“This was our second visit with Teresa and she went above and beyond. Our 11-year old beagle had some health issues during his visit and Teresa was all over it. She immediately let me know he didn’t seem like himself, sent us videos that I was able to forward to our vet, and kept me updated. It was a stressful situation, but I knew he was safe with Teresa and she worked seamlessly with us while figured out his situation and next steps. She genuinely cares about the animals in her care and treats them like her own. We will continue booking with Teresa in the future and we highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.
“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Magnolia was amazing with my pups. Gave me updates everyday and even gave me tips on training my hound to be off leash. Will definitely be leaving my pups with her again.”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Mary Ann Packard and my toy poodle Gabby had an initial meet and greet before Gabby’s stay with Mary Ann. For Gabby, it was love at first sight. While I was away, Mary Ann updated me on Gabby’s activities with texts and photos. Gabby seemed to be having so much fun, I feared that she would not want to return home. I found Mary Ann to be responsible, kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog-sitter. I would like to give her the highest rating possible.”
“First stay at Kimiko and Ben’s exceeded my expectations as well as those of my shepherd mix, Juneau. Kimiko walked Juneau multiple times/day, sent a lot of photos, and was in communication with me daily. The facilities for dogs on the property—a large equestrian facility-are spotless. More importantly Kimiko is warm and very knowledgeable about both horses and dogs. Juneau didn’t exhibit any signs of stress while there, eating and sleeping as usual. If you’re looking for people to board your dogs I highly recommend Kimiko and Ben.”
“Christine has been a great “second home” for Tyr. He goes barreling in the door as soon as he sees her. It is wonderful to know he is so happy to be dropped off there and we know he is well taken care of. We would highly recommend Christine.”
“Definitely recommend! My dog had a fantastic time, and it was clear how much Ben enjoyed taking care of him. He was very communicative and sent lots of pic of our dog having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Tina and Jordan took incredible care of our dog, Rae. As a nervous pet parent, I was so grateful for the frequent photo and video updates—they truly gave me peace of mind while we were away. From our very first meeting, I knew Rae was in the right hands, and now that she’s stayed with them, I honestly can't recommend them enough. They listened to all of my concerns, eased my worries, and were wonderfully flexible when our travel plans changed a bit.”

Teresa is the best and help us out in a pinch. She was so warm and welcoming to our pups and kept us informed the entire time. Her home is a welcome retreat for your beloved four legged friends. I highly recommend her for any family looking to board especially if it is your first time or in a jam like we were.
