“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”

“Buster thoroughly enjoys staying with Kelly and her family. He seems much more tired out when he gets back so that tells me her and the kids are keeping him busy. No more kennel stays for Bust. He’s staying at Kelly’s from now on!!”
“Shannon was GREAT with my large lab mix! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, provided updates and administered his medication as requested. I really appreciated her following through over a holiday when things are so busy!”
“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.”

“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”

“Our pit was so happy and calm after a week with Nicole; it felt less like boarding and more like leaving family with family. We are very glad to have found such a safe and comfy home away from home.”
“Long review, but so many amazing things to say about Melissa! ⭐️ I’ve left my two corgis, Benjii and Rocco, with Melissa twice—once in March (~ 2 days) and again in April (~ 9 days) —and we absolutely love her! Benjii and Rocco couldn’t be more different: Rocco lives his best life, always happy and social, while Benjii is more reserved and prefers human company over other dogs. Melissa immediately understood their individual personalities and respected and cared for them accordingly & fully. She never pressured Benjii to interact, and she never held Rocco back from enjoying himself. She sent daily (or every other day) photos and videos, along with updates on their behavior and how things were going. I can’t begin to explain how it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and to find that kind of attentiveness is SO SO RARE. Unlike the boarding center I used to take them too, which locked them up from 7pm until 7am—she kept them company even late at night. She’d sent me photos of Benjii just chillaxing beside her while Rocco played or was crashed out of tiredness lol. While I was away for those 9 days, it rained a lot, yet she still made sure they had playtime, and gave them both a bath before returning them & they came back smelling amazing!!! Melissa’s thoughtfulness, updates, and genuine care gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a shame I found her right before moving, if not, she would’ve been my go-to ALWAYS. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets dogs or you’re on the fence, please listen and trust me and book with Melissa! I promise you, your fur babies will be in the best hands!! 🫶🏼🥺”

“Leah was amazing it was our first time boarding and she mage things as simple and stress free as possible she also helped introduce my puppy to bigger dogs will definitely be rebooking”

“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”

“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”

“We left our 3 dogs for 6 nights with Sarah for the first time recently for a cruise. Sarah was great as 2 of our dogs are on medication and one dog also has epilepsy. She put our mind at ease as she was able to care for their special needs and she sent us photos and updates. Our dogs must have had a good time and well cared for as my Shih Tzu kept trying to run back in our house when we were trying to leave! :) Would use Sarah again. 100%.”

“Tim and his wife are the best! I don’t trust just anyone with my pup, but when Chester stays with Tim, I don’t have a single worry! I have used Tim time and time again and couldn’t recommend him enough.”

“Tammy and her husband welcomed Margo into their home and she must have had a great time! Tammy was patient and tolerated us checking in multiple times while we were away. ☺️ Margo has transitioned back home with no issues as well!”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“Thank you Ebony for taking such good care of our baby girl an for all the pictures an updates. Anyone looking to leave their dogs with someone who takes good care of them an keep you updated the whole time give Ebony a call she is great.”

“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!”

“Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.”

“Matt is a great dogsitter who communicates daily with photos of your pet and how they are doing. Our lab (Noelle) enjoyed being there with him and his kids. 10/10 recommended and we will be using him again.”

Cooper and I met with Cynthia, so they could get to know each other. Our schedule was a bit fluid and Cynthia worked with us. Cooper was well cared for, provided treats and plenty of love. The family dog, Luna was a great buddy for Coop. We got numerous photo updates, which we were happy to see. Will be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter!
