Jodie’s home was perfect for my 12+ year old lab. Very dog friendly home, few steps, fenced yard and perfect walking neighborhood. Jodie cared for dog as it was her own.

Jamie was very kind and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them and kept us updated while we were gone. They liked her and had a great time. We would definitely come back again.

Stephen was super flexible for a last-minute boarding. He was kind, respectful and his dog Roscoe was his perfect sidekick for a playtime day for my dogs. Thanks Stephen. We will need you again in the future.

About: Welcome! ✨ My name is Eve, and your fur babies will feel right at home here 💛 I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently live on a farm in Makanda with my partner, where we share our home with horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, five friendly farm dogs, and two farm cats. Our animals are well-socialized and love meeting new furry friends and people alike. Your pets will have plenty of space to play and explore, with a fenced backyard and lots of open acreage to enjoy safely. We take daily walks around the property, provide lots of love and attention, and enjoy sending photo updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel connected while you’re away. No worries if your fur babes can’t come stay with us — I’m also available to travel to you and care for them in the comfort of their own home while you’re away ✨ I treat every animal like family and strive to create a calm, loving, and comfortable environment for each guest 💛 I work from home, mostly available everyday of the week. I can check on your pet throughout the day for walks or simply for hang time. If needed, I’m able to provide animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I’ll always ensure that your fur babies are safe and given adequate attention! I love to give periodic picture updates while going on walks or during play time.

Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!

My Millie LOVED Briana! She let us schedule a meet-and-greet with her own pups. When we first arrived, Millie was so excited that she ran to the door to go in. When I picked her up, she seemed very happy and content. She was even a bit of a naughty girl and jumped out of the car to tell Briana bye one last time!

Dyshyn will always be a go to for my dog. He sends picture updates, spoils your pup, and has a house full of other furry friends to play with! I love how comfortable I can be leaving my sweet girl with him for an extended stay.
