“we were hesitant leaving our very active puppy with anybody, but Aric was able to answer all our questions and quickly! After booking and then showing up, our puppy had thrown up as we pulled into the driveway, Aric and his wife were extremely kind and cleaned the mess for us! They were great! They checked in and sent updates as asked throughout the week. We would definitely book with them again!”


“My two dogs had a great overnight visit. Ashley and her husband were very accommodating. Communication was crystal clear. They had a beautiful home lots of room for our dogs to have fun!”


“Melody is an absolute gem! Many, many thanks to Melody (and her husband, Sean) for welcoming our pups into their home and for providing such great care, love, and attention during their stay.”


“We just moved to the area and didn’t have any loved ones to watch after our pup. However, we immediately felt safe leaving our pup in their care and hope to use them again in the future!”


“What an outstanding time Gracie had staying with Darlene and her family! She had never had an overnighted at a strangers house before and now she had 7 in a row!! Darlene had invited us over for a pre-stay visit and within minutes both Gracie & I were sure we’d made a good choice. Darlene has a wonderful place catering to animals, with plenty of space away from traffic & everyday distractions with a fenced play area for the usual shenanigans. ? Both the house and her family (humans & dogs & cats) are so welcoming, safe and clean. As excited as she was to see me after 7 days, I could tell she wanted to stay longer. I anticipated that as Darlene sent photos and updates to me everyday. Gracie has mad some new friends and can’t wait for the next sleepover. Thank you Darlene!!”


“Bethani was wonderful with our dog. She was attentive and could tell he was a little nervous when he first arrived and knew exactly what to do to calm him down and let him feel comfortable and as I was walking away I knew he was in good hands. She provided daily feedback on my pup with pictures and gave him lots of excersize and love. highly recommend Bethani and will use her again in the future”


“Exquisite as always. Victoria is the ideal sitter who always goes above and beyond for our pupper. She is so thoughtful and flexible! The pictures tell the tale of his vacations! She is the best of the best.”



“Lynden was great! I would recommend him to take care of your pet any day. Our pup took to him immediately, and Lynden treated her like his own. Lynden was extremely responsible and kind throughout.”


About: Experienced vet assistant and kennel technician with a strong background in both dog and cat care. I've volunteered at animal shelters and lived in a multi-pet home, providing daily care, enrichment, and love to animals of all breeds and temperaments. I work from home and can provide near-constant care and attention for your pets. They’ll never be left alone for more than an hour or two, ensuring a safe, supervised, and comforting environment at all times. Your pets will enjoy a loving, comfortable home with plenty of freedom to relax—including cozy spots on the furniture. They’ll have safe playtime in my fully fenced yard, where they can explore and burn off energy. At night, they’ll sleep peacefully in their crate, but don’t worry—I provide plenty of fun and enrichment during the day to make sure they’re happily tuckered out and ready for a restful sleep. Every pet gets personal attention and care tailored to their needs, so they feel right at home.

“First time boarder for our puppy and it went wonderfully. Our puppy seemed right at home and had fun playing with Angela's puppy. She has a great fenced yard the dogs can play in as well. We will definitely use Angela again!”


About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.


“Caitlin gave our pup the best week ever while we were away! Dolce got to hang out in the house, run around in the yard, and during the day got to play with the daycare pups at the Cedar River Dog Farm. She even got to snuggle with Caitlin at night. All in all, it was perfect! Caitlin's communication was always immediate, and pictures/videos were so welcome to receive. Thanks again, Caitlin! Dolce can't wait to come back.”


“We were so blessed to have been able to leave our babies with Casey & Luigi! We weren’t sure we would be able to honeymoon due to covid and when things fell into place last minute, they were there for us!! So flexible and so sweet to communicate with. We got updates on our pups all week (the longest we’ve gone without them so we were a bit nervous). And what more can I ask for when I pick them up and they’re both alive, well and ready to see us! Lol can’t wait to use them again!”


“Juanyale was very accommodating. We booked last minute and didn't have time for a meeting and greet. Bella was very well taken care of and from the photos that were posted she had a great time playing with Juanyale dog.”

About: 🐾Stay with us perks: I only take 1-2 clients at a time, I work from home and pups have access to a 1 acre fenced yard!🐾 Hi there! Before relocating to Harrison, TN from Seattle, WA, I ran a successful doggy daycare for over 2.5 years. Even before that, I was the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, especially dogs. 🐶❤️. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to loyal Pit Bulls, quirky Pugs to energetic Dachshunds. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs playtime, gentle care, or just a cozy place to nap, I’ve got them covered. Our home is 5 minutes past Harrison Bay State Park and has been set up with doggies in mind: • 🧸 A ridiculous amount of toys • 💧 Fresh filtered water fountains • 🍖 Tasty (owner-approved) treats • 🛏 Plush beds in nearly every corner • 🐕 A full acre of fenced backyard to run and play • 🐾 Doggy pool, bubble blowers, fetch zones, and sun spots galore! I offer daycare from 7 AM to 6 PM with extended hours available by request. I only care for one household’s dogs at a time to ensure your pup gets all the one-on-one attention they deserve. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find someone you trust with your beloved pets. That’s why I approach my work with professionalism, reliability, and lots of heart. I value clear communication and punctuality, and I ask the same from the amazing pet parents I work with Whether your pup is here for daycare or an overnight stay, they’ll be loved, pampered and snuggled. 💕🐾 Pet care is built into my daily life, I’m home full-time, aside from the occasional appointment or errand. My spouse also works from home, so there’s almost always someone here to provide love, supervision, and attention. Your dog will be part of our daily routine, not just an add-on. ❤️🐾 Whether your pup is staying in my home or I’m coming to yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with crate training and can keep your pup on their established routine. I also take safety seriously. I’m prepared for emergencies with first-aid supplies, emergency vet info on hand, and clear protocols in place. When I’m staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect. Keeping things tidy, sticking to your pet’s usual schedule, and making sure they feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings.

Carolyn F.Star Sitter
“Carolyn is the best! My husband and I travel multiple times throughout the year and we are very picky about who we leave our pup, Woodford, with. Not only was he completely at ease with her but she had back up plans to fit his personality if he was uncomfortable in any way. Her flexibility is unmatched. We were delayed for several hours coming home from a trip once and she made sure he was never without care. She genuinely loves animals and it shows! We will always continue to book with her and we have recommended her to several of our friends!”
