“It's always a pleasure to bring Seven to see Jenny. I don't trust many people with my dog, but Jenny is definitely someone I can trust. Seven likes going over there, and as long as he is pleased, I am happy. I highly suggest her. Thank you, Jenny, for caring for my puppy.”


“Myra is calm, patient and extremely kind. Peanut (a min pin mix) is a rescue dog who takes time to warm to new people. Myra was welcoming and generous with her time during our meet and greet. She has a lovely home. She was so patient with Peanut and her love for animals and willingness to adapt to their personality and needs was obvious. Myra sent pics throughout the day and Peanut had a wonderful time. I have already booked Myra to watch Peanut for a longer stay. Thank you Myra! Peanut can't wait to come back and play!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.

“I LOVED HOW DEANNA T. TREATED HIM LIKE FAMILY AND SENT PICTURES AND ALWAYS KEPT ME UPDATED ON HOW HE WAS DOING. HE LOVED HER AND THE WHOLE FAMILY. HE MADE FRIENDS WITH HER ANIMALS ALSO. I WAS WONDERING IF HE WANTED TO COME HOME OR STAY WITH HER, THAT IS HOW MUCH FUN HE HAD. I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE LEAVING HIM ANYTIME WITH HER. THANK YOU SO MUCH DEANNA AND THANK YOUR FAMILY TOO. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.”



“Nicole was great. She responded quickly to my last minute doggy day care request over a holiday weekend and she took great care of our little Ruby.”


About: We’ve had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats…..many pets we loved and cared for through the years. Although we don’t currently have pets of our own, we have lots of love & care to share. My husband and I are retired and have a flexible schedule to help your pet while you’re away. I can also do chicken and farm animal sitting/checking at your home and am able to care for pet birds in your home or ours. We have a large fenced country yard surrounded by farms and fields with lots of room to run. We can also leash walk your dog if preferred.

“We were in the area to attend an event and left our puppy with Shatera. He had a wonderful time and was well cared for. If we are in need of doggie day care while in the area again, we will definitely call on Shatera again!”


“Kayla is just the best! She is very prompt, informative and caring. She sent pictures of my love potatoe and kept me informed of any concerns and good day updates. For our initial meeting, she was very professional and noted all of the care needs for my dog. Bo is a great dog and socialized extremely well with my dog. I really enjoyed the updates throughout the day and really appreciate Bo and her watching my baby.”


“Teresa accepted my request almost last minute after mine was not doing well at the doggie daycare. She is very experienced, reliable and provided a lot of love and care for Miller. Thank you very much!”


About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give as if each pet were my own. I recently cared for two dogs for a full week, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and companionship. I went beyond basic care to make sure they felt truly safe, seen, and loved while their owners were away. I’m reliable, nurturing, and committed to creating a calm, happy environment pets can count on. As a stay at home mom/military spouse, I have a flexible and stable home environment that’s ideal for providing personalized, attentive pet care. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will never be left alone for long periods and I can maintain their routines with walks, meals, and playtime. Our military lifestyle has taught me to be adaptable, dependable, and prepared for anything, which translates into the care I give each animal. Pet care fits naturally into our calm, family oriented home where your pet will be treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, loving, and dependable environment for your pet. My home has a fully fenced patio with turf grass for supervised outdoor time, plus a large grassy field right behind it for extra play and potty breaks. We’re also just around the corner from a dog park, perfect for social dogs who love to run and explore. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be alone for long and will get plenty of attention, love, and routine. I treat every animal like family to ensure they feel secure, happy, and right at home.

“Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.”


About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a child. I've always had at least one dog. I often care for pets of friends and neighbors when they are away. I sometimes foster and/or transport for a local rescue. I have also had rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles , so the little critters can be cared for too. I am home most days. I babysit 2 days per week and drive the amish sometimes so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog for daily walks, as well as to the park weekly. In my own home, your pet will be treated as family. In your home, I will take the time for your pet to be happy and loved.

About: I grew up on a farm and know how to take care of most animals to the full extent of training and playtime. I worked for a non profit for K 9s in the past and have had many animals throughout my adulthood on my own. I’ve trained puppies and adult dogs alike. I work for myself from home and out of the home as well. My husband is an EMT firefighter so one of us will be home all the time to care and tend for the animals while my husband will be here when he is off with his medical training as well. I walk my own dog frequently, every two hours or so and I play with her all day long. My cat is a sleeper but he joins in on the playtime as well. I’m very clean, and maintain a very clean home and can help train and clean the animals as well. I am able to groom and trim nails and hair as well.

About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

Max always comes home tail-wagging happy, and I can tell he has had a fantastic day full of play and socialization with other dogs. I have entrusted Busara with my pets multiple times during vacations, and each experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The peace of mind I have knowing that my pets are being cared for by such a dedicated individual is priceless. Not to mention, her rates are incredibly affordable compared to others in town.

Thank you for treating Max and Bella like family!”
