“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“Azure accepted my booking at the last minute. I am so happy I found her as she is located really close to me and she was phenomenal with Bella. She was so kind and caring. She also gave me updates as to how Bella was doing - that was special for me. I love that Bella was at a home rather than a kennel. I will defineitely be using her again. Thank you Azure!”

“Kristen took great care of our Gator for the weekend! Her communication was awesome, she updated us on how he was doing and sent tons of pictures. He got to play with other dogs and even a cat, as her Peanut is very dog friendly. Gator has always been very interested in cats, but never got to meet one up close until he stayed with Kristen!”
“Another great stay with Anne… my little guy loves when we arrive and isn’t sure he wants to leave when I pick him up!😆 Thanks Anne, for loving and caring so well for our little Anakin!”

“We’re so grateful for the incredible care Emily and her family gave Onyx while we were away! This was our first time ever leaving him with someone else, and we were a little nervous, but her daily updates and photos truly made all the difference. He looked so relaxed and happy in every single one! Truly he was having a blast hanging with Emily’s pups, it was so comforting to know he was in good hands and company. Emily, thank you for treating him like one of your own, we came home to a very content pup! We’d absolutely love to book with you again next time we travel and for play dates! 🐾💛”
“Agnatha is so wonderful. This was our first time leaving our dog alone over night, and I think we were way more nervous about it than he was. Agnatha kept us updated with messages and photos and seems like the stay could not have gone better. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”

“Wai and Cody took great care of Rosie. As soon as we got home she fell right asleep on the couch. I could tell she had been walked and given plenty of attention. Will absolutely trust Wai with Rosie’s care again.”
“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Alex and Jayce were wonderful with our dog. So welcoming and very responsive. Our dog had a great time playing with their dogs. They sent great pictures and we could tell our dog was comfortable at their house. Would recommend to friends and family and will use them again!”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs/cats. I have been a dog groomer for close to three years but have recently decided to become a stay at home mom. I can’t imagine my life without dogs!

I can also offer Dog grooming or nail trim services upon request. I am currently a stay at home mom! I am home 24/7 and can let your pup outside as often as they need. I have a fenced in yard so they can roam around off leash, sniff around, and enjoy themselves. I currently have one dog named Bryce. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. He is very friendly and LOVES to play. He loves cats and dog alike. We go on daily walks and play fetch everyday. I love all dogs from teacup puppies to great danes.

I have a fenced in yard, but I always go outside with the doggies while I let them outside. My Fur baby Bryce is lovely companion and will keep your baby company. We do allow pups on our couch and bed so they can get the best snuggles and comfort while you are away.
