“Lavar and Amber were great with our dogs. Communication was prompt and they kept us informed throughout the weekend. The dogs were very well cared for and we will definitely use Lavar and Amber again. Highly recommend.”
“We’ve found our perfect home away from home for Kirby Jane! She didn’t even want to come with me bc she loves it so much there! We can’t say enough kind things about Matt and Candace! They are great!”
“Communication was great!! They shared pictures with us that really made us feel at ease for our first time boarding and were so quick to respond to any messages! Our pup last minute had to have a procedure done between the time that we booked and when we left for our trip but they were very understanding and accommodating for her needs with wearing a cone and taking medications! Also loved the location and think our pup really enjoyed her stay! Will definitely use again when our family is unavailable to watch her!”
“My 2.Pomeranians. Chloe and Mia stayed overnight with Ivy. Ivy was very quick to respond to any questions that I had and also stayed in communication during the stay by sending pictures and updates! She and her son, along with her Dog Basil and kitties, helped my dogs feel right at home. She immediately set my mind at ease by letting me know that my dogs were settling in and getting comfortable there. Ivy did a wonderful job and I definitely hope to book with her again in the future! Highly recommended! Thank you for taking great care of my girls!”
“Christy was very friendly and understanding throughout Archie’s stay. She kept us informed via photos, videos and text messages. It was perfectly clear to is that Archie loved being with her when we went to pick him up. We would definitely want to work with her again as we felt relieved to have had our Archie in caring hands:)”
“OMG! WOW! Melissa is the best ever. She coddled our dogs Zena (Goberian) and Maddie (Siberian Husky) with love and care. You don't get this kind of care boarding at a Kennel. We hope she will have our babies in the future. There is good, better and best, but Melissa was outstanding!”
“I have used Amanda twice now and she’s great! I’ve used both daycare and boarding services with her when I needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating. Very clear communication and sends pictures daily. Definitely will be using again.”

“We recently had our two dogs stay with Payton for three nights, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Payton was attentive, caring, and made sure our dogs felt right at home. We highly recommend Payton for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Payton, for giving us peace of mind while we were away!”
“Vickie kept my sweet boy while I flew to the UK for almost two weeks. He came back happy, healthy and loved :) she sent me pictures while I was away. This was my first time leaving him for this long. I won’t hesitate to leave him with her again. Highly recommend her!”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician and ICU nurse at a veterinary teaching hospital for 11 years. I have a farm where I have 2 cats, chickens, 3 dogs, 2 dachshunds and an Australian shepherd. I would love to pet sit your pups and provide an adventurous, peaceful, home away from home. Most weeks I am working from home so I am here all day with my pets and yours. I give numerous potty breaks throughout the day along with pasture walks and trail hikes, all on my property. If I leave for appointments or errands, I am gone no more than 4 hours. I have 22 acres that my pups (and cats and chickens) roam on. The front is fenced and gated but there are still places around the perimeter that does not have a full fence. I can easily keep your pup on a leash while staying if desired. I am happy to crate your pup if you desire during bedtime and/or when I am out for a few hours. I have multiple sizes of crates available so you will not have to bring. I have a background in veterinary medicine and never let my pups out of my sight while we are outside playing.

It was also comforting knowing that she had a background working with a veterinarian for years. I highly recommend her pet services!”

Carla took such good care of my little dog while I had to travel back to California. It was clear from the moment I met her that she was kind and loved dogs. She sent me pictures and video and updated me daily. I couldn’t have for a better sitter for my pup!! I will definitely use her again.
