“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Triba took great care of my Shih Tzu for a week. She sent me photos and even took him to the dog park. She walked him a couple of times a day. Thank goodness for her, I was able to vacation in peace. ?”
“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”
“Brody loved his stay. He had ample time to run around with other dogs in the spacious backyard. We also received photos and videos each day to show how much fun he was having. We will definitely book here again!”
“Katie took excellent care of Sadie while we were away on vacation - after meeting her during the meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving Sadie at her house. Will absolutely use her again for any future vacations, she is quick to respond and very accommodating!”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”
“Mylinda was a great dog sitter for Dino and Toby! Will definitely be a returning customer. Mylinda did a great job keeping in contact with me throughout the weekend and keeping me updated about the dogs!”
“OMG Senada was awesome!! I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about Kai and how he was being treated. When my son and I took Kai for a meet-and-greet, Senada was so welcoming. She made us feel relaxed and Kai took to her immediately. She has a clean and peaceful home and a beautiful fenced-in backyard that Kai immediately thought was his new home! Lol What solidified everything for me was when she asked, “Can I text you if I have any questions about Kai?” This already shows her level of concern for Kai’s wellbeing. Each day we received pictures and videos of Kai. He was having his own vacation too!! I unreservedly recommend Senada for boarding services. She’s a blessing!! Will definitely be returning!”
“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”
“During our vocation, Tiffany sent us photos every day of Scout having the time of his life… Hanging out on the couch with her kids, running around the yard with her dog Mia and even giving the side eye to her cat. He came home happy and smelling even better than when he left. We have found our new go-to pet sitter!”
“Anita took care of my two dogs Rylan, a one year old husky mix, and Vandy a 12 year old pitbull this past weekend and honestly they couldn't of been in better hands. I picked them up on Sunday and they didn't even want to leave. They had obviously received so much love and attention and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Anita!!!”
“Dyan did great watching my pup flynn while we were away on vacation. I got picture updates every day and he was able to get all his energy out playing!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. Everything from dogs to cats, turtles to frogs, bunnies to hamsters to sugar gliders, you name it, I’ve probably had one or taken care of it and treated it like my own family member. I have extensive experience with extra large breed dogs and dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. I’m happy to work with you and your pet so the best possible care is provided. I own a house with about a half an acre fenced in yard....plenty of room to run. Pets are treated like royalty here. I currently work full-time, 90% from home and some travel. I’m flexible with scheduling. I’m very flexible during the week and look forward to helping you take care of your family member! I can easily do whatever your pet or pets need to make their time away from you as comfortable as possible. I can administer medication, accommodate special needs and behaviors. I will respect your wishes when it comes to pet parenting!
“Had such a wonderful experience with Wendy this past weekend, she and her family took great care of Layla and were very accommodating to our trip schedule. With a large backyard and other dogs to socialize with, I was glad to know Layla wouldn't ever feel alone while we were gone. 100% recommend Wendy's services.”
“Ji Ah and her husband were both great! I received pictures and updates every day while I was away. Duke already misses them and their lovely dogs. Thank you Ji Ah, you are amazing!”
“We were pleasantly surprised by Rosa’s concern and care for Rocky, she went above and beyond for him. She was great in terms of communication and following up with questions, and was thoughtful enough to provide grooming advice for him. She was also flexible in the drop off and pick up for him due to our hectic travel schedule. We really appreciated her feedback on how he held up during his stay with her and would definitely book again!”
“Trenton was fantastic! He took great care of Delilah. Regular updates, including pictures and videos. I would absolutely hire Trenton again, and highly recommend his services to all pet parents.”
“Araceli and Uciel did a fantastic job of watching my dog for a week. They took such wonderful care of him and sent pics\videos with updates every day. It was clear he had a grand time playing with their two dogs and being spoiled rotten. I will definitely be using them again when I go out of town.”
“Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!”
“Elizabeth has taken excellent care of my little guy a couple times now - I admit my I can be extra as a dog dad but she and her family respected all my requests and I could tell that they really took care of my dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. He was loved and cared for and that allowed me to rest easy while away, would recommend!”
