Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”

We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”

We will absolutely use Harold again if the occasion arises! He was wonderful!”

I had another sitter set up who was not responding when I texted her on drop off day, so I had no choice but to find another sitter, and boom, found Paul!

They sent pictures every day and replied right away to my messages! Paul, thank you so much, you are my go to man in Birmingham!”

“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”

“We LOVE leaving our dog in Westyn and his wife’s care!! He is always very happy when we leave him and pick him back up. He is now best friends with their dog, Odin!

About: I have a lifelong connection to caring for living beings—I've been doing it since I was a little girl. Our pets are truly our family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I adjust to their unique needs. I offer a safe, loving home for boarding and daycare, with lots of affection, structure, and fun. My home is drug and smoke-free. My goal is to make you and your dog(s) feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away—because they deserve ALL good things! I work from home caring for a loved one while they're healing. Caring for dogs brings a loving healing energy into our home. As you know they nurture us as much as we nurture them, if not more! In my loving pet-friendly community, your dog will enjoy wide open spaces for safe walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I create a calm environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I'm experienced in administering medications—oral, intravenous, or topical—and can accommodate special diets with care. Crate-trained pups? I can easily crate your dog upon request. For everyone’s safety, all dogs are walked on-leash, so please bring your pooch with a secure collar or harness. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority.
