“I’m so grateful to have found Ashley and her family to watch our pup. She watched Kobe a few times now and each time we left him, we had a peace of mind while traveling. She sends pictures and videos often and during Easter, she even sent us a cute picture with bunny ears on him. I know Kobe loves being there and he especially loves playing with their pup Winston. We are so grateful to have a sweet family like Ashley’s to help watch our pup when we have to be away from him. Thanks again!!”

I was right.Will definitely use her again!!”

“I couldn't enjoy my vacation without Ken & Janet. I love knowing there letting my Golden doodle dogs lay on the couch with them, go outside and encourage them to run around and burn energy, and keep them safe because they're escape artist. This couple is a dog's paradise. Thank you you two for making it possible for me not to worry while I'm away.”

“Alli had so much fun at Stephanie’s house. She got to play with her dog and go on many walks. I loved receiving all of the updates and photos. Alli can be a little clingy but it went over wonderfully. I hope to have Stephanie watch her again soon!”
10. John D.
“We were very appreciative of John to be able to accommodate a last minute booking. We had 3 medium and large dogs for him to watch for a weekend. Upon pickup the dogs seemed very happy and not stressed. The large fenced yard was great for the dogs to play and sniff. John followed the feeding instructions, and we especially appreciated the pictures. It’s always nice to see that they’re doing well. This was our first time doing an in-home boarding, and I feel it was very well worth it! Thanks for taking good care of our pack John!”
11. Shannon F.
About: I have taken care of dogs or owned dogs since I was a young child. We currently have 2 female dogs, both very loving. We have a 6 year old small hound mix who is very laid back, and a fun loving 3 year old golden doodle. Both grew up with young children, I have two sons that are great with both of them. They are both trained to use the backyard and we leave the crate open for them to go in and relax at their leisure. I am home full time. Unfortunately my one son and I are allergic to cats, so we cannot house sit them. We would be happy to watch your dog if you are going away for a few days or even a week. We just ask that the dogs are friendly with others, trained, & good with children. I am a full time mom of 2 dogs and 2 boys. I am a remote travel agent, but all my work is flexible, so I work around everyone else’s schedules pretty regularly. The dogs go out every 2 hours, and I provide frequent water & feeding as necessary. If your dog has a specific schedule that is fine too! I have a fenced in yard, 2 children, and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog occupied. They will probably be exhausted from running around all day playing ball with the others. I will keep sleeping quarters separate if need be, just let me know what would make them feel most at home!
12. Ashleigh T.
