“This is a repeat stay for us and just as wonderful! as before! Eloise is well taken care of and we get lots of daily pictures and updates. Harold is so thoughtful and I don’t feel nervous leaving her with him at all. She probably misses him when she’s back at home😂.”
“Barrie keeps my dog, Finn, fairly often, and I can’t recommend her enough. He absolutely loves going over to her house as well as being with her, which is so comforting when I’m traveling. She also takes the best pup photos, which I greatly appreciate because he won’t sit still for me!”
“I will definitely rebook with Sorelwing again! She took excellent care of Pierre and was very good about updating and sending pictures while in his care. My sweet baby really enjoyed her! She is the best!”
“Our pup, Ajax has stayed with Ray twice now and each time he has a blast!! Ray is so communicative and committed to making sure Ajax has a great time! Every time we go out of town, our pup will be with Ray because we are sure he’s in good hands, so we never have to worry or stress!”
“Sarah is the best! This is the first time we have used Rover and Sarah exceeded expectations! We received photo updates of our dog during her stay. Pancake came back a very happy girl!”

About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.

She sends so many updates and photos, and we truly have peace of mind while we are away. She goes above and beyond and we’re so appreciative! Would trust her with anything that we need for our pup.”
