“Our pup had a great stay with Tammy! She had 2 other pups with her when we booked and they were the same age as ours. They ran their hearts out and played all weekend, which is exactly what we hoped for! She was prompt whenever I texted her with questions and sent pictures/videos. Would book again!”


“Christina is great! We did a meet and greet with our dogs beforehand. She watched our energetic boxer puppy for a weekend and managed to wear her out! She sent lots of great pictures and it was clear Maisey was living her best life at Christina’s house, so much so she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. I would definitely use Christina again.”


“Otis has many special needs, and she cared for him like he was part of the family. Barbora went above and beyond, was very accommodating, and sent updates and pictures to keep me informed. It was such a relief knowing Otis was loved and so well cared for.”


“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!”


“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!!”


“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”


“Sarah was amazing with my dog! She absolutely loved her while she stayed there. My dog was very happy when I picked her up she didnt seem sad or depressed. Sarah sent me lots of pictures and updated me everyday!! I 100% would recommend her to anyone I know and she has reasonable prices for the area!”

“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.”


“Tara was great! We needed a last minute dog sitter for our 2 yorkies. We were nervous because we have never used rover before. Tara responded quickly and was even able to groom them. That saved us so much time! They had a great time! We will be using Tara again!”


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 ❤️.”


“Taylor and her Husband Duncan were great. Dogs had a great tim and they kept us up to date with pics and messages. I would definitely recommend having them sit your pups. They make a great team and do a good job! Will for sure use again!”

Emily M.
“Emily is a very kind and carrying person first and for most. She was the person I always went to when there was somthing wrong with my dog and cats since she worked in vet clinics most of her life. With this experience she knew what to keep them out of, inject them, clip their nails, know if there is anything wrong with them or if I was just overthinking it. Emily was always my house sitter/drop in person when I went on vacation or on long business trips. If my dog was feeling ill or somthing was wrong she would immediately call me and let me know what was going on, or if I didnt answer leave me a message or a text. My dogs and cats have always loved her and I am sure that your pets will too.”
