“Jen was amazing. Took my boy on the shortest of notice and sent pictures the whole time. My boy had a health concern that wasn’t bad enough for her to call me while I was away but was worth mentioning when I picked him up which I can’t even say how much I appreciate. I’ve had bad experiences leaving him before so I get very nervous but 10/10 I’d trust Jen with my dogs any day and would go out of my way to book with her again.”
“Kathy looked after our 1yr old Cavalier for 2 nights while we were out of town. Kathy is a knowledgeable and caring dog lover and we have already booked another stay with her.”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Gillian! My dog, Benson, has serious separation anxiety along with specific dietary and medical needs, and it has been such a relief to finally find someone I completely trust to care for him. I never thought I’d see the day where he’d happily run into a sitter’s home—until we found her! From day one, Gillian has gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable, safe, and genuinely happy. She understands all of Benson’s quirks and needs, and treats him with the same patience and love that I do. It’s so clear how much she cares about every dog she looks after and truly treats them as her own. She’s also great about sending daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which give me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I always know he’s in the very best hands with her!”
“We just had our first booking with Thomas and couldn’t be more grateful for his excellent care of our dog Harley.He sent messages and photos daily reassuring us that she was doing well. She had plenty of playtime, walks and attention which she loves. Thomas will definitely be our go to for Harley!”
“Chrissy has done an amazing job watching my dog Riley for a couple of days. Riley and I liked her from the first time we met. He had a lot of fun being with her. I really liked that she provided updates and pictures each day. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Chrissy! 😊”
“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”
“Peg was very responsive, friendly and helpful. She is organized and new the right questions to ask to ensure a successful stay for our pet . From the way copper was bouncing around when we picked him up really enjoyed his stay. I think he loved the freedom of the fenced yard and running free with the other dogs. For Copper, the freedom to run un-tethered is such a treat after spending most of his time on a chain and runner.”
“I dropped Buddy off the morning of 4/9 and picked him up on the 14th. Devin sent a text with pictures to show that Buddy had setteled in and playing with the other dogs. When we got home he slept the day away so I can only assume he had a good time. I would recommend Devin in a heart beat. Next time we need somebody Devin will definitely be the one I call”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
“Mike and Amy are the best. Tonight when they dropped Buddie off, Buddie did not just fly out of the car to greet me. I had to go around to the open door and watch him wagging his tail like crazy in the back of their car and for a moment, I believe he was conflicted because he loves Mike and Amy & Bear so much that he didn't want to choose! It was sweet and made me happy that boarding him didn't seem to work out because Mike, Amy and Bear give him nonstop attention and love that no boarding place could. 💙”
“Anna took great care of my lab Zola while I was away for a long weekend! She was super communicative and responded right away. Zola was all smiles when I picked her up! Will definitely rebook for boarding in the future :)”
“Vera was wonderful with our dog! She has an amazing setup with a great backyard and lots of places to walk. She played with our dog so many times and gave her so much love and attention. So grateful to have found her!”
“Cindy and Ken were wonderful to Dash! They kept me posted as to what and how he was doing. They also sent me beautiful pictures of him that clearly showed he was LOVING his “vacation” with them. Thank you, both! ??”
“Ginger was amazing with Otis. It was our first time leaving him but she assured us with daily updates, pictures and videos. He had a wonderful time playing with Ranger and really settled in nicely. Definitely recommend Ginger and will book with her again in the future.”
“Jodi took fantastic care of Bella (Lab) during over vacation. Great communication before and during the stay - many pictures. Having a fenced in backyard is great but Bella really enjoyed the daily walks on nearby paths through the woods. Jodi went above and beyond, obtaining more of her preferred dog food for the last day - as we miscalculated.”
About: I have worked with animals, both large and small, since I was a child. I have experience as a veterinary tech, and I have trained multiple dogs throughout the years. I have also worked at the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, both caring for and evaluating animals. I have special needs pet experience, including running IVs, and giving medications (aurally, orally, injections, etc.). I am not squeamish or shy with any animal, and I have the ability to separate animals from my personal pets and give them their own room! There is a cute town that is very dog friendly, trails, parks and water are aplenty! I word office job during the week, but weekend I stay home and garden/read/take my dog out for walks and swims. I have other pets that I enjoy caring for as well, and my dog and I spend a lot of time cuddling. I have a separate guest room, furnished with a bed for them to relax in. All my animals are well-socialized and can be put into their personal bedroom as needed. I small yard for them to play, and direct access to wooded trails behind my house.
