“Christina was great with Oakley! It looked like he was having so much fun and getting a good workout on the long walks. Oakley took to her right away and did not miss us at all during our trip. I will definitely use Christina again when Oakley needs a sitter.”

“Our dog can be a lot to handle, but Andrew put us totally at ease! His love of dogs is readily apparent and he sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend. Communication was easy, and most of all, our dog had so much fun! We will definitely use Andrew again.”


“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”

“My Buddy had such an amazing time with Emily & Ryan and their 2 fur babies! They were so kind and accommodating when I had to bump the time up for our meet and greet. I believe we have found Buddy a new home away from home!!! Thanks again guys you are amazing and I can’t wait to bring him back :).”


“Kim and her whole family took amazing care of Pulcinella and Steve! She kept me up to date of their activities with lots of pictures. The boys had an amazing visit!”

About: I have had pets and taken care of them since I was 8 years old. I was a 10 year 4-h member and a HUGE animal lover! I am ready to care for your loved ones as if they were my own! I work in the operating room and my husband is a firefighter so one of us is usually always home to be able to help care for your animals! We have 1 dog and 2 cats. Our daily and weekly routine allow us time to attend to animals we will be taking care of. We will treat your home as if it's our own! We will look after your pets and clean messes they make while you are away. If you are using us for longer sitting (vacations etc.) we will take out and bring in your trash, get the mail, water plants and clean after your pets! No one wants to come home from a vacation to a messy home! This is all included with our service.
“This was my dog’s first time boarding and he is a very excited dog, but kudos to Tiffani for taking such great care of our dog. Also appreciate you for taking last minute booking.”

“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”

“Roxanna has been a great sitter as we recently moved to the area! My pup settled in so quickly when staying with her for the first time, and even more quickly the second stay. I received a daily photo or video and Roxanna was very responsive!”


“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“My dog, Gabi, really enjoyed her time over there. Andrea was great at communicating over Gabi's care. Gabi seemed excited to see me but wasn’t scrambling to get home the way she has in the past with other pet sitters. Definitely would recommend Andrea if your dog likes kids.”


“Pam watched our two boys for a week and I never once felt worried or uneasy about anything. She truly loved the boys like they were her own. We live in Illinois and made the hour and a half drive based on recommendations from my Mom! I would make that drive anytime that I know Pam is watching my babies.”

“Leandra and Mark were amazing! We left our behaviorly challenged yorkie with them for a week and they handled him like professionals! We we got back it was like he was on vacation not us! He clearly loved them and di so well! We hope to use them for future vacation needs. We could not have asked for a better place for our fur baby to stay while we were gone. ❤️🫶🥰”

“Mathew and Migchalee were fantastic watching Rudy! Updates with photos/videos were given daily which helped ease any worries and concerns on how my pup was doing. They took very good care of him; wouldn’t hesitate using them again if needed!”
