1. Tonja M.

“Tonja was great with my dogs. It was the first time they have stayed with someone who was not family and they seemed to enjoy it. She sent me updates on them daily. I will definately book her again.”


2. Barbara S.

“Barbara took amazing care of my little guy and was great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her if you want your pet to have a nice time while you're away.”


3. Caitlin D.

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous to have my dog staying somewhere I didn't know, especially because he's never been anywhere away from me for longer than a day. She was very quick to respond to my check in messages, which were quite frequent because I was so worried. She sent photo updates. She even clipped his nails for me! If I'm in need of her services again, I would definitely rebook. 10/10 recommend to anyone else!”


4. Kathleen S.

“I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”


5. Theresa M.


“Theresa was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our puppy for vacation but she made us feel at ease and kept us very updated. She sent pictures of him and let us know everything that was going on. She is a very kind and caring person and I know our puppy got lots of love while he was there. I would definitely recommend Theresa!”

8. Jennifer H.

“Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!”

About: I have 4 years of experience working in a doggy daycare/ boarding facility. I work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, so I am very comfortable with them all. I am happy to work with any pet, catering to their individual needs. I'm currently working only part time as a dog groomer in Davis Junction. I work Mondays and Tuesdays. I usually only work about 4 hours, but some Mondays can be up to 8hour shifts. Because of this I am only available for daycare in my home on Wednesday- Sunday, but I am happy to provide my other services any day of the week as long as your comfortable with my schedule. I have an un fenced yard with a tie out for frequent potty breaks, and I live in a quiet dog friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks. I have 1 older small dog who keeps to herself and 2 younger dogs who are ready to play!


12. Christy & Kendra M.

“Christy was great with our pitbull! She can be a handful and doesn’t like other dogs but Christy was so flexible and it was so good to know that she was well taken care of while we were out of town. We would definitely choose her again!”


13. Dominic G.
“Dominic is interested in taking care of your dog! He is very gentle and loving with animals. He has a small dog named Tank who is like his best friend! Tank is very close to Dom and sits very close to him most of the time. Dominic will attend to your pets needs for feeding, playing outside and for love and attention. They have recently put in a privacy fence which will allow for safety and for play in the large back yard. There are no cats in his home, just Tank and and 2 geckos. I find Dominic to be a responsible pet owner and caregiver.”
