“Stephanie always does a great job with our dogs! Our youngest is very playful when we get back, so we can tell he was played with while we were gone.”


“Cannot recommend her enough! Went above and beyond and even took my boy to a field trip. Checked in often to let us know how he was doing and put our minds at ease. She is seriously great!”


“Valarie was a great communicator and always checked in with updates and pictures while I was away. You can tell she genuinely enjoys watching after my pets. I have been very happy with her level of service and will continue to book with her. Thank you!”


“Mariah was such a caring, trustworthy new friend to our pets while we were away! I've never left this particular brood behind before, especially not for a full week, and it was very anxiety-provoking for me. Mariah was so kind-hearted and reassuring about my fears, and kept us posted on how everyone was doing multiple times per day, along with adorable photos that showed just how well taken care of everyone was and how much fun they were having it's clear that our two dogs and three cats enjoyed her company, and when we came home she had not only left the house as it was, but in BETTER condition by a long shot lol. Our pets seemed happy to have us home but not anxious, because they were so well taken care of. Thank you Mariah!!!!”


“Jaelyn stayed with my Ellie overnight. She did a fabulous job and everything was immaculate when I got home. Happy dog, clean house, who could ask for more? I will book her again.”


“Amanda is always great with my dogs and takes great care with them. She is also super respectful of our home and left it better than she found it!”



“If I could give Courtney 100 stars ⭐️ I would!! I am so happy we found her! I don’t even know where to begin...she’s super sweet, and professional at the same time. She spent the entire weekend at my home with my 2 baby kitties (not really babies lol) They are extremely shy with new people and hide as soon as someone comes in, but not with Courtney. They took to her immediately which gave me a great feeling. She sent me pics and videos all weekend. She followed all my directions perfectly for them. When I came back, they didn’t even seem to care when I walked in lol. That told me that they had a very stress free weekend, at obviously it felt like I wasn’t even gone. She also helped me out in a crunch bc my planned out of town trip was sorta last min and she was still willing to come. I will absolutely be booking her again!!! Thank u SOOO much Courtney for making my leave stress free bc I knew they were in good hands ??”


“We have used the same kennel for our small pack of German Shepherds for more than 10 years, but our most recent trip was last minute and they had no vacancies. This was our first experience with an in-home dog sitter and it was great! Daven stopped by for a meet and greet the day before we left town. We had no concerns regarding how the dogs would behave, they are generally pretty chill, but we wanted to make sure our sitter was a good fit. All 3 shepherds were clearly immediately comfortable with Daven and the deal was sealed. She arrived promptly the next day and sent daily pics of our small pack lounging indoors (mostly our snuggle bug Karl) and playing outside. When we arrived home the dogs were relaxed and everything else was just how we left it, dare I say, maybe cleaner than we left it. Daven gets 5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely check to see if she is available the next time we head out of town.”


“Alex stayed at my home for four days to watch my small dog. She did a wonderful job and I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I will ask her to come again.”


“Sasha was awesome. Kept me completely informed on how my dogs was sent photos every day. I could have not been more pleased. I will definitely reach out to her again for her sitting services. Highly recommend her.”


“Heidi was amazing!!! I was very nervous leaving my three dogs as one has never been away from us. She treated them like family and even when one of our dogs was not feeling well, handled it appropriately! We will 100 % use her again!!!!”


“Kristin was amazing! She stayed with my two dogs for three nights, including the Fourth of July. She kept me updated at all times, sent videos, photos, and message updates. I felt very relaxed knowing she was with them. One of my dogs has leash reactivity and Kristin handled it very professionally and well. No incidents occurred with her. I even came home to a clean home! She said she wanted me to be able to relax when I returned. I will definitely use her again! Absolutely incredible service.”


“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”


“Allie was great. Available for last minute cat/dog sitting”


“Elly is amazing! She really helped out when I needed to book a sitter last minute for my puppy who had kennel cough and wasn't able to be boarded at the vet. Elly sends frequent updates and pictures which help put me at ease as I was on my vacation, knowing that my puppy was in great hands. You can tell that Elly genuinely loves and cares for dogs as if they were her own. I will certainly use her in the future!!! Thank you Elly.”


“Great service! Very friendly. Sent me tons of updates the whole time. He spent a lot of time playing with both of my dogs. My older dog is normally hesitant of people from anxiety, but he liked Isaiah immediately! Definitely recommend.”


About: I am a proud dog mom of a friendly and energetic 5 year old Yorkie . I have been working with a variety of different breeds of dogs for over 10 years . Every dog is treated like family while in my care . My daily schedule is customized by me . That makes me a great fit for last minute pet care and for fur babies that don’t like being alone . After a night at my house your fur baby will not want to go home . I have a nice big back and front yard , big bed couch for them to lay on and lots of hugs and kisses . My 5 year old yorkie is great with all animals & children . *To provide a peaceful and stress free stay for your pup & us we do have a no continuous barking/howling policy*
