“Kiersa took wonderful care of Murphy. She checked in with me enough and communicated thoroughly when Murphy stole a steak. He was fine of course”
“John and Kate are an outstanding couple that welcomed our dog as one of their own. We received multiple updates and pictures every day to ease our anxiety and make our vacation more enjoyable. Five stars!!”
“Catherine was great! This was Orca’s first time boarding with someone he was unfamiliar with. She did a great job making Orca feel comfortable. He had some separation anxiety and she navigated it very well. Her updates and photos made my vacation that much more relaxing, as I knew he was in good hands.”
“Kyle was amazing. He took Rambo for boarding at short notice and kept us updated with pictures. Our dog had a great time and hesitated for a second to leave when I went to pick him up ;) I highly recommend Kyle and would definitely use his services again!”
“Natalie was so great! Very communicative and our Diego had a ton of fun playing with all the other dogs and her little girl. We had a last minute request for boarding and she was super helpful. We will definitely use her again!”
“Ashley was great! She kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing and sent tons of pictures. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“Jess was absolutely amazing - she was quick to accept our request and was great with communication during Dexter’s stay at her house. Dexter loved the attention he got and loved playing with her dog! I highly recommend Jess!”
“Hallie and Toby knew they were back for a fantastic time with Kristen as soon as we pulled into the drive way. With the long walks, space to roam and comfortable home it’s like they are on a vacation. Kristen helped with a last minute adjustment for some medication for Toby and was so accommodating to us. Cannot be more happier with my experience and we’ll be back soon!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! William took such amazing care of our pup—he slept soundly, got plenty of walks, and was treated like family. William was incredibly thoughtful, even sending him home with a sweet gift bag, a magnet with his picture, and a heartfelt card. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such loving and attentive hands. Highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own. Thank you so much!”
“Jana was so great with our energetic viszla, we appreciate how our dog was able to play and run outside within the fence and with her dog. Jana was so helpful to say yes to our last minute request so we could attend a funeral-thank you!! Highly recommend :)”
“Stacey did an amazing job taking care of our beloved dog, Lady. We were initially nervous about leaving Lady with someone new, but Stacey quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Stacey provided regular updates and even sent us adorable pictures of Lady, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was in good hands. It was evident that Stacey went above and beyond to ensure Lady's comfort and happiness while we were away. Stacey followed our instructions diligently, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and administering any necessary medications. Lady seemed incredibly content and well-cared for when we returned home, and we could tell she had formed a bond with Stacey. Not only did Stacey take care of Lady's basic needs, but she also provided her with extra attention and affection. She took the time to play with Lady and give her the exercise she needed, which was fantastic. We highly recommend Stacey as a pet sitter. Her dedication, reliability, and love for animals truly set her apart. It's such a relief to know we have someone like Stacey to trust with our furry family member when we're away. Thank you, Stacey, for taking such great care of Lady!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Vanessa and Andrew’s family. I got a bunch of pictures, great communication and a happy dog when I picked her up. We will be back soon! Thank you!!”
“Chloe’s experience with Emma was wonderful. Chloe did have some some unexpected medical issues and Emma was very kind and responsive to her needs. I would highly recommend Emma as a sitter for your pet.”
“Caitlyn, Daniel and their children took wonderful care of my little Ringo. He absolutely loved running around the backyard. And he was out for multiple walks every day. They did an excellent job of updating me with pictures as well as Ringo's daily activities. I certainly hope we can use Caitlyn and Daniel again”
About: I have had dogs all my life and currently have a Beagle and a Setter. I can house your dog with me inside -and I also have a heated outdoor/indoor dog run. I typically take the dogs to a dog park once a day. I can deal with Puppies and older Incontinent dogs - If you wish I can work on some training exercises as well. I am semi-retired and work part time from home. So I have plenty of time to exercise your dog and make sure they are not getting into trouble I have dog crates, an indoor dog room, and an indoor/outdoor heated kennel and fenced in run. So I can tailor the stay to the type of energy level and personality of your pet.
