“I can’t recommend Jani and Paul enough! They were prompt with communication and flexible in scheduling drop off/pickup times. Birdie seemed to have a blast there and will definitely rebook their services the next time I need it.”


“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”


“Deb was great! We originally book with just one dog for the weekend of our wedding and ended up getting a second one and she was willing to watch them both. She was flexible with us to let us come pick them up to have them be included in some pictures. We got lots of updates and they had a good time. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.”


“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”


About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“I cannot say enough GREAT things about Heather! She took better care of my dogs than I do! Every day she sent me photos of them going on hiking adventures, playing in creeks or playing with her kids. They had the best time ever! I’m sure they are bored now that I’m home again. Thank you So Much, Heather! ❤️❤️❤️”


“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ashley provided for Tilly while we were away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for dogs made our trip so much more relaxing, knowing Tilly was in good hands. Ashley went above and beyond, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner looking for top-notch boarding services. Thank you, Ashley, for treating Tilly like part of your family!”


“Nicole did a great job with Ruby. She was attentive to Rubys needs, gave timely updates and was open to me bringing Ruby's baby pool. Nicole was very professional and I highly recommend her to others.”


“Thank you for providing such kindness and attentiveness to my Ellie girl! I can tell she felt very comfortable being with your family, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands. Would definitely board with you again the future!”


“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”


“Tasha was wonderful with our senior Basset Hound. Pearl (our dog) is a drama queen and an attention seeker and that's certainly what she got with Tasha. We couldn't be happier with Natasha's care for our precious Pearl. We will definitely be repeating services with her again. She's awesome.❤?”


About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I’m currently in grad school but I will still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! I am a responsible and compassionate care giver and I treat animals like people.

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

“Esther was excellent! It was very apparent that our dog was in great hands. There were many dog park trips and I could tell from the pictures I received that my dog was having an awesome vacation of her own. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and will treat your dog as their own, look no further! Thanks again, Esther!”

“Lidija did an outstanding job with our little sweet fiesty Pepper. Lidija took time and patience with Pepper during our meet and greet ahead of time. She was so loving and patient with him. Pepper warmed right up to her which doesn’t usually happen that fast. He also got along with her dog too. She kept me updated and responded quickly to my texts. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. I’m so appreciative.”
