“I contacted John last minute to sit for my dog in his home! He responded immediately and was very easy to communicate with. He sent daily pictures, and reassured me my dog was in good care! Definitely recommend!”

“Jinay was literally the best sitter ever!! I’m always weary about leaving my pittie with separation anxiety with someone new but she just went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to deal with it and went above and beyond with her care. She even did a training day for her and another dog!! She sent me amazing adorable pics and vid’s all throughout her stay and I could see my dog was just having the best time! So glad I chose her :)”

“Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”


“Great sitter! Catherine updated me with pictures and how he was doin daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my do with her. My Boston Terrier came home very happy after the stay. I definitely recommend her service. Thanks Catherine. See you next time!”


“Sandy is the most caring dog sitter. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my dog. Also, Sandy’s dog Lacy is a great companion for my dog Nora. Nora is always so happy to see Sandy and Lacy. Sandy responds instantly to text, sends pictures, and treats Nora as her own. Her house is dog friendly and Nora is welcome on the couch to snuggle. I feel blessed to have found such a loving sitter. Respectfully, Jennifer Pena Proce”

“Christine took good care of my pup for a day. Very communicative and provided picture updates all through the day. The spacious yard is a plus for all pups. Will definitely use again !!”


“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”

“Micheal and Lisa are the Best! 5++ Super couple who love animals. They treated our dog as part of their family. Micheal sent daily updates and pics. I had no worries while traveling knowing my pup was being well loved and cared for. Will definitely use for boarding again and again!”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I have also worked at a veterinary practice for many years as an assistant. I am currently available weekdays and weekends, early morning to late night. I can help if you need one visit or recurring visits so I am easily able to accommodate your times and needs. I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to be safe and cared for. I also have a large fenced in yard if your pet needs to be taken care of at my home. I make their safety a priority when coming to your home to take care of or walking your pet
“Alejandro took care of our Siberian husky for almost a week and we got daily updates including videos. 100% recommended he has experiences with many dog breeds, he is trustworthy, and we and our dog felt comfortable which is the most important for us. Thank you Alejandro we’ll book again!!”

About: I have 15+ years of owning my own pets (dogs, fish, birds, and hamsters) and caring for other people’s pets. I feel comfortable feeding, bathing, walking and providing any other type of care the pet needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a six-year-old son who absolutely loves animals as well, so pets staying in our home should be friendly and comfortable around children. We are a caring, animal-loving home and can’t wait to meet and care for your pets like they’re part of the family! * If you prefer kid-free home, I recommend Friday to Sunday bookings. I am home full-time, so your pets will always have love, attention, and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. I’m able to take dogs out frequently for walks and potty breaks, and our apartment complex also has a fenced area where pets can safely run around and play. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. In my home, pets will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love and affection. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while sticking to their normal routines as much as possible.
“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”

“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”

“Diana is the best to care for my dog! Always keeps me updated and send pics of her and her family showing my dog so much love! She cares for him, like he’s her own. Would use her every time!”
