.”



“Wonderful experience! My dog is anxious and shy with with new people and Christine knew exactly what to do and adjust. My baby loved it there! Got frequent pictures and updates! Definitely will use her again!”

“Joshua and Kate were so reliable and took care of our babies! We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Also made us feel good to get pictures/videos of them playing ☺️”


“We were so happy with the care given to our little pup when we were gone! Emily was so good about reaching out, updating us, and sending us pictures! We have never used Rover before and this was a great first experience! We will definitely keep Emily in mind for watching our dogs in the future!”


“Tameka took our dogs in last minute for boarding and we could not have asked for a better experience. She made sure they were accomodated, took them for plenty of walks, and sent pictures and updates often. We so appreciate Tameka and her service!”


“Kelli watched our two dogs over Christmas for us. It was our puppies first time being away from us and Kelli went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. She was timely in keeping us updated every day with texts and pictures and easing our minds that our dogs where dong great! Highly recommended!”

“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”


About: I consider my home to be your pup's vacation home!! He/she will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I have housebroken puppies and have cared for senior dogs as well. Our routine and daily schedules are all built around our dogs. I do ask that they be crate trained but would never be in them for more than 4-5 hours. I have three cats and three dogs. (A senior boston terrier and 2 chihuahuas), all of which are accustomed to having new furry friends in their home. While we do have a fenced in yard, I never leave my dogs outside alone, when they go outside, I go outside with them. They all sleep in my bed and are always allowed on furniture.
