“Shannon was absolutely incredible!! My senior toy poodle loved staying with her and even made some new friends. She was great and sent updates with pictures every few days so I got to see how he was doing. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Kelly and her family are capable, communicative, and accommodating. My wife and I felt very comfortable leaving our energetic 2 year old puppy with them. It is not a stretch to say that I think Lio (our dog) was disappointed to return home after such a wonderful stay!”
“Remi came home super happy and worn out! Christina kept me updated and sent pics as well to let me know how she was doing. Will definitely be taking Remi to Christina anytime I need a sitter!”
“So far my babies have stayed with Ebony twice. They get excited every time they see her house and go rushing inside. When my youngest pup had a cyst pop on her neck Ebony took her to the vet and took great care of her. She is worth every penny!!”
“Tammy went out of her way assisting me to get my dog to her home. It was my first time boarding this dog, so I really appreciated her prompt response whenever I asked how he was doing at his home away from home.”
“Angela took amazing care of Kale while we were away. She took the cutest photos of him and sent great updates. I would definitely recommend a friend to utilize her services. She provided so much love to our pup and we are so grateful.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Keri was so wonderful to welcome Mica into her home. Keri is flexible, accommodating and very responsive. The video, picture and updates I received showed Mica comfortable and happy. Thank you, Keri! If we’re back in the area, would love to have Mica stay with you again.”
“Henna and and her fiancee Sierra were awesome with our dogs! They let us know when they were getting their medicine and sent pictures of them cuddling with their kids. Highly recommend them and will use them again!!”
“Tami was absolutely fantastic! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her all weekend. She updated us with photos and loved our dogs like they were her own! We will definitely be going back to her!”
“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving Lou with a babysitter and I was nervous. Sarah made me and my girl both feel very comfortable at drop off. I received pictures while I was out of town so that I could see how well she was doing. Sarah was very attentive to Lou’s needs as an elderly dog with anxiety. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my baby.”
“Danielle was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her. Her accommodations for him were so nice and made him feel safe, clean, and comfortable. She truly truly loves animals and was a joy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and videos as well. My dog had a blast on his own little doggy vacay. Would definitely recommend her and use her again. She went above and beyond.”
About: Small dogs? Large dogs? Cats? I love them all. I have worked in the animal industry for years and I love it. I love both cats and dogs, could never pick between the two of them. I have had my own dog, along with my own cats. In the past I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, snakes and other reptiles so really nothing is off limits. I currently work from home, so fitting you into the daily routine and schedule is going to be a breeze! Dog needs more time? Consider in home! I take one to two dogs in home at a time as to not stress the dog(s) out! I can easily crate if needed, but I prefer the free roaming way! Im home all day for work and such, so being free and comfortable is my goal!
“Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.”

Emily M.
“Emily has been entrusted with the periodic care of our dog and three cats for more years than I can recount. We met her when she was in Animal Tech at the local High School and have enjoyed her thoughtful, caring manner every time we needed a sitter for our animals. Regardless of whether they were young and getting into everything or as they are now getting on in years and in need of much more hands on care. Emily has our complete trust and often advises us as she notices behaviors that we may have missed and always has the pets health and wellness as her top concern. I have no problem recommending her to care for whatever pet has become a member of your family.”
