“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!”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“I enjoyed getting away for a weekend and knowing Bosco was in good hands allowed me to enjoy even more. Leo provides me pictures showing me he was getting plenty of fresh air and exercise.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life! Dogs in my care will enjoy my large fenced in yard with my 2 fur babies who love making new friends. Your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time involving fetch, frisbees and sniffing. My fur babies are high energy, however they get plenty of daily exercise that requires lots of napping and snuggles. This makes my home compatible with high energy dogs or senior dogs. You can expect your pet to receive a great deal of attention in a safe environment specific to their needs. Pets visiting should be friendly and crate trained in case of emergencies. All dogs are required to be up to date on all vaccines and must be actively receiving flea/tick MEDICATION prevention. Unfortunately, Pets with signs of fleas will not be welcomed. I am experienced in caring for all ages from puppies to seniors dogs. I am a full time RN but have free time mostly on weekends. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home to care for your pet with the exception of an hour when my husband is leaving for work and I am coming. I currently work full time as a nurse. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home with the exception of an hour or 2 in the morning when I’m coming home and he’s leaving for work. I have a large fenced in yard that is 75% privacy fence. I do require a meet and greet to ensure the safety of your/my pets. Pet must be up to date on all vaccines. Pets are required to be actively on flea/tick medication. Any sign of fleas will result in pet being declined for services.
“Kathleen was great! She kept us updated with pictures and messages. We would most certainly let Piper stay with Kathleen and we already have booked her again for drop-in visits.”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“Dutch loved his time with Ric!! I got tons of cute pics of Dutch while we were away and he was a happy, tired pup when we picked him up from a fun weekend of playing!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”
“Our dog seemed to love the farm life! They went for 3 mile hikes up the hill every day. Christina’s barn stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so it felt very cool for our dog in the hot days. Based on her previous experiences, she does not mix dogs when their owners are not around, but our dog spent plenty of time around her family. She sent videos of our dog playing with people and kids as well. The kids loved him!”
“Maria is amazing! She was responsive, flexible, and kind. She took great care of me senior dog and I will definitely use her again. She even sent him home with treats. Highly recommend!”

“Have never felt more comfortable leaving my Gypsy with anyone. Yes, even family. She acted like it was her second home from day one due to Joni making her so welcome. Joni is truly a god sent with animals. When we picked her up she was so glad to see me then went back to playing. I can’t thank her enough and will recommend her to all my friends. Thank you Joni and will definitely see you again!”
“Michelle, Luke, and there staff of little blonde helpers were just the best to take care of Sophie! Lots of attention, exercise, and true caring. Sophie was there for a full week, I received daily pics and updates. They made Sophie part of their family - worry free stay for me. It’s so great to know when we were on vaca and far away that Sophie was in a great situation.”

“Victoria watched Moose overnight (11 month old Labrador Retriever) as we attended a wedding out of town. Moose is a very sweet, big and ill -mannered boy. Victoria did a fabulous job with Moose, sent multiple updates throughout the evening and the next morning, and eased any concerns that we had about his big sleepover! Victoria is kind and warm, and a wonderful pet sitter. I picked up a happy boy who enjoyed his big adventure. I am grateful that we have found a high-quality and dependable sitter for Moose, and I highly recommend Victoria.”
“Bradley did such a great job of taking care of my kitty for the weekend! She makes sure she has all the information she needs beforehand. My cat has medical issues and requires special care and it didn't phase her. I would choose her to take care of my kitty again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
