“Rosie, James and family have boarded our corgi twice and our Layla does very well with them. They sent photos regularly and this time sent a video of her playing with their dog as well. Note: my husband dropped her off and forgot to point out her treats and dental chews and they were not used, but Rosie and James’ dogs shared”



“Nancy’s dog hostel was the perfect place for our beloved dog! She had everything under control, there was lots of space to run around and plenty of things to sniff! She was thoughtful, caring and very responsible. We will rebook with Nancy every time we are looking for a sitter (if she’ll have us back of course ;) ) Thanks Nancy!”



“Amanda was great and took good care of my mom’s dog. My mom was in the hospital during this time and it was nice to not worry about her dog! Thank you Amanda! We hope to book with you again soon!”

It was good to meet in advance to have our dogs meet each other, as well as meet their kids to ensure it was a fit and talk through any questions, habits, etc. They are experienced dog owners and made adjustments to make sure my dog fit in to their home, had her space, and felt welcome and loved as if she was in her own home. I appreciated their daily update and easy handoff/pick up.”

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

“By the best dog sitter in the area! Will definitely use her again! I 100% felt my dogs were in caring hands while out of town. Carrie and her family provided a safe and happy environment for my 2 pups! Ten stars!!!”


“Brandi is amazing! She did great with our fur babies and making sure they had a great time. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent and all the updates! Definitely will be booking with her again! ?”


“We contacted Zach at the last minute for an urgent boarding request. He was immediately responsive and happy to help, we dropped the dogs off within an hour of contacting him. He took careful note of all the care instructions we gave him and was calm when we were frantic about our situation. He was flexible and was able to accommodate our need to adjust the pick up time. Our dogs were happy and calm when we picked them up. Our bigger dog loved playing with Zach’s dog while we were away, and as a picky eater we were pleased she ate both her meals while at Zach’s. Thank you so much Zach, our vacation savior!”


“Autumn took great care of our two dogs while we were away! She sent us regular updates that showed how well much fun they were having. Lenny and Roger will definitely be back in the future!”
