“Kristie and the family did such a great great job with Quinn. It’s never a easy looking after a young puppy but they had greatest patience. Kristie was easy to communicate with and sent me “pupdates” daily. I’m so happy to have had Kristie and her family watch my little puppy and would definitely recommend and use again in the future.”
“Donna was so good with my dog Rico. She was able to connect with Rico and relax him when I dropped him off and she sent me pictures of his progress throughout the day. I will use her again!”
“Would give 10 stars if we could. Lisa is professional, responsive and took wonderful care of our 2-year-old small breed dog Rita. We were so pleased with her care that we booked a 5-week extended stay for an upcoming overseas trip, with full confidence that Rita will be cared for like her own. We love that she has a dog of her own who is great with ours. Lisa provides daily photos and communication which helped us feel connected. Highly recommend.”
“Meleah took great care of my Australian Shepherd! She was great with communication and kept me updated with pictures the whole time. She was also very accommodating with last minute bookings. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have one Aussiedoodle and one furrry cat. I would love to host your fur babies and make them feel at home while they’re away from home. I let my animals roam freely in the house as they please. Let us build a relationship with you and provide them with companionship in safe loving environment whenever you need. I’m currently a stay at home mom that will be home with your fur babies 24 hours a day available 7 days a week. I have one non school age child that will be home with me also during day time hours. I have a fenced yard and my own fur babies to keep yours company. They will have a safe and comfortable environment just as my fur babies do. Any special or specific needs can be accommodated when we discuss your pets needs. I will be sure to communicate with you about any concerns or updates during the stay.
About: I have watched & took care of families animals since I was a teenager! I have lots of pet experience! I would prefer your fur baby crate trained, spayed & neutered I’m currently a stay at home wife with my toddler! I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby and give them all the love and attention they need! I have a fenced in yard & your fur baby will be treated like one of my own they are apart of my family and treated like my child. In my home they are allowed on my couch but if you don’t want them on the furniture I will stick to your rules so your pets don’t get confused!
“Couldn't be more pleased with how well Jessie's stay was. Was my first time to leave her and was a little nervous about it, however Anna provided me with updates and Jessie had a great time. Would definitely recommend them.”
“Lauren clearly loves all the dogs she takes care of! I was glad to be able to leave my puppy in good hands and with other dogs that all got along great. I will definitely bring Luna back when I need a good overnight home and don't want to worry about how she's doing.”
About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
“I don’t trust anyone with my baby except Maryann! She loves my girl like she’s one of her own and that means so much to us. We travel with no concern for Monkey’s well being because we know she’s in the best hands!”
About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.
“Shane and Kayla were absolutely fantastic with Dolly they were super informative with updates every morning and TONS of pictures which we adored. We will definitely be booking again!! Super trust worthy with her schedule as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of my puppies for over 6 years now! I absolutely love all kinds/ types of puppies! Neighbors, friends, family, and others have relied on me to walk, feed, and love on their fur babies!! I am a Senior at Troy University. I have time throughout my day and night to come love on your babies like they are my own! I will always make your babies my priority!! I offer pet sitting and pet walking! I will treat your house with the utmost respect. I will make sure I take care of all the things you love.
“Hannah was great! She is extremely quick to respond and communicate if you have any questions or needs. She took great care of our pup and we could leave confident he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!!”
