“Adrianne and her family have been a safe haven for my dog, Shaggy! First of all, I appreciated Adrianne’s meet and greet where we got to know each other briefly, talked about the expectations. Adrianne went above and beyond to accommodate Shaggy. She made my day by sending his pictures from morning till night 2-3 times a day:) it felt like I stayed connected with my dog and ensured he was happy and cared. Because of an inconvenience I personally experienced, I had to extend Shaggy’s visit one more day. She was very kind and understanding about the situation. We were able to extend the stay one more day. So long story short, she was amazing! I hope I can meet people like Adrienne when I move to Minneapolis because she is a really caring and kind pet lover and very friendly and kind person!”
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
“Bindi had a great time! It’s obvious that Gabriel cares deeply for his guests. I appreciated the updates and the flexibility on pickup and drop off. I’ll definitely be using his services in the future!”
“Hilary was great. She sent pictures everyday, and I could tell my dog was having a great time in them. She made sure he got all the things he likes: walks, play, and cuddles. Very easy to work with too with good communication between me and Hilary. My dog was in good spirits when I picked him up like he was at home there.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“This was the first time I was boarding my puppy Trooper. As soon as we got to Michelle’s house, I knew my puppy was going to be in great hands! Throughout the weekend, she provided multiple pictures showing him having the best of time! We will 100% always choose Michelle to look after Trooper! Thank you SO MUCH”
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”
“Gerard takes such good care of our dog Emmett. He treats and cares for him as if he was his own. We couldn’t ask for a better person to trust and care for our lab. Highly recommended!”
“Brendan was great with our 5 month old Aussie puppy! He sent daily updates and was extremely flexible when our flight got delayed. Our pup was happy to play with his golden retriever and came home very sleepy!”
“Luke had such a good time! Duncan and Donit are the sweetest pups and great playmates! Jennifer was very kind, funny and communicative throughout the stay! We will definitely rebook when needed! Thanks so much!”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”
About: I have fostered dogs my whole life, and rehabilitated many untrained fosters. I basic obedience train all my personal dogs and foster dogs. I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter for the past 3 years. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is home majority of the day. I start my day at 4am taking care of my own dogs and work 8-4. My husband’s home all day and leaves for work at 2:30 so your beloved family member will have around the clock care! I have a 6ft privacy fence. I also am very trained in crate and rotating dogs if need be. I am equipped in medication administration as I have two personal dogs on daily meds. I have been trained on how to properly introduce dogs and have fostered many dogs over the past few years. I also have the room and availability to keep your pup separate from other dogs in the home if need be.
“Regular updates, communication, photos and video! Katy and her dogs kept Piper entertained and safe during our extended vacation…Will definitely keep her on a short list for future bookings!”
“Amanda and her family took care of Chubbs like he was their own. They were flexible when I needed to modify the dates. They were quick to respond. He loved it there and I will be using them in the future.”
“Marietta watched our puppy for several days at her home while we were away on a trip. She was very knowledgeable and communication was great! Additionally, I really appreciated her flexibility for when I needed to drop Bennie off. She has a wealth of experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our puppy with her in the future!”
“Christina and her family took the best care of our dog! They made her feel like she was a part of their family! Christina also kept us updated with pics and messages! Thank you!”
