“Michael stayed with Lucky and her husband for a week. I was nervous, because the last time I boarded Michael was at the vets and he didn’t do so well. However, Lucky and her husband are huge animal lovers and it shows. Lucky kept in contact with me, sending me photos and videos of Michael making friends and having a blast. I have never been more confident that the right decision was made. I honestly think Michael was on vacation more than I was! I will definitely be using Lucky and her husband again. We are so fortunate to have them. Thank you both for everything and for taking care of my fur baby!!”

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.
“She was very informative about the status of my pups and made sure they were good in hands prior to leaving them. Was also very happy that she took my XL Bully, as many are afraid but she loved him like the big baby he is. They also fell in love with my toy poodle! Overall impressed and will book again.”
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”
