“I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. Marilyn was great! My dogs can be nervous around new people, but they really enjoyed their stay! We received updates and pictures of happy dogs. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable to know that our dogs were so well taken care of. Well worth the drive. Will definitely book again.”
About: I treat every pet like family, offering personalized care tailored to their age, needs, and personality. From playful puppies needing basic training and structure to senior pets requiring gentle routines and extra comfort, I’ve got the experience and heart to handle it all. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can truly relax while you’re away. Whether it’s medication schedules, quirky habits, or cuddle preferences—I pay attention to the details that make your pet feel at home. I’m currently a full-time student, but I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 2 PM. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime, care, and companionship while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced yard and one friendly dog who loves making new friends—your pup will have great company during their stay! I’m also happy to crate your dog if needed to match their routine or comfort level.

About: Hi all, i have a lot of experience being around dogs as I have had one in my life beginning at 15 years old. I have a lot of experience with what comes with owning a dog, although i have never done any nail clippings but have done many baths, park visits, long walks, playing with them, brushing, distributing medication, basically everything you need to do when you have a dog. My most current dog passed away last december and i’m not looking to get another dog just yes so I figured I could help people with their dogs being that I love to meet new fur babies. I do request that we do a meet and greet with your pet before any overnight stay to see if we are a good fit. please message me with any other questions! my schedule is very flexible, I would be able to do walks in the morning, some afternoons and most nights. but if you have a need for a certain time we can always discuss that My yard is fenced, food is always put up or not left out at all. I have small nephews so everything toxic is already put up so they can not get into it. any questions I am happy to answer.

About: Hi! My name is Maizy and I love all animals. I grew up in a small town in Utah surrounded with my personal dogs as well as my friends and families farms which are full of pets! I’ve always had dogs but at the age of 13 my life changed when I was gifted my first personal dog. This meant I had to put in the work to care for this dog. It was the best day ever. Since then I have trained my dog using many commands and he has thrived to be a smart obedient dog! The opportunity to take care of others pets and leave a positive impression on the animal gives me the utter most excitement and happiness. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets so I hope you take me into consideration. I am currently attending the University Saint Mary on a volleyball scholarship. I have a pretty busy schedule put have gaps in my morning and a wide open evening to give the animals all the attention they need. In my current home we have a zero pet policy, so all drop ins would need to be at the owners home. I’ve always used love to care for my own pets and will continue to do this with your pets.
