“Carolyn is awesome. She knows how to handle dogs and keeps you informed about how your fur baby is doing. Trip came back from his visit tired from all the activities and that’s a good thing. It was a great experience and she’s going to be my go to when I have to leave town.”
“It was Bom's first time being away from him so I was a bit worried. But I could do some pre-meetings before the boarding which was great!! Bom came home happy and healthy :):) Recommend to anyone who's worried for their furry friends and I am so glad that I have found her! Thanks x”
“Blake was such a great sitter for our dog! She was so kind, caring, and willing to accommodate his needs. She kept us up to date with sweet videos, pictures, and messages. We highly recommend her for your pet boarding needs!”
“Phyllis is Great with our Max!! She is beyond patient with our small dog who is HIGHLY energized! She did everything possible to keep him safe, calm, and happy during a rainy and LOUD holiday weekend for the July 4th! Which is no small thing concerning he is extremely scared of fireworks and bad weather! I highly recommend her to care for your fury family members! She treats them just like they are her own! Can’t thank her enough!”
“Katie and her family are so sweet and amazing. She has kept our 4 month old German Shephard puppy, Bennett, for 2 weekends so far. I was so nervous to leave him the first time! Katie knew that and sent me so many pictures of him and messaged me multiple times throughout the weekend to let me know he was having a great time ! They have a huge backyard with plenty of room for our puppy to run and play. When I came to pick him up, I could see through the window and our puppy was watching tv on the couch with Katie’s husband and kids. Cutest thing ever ! They are great! Bennett can’t wait to go back to Ms. Katie’s again really soon!”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve raised puppies from the ground up and currently care for two energetic, lovable dogs of my own — a Lab Collie mix and a German Shorthair Pointer. I understand the importance of exercise, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s puppy playtime, long walks, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m confident with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care every time. I work part-time during the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. On weekends and evenings, I’m usually outdoors or spending quality time with my dogs, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits in perfectly. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy and build into my lifestyle. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I provide a calm, dog-friendly environment where pups can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My dogs are well-socialized, and I make slow, supervised introductions to ensure everyone gets along. I keep my space clean and secure, with plenty of room for play and quiet areas for rest. I stick to the routines pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a quick visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and cared for like one of my own.
“I cannot recommend Brenna highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—my dogs took to them right away, which says a lot! Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and even a video, which made being away from my pups so much easier. It was clear they treated my dogs like part of the family—with walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to watch your dog, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking with Brenna again!”
“Chris and his family were wonderful! We booked last minute and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Super communicative and loved on our pups like they were his own. We Will be booking with Chris whenever we need a sitter.”
About: I've worked in the Dog training and handling industry for the last 5 years. So I know how to handle all different types of quirks and personalities. I live On-Post with a fenced back yard. I can accommodate a dog crate with a variety of different toys! I've taken care of a large variety of breeds big and small. Anything between a sweet couch dog and dogs who love to run and play I can handle it! I work full time but take time out of my day to ensure dogs are let out for breaks throughout the day. I can take dogs for walks either before or after work and on the weekends. On days with fair weather the back door can be left open with a screen to allow dogs access outside throughout the day as well. I have a crate at the house if it is needed. My back yard is fenced with a locked gate. I have two female dogs at the house that are extremely friendly, but can separate if need be to accommodate your pet.
About: Hey everyone! I would love to take care of your pet care needs! Ive owned my dogs all of their life and they are quite spoiled! My oldest is 14 and youngest is 2 years. All get along with others. I have one kitty also! I have also worked at the local shelter and can administer meds and care for disabled pets. Please know that your babies will be treated as my own. Any special care that your pet may need is perfectly fine as I'm used to special needs babies as well. I am always home with my own fur babies so I pretty much have open availability! There are rare occasions when I’m not available and that’s usually disclosed. Each pet is looked after as an individual with their needs met. I believe that the care that I provide should mean the most to your pets while you are away. I strive to make everything as stress free as possible for your sweet baby(ies). They will be thoroughly looked after while in my care!

We recommend Diamond to anyone who is looking for an attentive and experienced caretaker for their pets!”

Aaliyah L.
“Aaliyah has always had the most genuine love and compassion for animals. From a young age, it was clear that caring for pets wasn’t just a hobby for her it was part of who she is. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even the occasional stray she finds, Aaliyah treats every animal with kindness, patience, and respect. Her ability to connect with pets is truly special. She understands their needs, picks up on their moods, and provides them with the comfort and care they deserve. What sets her apart is how deeply she values the bond between humans and animals. She’s not just a pet lover she’s a true guardian and advocate for their well-being. Any animal that crosses paths with Aaliyah is lucky, and anyone who entrusts her with their pet can rest assured they’re in the best hands possible.”
