“My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 10 years and in that time one of my dogs developed IVDD and became paralyzed overnight. For the past 2 years I have learned how to care for a special needs dog, including bladder/bowel expression, wound care, medication (oral, syringe, and shots). I have found an extreme lack in boarding support for dogs with special needs and I want to use the knowledge and dedicated care for special needs dogs I have to help others and give a safe space for those who need that extra love and care. I currently work part time as a behavior technician for kids with autism (3 hours a day, Monday-Friday) so I am home most of the day. While I’m at work, my husband comes home not long after so the dogs are not alone for very long. My husband has the same abilities for caring for a special needs dog, but I will be the main caregiver. We can board 1 dog at a time all days of the week. As we are only taking special needs dogs, we want to keep it one dog at a time to limit stress and give the most attention to our guest. We do have 2 dogs (11 year old Theo, a chihuahua/papillon mix 10lbs, and 7 year old special needs Mina, a pitbull/boxer/miniature poodle mix 25lbs) that enjoy being around other dogs. We have 2 crates dedicated to our dogs, as well as two travel crates we make comfortable with pillows and blankets. There are floor dog beds in the living room and bedroom and plenty of blankets to dig in and nest. The dogs have free range of the apartment aside from a storage room. The living space is kept clear of items that the dogs can get into to prevent unsafe interactions. While there is no yard, we have lots of paths for walks and a small fenced in dog park only available to tenants. While we have our apartment fitted to our dogs, we are happy to make any adjustments that means creating the most safe and comfortable experience for your fur baby.

“Danielle and her family are absolutely wonderful. I continue to recommend them, so great and attentive. Always provide updates and just so sweet.”

About: I grew up with a sweet lab, Pudge, who was my best friend. When we lost him, it left a hole in my heart. Making sure that other people feel that their furry friends are safe and loved when they can’t be there to do that for them allows me to honor Pudgey’s memory. I have 10+ years of experience with pets of all ages and kinds and am happy to provide references if you’d like! I don’t work a traditional 9-5 so I have more flexibility in my schedule to spend time with your pets. I’m typically available Monday through Sunday Regardless of whether pets are in my home or the owner’s I follow directions provided by the owner in order to keep things with consistent for the animals. In my own home, I try to keep things much the same as if the pet was in it’s own home to avoid too much change making your furry friends uncomfortable/upset

“Tina was great! She was flexible in scheduling and sent updates and pics. We appreciated the communication and flexibility! And she gave our pup lots of love!”

Noelle S.

“Michelle saved us after a last minute cancellation with another sitter. She was ready to take in our boy within an hour and kept him overnight. We will absolutely be using her again!”

Jessica K.

“Tara was great with my pup over the 4th of July weekend. She was so accommodating with my pup’s fear of loud noises and did her best to keep her calm. She sent lots of photos and updates which I appreciated! She was awesome!”

Kiely M.

“Christina is truly the best! When my trip was approaching and my original sitter canceled unexpectedly, she stepped in without hesitation and took care of my dog, Lucas, on very short notice, showing incredible understanding and flexibility. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, making me feel at ease even from afar. Christina treated Lucas like family, allowing him to sleep close to her and ensuring he was well cared for. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals make her absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help!”

About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.

“Raeven was amazing and very communicative she was able to accommodate Slate and I when our sitter canceled less than 3rhrs before his stay so truly I appreciated the effort and care that went in to making sure slate had a good experience.”

“Petey had a good time with Jessica and her little pups. A fenced in yard was a great plus !!!”
