“Lisa was very communicative and caring towards both myself and my fur babies. I greatly appreciated her notes and pics that she sent, which put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend booking with Lisa. She made everything easy. :)”
“Arin took great care of my dog while we were gone. Always a little nerve wracking to hire a new sitter, but they remembered and followed every detail that I shared in the meet and greet, were quite prompt, and had great communication such that I needn’t have worried at all. Would highly recommend Arin as a sitter!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We loved having Amanda check-in on our cat, Finnegan. She was responsive and considerate, as well as super punctual. We sprung for extra time and felt it was worth every penny. It was awesome knowing that our boy had someone to hang out and play with during our trip, who was also attuned to his cues. Our home was as we left it when we came back and Finnegan is super happy! Can’t wait to book with Amanda again!”

About: Hi, I'm Cindy! I’m a stay-at-home mom of 2. I’m an animal lover with years of experience caring for pets. In our home, we only board small(In stature) dogs, medium dogs that are on the smaller side and small breed puppies. Our Jack Russell is afraid of larger breeds and we’ve found many small dog owners have the same issue. If your pet weighs more than 25 pounds but is still small in stature, feel free to ask! Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m home with your pets most of the day, except for short errands. My 2 dogs, a Jack Russel named Flower and a Goldendoode named Cupid love having friends over! I treat them like family—whether it's cuddling on the couch or romping in our large, fenced backyard. For added safety, I stay outside with them, and we have locked gates and security cameras. I also closely follow your pet's routine and offer medication administration if needed (thanks to my nursing background). All pets are feed separately. I carry separate liability insurance for added peace of mind.
“Kaleigh did a great job taking care of our pups! She went above and beyond, and our dogs loved her. We definitely recommend Kaleigh!”
“Tess did a fantastic job taking care of my German Shepherd while I was away for a work trip! She exceeded expectations and met all of my dog’s needs! Because of her help, my dog is happy and healthy and I did not need to worry at all while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help taking care of their pets!”
“Kiera is so awesome! Super reliable, responsive, communicative, and genuinely cares about your fur babies! My big girl is a lot out and about sometimes and Kiera took it in stride! Highly recommend”
“Janet did a wonderful job caring for our three cats. She followed every instruction exactly and made sure litter boxes were pristine. Kitties had ample food and I was provided photos and a complete report following each visit. I will definitely utilize Janet for future cat care needs.”
