Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

South Freeport
If you’re looking for a park experience that can last all day, load up your car and drive just 12 minutes from German Valley to this Freeport neighborhood. Oakdale Nature Preserve is a fair sized park with plenty of walking trails. As the area is a nature preserve, keep a few things in mind. First of all, your dog will have to be on leash in the park. Dogs love nature, but nature, in the form of squirrels, birds, and rare native plants, don’t always love dogs back! Secondly, you’re not going to find paved paths here, so be prepared to rough it. Lastly, bring your own water!36
Downtown Byron
Downtown Byron is a neighborhood of Byron, located just twenty minutes from German Valley. Hamas Park is a must see for the area. This park’s main draw is its extensive water feature, as Hamas Park is right down on the Rock River. Your dog will have to stay on leash while you’re exploring the park, but you can get right down into the water to cool off on those hot summer days! Even if it’s a bit cool for swimming, Hamas Park has a gorgeous view of the water. Take a long walk by the shore and watch the fishermen, and it’s still a pawsome good time.
