“Ciara and her team were great with my Two dogs, one of which I asked her last minute to care for (a day prior) and she was able to accommodate and take care of both my dogs. She was on time with pick up and drop off and just super courteous and nice. My dogs looked happy. Very content with their stay with Ciara. Thanks!”
“We couldn’t ask for better care for our pup while we are gone. We can relax and rest easy knowing that Chris is taking awesome care of her and that she is in good hands.”
“It was my first time leaving my angels with someone for a couple days while I was out of town. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect set of people to leave them with. My goal was to find someone who could give my pups the patience and love I would give them. I'm more than glad to say that Dragana and Logan were more than I could've ever hoped for. They gave my angels plenty of love, went on a bunch of outdoor excursions in a fenced area, let them roam the place and find their temporary safety spots. Their dog Lakota is a sweetheart and a dream dog. She got along with my picky pups and even played with my boy a bit. Outside of that, Dragana sent me plenty of pictures, videos, and updates of them making me feel reassured. Not only will I book again with Dragana, but I've recommended her to every neighbor I know and will look for excuses to take time for myself and utilize her services as often as possible. 11/10 experience.”
“Best sitter I could have asked for. Alyssa was able and willing to help with all things puppy related. Appa loved being around her and her family. She sent photos and was able to update us on how Appa was doing while we were on our trip. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving Appa in her care and will definitely look forward to Appa's next visit with her.”
“Rachel is an incredible caregiver. Her intigrity far exceeds all others. Not only that, but her whole family provides an excellent place for my Abby. She is a gift to my pet who is getting incredible care and the best in quality. I love my Abby, and Rachel's family, too.”
“Jack loves Laura and her house. She is friendly and warm and Jack runs into her house to see his friends. I have appreciated using Laura’s services because she is kind and caring to my dog.. I continue to use her above others bc I always feel Jack is safe, loved and cared for!”
“Alex and Jacquelynne were excellent hosts to our sweet Sadie. They made her feel like part of the family and Sadie really felt comfortable with them. I couldn’t recommend them more!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

“Rae Lynne treated my pups like her own. She continually sent me pictures and videos of them playing and cuddling and Rae Lynne's sweet kids loved on them continuously. Her house is like a dog paradise with a fenced in yard; kids to play with and a loving caretaker! Will be using her in the future!”
“Murphy seemed to have a blast at Jessica’s. He was probably happy to have playmates he was finally bigger than...Jessica sent videos and pictures (very good pictures, as Murphy doesn’t tend to like having his picture taken) throughout the trip. No complaints...she was flexible with pick up times and very accommodating. Highly recommended*****”
