“Tanya & her family took such wonderful care of Birdie, who is very shy. Tanya & her family exhibited such patience and love to her as well as the other dogs who were there. It is evident that Tanya takes every dog’s personality into account. They are welcoming and assured me of Birdie’s safety and comfort. I received multiple text and photo updates about Birdie throughout her stay which relieved my worries. I trust Tanya with Birdie and will definitely use her service in the future!”


“Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!”


“Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!”

“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”



“Mary did and excellent job of taking care of my dog Clyde. She exceeded my expectations. You can see her love for animals and the joy it brings her.

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.

“Brynn was welcoming and reassuring when we dropped our dog off. She asked good questions and seemed very comfortable with our high energy dog. Bryan provided messages when we asked about Bailey. She was very prompt in responding. I would use Bryan as a boarder again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on many animals. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

“Ewa was amazing with my puppies. She took care of both of my Pomeranians. She’s a very nice lady who seemed to really enjoy dogs overall. Not once was I anxious about my puppies while I was away because I know how well she was going to take care of them. Thank Ewa!”


“Carissa was absolutely the best! Taking care of 2 large breed puppies isn't easy, but she was so great with them! She really knows dogs, and obviously realized what they were capable of as far as mischief and issues with cats and other dogs but handled them perfectly with no problems. My dogs were comfortable with her, and well taken care of with her house. Not to even mention the beautiful yard! She was beyond generous with updates and pictures. She really went out of her way to reassure me that they were alright. (I was nervous!) I am so excited to have a trusted sitter, and Carissa will definitely be seeing more of my pups in the future!”


“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws! Frida provided many updates with pictures and videos and let us know how thoroughly she was being cared for and enjoying her stay. Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”
