Thank you Myrlonette for making such an anxious experience so smooth and reassuring. Your attentiveness and energy is going to be hard for us to keep up with at home! We look forward to your services again as we believe we found a home away from home for our fur baby!

We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!

Kimberly was great with Trujo. I was nervous he wouldn't do well and I was pleasantly surprised. He had an amazing time. I will definitely use Kimberly to care for our Trujo again. I recommend her!

Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.

Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable handling a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where dogs feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior and individual needs, making sure each dog is comfortable, well cared for, and sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. What sets me apart is that I’m highly observant and reliable—I treat every dog as an individual and make sure they feel secure and cared for in my home. Hanging out with pets is honestly my favorite part of my the day! I make time for walks, play sessions,and chill time every day-it never feels like work if tails are wagging. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog amd cat. I can accommodate to your needs. I also have a dog park near by. ..

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from puppies to adults. From tiny to large dogs as well. I have experience with senior dogs and their care. I do also have experience with high energy dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with incontinence. I’m currently working full time, but my job is remote so I will be home all day to keep an eye on any pets boarding with me. I am also free all weekends as well. My job is very flexible and I can walk a dog every 1-2 hours if need be. I have 2 cats. They are both friendly! If your dog/cat is friendly as well that would be perfect! If not, I could separate into different rooms. You are welcome to have a meet and greet to see if our pets get along! I am always available to comfort high anxiety pets as I will be home most of the time due to my remote job.

We had a meet with Danielle before we left our mini poodle a few days later with her. When we went back the second time, as we approached her house, he got super excited and couldn’t wait to go in. Danielle was really kind and gentle with him. When he was anxious as we left, she held him until he calmed down. He enjoyed playing with her very active puppy and was pretty tuckered when we got back. We’re looking forward to leaving him with her again.

About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.

Min was wonderful with my large dog, Tamale. She reads the dog's body language very well. She sent lots of pics and seemed to really enjoy Tamale's company. I will definitely ask her to dog sit as my regular "go to" person. Thanx Min!

Niratcha took excellent care of our Corgi and Cockapoo for the day. The girls had so much fun with her and were exhausted when we picked them up. Her home and yard are perfect for dogs. We would absolutely book with Niratcha again.

Marilyn was so patient with our little Chalie. And we appreciated her being able to care for him last min. I got ole Ty of updates and pic. Our puppy loves other dogs but needs to warm up to people and Marylin took her time with Chalie and made him comfortable. This was important for us today since I just had surgery and we totally didn’t think of how my hyper little dog baby will be begging for my attention all day and I had to recover. This worked out so well and I’m so grateful that all went well in Marylin’s care. Thank you so much.
