About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over four years, including senior dogs and energetic puppies. I’m trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and provide lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and reading dog body language to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently don’t work, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding all day every day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays with ease. I have a secure one acre fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Your pup will be safe, socialized, and cared for in a loving home environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and always follow the owner’s instructions for safety and comfort.

About: With 32 years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I’ve turned a lifelong love for dogs into a warm, trustworthy daycare where every pup is treated like family. Here, tails wag with joy, and your dog’s comfort and care always come first! I have plenty of free time Monday through Friday to give your dog all the love, playtime, and attention they deserve! And if you need weekend boarding, I’m here with open arms (and treats!) to make your dog feel right at home while you’re away. Welcome to a dog’s dream stay! With a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe play and your pup will feel right at home. My pet care space is designed with love, comfort, and safety in mind giving your dog the freedom to run, explore, and relax in a secure, and happy environment. It’s not just pet care it’s a place your dog will love!

About: I’ve raised pups my whole life from puppies to seniors and I treat them just like my kiddos - they’re all “spoiled sweet”! And like my kiddos, making sure their needs are met is my #1 priority! As a retired educator, my fur babies are now my full time “students” :) I will always be home while boarding your pup and spoiling them too! We have a huge fenced yard with plenty of space to run and comfy areas to rest, and 2 sweet pups to play with and snuggle yours while they’re here :)

“Venus loved spending time with Reyna! She had excellent communication & was very sweet with great energy! My fur baby slept good lastnight after a fun filled day with Reyna and her family. Thank you again!!”


“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”


About: We had a dog, Moto, who we miss very much. I miss walking him in the neighborhood and would love to have a reason to walk again. Experience with strong pullers, reactive dogs and dogs who like to walk fast. Goal is to get some more daily walks in during my work day and take some dogs along. I work from home so can provide a comfortable environment if they are hanging with me, along with play in the backyard. My family and I also love watching dogs for a few hours during the day or in the evening. *No overnight stays at this time please. No other animals in the home but we have a fenced in yard. Dog must be safe around respectful though small children in the home if they are staying after school hours or overnight.

“I’ve left my pup with Shanna and Charlie 3 times and they take great care of her... getting my pup to come home is the only issue I have ... she loves staying with them... they are on top of messaging immediately and answers every question I had and made me feel that my pup is in safe and competent hands... I highly recommend this place for taking care of your pet.”



“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”


“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”


“Lilly had the best time at Angela & Paul’s with her new friend Winston. They had a ball playing in the backyard. Angela set me a video on how Lilly was doing which I so appreciate. They took great care of my baby girl & I will definitely take her back to them again, thank you Angela & Paul 😊”


About: I have always loved being around dogs since I was a very little girl. The bond between human and dog is like no other. I will treat every pup that walks through the door as if they were my own!! I am a mom to 2 amazing boys, one who is an adult and one who is 15 years old. I only work part time so I am home a lot which gives me plenty of time to love on your fur baby!! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and comfortable. I can also crate train if needed. I live in a very nice quiet neighborhood to take your pup on a nice walk. One of my dogs is on medication and has a special diet so should your pup have special needs I am more than capable to follow any directions/requests. Just let me know!! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”


“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Amy, Sean, and their kids are. I’m pretty sure my dog loves them more than he loves me. I trust them the most to watch my dog when I go out of town…more than I trust many of my friends. They are very communicative and give you a lot of updates and photos of your pups while they are there. I love this family.”


“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”


“Greg took wonderful care of our elderly dog, Maggie. This was Maggie's first time with a sitter and as a senior dog who requires special care, Greg made her comfortable and happy...sending us snapshots of their day :) Would highly recommend.”
