“Teigan was amazing! My dog Blue can be a little anxious sometimes but she warmed right up to Teigan. She sent such cute pictures and videos and I appreciated that so much!!! Blue had a great time and I could tell when I picked her up that she loved her stay with Teigan. I’ll 100% be asking her to dog sit again ?”
“Shania took great care of my dog while I was away for a few days. She was kind and easy to communicate with, and my dog seemed very happy and relaxed when I got back. I could tell she really loves animals and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Our doggo is skittish and wary of absolutely everyone, but by the end of her two-night stay with Chloe, (less than 36 hours!) she was incredibly comfortable. I can't express what high praise this is coming from our dog! Any pupper would be lucky to stay with Chloe! We are so grateful we found her!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful vacation with Lauren! Our minds was at ease knowing that our fur babies was in such great hands during our honeymoon. Thank you so very much! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Julie was so welcoming and kind. We felt great leaving Monte with her. She sent us updates while we were gone for the day and Monte came home happy and worn out. ☺️”
“Loki loved his stay with Stephanie and her family. Her girls took great care of him. He got lots of playtime and walks. Stephanie was great at communicating. We would definitely have him stay with them again in the future.”
“The pets are always so well taken care of when they go to Crystal's! This was a short visit, but it was invaluable so we could safely move without worrying about our babies.”
“Aisha was great and very accommodating. She boarded Oliver even though it was kinda last minute. And she was understanding when I was late picking up Oliver due to traffic!”
“Steven and Karin did a great job with my dog. They gave him lots of love and sent lots of pictures/updates. My pup had lots of fun. Their dog was super nice and was a great friend for my pup. They took any of my worries very seriously and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and my boy had a good experience. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“You can’t go wrong choosing Chelsea! She has been doing this gig for a long time and it shows—you can really tell she has fantastic (&impressive) insight and understanding of dogs, with extensive knowledge on body language and behaviors. And, it’s obvious she truly cares about all that are on her watch! Our female is pretty skittish around new dogs and new humans. Chelsea was so wonderful in working with me to make a plan to make sure everybody was comfortable and well taken care of while we were out of town. This really meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my fur babies were in amazing hands and having so much fun. Not to mention, she has a fantastic set up for your furry family members to have a great time and get plenty of exercise! I was so impressed! I will definitely be using her in the future, and would highly recommend her service to anybody. Our pups are worn out after a really fun weekend at Chelsea’s! We’re looking forward to next time already!”
About: Your pets are your family and it’s no different when they are with me! I am a stay at home mom so I’m always available to give your pets cuddles or take them out on walks. I have experience with dogs who take medications, have seizures, need special diets and can handle other needs as they arise. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so we are always available to take care of your pet with walks or snuggles! Our yard has a fenced in section for pets and our neighborhood is a great environment for safe walks. We have 2 toddlers who love to run around and play so your pet will be very well entertained. We also have 2 lazy dogs and 1 sleepy cat so if your fur baby prefers naps and cuddles they will fit right in over here as well!
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
About: I have raised my own dog for 10 years and have also fostered 1 puppy. Dogs have been apart of my entire life since childhood. Most weeks I work over the road about 3 days but usually sit at home the rest of the days. Typically don’t leave the house too long during those off days. I have a fenced in yard and 1 friendly senior dog. With clients dogs I will probably go out with them to be extra cautious. They will be treated like my own.
About: My oldest is Bubba 16yr 100 lb black lab mix and my youngest Harley 1yr 65 lb lab shepherd mix. Ive taken care of dogs/cats for over 20 years. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible for boarding, daycare or just to drop in to make sure your furries are exercised and fed. I have a fenced in yard and a playful little girl doggo who will make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. My dogs are spoiled with walks, playing frisbee, daily brushes, homemade food and treats. There is nothing better than getting to spend time with them everyday and would welcome the opportunity to look after your pup. Feel free to ask Bubba and Harley on how well they are treated!
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Sam and her husband are great! They took care of our Goldendoodle for a week. They kept in touch with us during the week with pictures and videos. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring family to watch our Izzy. We highly recommend them and will be using them the next time we leave town. Thank you again Sam for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
