“Tammy took great care of my little man! Her home is so welcoming and plenty of space for the pups to run around! I could tell he was very spoiled at her place! I'm so happy to have found a spot ill be able to take him all the time that I can trust!”



“Gus had the absolute best week ever! Debbie was fully active with him and communication was above and beyond. It was like summer camp for pups, in all the very greatest ways. Swimming, running, snuggling and hanging with some new besties! I was more than pleased with his care. I usually travel with Gus, but this was a week he couldn't come and it was even better for him. 10/10!”


About: i’ve taken care of animals since i was a kid. i have a puppy myself who ive trained and looked after since he was 9 weeks old. i have experienced with all age groups and special needs I’m available every day of the week, keep in mind i do have a job, i work 11pm to 7am, they will be able to run all round before/after im out of work! i let my puppy out to run around after i’m out of work, i usually leave the door open. he is very friendly and will make good company to yours! if your dog is not good off leash i’ll be able to work with!

About: I have 4 years of veterinary care experience along with 2 years of pet boarding experience. I own and care for several of my own animals as well! I am currently available for afternoon visits and care on week days. I have full availability on the weekends for any needs! I can also do midday pop in’s depending on location! I have 1 very friendly dog who does amazing with other animals but if your pet isn’t a fan I always have another safe space for them. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard therefore your pet will always be leashed for their safety. I will ensure we do lots of walks and playing to get their exercise!

“Thor and Lance had a wonderful afternoon with Laurie while we visited a few wineries. Laurie was very personable and greeted our pups with excitement. Responded quickly with pics when we checked in. We would definitely leave our pups in Laurie's care again when visiting the area.”


About: I’ve taken great care of dogs and cats my entire life. From puppies & kittens to older pets it has always been a great joy of mine to ensure they are receiving the best care possible. Friends and family have always relied on me to care for their pets when they are out of town or in a pinch! I currently work full time with a couple of days off a week and evenings free. I am happy to give whatever time I can to help you care for your pets. I am happy to follow your boundaries for caring for your pet and give them as much attention and care as you wish! My number one priority is making sure your pet(s) are safe and taken care of.

“My Henry LOVED her time with Sara (& Frank)! She misses them so much, the drive back to San Antonio was filled with ennui and long sighs on her behalf. I anticipate requesting their services every time we're in their neck of the woods. Sara knows how to manage and love other people's pets as if they were her own, and Henry feels so much better after her vacation.”



“I left my fur baby with Matt for a two-week span, and it couldn't have worked out better. Matt immediately connected with my pup, asked a bunch of questions about his routine and likes/dislikes, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay, sending photos and video updates of their walks and playtime. He even helped unload and set up my dog's crate, bed, and belongings! Matt is conscientious and caring, and I am so glad to have found him!! Highly recommend.”



“We are so grateful to Maxine! She took care of our pup on short notice when we had an emergency. Archie had a great time and we were relieved he was taken care of while we were away.”


About: Hello! I recently moved here from Maryland. After losing our pup in 2023, we decided to wait a bit and last year, added two new fur babies to our house. I really missed that energy in the house. I have had pets my entire life & love my fur babies. I have 3 biological children & 3 step and all of them are animal lovers too :) Having just relocated, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am very open to helping with your needs for your fur baby. I do work a full day on Tuesdays and partial day on Wednesday’s. I will be happy to follow your instructions and schedule for your pet in your home or during walks. I am very courteous of others property and would treat your Home and pet as if they were my own, if not better.

Over the years i’ve had plenty of experience caring for all breeds, ages and sizes of all animals you could think of…. I’d love to be the perfect sitter for your furry companions as well :)!

We came home to happy pets and the updates Lynn sent made us feel even more comfortable. I can highly recommend Lynn and her services.”
