“My baby had an amazing time with Amiee. She sent regular updates and photos, and reassured me, since it was his first time staying with anyone else. Got him back this morning, and she was able to help us out when we had to extend. I'd be happy to bring him back anytime :)”

“They did a great job caring for Rosemary!! I got updates every day, and Rosie seemed like a happy and healthy girl when she came back home. We have already booked again for another weekend!”

“Lesley is amazing! My dachshund, Elli, had the best time with her. Her dog Scarlett is the sweetest, they cuddled the whole time. Lesley gave me so many updates and has a perfect setup.”

“My dogs most likely will sleep for the next week, they had so much fun!!!! Holly was very sweet and caring. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent the sweetest picture! 100/10 recommend!”


“I can’t say enough about Ronda and her sweet family and just how thankful we are for them!! They love our girls as their own and they always come back better than when we left them!!!”

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Brenda took great care of MACK, he was treated like he was her own dog. I appreciated the way she handled him. I couldn't have done anything better myself. We'll see her again next time I need help. Thanks, Gary”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both full time and part time since I was around 14. I was the sole caregiver for my previous dog (American Staffy) for 4 years as well as pet sitting for family. I’m currently home from college and work from home, so I am able to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m also an active person who loves outside. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a very walkable neighborhood with ponds and trails. If needed, I also have a crate available.
About: I have worked at a vets office going on 8 years now as a vet technician. I studied animal science at Auburn University. I have dog/cat sat for several years. I work an early shift as a superintendent. With my schedule I would still be able to do early early morning around 3/3:30 and mid afternoon check ins. I have 4 dogs that love to have friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard, but walk mine daily. I am a few minutes from Albertville’s Dog Park where my dogs love to go run and play.
“Addison was so great! I was so nervous about having to board my pup for the first time. But Addison took great care of her she got so much love and attention! I also got pictures daily and multiple pictures most days! Will definitely be be booking with Addison for anything in the future!”


About: I currently work with a local rescue and have worked with rescues for two years now due to my love for animals! I foster dogs of any age as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so I would be able to spend endless amounts of time with your babies!! I have two small children as well who are well versed with dogs and are used to being around them. I have one furry baby of my own and almost always have a foster dog in my home as well. Your pet is welcome to stay in our home the same as they do in yours, whether that’s crated at night, on their dog bed, etc.
About: I have two fur babies and taught them all they know. I love animals especially dogs . There's always room in my heart to meet and work with new dogs. If dog/puppy needs a friend I will teach them all kinds of things and new ways to play. Any dog is a good dog no matter what . Whatever you need me to do for your pet I won't mind doing. I have had a dog in my life since I was 6 and couldn't see my life without owning a dog now. All dogs hold a special place in my heart and that will never change . Weather it Be for a walk or for a potty break I'm excited to meet new friendly loving faces .

“Chase was amazing and sent photos of our Birdie each day. When we returned from our trip, we asked to extend her say for an extra two nights. Chase was able to accommodate our additional stray. Highly recommend!”

“If you are looking for the best person/place for your fur baby look no further! I don’t think I will ever go to anyone else unless Jessica is unavailable. She was awesome with our 11 month old German Shepherd. He came home so happy and I could tell he had an amazing staycation! She communicated with me throughout the stay. She even sent pics! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!”

“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole childhood. I love taking my dogs out to the park to chase balls and squirrels. My dog is friendly and enjoys learning new tricks. Your dog will be in good hands. Your dog would follow my dog’s routine. My wife will be at home most of the day. I work as a teacher and would be home around 5pm on school days to take them out for a walk. I have a large fenced back yard and a dog of my own that easily gets along with others. I can easily crate your dog if needed. The dog would stay outside .
