These two not only truly love dogs, they treat all of their guests like their own Murphy had such a good time the first time there that he whined and barked happily as we drove close the second time. He loves the other dogs, and we plan on boarding with them again in the future. Such a sweet couple.

First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!

So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!

Kira is very friendly, responsive, accommodating, and professional! She sent pics daily and I loved it because we had a pretty long vacation. My precious boys looked like they were always having a good time. In fact, on some of the pics they appeared to be smiling lol. We will most definitely be using Kira again! I highly recommend!

During the introduction, her dogs were a little aggressive and snipped a few times, but we both thought that we'd give it a try and agreed that they did not get along she could drop him off at my house and could routinely drop by and care for him there. Kristen and her family were great. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristen did such a good job those concerns went away pretty quick. They introduced their dogs with mine at a park beforehand and then routinely followed up with me with how he was doing while I was traveling. Definitely recommend.

This was our first time using Autumn and Paul and they were amazing! Our dog has never been happier with anyone including family. They provided daily updates and pictures which was awesome to see. When we dropped her for her second stay she was clawing to get in their house and ready to play.

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.

I found Hope last minute for a 2 week trip. She immediately sent me a message asking about my pups and letting me know that she keeps their schedules as much the same as possible. This edged out the other offer I received (the other person just accepted my request but never sent a follow up message). The dogs were at ease with her immediately. She sent me pictures of the dogs every day with updates. I was concerned if my pups would want to come home with me! They had a great time and Hope was aweosme! I will definitely use Hope again!

Will and Donna took care our dog family (all three) with such love and care. They kept us updated on how things were going and my fur babies had a vacation themselves. They are just the best. So happy they live close and we hope they will be available when we plan another journey. Two people to care for your babies in a beautiful immaculate atmosphere. They need more than five stars.
