“Carolyn is awesome. She knows how to handle dogs and keeps you informed about how your fur baby is doing. Trip came back from his visit tired from all the activities and that’s a good thing. It was a great experience and she’s going to be my go to when I have to leave town.”


“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with Simba! He had a blast with her and her family. I received frequent updates with lots of pictures and videos! Chelsea really treated Simba as if he were her own, which was so comforting while I was away for a week. She administered meds, made sure he got plenty of playtime & cuddles and even gave him a bath! I literally couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be back!”


“Eddy is sometimes a handful but Katie and her family managed him pretty well. We are happy that we found her and did not have to worry about Eddy a lot he is totally exhausted from all the playing. Thank you so much again? highly recommend and will book again!”


“I cannot recommend Brenna highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—my dogs took to them right away, which says a lot! Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and even a video, which made being away from my pups so much easier. It was clear they treated my dogs like part of the family—with walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to watch your dog, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking with Brenna again!”



“I would leave more stars if I could! We were so nervous to leave our dog for the first time and Blake made it easy! She was kind & communicative. Blake sent pictures, videos, and updates often. She made the entire experience so simple. We will definitely be boarding with her in the future!”

“I could tell from the pictures Rachael shared with me of Buster Brown that he was very happy spending the weekend with her family. I think he even got to share a princess tent with her daughter!! I felt like Rachael and family loved my sweet boy and missed him after I picked him. It’s great to know your best friend is so well taken care of!”


“Phyllis is Great with our Max!! She is beyond patient with our small dog who is HIGHLY energized! She did everything possible to keep him safe, calm, and happy during a rainy and LOUD holiday weekend for the July 4th! Which is no small thing concerning he is extremely scared of fireworks and bad weather! I highly recommend her to care for your fury family members! She treats them just like they are her own! Can’t thank her enough!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve raised puppies from the ground up and currently care for two energetic, lovable dogs of my own — a Lab Collie mix and a German Shorthair Pointer. I understand the importance of exercise, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s puppy playtime, long walks, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m confident with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care every time. I work part-time during the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. On weekends and evenings, I’m usually outdoors or spending quality time with my dogs, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits in perfectly. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy and build into my lifestyle. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I provide a calm, dog-friendly environment where pups can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My dogs are well-socialized, and I make slow, supervised introductions to ensure everyone gets along. I keep my space clean and secure, with plenty of room for play and quiet areas for rest. I stick to the routines pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a quick visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and cared for like one of my own.

“Sage went above and beyond, for me and my boy! If I ever travel close to her home again, and need a sitter for Bry; I’ll definitely request he stay with her again! Bryer had never stayed overnight with anyone, let alone someone we hadn’t met before. I was an anxious mess! Sage reassured me, not only at meeting but throughout Bryer’s stay as well. I had booked with a sitter beforehand that had to cancel, Sage allowed me to book with her last minute (the morning of/few hours beforehand). And in many areas, eased quite a bit of my anxiety. I truly can’t put in to words how much I appreciate her for allowing me to book, caring for my boy, and reassuring me consistently throughout his stay. Sage is the best! Highly recommend you book your baby(ies) to stay with her!”
