Floki was well cared and extra happy to be with Christine. I would recomend her highly for your pup and I will be doing business again with her in the future.

We recently moved to the area from out of state and needed to find care for our dogs when we travel. We have gone the boarding at the kennel route in the past and have found it to be extremely stressful for them. They come home sleep deprived and smelly! We have also gone the route of pet sitters who drop in, but then this requires the dogs to be alone in the house in their kennels most of the time. We hadn't really considered leaving them in someone's home until I came across Sara's profile and had a visit with her. She was a fantastic listener and took plenty of time to give me the tour and to learn more about our pets. We just used her services for the first time over the weekend and when we picked the dogs up, they were happy, calm and clean. :-). One of our dogs is a senior dog on medication and overall just a little more needy and clingy and this was not a problem for Sara at all. She is super experienced and our dogs were at ease the first time they met her. She has two older dogs of her own who are absolute sweeties. We look forward to utilizing Sara's services many times in the future!

Sydney was able to help us out on short notice and everything went very smoothly. Our dog seemed very well cared for, communication was great and her home was very well suited for pet sitting.

Kelsey has great communication and I got sooo many photo updates over the weekend. I could tell my pup was quite spoiled with love while he was there and appreciated having two other pups around. We already have a longer stay tentatively planned because we liked her so much. Thanks for loving Marshall like your own, Kelsey! 😊

Caitlin was so incredible to our girls. We got lots of great pictures and updates! She was great for both my super senior and my rocket dog who never wants to quit playing. They were picked up and dropped off which was such a blessing when our flights were at crazy times. Sue gave us the sweetest parting gift as well. Love Caitlin!!!

Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!

Regan did a FANTASTIC job watching my Molly! Molly can be a little timid meeting new people but immediately became friends with Regan. She loved running around the backyard with Luna and Maya. It was so comforting knowing that Molly was not only being taking care of but also being loved like one of her own pets. I received daily updates and pictures of all the fun Molly was having. I will definitely use Regan again!

This was the first time using a puppy daycare. Krisit was amazing! My little Kobe was a handful for me before dropping him off, so I was nervous leaving him. Kristi did a wonderful job with him, and shared lots of pictures of his progress and fun all day! Kobe came back a different, much better behaved puppy, that now love to cuddle and take naps with me! I can't wait for Kobe to visit Kristi again! Thank you so much!

Jon and Jessica were a wonderful choice for our Sammie when we were away. They offered a meet and greet which made the choice even easier, and was so nice to meet their kids too! They provided updates while we were away and Sammie was well taken care of (and tired too!). Would highly recommend them!

About: I tailor my care to you and your pets, with the goal of providing the same love and structure they’re used to. I love to learn their routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel completely at home. I come from a nursing background, so I am comfortable providing medications and treatments. I have a special love for elderly animals! I also have significant farm experience, so if watching over your farm is also something you need, please reach out! I work Monday-Friday 8-4:30 with a very flexible schedule that often includes several days per week working from home. On the days I’m not working from home, I typically am not gone for the entire day. The flexibility of my schedule ensures I can do what I need to care for your pets while we’re together! My goal is to create a space where both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I maintain a calm, clean environment, and provide thoughtful attention and careful supervision.

Emma our rescue pit/lab which we have only had for roughly 3 months did good for her very first time leaving her. She came back with more manners and listens better. Thanks to Christina for not only boarding, but help us in training our puppy. We would love to have Emma stay with her again!

Amazing! Thomas took such great care of our Aggie! Sent us pictures and kept us updated while on our 4 day trip. We were worried as we never had her away but Thomas made sure to let us know how it was going, and make Aggie feel comfortable and at home. Aggie is a BIG girl too! But she had fun! Thank you again! See you next time :)
