About: For 5 years, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves more than just basic care—they deserve attention, playtime, and plenty of exercise to keep tails wagging. I’m especially attentive to pets with special needs, making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or extra snuggles, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I welcome pet care into my schedule pretty easily from the time I wake up until the last potty break of the night. I’m generally home all day and can be attentive to pets who require a lot of interaction. I have one 9 year old white Shepard who is very friendly , docile and gets along with all dogs. I live near many walking trails in a very walkable and dog friendly neighborhood, so frequent dog walks are easy. Your pet will be free to roam the house indoors and relax on my closed in deck.
“We were fortunate to have found Jorden and Savannah! I had to leave for a week-long trip with short notice, so we couldn't have a trial run. Fortunately, I had nothing to worry about. Atticus was happy, having fun, and was taken care of as if he were at home - he was provided with food, medication, and love from the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up.)! They allowed him to sleep with them, and I received numerous lovely photo updates. Atticus enjoyed being with their kids who were very kind to him. We plan to bring Atticus back here for future boarding. I cannot express enough how wonderful this experience was. I am thankful we found them and highly recommend their services!”
“Absolutely loved Jodi and so did our dog, Maddie! Jodi took care of our elderly dog as if Maddie were her very own. I felt confident in her knowledge and passion for caring for small and or elderly dogs. Jodi sent us photos and texts frequently and really put us at ease.”

“We cannot say enough great things about Marla and her dog sitting services! We have used her now for two family trips when we were out of town for an extended period of time, and we always joke that Milo our Labradoodle doesn't want to leave her! Milo has been a part of our family since the day he was born and means so much to us. The level of attention, care, and love that is given to him by Marla and her team is truly unmatched! We always know he is in great hands and we love getting a picture of him enjoying his time! Her whole process is stress-free and is amazing to not have to think twice about one thing on your to do list!”
