“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”
“Anna did an amazing job with my 3 babies!! She gave me daily updates and her mom even came by during the day to help take them out. This is our 3rd time using her & we will continue to do so!”
“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”
“Niara is amazing with my dog (100 lb lab mix) and has been a repeat booking for long weekends when I’m out of town. Niara always sends photos and videos of my dog while I’m gone and makes me feel very secure that my dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend her services enough!!”
“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”
“Zoe was awesome. 10/10 definitely would recommend. She sent updates on my pup and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. She stayed at my house with Beau and left my home exactly as she found it. I can't say enough great things. Beau has found a new best friend and can't wait til she comes and stays with him again!”
“Nina took great care of my 3 fur babies in our home for a few days. She sent photos and kept us posted on how they were doing, medications, etc. Really appreciate her attentiveness and communication.”
“Julie was so wonderful with our dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos and we could tell she sincerely cared for her. We will definitely book again with Julie and can highly recommend her.”
“Emma is great! She met with us prior to our trip to meet our dogs to see if it would be a good fit. She communicated with us while we were away. We came home to clean home and happy dogs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.
“Tina was amazing! We have two dogs and a cat and they just loved her! So helpful to know someone you trust is at your home caring for them while you are away. Sends lots of great photos too :)”
About: I have a miniature bernedoodle that is my baby. I love all dogs and I have no met a dog that I do not get along with. I make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before any interaction. I am a very upbeat and bubbly person who enjoys walks and exercise! I am an early bird so I do not mind getting anywhere early. During the week, I am at the gym early in the am and then take my dog to my parents to play with their dog a few times a week. I talk my walk just about everyday of the week and it’s a great thing to do for both of us and we both enjoy it. In the evenings, I try to talk her for another walk if I can when the weather is nice. Most evenings, I am home and playing with my own dog. I plan on offering potty breaks and dog walking. I really make sure that the pets are taken care of and have all they need. For my own dog, when she stays at home by herself a couple times a week, I make sure she has toys and a radio on so it’s not dead silence. As soon as I get home, I take her out and play with her outside and get her to run out her wiggles.
About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.
About: I grew up in the country taking care of animals. I own my own dog and cat. I have over 15 years experience caring for animals. I have open availability. I am available for walks and drop ins at anytime and am available for overnight sitting. I am an early riser and am up around 4 am every day. I believe routine is vital to your pet’s life. I will also follow your instructions completely and work with your needs. I believe pets our part of the family and treat them as such.

Mason M.
“I can’t recommend Mason highly enough when it comes to dog care. From the very first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and understands their needs. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately—a true testament to Mason’s calm and caring nature. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just spending time keeping my pup company, Mason goes above and beyond. He’s reliable, communicative, and always treats my dog like his own. I never have to worry when my dog is in Mason’s care, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about dogs, Mason is the one!”
