About: I always had at least one dog in my house growing up. Since graduating college, I have trained and raised 3 puppies. I currently have 6-year-old and 5-year-old Cockapoos. I am active and love to take the dogs with me on my hikes and travels. I am a homeschool mom of four, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm happy to walk early morning, late evening, as well as anytime throughout the day. My dogs are part of our family. I have a fenced-in backyard where they can run and play. Long walks, lots of sniffing, and getting fresh air are what happy, healthy dogs are made of.

“Ninette and Ryan took a very good care of our dog, Lilly!! We were away for a week and they sent pictures and updates daily! I’ll definitely book again and would recommend it!! It was a home away from home for our dog!!”


“Amanda took exceptional care of our pup, Reddi. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. When we picked up Reddi, she was absolutely beaming with happiness. We truly hope Amanda will be available for our next trip!”


“Kristen is amazing! She took the best care of my boy! She sent photos and kept me up to date! I was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in great hands! I would highly suggest her if you’re seeking someone to love on your baby while you’re away! I’ll definitely use again in the future!”


“Holli was incredible! She was willing to take my dog on short notice and I felt like he was in great hands. She sent me daily photos and was easy to communicate with. Thanks, Holli!”
