“Bruno is awesome with Lavender! He sends tons of pics of what she’s doing throughout the day so I know how she’s doing and he treats her like his own! Will definitely use him again!”



“We’ve had all five star experiences. We have a mini doodle who has anxiety and she got more and more comfortable with each stay. Our girl loves being outside and there is plenty of space to explore. Lots of communication and feedback. Highly recommend!”


“Teddy had a fabulous time at Lynn's. We were visiting Columbia to attend our grandson's graduation and we needed someone to take care of him for the day. Teddy is used to having a lot of love and attention and we were a bit nervous about leaving him. However, Lynn made him feel very comfortable, provided a very dog-friendly environment, and sent us pictures throughout the day. He was not even very excited to see us when we came to pick him up. He said "hello" to us and then ran right back into Lynn's home. Highly recommend Lynn. You will have peace of mind knowing that your dog will be in excellent hands”


“Vanessa was amazing with our puppy! She accepted a very last minute booking for a nearly three month old puppy. She has lots of space for dogs to roam in her backyard. Our puppy was returned to us happy, clean, and pleasantly exhausted from all his playtime. Rebooking with her immediately for boarding!”


“Our Henry is a challenge, being a rescue and Learning life for the first time. Alicia & James are caring and very helpful. Their house and fenced yard are perfect for Henry’s energetic spirit, and their dog Hana is a great friend to him already after the first week. We feel completely safe leaving our boy with them and highly recommend them as sitters☺️.”


“Elisha is amazing! Goes above and beyond to communicate and Astro always has an amazing time staying over. Would totally recommend you book her for your next service!”


About: I have been caring for dogs for myself, family and friends for more than 35 years. I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I have two dogs of my own - mini poodle and mini golden doodle - who are my babies. I will treat your pets just as I would my own, plenty of play, cuddles and belly rubs. I volunteer with a lost animal resource group, helping reunite pets and their families. I can also work with your dog on basic commands and administer oral and topical medications. I have a large fenced in yard for them to run in. I am currently retired and my schedule is free, so I can accommodate your schedule from morning to evening. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends. I am able to take your dog on a walk in the neighborhood, or I can let them out in the yard if it is fenced. I can feed and give medications if that is necessary. I am reliable and dependable and love being with animals. Whatever your pet needs, I will follow your instructions and provide the best possible care for them. If your dog is staying with me, they will be able to enjoy a fenced in .75 acre yard. They will need to meet my two dogs, so a meet and greet is needed to ensure they get along. FOR DAYCARE: **Pick Up & Drop Off Times** Drop off starts at 7am, pick up by 7pm (If you need special time accommodations please let me know and I will try to accommodate.

About: Hi, my name is Susan and I am paws-atively changing the game in pet care. I have 17 years of experience, caring for pets from rabbits to cats and dogs. My life has been richer with fur babies by my side. They add joy to my life as they give back so much. Find your fur-ever friend here and I will provide paws-ative care for your fur baby! I am available seven days a week to give your fur baby plenty of good quality care! It is my job to protect them and I take that seriously. My clients find I am responsible and reliable.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 and totally fell in love with it! I also foster dogs regularly, so I’ve worked with all kinds of pups—shy, playful, senior, puppies—you name it. I really care about making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Whether they’re into snuggles, playtime, or just chilling out, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like my own and want their time with me to be just as fun as your vacation! I work from home and always make sure my dogs are taken care of first—so adding another pup (or two!) just means a little more time and a lot more fun. I live near a lake and go on walks multiple times a day, with plenty of potty breaks in between. Most of my free time is spent walking, playing, or snuggling with the dogs. Your pup will be in great hands, getting lots of attention and love throughout the day! I have a friendly, mini golden doodle who would keep your pups company too! I have a fenced patio for the dogs to bird/squirrel watch if they desire. I can accommodate your dogs to make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. Also I have a dog camera to monitor when (if) I'm not home.

About: I provide one-on-one care and only take care of one dog at a time, so your pup will always get my full attention and love. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for like part of the family. 🐾💙 I have experience providing attentive and loving care for pets, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring a clean, safe environment. I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds and enjoy building trust with animals to make them feel secure and happy. As a doodle(s) pawrent, pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine. I start and end the day with feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I build in time for play, grooming, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, structured environment to keep pets happy and healthy. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have a spacious deck and a whole basement dedicated to my doodle(s)—and it could be a cozy space for yours too!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud pup parent to my 8-year-old Goldendoodle, Max. If I had to choose between hanging out with dogs or people—dogs win every time! I'm known among friends and family as the “official dog lady” because I truly treat every dog like my own. Whether your pup needs cuddles, long walks, playtime, or medication, I’ve got it covered. I'm meticulous when it comes to care—every detail matters, from feeding schedules to belly rubs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to give dogs regular attention throughout the day—whether it’s potty breaks, walks, meals, or just playtime in the yard. My lifestyle allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s needs, whether that means keeping them company during the day or providing overnight care. In my home, dogs will have a cozy, secure environment to relax and play. I own my home and have a fully fenced yard—perfect for safe outdoor time. Max, my Goldendoodle, is friendly and well-socialized, and he loves meeting new dog friends. I maintain a clean, calm space and ensure each pup has their own comfortable area. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail. I follow instructions to the letter and make sure your dog feels loved, secure, and well looked after—no matter where they are.
