About: I was born and raised with several different breeds and sizes of dogs! I spent the last 15 years being a dog mom to 2 amazing beagles. I have experience with medication administration, geriatric, and puppy care. I am a nurse by trade and will provide the same care and compassion to your pet as I do my patients. New to the area and currently at home during the days. Happy to host your pet in our home for boarding and daycare. Available for drop in and dog walks as needed! We live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of walking paths nearby. Ranch style home with some green space allowing for plenty of sniffs and potty breaks!

“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”

About: I can't imagine life without a dog! All my life I've used common sense and loads of love to care for my furry babies. I am a responsible and very loving pet owner. Since I am retired, my schedule is very flexible; I'm home most of the time. When I do work, it is usually on my computer in short periods. Your baby will receive lots of one-on-one attention and snuggles. I am retired and have lots of space in my home. Although there's no fenced yard, I will take your baby out on a leash and give them loads of love and attention.

About: I’ve grown up as an animal lover and have raised a variety of different species of pets. Once I became a dachshund mom, I knew I found my calling! I consider all dogs under my care fur babies, and take care of them like they are my furry children. I have an open schedule and can accommodate a clients needs quite easily! Let me know what your schedule looks like and I can most likely make it work. I have a fenced yard perfect for dogs of any size. While in the house they will be kept company and allowed on the couch and dog beds. I’m experienced with crate training and have crates available for dogs that like a crate to sleep or relax in.

About: I've had a dog since I was 13, now 2 dogs, and I've always loved dogsitting/dogwalking for friends and family when needed. I'm ready to spoil your pets with playtime, walks, and affection. My cat recently passed away so I'm looking for some cats to love on 🩷 I'm currently part time, so my schedule is VERY open. I'm hoping to work full-time starting mid January but even still, I should be quite available! Lots of attention, play time, exercise, cleanup (poop&litter box), outdoor time, training time if needed, I'm solely there for the animal, and want them to have the best time!

“Rachel and her family took amazing care of our pup when we had a last minute out-of-town trip. Rachel sent us photo updates and we knew he was having the time of his life, with tons of exercise and love. Milo will definitely visit again!”

Caitlin N.

“Yvonne took such good care of my pup, she is knowledgeable and super willing to work with his quirks and training needs! She makes sure to give such detailed reports of how they spend their day and she gives him great exercise! She also sends lots of photo updates!”

Clara N.

“Kieran and Megan are wonderful! They have been very kind, great with communication and understanding of my dog's needs and quirks. I will be using Kieran for care again soon!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”

About: Animals have been at the center of our lives for more than 30 years. From raising and breeding dogs for two decades to working hands on with animals of all kinds, we bring a lifetime of experience, deep knowledge, and grounded compassion to the way we care for pets. As the co-founder of a rescue organization, we have worked with dogs of every breed, temperament, and medical condition. We have supported animals through trauma, healing, old age, and everything in between. This is not just something we do. It is who we are. Together as a mother and daughter team, we run a quiet, private boarding facility for dogs who need more than just a place to stay. Some of the dogs who stay with us are seniors. Some are recovering from surgery or dealing with medical conditions. Some are just emotionally wired for quiet and routine. And some are perfectly healthy but do best in a calm, structured environment. All of them are cared for by the same two people, every day. We do not run a social daycare model. We do not hand your dog off to a rotation of staff. What we offer is consistent, thoughtful, one on one care in a setting designed for peace and safety. Each dog has a large private indoor suite with access to a quiet outdoor run. Our days are structured around rest, movement, enrichment, and calm interaction. We have a fully fenced three acre pasture for supervised off leash time, a heated indoor room for colder days, and plenty of space to stretch, relax, and breathe. We welcome all dogs who do well in this kind of space. We specialize in senior care, special needs, and recovery, but also offer standard boarding for dogs who thrive in a low stress setting. Caring for animals is not a side job here. It is the center of our lives. And we are honored to offer a place where your dog will be safe, known, and truly cared for. Caring for dogs is our daily focus. Every part of our routine is built around making sure the dogs in our care are safe, settled, and cared for. We adjust feeding, potty breaks, walks, and enrichment based on each dog’s needs and schedule, not just a one size fits all plan. We are a mother and daughter team with decades of hands-on experience. Every dog stays in a private indoor suite with a quiet outdoor run and is cared for directly by us. Our three acre fenced pasture allows for secure off leash time, and we also offer group play — but only for dogs who truly enjoy it and do well in that setting. We keep the environment calm, structured, and predictable, with a focus on safety and individual attention.

“Our senior dog is a clingy guy and he certainly loved clinging to Lizz. He was happy to be with her and she was great about taking him out for his daily exercise -- strapping on his leg brace beforehand and icing him afterward -- as well as administering his daily medication. We look forward to seeing Lizz again!”
