“Katelin was wonderful with our dog, Grandma! Her and her husband were so sweet to her and patient with her when she was nervous. Katelin sent frequent photo updates, which are always so nice to see when we're away. I will definitely have Katelin watch Grandma again when we're in the area!”
“Kelsi is a wonderful home and/or carer for your dog. She is responsive and exceptionally kind. It is obvious that she really cares about animals. While we were away, Kelsi kept me updated on how our dog was doing. You are in good hands with Kelsi!”
“Lanae was wonderful to our pup. She was willing to take him last minute, which saved us from missing our vacation. She took the time to update us regularly, and responded to any question I had promptly. She gave him all the love and attention he requires and I’m very grateful for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
About: I have been taking care of all dogs since I was 10. Doberman, Rottweiler, Hounds, Cocker spaniel, Labradoodle and Wheaton Terriers to name a few. I know how to be patient with the Rescues. When to give space and when to shower them with love. I have experience with senior dogs and their extra needs. I work from home, which allows plenty of time for potty breaks, play time, treats, and cuddles. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week. Treat them as i do my own. I have a spacious backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I have pet gates available if needed and plenty of comfy dog beds.
“Enid and Joe are a godsend! They are passionate animal lovers and very knowledgeable about caring for our furry friends! They are just wonderful down to earth folks and very kind! We have two small dogs-one is highly anxious. So I worried about leaving him, but Enid was awesome in keeping me updated and even sent videos. There are no words to describe how grateful I am to have found such incredible boarders! I never had used River and was alittle apprehensive but Enid did a meet and greet with me and my dogs- I instantly felt the burden once I had met Enid and Joe- they are just ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!”
“Ashley and Eric were absolutely wonderful! Trouble was only there a short time but he looked happy and extremely well taken care of. I will definitely be using them again if I need to go somewhere.”

About: I’ve taken care of several animals, my own and family members since I was 10. I’ve raised and trained a few puppies over the years as well as my own dog who is now two. He the most well behaved boy I know! I work for DoorDash so I make my own schedules I decide when I work and when I don’t so I have a lot of free time to take care of and play with all your beautiful animals! I have a 3 bedroom house with a large dining room and living room as well as a good sized backyard. It has an 8 food privacy fence!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging in size and age! I work in the medical field (3 12 hour shifts) so I have lots of free time to fill with your furry friend!

I have 4 days off each week - I don’t work holidays or weekends at my job, so I’m more than willing to spend that time with your pup! I have a fenced in backyard.

About: I have had animals all my life, cats and dogs, I have my own cat I take care of as well as help out with my moms cat and dog sometimes Especially with feeding them and letting them out.

I let the dog out, play with him, feed him, etc same with the cat but her cat is getting older and only wants to do so much but I try to give her cat attention too.

About: I have owned dogs and cats all my life and know how important it is to ensure your pets are safe and loved while you are away. I attend school full time, but weekends are free to take care of your pets. I can do some weekdays as well, but that will be determined week to week. I will follow any instructions left to care for your pet, you know them best so I will follow any reasonable requests you have to give your pet the care they deserve.

About: I've taken care of pets since I can remember. This past year I have started dog sitting for friends and family and they have trusted me to care for their animals like I would for my own. I am currently working part-time and am enrolled in college, doing mostly online work. I am able to work around my work schedule and leave periodically if needed to care for a pet. I make sure to have lots of outside time with my own pets. We play fetch and go on walks daily. I have a fenced in yard to make sure my pets are safe.
“Everything went well for Daisy at Ashley's house. Ashley was able to accommodate us with a last-minute booking and fast communication which was appreciated! Daisy must have had a fun time because she slept the whole way home!! We'll certainly use Ashley in the future:)”
