“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”

“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”

“Our older dog had more fun staying with Maria and Nayibe than he has in a long time! They were wonderful about making sure he got his medication and lots of love. We will definitely bring him back.”


“Lauren is so amazing! Winter has very bad separation anxiety and we are always nervous everytime we leave him. It’s our first time to leave winter with Lauren but she did a very good job! She is very professional, updates us about Winter and most of all she is very passionate about taking care of dogs especiallys with dogs with separation anxiety and that made Winter feel very comfortable and enjoyed his stay with her. Winter had a lot of walks with her and he even made his way into the couch to sit with her. Plus he ate his food and treats and allowed Lauren to wipe his paws after walks. This is very unusual with Winter because he doesnt trust easily especially with someone whom he just met. But this made us think he was so comfortable with Lauren and he was happy with her. We are also happy knowing that Winter was well taken care of and we had a stress free short out of town trip. Thank you Lauren and Noah. We are so grateful for your help ❤️🙏🏻 highly recommended!”

“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”

“Thanks for taking care of Raider while we were out of town. I am glad that he was able to find a friend to teach him the ropes. The daily pictures were a blessing which we hope will continue in the future.”


“We wanted a quick Labor Day getaway. George came to live with us only 3 weeks before and I had never gotten a sitter for any of my dogs before. I was a little nervous but Angie was great! From meeting George, sharing her process and communicating while we were away with messages and pictures. I was relieved George was getting the personalized attention he needed. Thanks Angie!”


“Jennifer was fantastic. Onyx seemed like he had a good time and I knew he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing throughout the Stay. Would highly recommend.”

“Joanne was a LIFE SAVIOR ! I had a last minute cancellation and she responded right away and was able to help take care of Atlas. She was super communicative, shared great photos, and took amazing care of Atlas incredibly impromptu! Thank you thank you thank you !”

“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”

“I recently adopted my dog Bruno and he still can be a little skittish at times. When I went on vacation I didn't want to have to board him at a kennel where there might be a little too much simulation for him. Nikki and her family were perfect for him. He stayed with them for a week and I'm confident he was well taken care of because when it came time to pick him up he almost seemed hesitant to leave with me lol. Could tell he was comfortable in the house which says a lot. Will definitely be using Nikki again. Thank you!”


“We have a very active puppy (Loki) and wanted to bring him to the beach with us. Kim was very loving toward our dog and we were able to pick him up and take him to the beach and drop him off after so we could go back to our hotel. I loved that Loki was always happy to see Kim when we dropped him off. That meant a lot to me. We will use Kim again. Loki can’t wait to come back and play with her own wonderful pack.”
“Tucker was so welcomed and cared for by this lovely family! I received many updates with photos and it was clear my older dog was so comfortable and happy taking walks with them and cozying up in their living room. Instructions were followed exactly regarding feeding and sleeping arrangements. It was apparent that these dog-loving caregivers wanted the best for my pet. A big thank you to them and I would definitely book them again!”

“Angela was amazing! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent us pictures/videos of our Olive. I felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her family. Will definitely use again in the future when we go out of town. Thank you!!!”


“Mary and family were great! We were a little concerned with our dog Maya staying at a sitter’s for the first time, but all that concern disappeared after meeting the family. It was clear that they were animal lovers, and that Maya would be in safe hands. We were given photos and updates all throughout the weekend, and Maya looked safe and comfortable with them. Thanks for taking great care of our baby, Maya!!!”


“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for pets, as well as following any specific care instructions. As a previous pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I am available during most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I coach youth basketball in the evenings and occasionally have weekend tournaments, but I plan my schedule carefully and communicate availability clearly to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable care and attention. I live in a gated community with a secure, fenced dog park that provides a safe space for dogs to exercise and play. I also have two friendly cats in my home. If a pet is staying with me for boarding, I can keep them separated from my cats if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Having owned dogs and cats throughout my life, I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, prioritize pet safety, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
