“Hannah is amazing! She's a real dog whisperer. Our pup HATES cats so we were nervous to live him with her because Hannah cares for a number of cats as well. Low and behold, this dog SLEPT in the same bed as a couple of cats and he was completely unfazed. Unreal. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to booking again soon :)”


“Mairany was excellent in every way! Great communication, and she made us feel very comfortable that Zoey was in good hands! If we are ever in the area again, we would certainly want to book with Mairany again!”


“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”


“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”


“Beth was fantastic. We had never left our girl for so long but she made it super easy…sending pics and updates on a regular basis. We will definitely be using Beth again!!”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Joe! He took fantastic care of our dog, Tilly, while we were away on vacation for a week. Joe was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring Tilly received all the love and care she needed. We came home to a happy and healthy pup, and we are so grateful for Joe's excellent service. Highly recommend!”


About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“My dear pet stayed the weekend with Joanna and Travis. They took excellent care of her, sent photos and updates. They provide a safe and happy place for dog boarding. I highly recommend them. They are great people.”


“Brandy is amazing! Valley always enjoys herself when she’s over there. Brandy updates constantly and sends photos to you with the updates. She was also very helpful with letting me pick my dog up later than I expected to be in town!”


“Dana was amazing and took such good care of Bentley while we were on vacation! She communicated daily and sent us adorable pictures that let us know he was living his best life while we were away. He was very happy and content when he came home. I would 100% recommend her and would use her again the next time we go away.”


“Our experience with Ashley was awesome! She was very responsive and on top of our booking. Ashley sent us a photo & note to keep us updated. We came back to a very happy pup, who was clearly delighted with her boarding experience. We would not hesitate to book with Ashley again.”



“Stacey was wonderful to work with leading up to boarding by dog Lucy. She answered so many questions friendly and thorough. I was sent photos during my week and she answered my inquires on how Lucy was doing. It was a relieve that I was able to leave Lucy with someone so she could play with kids and also another dog. I would recommend her and will definitely use her again.”


“Sierra's home was an absolute perfect fit for my dog. It was so nice to know that someone was taking care of her like I would and she adored the extra attention. I'd give 10 stars if I could!”


About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

“Nicole did a great job with Ruby. She was attentive to Rubys needs, gave timely updates and was open to me bringing Ruby's baby pool. Nicole was very professional and I highly recommend her to others.”


“Angel was great to work with. Our dog came home happy, she provided pictures during our trip, and even met us off the Interstate to pick him up and drop him off. That made it so convenient! We will definitely use her again!”


About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I've always had a dog since I was born and often take care of my friends' pets. I have the time and knowledge to love your baby like my own. I am a JMU professor who is on sabbatical until January. This means I am working from home and will have plenty of time for your pet's needs. I have a large yard with areas for dogs to play and run. I have a French Bulldog who loves other animals and is always looking for a playmate.
