“Had another great stay with Beth, Bud, & Ruby. Molly loves staying there, she was excited whenever we pulled into the driveway, and Beth keeps in touch with great pics and updates. You can definitely feel the love and affection that she has for all dogs...and cats. Thanks again, and see you again soon!”
“I highly recommend Brian! Not only is he kind but extremely knowledgeable about dogs. He sent videos and photos of the walks with our dog. He responds quickly to any questions. A true professional and lover of dogs. We are so glad we found him. Thanks Brian!”
“Faith was able to take my young puppy within short notice, don’t know what I would’ve did without her! Loved seeing pics of my pup while we were away, highly recommend!!”
“Amber was a great sitter for our two pups. She checked in often with pictures and updates on how they were doing. They had a great weekend in a loving and caring home!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Tony! Janel is kind, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Tony had never stayed in a different home before and has been pretty isolated. Janel was patient and loving to Tony and sent me cute pictures and notes. She was also very communicative and flexible when we had to change our pick up date. Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!”
“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. The quality of care they provide your pet goes far beyond anything offered by a traditional boarder. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. That peace of mind is priceless!”
“Crystal was great with Olive! She kept in constant contact and sent the most adorable pics of my little one having fun. She's reliable and cares for your dog like it was her own. If you need someone to watch your pet I recommend Crystal as your go to fur sitter!”
“Watched our Great Danes! She did a great job! Our dogs had lots of room to play and run outside! They also got to play with her dogs! She sent pictures when I asked!! Would definitely recommend her!”
“She did great with our cat Smokey! Will definitely book again. She was very understanding of the storm and pick up times being pushed back. Also sent pictures to update us regularly on our boy! Couldn’t be more happy! 10/10 recommend her & we will be back!”
“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and training three dogs of my own, currently aged 2, 3, and 4. I’ve cared for them since they were puppies, handling everything from basic obedience training to daily walks, feeding, grooming, and socialization. I’m a nursing student home for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to earn extra income. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in the yard, your pup will be in good hands! Your pup will be cared for in a safe, loving environment at my home, which has a fully fenced-in yard perfect for play and exercise. Dogs are always supervised and treated like family whether we’re enjoying outdoor time or relaxing inside, your dog will feel right at home.
“Kristina and Mark were great! They took awesome care of our girls and sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date on all their activities. They have a nice fenced yard and sweet German Shepards for your dogs to play with! I know my dogs enjoyed getting to be on the couch and get snuggles from the kids!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, I also helped out at our local animal shelter ! I’ll be more than happy to watch your beloved pets !! I’m available throughout the week at anytime ! I do have a main job as a overnight caregiver on the weekends but when your pets are with me they will have my full attention and love ! As I said Pets are family! They deserve respect and love just like us. Your animal will be taken very well care of. I can take your pups on walks and make sure they get the exercise they need !
About: Hello! I’ve had a dog through my entire life. I have experience with puppies as well as elderly dogs. I also am experience in handling deaf and blind dogs, as my dog has these impairments. I currently work full time while in law school part time. I am available after 4:00pm on weekdays. On the weekends, I can be flexible. Just shoot me a message! I have one small dog who is house trained. We take her for walks around our neighborhood or leash her in the yard. She will remain away from any animals that I would be caring for as she is a very old girl.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a year but I also had a cat growing up. When I did have 2 cats they were my world. I enjoyed every minute when I had them. I’m very passionate about caring for cats. I was working full time at the hospital but I’m free every day Monday-Friday until I get the job that I want but after I get that job I’m still available I don’t have a fenced back yard but my neighbor is a pet friendly environment. I’m near a park that is safe for animals as well.
