“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“My dog had his ‘best vacation’ staying here! I don’t travel often where I need to find him a place to stay—this was the best choice!! He has stayed at the vet before and hated being in a small kennel, he has been to a kennel a couple times, and while taken good care of there—he was separated from being inside a house with a family—what he is used to and what dogs want!!! He is getting older, has medicine he takes and just wants a little love when we were out of town. He quickly made friends with both of their dogs!! Every day I was gone, I received updates throughout the day including pictures showing his fun! I would recommend 100%!! :)”
“Heather was fantastic in caring for our dog! She sent lots of pics and videos of him playing at the park and hanging out with his pals. We really appreciate the care she provided and I know our dog was happy too!”
“This was Maggie’s first time with Jill. She was boarded when she was 1 and had such a traumatic experience we weren’t sure we could leave her with a non-family member again… but she seemed to really enjoy Jill! She was happy to see me upon return, but was also so excited around Jill, I knew she was treated well and loved on. We received pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Thank you, Jill, for loving on our girl. (We’ve already booked Jill for next time!)”
About: I do have 1 German shepherd and a silver fox. Which are separated from the other animals. I have dog ramps and a doggy door. I try to always make sure your dog has fun and is loved and cared for to the fullest extent. I run a business with my husband and I have to be there for a couple hours and some family activities that I have to be present for and I also work part time at a vet office, will try and notify you ahead of time. *All new boarding and day care clients are subject to meet and greet at public dog park. My dog have their own room in the house, with a doggie door that leads to the fenced in back yard. If your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs, not a problem I can keep them apart. Mine is a senior and very friendly. My fox will never come in contact with your dog. I have a space set up by my back door where your dog will sleep at night, it’s just in my kitchen with some baby gates. If you want to provide a dog bed I will put it in there. All I can provide is blankets.
“Emily did a great job caring for our dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very easy to communicate with. She treated our dog like one of her own, even letting him sleep in her bed when he didn’t want to sleep in his kennel! We would definitely use Emily again!”
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable.

About: On top of being a veterinary assistant for over three years, I have also taken care of pets of my own and family and friends' since I was very young. I began working at the humane society at 14 and haven't stopped working with animals since! I have a B.S in Animal Ecology, and am currently working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital with weekends free. I never work past 6:30pm and never go in before 7am. Once a week I am off at 2pm, and another day I do not go in until 12pm. This provides me a flexible schedule to take care of your furry kiddos! I have a large yard that will be fully fenced in by the end of the summer, and a very friendly dog myself who loves to make new friends. I also have very tolerant cats that adapt to new friends as well! I have a spare room and crate available if needed. I have my own nail trimming supplies and transportation for myself and even for your fur baby if needed!
