Maggie was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior Doberman. Our dog enjoyed her walks and personal care in a nice quiet environment. We have already booked our next vacation and our dog will be enjoying her own “vacation “ with Maggie, again!

I received photos and videos every day! Both Havoc and Jelly Beans were spoiled!!! Erin was the BIGGEST lifesaver as my original dog sitter backed out a week prior to an Air Force TDY. I cannot thank her enough! ?

We are so happy to have found Lena! She gave us peace of mind, especially being out of country for so long. It was nice to have someone with him all day and friends to play with! She sent cute updates and pictures as well. Lena is our new go-to sitter!

Ashley is so wonderful with Charlee. I love that I can travel without worrying about her care. She’s at total ease going in and always pooped when coming home from all her play time.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I've learned to care for and love them as family. I'd be so happy to look after your fur babies! My part-time job has a very flexible schedule, so I can dedicate lots of time to your pup while you're away. I have a small, 3-year-old dog who is shy at first but very friendly, and he'd love a playmate. Plus, my dog is allowed on all the furniture, and your pup would be welcome to join in on the comfort! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a small, friendly dog who's a bit shy at first but warms up quickly to keep your dog company. I only crate my dog for short times when I'm out of the house.

Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further!

Once again Monika took amazing care of Oreo for us. Oreo is a senior dog with some major health challenges, but Monika was patient and went out of her way to ensure Oreo was comfortable. We appreciate Monika, and would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs boarding, even special needs dogs!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.

This was Brownie’s first stay with a sitter. Brownie’s dad passed away on 3-2-24 and I was afraid she might not adapt. Brownie throughly enjoyed her vacation with Shawna and Chris. They loved her as much as I do. They were amazing and I feel so very blessed to have found them and booked for another trip. Thank you so much for you care and love for Brownie! 💕💕

Lynn was amazing with my dogs. I have 3 big dogs which can be a bit overwhelming for some, but she never once faltered at taking them into her home and treating them as her own. I received pics daily, they were snuggled daily by her entire family, she bought food toppers so they would eat while I was away and even gave them a toy to bring home. My dogs felt at home and did not come home stressed as they typically do from regular boarding. I will trust her to keep my babies anytime! She went above and beyond, loves animals, and it shows. 10/10 recommend her to baby your babies!!

I couldn’t be happier to find Lori. She is so compassionate and treated my baby like her very own. This was the first time I had left my 2.5 year old Bichon and she was just one of the family for four days! She loved having a playmate, Chewie is a sweetheart and gets along so well with others. She kept me updated and sent pictures several times a day which put this mama at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough. You will be so happy with Lori, she’s awesome!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!

Our little Morkie, Molly, has stayed with Esmeralda multiple times. Each time, Molly has had a full play day with Esmeralda's little furbabies. Molly is content, happy and safe when she visits Esmeralda. We always receive photos and updates throughout the day. We will continue our visits to Esmeralda whenever we are in town and visiting the Blue Rideg area and need a sitter.
