“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

“Leo and his wife were amazing with our dog, Tripp, while we were gone for a week. They sent pictures every single day, let us know how he was doing, and followed any instructions we gave them perfectly. I will absolutely rebook with them if we ever need to travel without our pup again. Thank you both!!”


“Tracy did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo pupper, who's deaf. She sent pics and kept me updated. Highly recommend!!”

“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”

“Joni was great with our dog. She gave us updates and sent us a picture while we were gone. She is very responsive if you have any questions and pick and drop off was a breeze. I highly recommend and will be bringing my dog back to Joni for our next trip.”


“I absolutely love Debbie and Adam. They took such great care of my chihuahua, Ozzie. I got lots of pictures sent to me and I could see both of them involved with loving care for him. They have two small dogs of their own and one of them shared her bed with Ozzie so he’d be happy! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them from now on.”


About: I have had animals ever since I was born and was tasked with taking care of them at a young age. I have two animals myself and believe in treating every pet I see as part of my own family! I am trying to save up enough money to go back to school so help me help you and your furry friends! I work during the week from 8-5 but I am available anytime after 5pm and I am available any time on the weekends as well! I live in a single story ranch home with a large fenced in back yard. Your furry friend will be sharing space with 2 other corgis and cats. My dogs are very dog friendly and love making new friends. All precautions will be taken and I require at least one meet and greet with my dogs before accepting boarding.

“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


“Melissa took great care of my old boy Mikey and he got along well with her doggies especially Marley. Melissa truly cares about animals. Thanks!”


“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Snowflake! She is super responsive, flexible, and our anxious rescue clearly felt completely relaxed with her. She’s great!”


“Bryanna and family did a great job looking after Allie! They were kind and flexible and I know Allie had a great time. Thanks for taking care of our dog!”


“Bradley and their family took great care of Cooper for 4 weeks while we were away on vacation. She took care of Cooper as if he was her own baby boy. She responded immediately to any messages and questions. Cooper was very happy to be with their family and enjoyed his stay very much. We look forward to booking with them again in the future. By far the best sitter we’ve encountered for our Cooper.”
