“I strongly recommend Adriana. She and her family love dogs and have pictures of the dogs they’ve taken care of on the wall. They have a fenced in yard where dogs can play outside. My dog hasn’t been alone with strangers in a few years but when I picked him up he was snoozing on the couch with Adriana. She and her son Randall were both so friendly and supportive. She sent me pictures of Rufus all day, too. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”


“I absolutely love Charlene, she was so nice, took very good care of my pugs :) she updated me every chance she could. Very sufficient and sweet. I’d definitely be choosing her again :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I worked at a dog hotel, where I took care of almost 30 dogs at a time. I know a lot about all different ages and breeds. I’ve trained a few dogs as well! I also have bathed and trimmed nails. Animals are my passion and I would absolutely love to help make sure yours is taken care of! I’m a stay at home mom so other than a few errands here and there I’ll be home all day taking care of your pup! I don’t have a fenced yard but I love taking walks rain or shine and I have a long leash to make sure the pups stay safe. There’s also a field near by that I take my dog too. I have 1 dog who absolutely loves other dogs she’s only two so she’s very hyper so she’ll make sure your dog gets exercise but if needed I’m more than comfortable making sure your pup has a quiet space I do require a crate to come with your pup. I also prefer them to be spayed or neutered but that’s on a case to case basis. My baby is also really good with dogs and loves playing fetch with them

About: I have handled and showed various breeds for the past 10 years. I love them all! We are able to accommodate any special requests that may be needed. There will be dog experienced adults in the home at all times. I don’t mind working on potty training, crate training or anything else that will be requested. I work from home. There will be an adult in the house at all times. We all love dogs and would love to share this beautiful property with some more furry friends!!! Very much a dog friendly cabin set on 150 acres. We have a private pond available for water loving pooches! A daily hike included. We are able to allow the dogs off lead but will also have long lines in case that won’t work with your pup! We will be home at all times with your pup.

“Highly recommend! Sairy took great care of my baby, kept me updated throughout the day and my boy came home happy and tired, which is the best way to pick up my dog. I look forward to booking her again!”


“Happy Tara was flexible and could watch our pup again on short notice. He obviously is very comfortable with Tara as he never even looked back after we handed over his leash! From the pictures he seems to make himself at home.”


“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles. I immediately felt comfortable with Aurora spending the day with Amber who is warm, friendly and clearly has a special way with animals. She kept me posted on Aurora’s adventures throughout the day. Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”


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.

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.

About: As a proud dog mom of two, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every dog like family—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Both of my dogs take daily medications, so I'm very comfortable giving pills, liquids, or supplements and making sure each dose is given on time. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and sweet seniors who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meds, or just snuggles, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your dog peace of mind. I work full time from home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily stick to their usual routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, I can crate if needed or separate dogs using our finished basement to give everyone their own space. I closely supervise all interactions and always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe and at ease.

If you are looking for the best care available when you are not around, look no further than Michelle.”
