“My pup loves spending time with Barbara and her family! It’s such a relief to have someone like Barbara to take care of my girl while I’m out of town”


“Raegan took such good care of our dog, sending pics and notes throughout his stay. She accommodated our last minute request and was kindly flexible with our unplanned & unavoidable changes in dropoff and pick up times. Thank you so much, Raegan! We will not hesitate to have our dog stay with you again!”


“We are so happy we found James, he was great with our malamute, has an amazing fenced yard, flexible with our schedule, and has great energy! Will be booking again soon for sure!”


“Michael is my hero! I was desperate for someone to care for my nervous, separation-anxiety prone Cane Corso when a planned house sitting by my daughter had to be cancelled two days before my scheduled surgery and subsequent hospitalization due to her contracting COViD. Michael answered and came to my rescue almost immediately after I sent the request. I cannot thank him enough for his responsiveness and skill at handling my big baby boy. He quite literally has helped me to save my leg. He was a blessing in my time of need. I cannot say enough good things about Michael, nor do I have the words to express how extremely grateful I am for him. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.”


“Evelyn always takes great care of my dog! They go on frequent walks and she provides a lot of pictures of the dogs having fun together! Definitely recommend Evelyn to anyone.”


“This was Odin's first time away from both his humans, and we could not have asked for a better dog-sitter duo than Mandy and Bowie! Based on the pictures and videos Mandy sent us, Odin had a blast! He slept for a solid 16 hours after he got home :)”


“Rumor had a great stay with Tonya. Tonya was very thorough and punctual about arranging meet and greet/dropoff/pickup. I got photo updates on most days and she is very quick to reply to messages. Would book again!”


“Stephen was wonderful when I needed someone to watch Ruri last minute. He responded quickly, remained communicative, and went out of his way to make it possible for me to bring Ruri by same-night. Ruri was well taken care of, well loved, and seemed to really enjoyed Stephen’s company/play! Thanks Stephen!”



“The boys loved staying here. They have a great home and the other pups they watch are all great with my boys. They get ouside and get out a lot of energy. My pups came home sleepy and happy! 10/10 recommend.”


“Melanie did a great job with our two Frenchies over the weekend. Our dogs can be a needy and she was very accommodating to their needs. I would highly recommend her.”


“Sierra was excellent, very communicative, took lots of photos and clearly took good care of our dog. Our dog has a large emotional range, and we can always tell if he wasn’t in a good place. He came back normal, happy and balanced. Thank you very much Sierra!”


“Potato loved being there and was even a bit down coming back. She bonded so well with Amanda’s daughter too. Amanda was great, kept me updated, and I didn’t have to worry one bit while she stayed there.”


“Erica was amazing! She was so flexible and very communicative. Her dogs are great too! I will be having my dog stay with her again in the future!”


“Absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines you’ve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!”


“Well let me begin by saying, this is my first time ever boarding any of my animals. We spent a lot of time reviewing options and decided on Sara and Tom’s home boarding. I hate to call it boarding because it felt like finding a family run daycare center for my kids. Spotless, caring, super communicative and professional. That is where Beau, our 1 year old yellow lab, full of pep and puppy spent 16 days. We are incredibly lucky to find you! I immediately booked my next vacation knowing that Beau will be in outstanding hands and with good friends❤️. We also did a doggy play day beforehand and that was outstanding. By the way, when Beau came home he smelled and looked fantastic. Wow! Thank you for our new family care home!”


“Jesse and Colin were great to work with and great with my shy and reactive dog. They had excellent communication throughout, asked good questions about our dog's particular brand of reactivity/shyness and schedule, and gave her all the space she needed with new people. We got daily photos and little snippets of her day, and loved hearing about how she was opening up with them. We'd be happy to book here again and definitely recommend them as great sitters!”


“Cassie was able to accommodate a last minute request for my dog and I am very grateful for that. My dog came home happy and tired. She shared several picks and all was well during the overnight stay. Would most definitely board with her again.”


“Liz was so kind and specialized working with senior dogs. Liz was a burst of refreshing energy and was very responsive. Our boy Chocko had an absolute blast. We did boarding and it was great. Chocko had so much fun we may do doggy daycare occasionally just so he can hang with other dogs! We highly recommend Liz!”


About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

“Desiree and Steve again took wonderful care of our havapoo for a week+ vacation. Our dog got lots of cuddles and came home happy and healthy. They communicated well during our trip and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them to others.”
