“Melissa is fantastic and always does a great job with my dog! I feel very comfortable with her and she takes great care of him when I’m away. I have used her twice now and will always have her watch him moving forward as long as she is available when I need a sitter.”
“De’Aysia is wonderful! She’s very friendly, and she did a great job communicating throughout Cooper’s stay. We already have our next booking setup with her. You should do the same! You won’t be disappointed.”
“I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!”
“Lola and her family did a great job caring for Josie. She was honest, and so sweet and gentle with my furbaby. I appreciate she was flexible with a meet and greet prior to boarding. I highly recommend Lola. Convenient, reasonable and very honest.”
“September did a wonderful job with our dog Digory. It was so nice knowing he was being so well taken care of and having such a great time while we were away! She sent lots of pictures of all the fun he was having which helped our kids so much while being away from him. We would definitely ask September to host Diggy again in the future!”
“Kayla and her family made our dogs feel at home. They were well cared for, we got daily updates and pictures. I really appreciate knowing how they are while I’m gone. Our dogs were happy to see us, but went back in the house to say good bye to the family before saying good by to Kayla and her family. Thank you all for the care and love you gave our fur babies.”
“Hailey has been a life saver twice in two weeks for 2 of our dogs. She took last minute bookings and communicated the entire time with photos! The dogs came home tired which always means they had a great time. She obviously pays VERY close attention to them as well because she noticed the symptoms of my dogs UTI returning and immediately let me know and was able to give her meds. I will use her every time going forward!”
“I was looking for a new sitter….I found my previous sitter on here and she was amazing. Emily will be new sitter, she kept me updated with pics and Amaya loved being there. She truly treated her like one of her owns.”
“Great Experience, very accommodating and very flexible. i had to drop my dog after the long drive (16 hours) and he was definitely hyper but Tricia took great care of him. with all treats and great walk and some good catch fames.. will defiantly book again”
“I recently boarded my beloved dog, Coco, with Kristine, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we walked in, Kristine was welcoming and attentive, ensuring that Coco felt comfortable and at ease. Throughout Coco's stay, I received periodic updates with photos and videos that showcased her playing with other dogs, and getting plenty of cuddles from their grandson. It was evident that she was not just another pet to them; they treated her like a member of their own family.”
“Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.”
“Hector took amazing care of our dog Paganini, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He made sure Paganini got his medication on time every day and even surprised him with a new ball! We got regular updates, which gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Hector to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat your dog like family! Thank you hector! 🐶🐾”
“Fantastic! Brittany was amazing. She sent pics and videos and kept me updated throughout the entire trip. My dog really seemed to enjoy his time with her as well. Highly recommend, plan on working with her again in the future!”
“I would recommend Amanda anytime to take care of anyone’s pet, she will send you messages and photos of how your pet is doing, also picked Trapper up and brought him home all bathed and smelling nice. Thank you Amanda, for taking care of Trapper.”
About: I was a petsitter for three years in Florida walking dogs, taking care of them at home and i have had dogs since i was an adult. With that role i was trusted to be reliable, loving and kind to the animals I took care of. I am a proud dog mom to Pete and Sandi. I love them sooo much!! I have volunteered at the Ark in Lacon and I am a US Navy veteran. I work in the morning and a couple days a week in the afternoon so I'm available during the day as needed. I am also available on nights and weekends. I have a large fenced in backyard for my doggies to run free. My pets are very spoiled. They sleep in bed with me. They have a multitude of toys.
