“Jimena was absolutely incredible with my 3 month old kitten! This was my first time boarding her so I was a bit nervous but Jimena sent me photos and videos ame always responded very quickly. You can tell she really cares for her animals and I will definitely be rebooking if I go out of town in the future!”
“We first met Kara last year, and we've returned to her multiple times since. Our dog, Ernie, was just 3 months old the first time he stayed at Kara’s, and he had a blast. Now, every time we go back, Ernie excitedly runs straight to the other dog! It’s clear that Kara’s place is the perfect spot for our dog when we’re away.”
“Laura was wonderful with our mini Bernedoodle! We felt so comfortable knowing that he was in a safe and happy environment. She sent us texts and photos throughout his stay so that we could keep up with how he was doing. We will definitely call on Laura the next time we are in the area! 5 stars!!”
“Excellent care. Fran went above and beyond caring for our dog. He had tummie issues while we were gone and Fran even cooked special food for him and fixed the problem. Her communication was very informative the entire time. Fran even went to our vet for ear drops. Wow! We could not have found a better sitter than her. A real GEM!!!!”
About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!
“Lori was an absolute pleasure. She sent plenty of photos and videos of our baby, and was very communicative. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely request dog sitting again in the future.”
“Haley was great with my dog. She provided updates along the way and was super flexible when I needed to delay picking my dog up. Very professional and sweet. I would definitely book her again!”
“Grady had a great weekend with Hunter and her family. She sent updates and pictures regularly which definitely put us at ease knowing Grady was being well cared for. We highly recommend Hunter and I know Grady would agree!”
“Faith is reliable, kind and caring. This was the first time we had her sit for Jellybean in HER home rather than ours, and it went great. THANK YOU for such a wonderful experience, Faith.”
“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”
“Excellent experience. Amanda and her family were very accommodating, communicated with us every day on how our Shelby girl was doing. They went above and beyond for this overly protective dog Mom! Highly recommend.”
“We were very pleased with Bella's stay with Craig and Julie. Bella loved the home immediately and enjoyed running up and down their stairs. We were gone for 9 days and Craig sent us pictures and updates on how Bella was getting on. We greatly appreciated the extra attention he gave to her and gave to us. We felt secure and peace knowing she was well cared for. We plan to be in the area again next year and plan to have3 Bella stay her again. We highly recommend this family.”
About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.
About: We have been boarding dogs in our home for almost 2 years. We fostered dogs before that, and we have owned dogs our entire lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works full time from home, so your furry best friend will be in good company while you're gone. We strive to make your dogs stay as smooth as possible with a consistent routine and ample play time. We have 2 dogs that have their own space, but like playing with others if that's something your dog would be interested in. Dogs in our care have free range of the main living area in our home. They are allowed on the couch. We crate the dog(s) when no one is home and at night for bed time. We try to keep feeding schedules the same as yours and we have a fenced in lot. Dogs are let out very frequently and given lots of play time. Our house is clean and safe. The crates are sanitized between dogs. All dogs in our care must be good with children, crate trained, and good with other dogs.

I would recommended her to anyone!”
“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”

Chesnut S.
“Chesnut is a very reliable, conscientious young lady who loves animals but has not been in a position to have one of her own. She would be attentive to your pet's needs and go above and beyond what you ask of her in caring for your pet. She is someone you can depend on to do what you need her to do and to love on your pet in your absence. She has cared for her brother's dog on several occasions and has had cats of her own when she lived at home. She will notice if something is different about your pet, especially if she has had time to get to know the animal, and will let you know if she thinks something is not "right". I'd trust Chesnut with a pet.”
Raven & Levi J.
“Raven has shown all the things one would feel comfortable with providing pet care while away. Not only does she provide care for our dogs, cats and chickens. She took notes of their quirks and their routines to make sure they stayed on schedule. She provided them with their medicines, kept the litter boxes cleaned and the chickens contained. Our animals and pets have never seemed in distress when we got back. Sometimes I think they are sad when we are back because they might not receive the spoiled attention they got from her. She's a trustworthy individual whom we feel comfortable with. She has provided animal pet care services for us several times now.”
