“Victoria is very warm and loving. She does sit quite a few dogs at the same time, but does make sure they get along. She sends pictures daily of your pup.”
“Heidi was amazing!! She was very helpful in making our pup and us feel comfortable! She was great at communicating and sent lots of great pics!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you so much Heidi!!”
“We have already re-booked our lab mix with Austin and Francis & family for our next trip out of town! Roxy had the best time, we got regular text and photo updates, and we are so happy they enjoyed our dog as much as we do. They love animals, had a very clean home, and are excellent communicators. Would highly recommend! Their location was great for us as we were traveling south from Portland and just needed a quick detour of the highway to a small town we'd never visited.”
“Janice was a very good communicator and provided me with many updates - including pictures - as she watched my pup. I was very comfortable with her caring for my pup. I would employ her again for sure!”
“Coconut's stay at Kelly's was fabulous. She took her out on an adventure, let her sleep on her bed, and overall showed a lot of empathy and understanding for pets. Her place is clean and very dog friendly. We would absolutely book with Kelly again!”
“It was such a great experience boarding my dog with Amanda. She is a great communicator, always providing regular updates to me which was much appreciated. You can tell she has a love for dogs! Even with a couple of hiccups during my dog's stay, Amanda showed her ability to problem solve and her commitment to ensuring a positive experience for both my pup and her family. Her kids were nice and respectful to my dog and absolutely loved playing with him. I highly recommend Amanda for any sorts of boarding needs!”
“I was more confident about this stay for our dog than any other. First, Jeanne comes across as knowledgeable, caring and competent. It's clear that she has invested in her house and yard specifically for the safety and comfort of other people's pets. I knew upon leaving our collie with her that he would be fine and well-cared for. I was right. When we picked him up, she told us about his stay and how he interacted with the others, all of which was normal and expected. I have absolutely no concerns about recommending Jeanne to others. If we return to that area, I hope Kluge can stay with her again.”
“Wyatt and his wife were very friendly and easy going. They took great care of my dog and were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would trust them again to watch after my dog. Thank you both!”
About: With veterinary, boarding and rescue experience I can provide a safe and fun environment for your fur baby while you’re away. I’m also available for daily home visits. I have a large, unfenced yard and live close to walking trails as well. Your dog must be kid and cat friendly- no exceptions. Special needs dogs welcome!! I am able to administer medications and have experience with paralyzed dogs. Please note: between the months of September and June, if you book a stay that includes a weekday, I will likely be away at work during the day from 7am-3pm My day begins and ends with pet care! I am a long time pet owner, currently my household includes a senior dog, a senior cat and two younger cats. They’re part of the family just like my children! In my home, it is important that both my resident animals and your pet feel comfortable and have a space, away from everyone else, that feels safe. In a clients home, I’m looking to make sure that your pet is doing well in your absence, is comfortable and well cared for.
“Jaclyn is a fantastic person who loves the dogs she watches like they are her own. She was immediately welcoming and caring towards our dogs when we dropped them off. She also sent regular photo and video updates sharing what our dogs were up to. I could tell they were well cared for and treated like part of the family. 10/10. Would recommend to others and rebook for my own dogs.”
“Jack Black LOVES going to Nicholas' house! We always get pictures, quick responses amd a tired pup upon return! Can not recommend Nicholas enough!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Sprout with Michelle and she had a great time! Michelle was a great communicator and sent us updates the whole time we were away.”
“Faith took fantastic care of our cats. She sent us frequent updates about them throughout the whole stay, even an hour before picking them up. The pictures and videos helped us focus on my brother's wedding instead of worrying about the cats, and we greatly appreciate it.”
“I always feel at ease when Briana takes care of my dog! He’s on the smaller side and doesn’t play with other dogs often so I was a little nervous at first, but he has a great time with her pups and is tired out from all his fun when he gets home. I love getting those pictures throughout the weekend so I can see how he’s doing. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting/boarding.”
“Carmen was kind and understanding with our dog. And overall just seems like a very nice person. She worked with us on dropoff and pickup and was pretty flexible. Figo seemed to have a lot of fun with her. She has a nice house and overall it seemed she lived in a dog friendly neighborhood so definitely recommend boarding with her.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—everything from dogs, cats, and senior pets to snakes, wildlife, and high-energy puppies. I’m calm, confident, and intuitive, which helps me build trust quickly, even with shy or anxious animals. I have experience with puppy training, including crate and leash work, as well as senior care and medication administration. Whether it’s a playful kitten, a strong-willed pup, or a laid-back snake, I adapt my care to meet their unique needs and personalities. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work full-time from home with an incredibly flexible schedule. I’m able to adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or just spending quality time. Being home-based means I’m nearby, responsive, and able to give your pets attention and care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I create a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or behavioral needs—and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality. I’m mindful of secure entryways, pet-proofing spaces, and keeping a clean, low-stress atmosphere. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and right at home, even when you’re away.
“I was nervous to leave Maisey for a whole week, but I felt comfortable after meeting Molly in person, and all the photo updates I received confirmed that Maisey had a good time. Highly recommend!”
“Heidi took great care of my two Huskies and was very helpful with not only the original requested boarding, but also allowed them to stay longer then originally planned. She also gave one a nice brush down which is more than I could had asked for :)”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Peter provided a safe and happy place for our pet. He was responsive and communicated well. He kept us informed on how our dog was doing, including helpful and fun photos. Peter was easy to work with and we appreciated the one on one attention he gave to our dog. Having a nice fenced in yard as well as a quieter home, was helpful.”
