1. Beth S.

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Beth. I went away leaving my dogs for the first time not with family. Not only did she go above and beyond caring for them but I could see in all the photos she provided that my dogs were loved and happy. She has extensive knowledge of dogs and knows what is healthy for them and what isn’t. She even taught me many things I didn’t know but needed to know. Upon return you could tell that my dogs missed their Auntie Beth. If and when we go away again I will make sure it is only when Beth is avaliable!”


2. Mary R.

“Mary exudes dependabilty to me and a calm & loving spirit to my dogs. My dogs are seniors on medication and she was able to follow their medication schedule. She sent us pictures while we were away. The dogs loved her from their first meeting and we now look forward to planning a future trip knowing we have reliable pet care.”


3. Rosie P.

“Took great care of my babies”


4. Rebecca K.

“Rebecca was fantastic! She rescued us on very short notice when our kennel was full. She sent lots of pictures of our dog cuddling up with her all weekend, so I know he was very comfortable with her and enjoyed having her stay with him. She went above and beyond by washing the sheets and taking out the trash. Will definitely use her again and I highly recommend Rebecca.”


5. Emily W.

“Emily was a great pet sitter for our two large puppy dogs, a 1.5 yo husky mix and a 8 mo GSD. She clearly has a lot of experience and love for animals. Emily was very attentive to my instructions and our dogs warmed right up to her! She was prompt to respond to my texts and sent pictures of the dogs playing. We are all looking forward to having Emily pet sit again soon.”


6. Benton B.
“Ben watched my cat while I was out of town and did a phenomenal job! My cat is a bit needy and requires daily medication, but Ben did a great job at accommodating and meeting all of my cats needs. He is a very trustworthy person and genuinely loves animals. I know he will take care of your pet like it was his own!”


7. Elizabeth T.

“Elizabeth was great and we would highly recommend her. She took very good care of our little dog and also looked after our plants. She provided photos and was easy to communicate with while we were gone.”


8. Kelsey S.
“Kelsey is a wonderful dog sitter. The first time Kelsey came to watch our pups, My boyfriend and I, we were nervous because we didn’t know how it was gonna go. She sent us pictures of everything from them going potty and to them eating their food. She also made sure to keep us updated on them when she was watching them. Our pups love Kelsey. Every time we tell them she is coming to watch them, they get so excited and start wagging their tails and going to the door to greet her. My boyfriend and I would highly recommend Kelsey to watch your fur babies.”


9. Stacy S.

“Stacy always takes good care of my boys!”


10. Harley H.
“Harley would be an amazing caregiver for your fur babies. Not only having the experience of caring for her 3 adorable dogs, she worked many years at the shelter for homeless animals - feeding, walking, nail trims, medical needs etc. Harley was there. My 2 dogs love Harley, especially when I go on vacation because they get all her attention. Harley has great work ethic and very detail oriented. You won't have to worry about your animals when they are in her care.”


11. Julie H.

“Julie was so great with both of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent frequent updates and pictures and we felt so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands!”


12. kiara s.
About: I have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family for years. I enjoy caring for them and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently work remotely for work one day a week. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can work closely with the schedule your pet maintains at their home. Though I work full time, I am allowed breaks and conduct visits or walks before or after work, and also during my lunch break. Weekends my availability is open and I can accommodate more easily. I have a back patio but the door does not close. I live beside the greenway trail and live a couple of feet away from the dog park if your furry pups would like some play mates. I am very open to instruction, and will treat them like my own within your household.


13. Mafe R.

14. Christina D.

“We had a 4 night vacation and Came back to my fur children and home like we never left. I appreciate the quick responses and will be reaching out again for next trip.”


15. Cherie K.
“Cherie is an awesome and kind person and a super pet sitter. My 15 year old dog, Carlo, comes with extra responsibility and it’s such a relief to know that when I’m traveling for work he is so well taken care of by a human that he clearly adores! I would recommend Cherie’s services to anyone. She is responsible, flexible, caring, and trustworthy. Carlo cozied up to her instantly and when I get home from trips he isn’t anxious or panicked because he’s felt safe the entire time because of Cherie’s care and attention.”


16. Amy S.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 14. I’ve been pet Mom to cats, dogs, fish and hampsters. My current pet is a dog and she has been in my life for 16 years. I’m kind, reliable and trustworthy. I currently work part time so I have the needed time to care for your pets. I am committed to being open and honest. I want all persons and pets to be comfortable. Taking care of your pet is important to you and to me. I’m always willing to learn your pets routines and will always ask questions to ensure your pets needs are met. I value your trust and will do as asked in your home, respecting your privacy and requests.


17. John V.
About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for by an experienced Dog Dad! I have a spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 1x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. Bh default, booked Pups do not leave the home during their stay unless I have an exclusive conversation with pet parents. If you want your pup to go to the dog park with Mac, you have to ask, otherwise for safety they will be bound to the living quarters of my home. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special needs please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

“Rachel was wonderful! She kept us updated about our cat and sent us pictures several times a day. When we arrived home, our house was cleaner than when we left it. I would highly recommend her.”


19. Allison V.

“Allison was very accommodating when we had to redo our booking and took care of everything. Our Allie was her usual happy self when we returned thanks to Allison's care. She even brought a toy for Allie! Will certainly use again if needed.”


20. Ashlee R.

“Ashlee was amazing with our two Danes. She was very responsive and provided timely updates. It was wonderful to know Ashlee was available and present while we were out of town!”
