“Sandy Faith had a wonderful time at Adiana's. She took such great care of my sweet girl. I will definitely use her again. Sandy had friends to play with too. Adiana took plenty of pictures and keep me updated on how Sandy was doing. I was able to enjoy my birthday without having to worry about Sandy. She's a perfect sitter. Sandy loved her.”
“Steve is fantastic with Phoebe! She can be leash aggressive at times and understands that when she starts to growl at another dog if he takes her from us she will be fine and conveys that to other dog owners as well. She absolutely loves going to day care every week to the point where she has run out of the car and up his porch! She is always tired from a hard day of play and would recommend Steve to anyone who asks me! If your dog stays over night he will allow your dog to do what you allow them to do and nothing that you wouldn't. I honestly can't say enough good about Steve and the service that he runs!”
“Baloo had a fun time staying at Mary’s! Mary took great care of Baloo and provided constant communication and pictures. Baloo seemed to love to play with Mary’s furry companions. Will definitely use her services again!”

“I'm with my dog 24/7 so it's hard for me to part with her when we travel. We're so glad we found Charlene and Rick. They went above and beyond to make sure that we could wrap up our trip without worries. Our dog loved both of them and we'll definitely ask for their help again when we need it!”
“She was really great an accommodating. She was really quick to help when my flights were canceled and happily watched him since I couldn’t come home. She sent me photos of my dog having fun and was overall really nice to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. :)”
“Tayanna has watched my Millie girl 3 times this year with the last being a 10 day stay. I received updates and pictures the whole time and I was not worrying at all. I know Millie loves cuddling with Tayanna and going for walks. I was nervous going for a long period of time and Tayanna assured me Millie adjusted just fine.”
“I cant say enough about Sairy. To see how much my dog loves her time there makes my Heart happy. She sends me videos and pictures keeping me engaged with her daily activities. She is forever Remy's keeper when I need her in the future. She luvs luvs luvs her Aunt Sairy. ❤️❤️❤️”
“I needed someone last minute to watch my dog overnight and was so glad to find Klare and her fiance! She sent plenty of updates and pictures so I knew he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Family members and friends often rely on me to look after their pets when they’re away, whether that means boarding, bathing, playtime, or providing basic care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re apart. I’m currently caring for a family at home. which means I’m home and available to give your pets lots of attention and playtime. I offer both boarding and daycare during weekdays and weekends, so you can count on me for flexible scheduling that works around your needs. While in my care, your pets will enjoy a secure, fenced-in yard to play and relax in. I have a medium-sized, friendly dog who would be happy to keep your pet company, but if needed, I can also create a safe, separate space. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”
“Amber was AMAZING with Mush!!! He has some separation anxiety, but I think he was more upset to leave her when we picked him up😅 She sent lots of pictures and videos, spent so much time with him outside, and made sure he was always comfortable! Couldn’t recommend her enough🫶🧡”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”
