“Amy and her family were great, with our puppy Sadie! This was the first time Sadie was away from home and family, but Amy made us feel comfortable about leaving her. She kept us informed with videos and pictures. And when we came to pick Sadie up, I don't think Sadie was ready to leave! We will definitely be using Amy again, and would recommend to others!”


“Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)”


“Amber was great! She made sure Dexter and Bella would get along with her and her dogs before even accepting my request. She listened to all my special care instructions and even let me know of any concerns that arose over their stay with her. I definitely recommend!!”


“Jessica and her family were so absolutely amazing. She was wonderful with Taco. The care she showed him was obvious. He was so happy when I left him, she kept me updated on how he was doing, and he was happy when I picked him up. He will be back.”


“Fantastic care. My dog at first didn’t care I was there when I picked her up because she was having a good time. Her kids are gentle and sweet with the dogs. The place was very clean and tidy which is a plus. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off 10/10 would rover again.”


“He was extremely friendly and took notes while receiving medical and habit instructions for our puppies. He sent us updates on a regular bases and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommended!!!”


“Have had Kaylee watch my dog Bruno multiple times now she is a great sitter always sends me updates and is very easy to communicate with Will always see if Kaylee is available first if im in need of a sitter”


“Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.”


“Brittany and her family were awesome to our 2 fur pups during their stay. She sent us pictures and updates of how they were and how they had been adjusting in her home. Brittany is very experienced and highly recommend. Thank you again Brittany to you and your family. -Rodriguez Family”


“Dex and Chase came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. I really appreciated the messages and photos that showed them playing, relaxing, and enjoying their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.”


“Our Winslow had a great time with Van for his 3 day stay, and we were confident he was in good hands when we left him. She provided detailed update messages and pics & vids. He enjoyed his furry friends who reside there. Your pup is in good hands with Van!”


About: I’ve taken care of all four legged friends for over 10 years! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for for their fur babies, bathing, feeding, and grooming. I am currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I’m available for boarding throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and one friendly pup to keep your fur baby comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed! Hope to here from you!

“Cassidy was fantastic with our pup! It was nice to get picture updates and to see that our pup was being loved as much as she would have been at home. This was a great relief especially since our dog can get nervous in new places. I am thankful that Cassidy took the time to meet us and our dog before hand, she was concerned with her feeding, sleeping, potty schedules this made for a smooth drop off. I would highly recommend Cassidy to anyone looking for a caring home to for their pup to stay in!”


About: Have owned dogs/cats for the last 15 years and have experience with both puppies and dogs that need special/extra care. Expect lots of pics of your babies enjoying themselves. Work from home so I can give your pet all the attention that it needs and deserves! Built in golden retriever bff that loves every furry friend it meets. I have a 1 and 1/2 year old golden retriever that is ready to keep your fur babies company. Frequent trips outside and walks are just part of the everyday adventure.

“I cannot say enough great things about Kelly and her family! They took in my 8 year old girl and made her feel at home from the beginning. They were understanding when she was anxious, and gave her so much love and attention, and really made her feel incredibly comfortable. Kelly was very quick to respond and send picture updates. Her home offered a lot of space for the dogs to run around and burn energy, in addition to taking them on daily walks! I will most definitely be reaching out to Kelly again and I highly recommend her to anyone, she was absolutely wonderful”


“Chris took excellent care of my Luna. Sent me picks of her several times. Can’t say enough good about how he cared for my fur baby. I plan on using him again. I will never use a traditional kennel again. Thank you Chris!!!!”


About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From walking neighborhood dogs as a teen to working alongside vets overseas, I’ve spent years understanding and respecting what our four-legged friends need to thrive—not just survive the day. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Safety and comfort are always top priorities. What truly sets me apart is the environment I’ve created. I have a dedicated, secure space just for dogs—with separate fenced areas for different sizes and temperaments. I don’t just offer “watching”—I offer enrichment, structure, and connection tailored to each pup’s needs. I offer structured walks daycare and boarding on weekends and Mondays while I built my full-time business for dog enrichment and adventure outing with our 4 legged friends. Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. At my home, dogs enjoy a peaceful, secure environment with a fully fenced 5-foot yard in a quiet, remote setting. The fence is privacy-screened for a low-stimulation, low-stress atmosphere where dogs can relax and be themselves. Inside, I offer a climate-controlled space with both crate options and free areas, depending on your dog’s comfort level and needs. There’s also a designated playground space for fun, structured activity and enrichment time. Your dog won’t be alone—my own dog Olli, a calm and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, acts as the gentle greeter and companion for pups who enjoy company. He’s well-socialized, laid-back, and a natural at making new dogs feel safe and welcome. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet spot to chill, I create a personalized experience that feels like a home away from home.

Stephen W.
“I known Stephen for over a year now and I have to say he is a great friend and a wealth of knowledge . I recently got my first ever English bulldog and wasn’t sure on some of the best ways to clean his wrinkles and feet to help make sure he doesn’t have yeast issues, so I asked Stephen and it just happened he once had one and he showed me the best ways of cleaning him and his hidden little tale pocket and so now every time I head out of town I board him up with Stephen because I know he will give him the best care . I highly recommend to anyone who is needing some one to walk or help with your pup to contact Stephen and give him a shot.”
