“Many thanks to John, Rachel and their sweet family! Millie had the absolute best time and they treated her like one of their own. Their fenced in backyard and dog Hunter made for plenty of playtime and she received lots of love!”
“They were great with our unpotty trained puppy. They helped quite a bit and we are trying to rebook them again for another weekend trip a few weeks out. We hope to have our puppy on a better potty schedule by then and have no doubt that Daine and Ashley will keep up the routine. They are great.”
“Bridget took great care of our Junie and made sure she got her twice daily medication. She sent photos every other day of Junie playing with two other dogs in the yard.”
“Amazing job definitely returning!! First time was nervous, but I’m happy to say Marco had a blast. He loved everyone and he loved the kids so happy for my dog Marco. Accommodating letting me know how Marco was doing sending pictures. They really worked well with my time of pick up, which was super early in the morning! They also agreed to my last-minute request, which was amazing!!! Thank you both!!!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).
“Brittney and Max were great! They loved having our dog (Leo) and were great about sending updates and pictures while we were away! We were very happy with them, recommend them to anyone and if we need a sitter again we’ll be going back to them!”
“Amazing service!! She cared for my puppy just like it was her own dog and part of the family! Kept me updated and send me pictures of my puppy without me asking. Made me feel like my puppy was safe and was always professional and amazing with communication. I will definitely use her again without a doubt!”
“Lucy is SO wonderful! She is flexible, communicative and welcoming. She made sure our shy girlie was comfortable and well taken care of. She provided photos daily and sweet updates! Whether you’re leaving your dog with her for a day or a week, he/she will come home happy and tired!!! 💛”
“Mackenzie Did an awesome job watching our two dogs while we were out of the country. She kept in touch to let us know how they were doing. Mackenzie obviously loves dogs and that shoes in how she takes care of them.”
“Cooper has stayed with Cassie and Ben numerous times and is always SO excited to go back. They’re our go-to when he needs a home away from home and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Leslie was very kind and patient with my puppy. She took very good care of her and I felt more than safe leaving my pup with her. Leslie’s home was also clean and well put together and filled with dog toys! If I ever need boarding again I will for sure be booking with her.”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Amanda was wonderful with my fur babies. She is responsive and sent so many pictures of them all having fun. We will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“Shawn is the BEST! Our dog is older and she can be a bit stand off-ish but he took amazing care of her! He provided great updates, photos, and asked questions proactively whenever he wasn’t sure about something. It says a lot when your dog comes home happy as can be and acts like she never went anywhere. We will definitely rebook with him anytime we go out of town! 5 stars!!!”
“Dog was in great hands with Billie. Billie was also very accommodating when I had to make a last minute schedule change. Would definitely recommend Billie if you're looking for safe and reliable care for your pet.”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“Cai loved Carmen and Kate and their crew. He enjoyed all the toys! We will definitely call Carmen and Katie when Cai needs a fun place to stay. Thanks so much. Cai and Margaret”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Buckner home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Buckner.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Buckner sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
