“Danielle really made my dogs comfortable and feeling at home in her house. She also did drop-ins at my house and made sure everything was in check with my dogs there. I highly recommend her services!”


“There's no one we trust more to take wonderful care of our dog, Sophie, than Dani. Our old girl loves the rural farm setting, the trail hikes, and Dani's other dogs who we think of as her buddies. Dani's judgment in handling an atypical situation for Sophie was insightful and exactly what was needed. Sophie will be back!”

“Gina was top notch! Our dog had a wonderful time at Gina's. Gina kept us updated regularly with photos and messages. She was sensitive to our dog's needs. We definitely recommend her.”

“Shyann was so good with Nova. And I must say Nova loved playing with Poppy. Everything was great she sent me pictures and I just knew Nova was doing great with her. I know that I will definitely be taking Nova back she was wore out at a great day. I would recommend Shyann to everyone.”

I can set up a portable play pen if needed in a designated area, should your dog need some space.
