“Kayla is a consummate professional whose kindness and love of animals is immediately apparent. She is a trustworthy, loving person who I would not hesitate to leave my two pups with again!”

“This is my third or fourth time leaving my dog with Jenny and, as always, I am incredibly happy with her care. I feel my dog is treated as family while I'm away and that peace of mind means so much to me. There is no one I'd feel safer leaving my girl with.”

About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!

“Cheyanne took great care of my 11 year old lab. Sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away missing my baby. Definitely helped ease my mind and she always returned my messages within an hour. I could tell my dog was happy to be there and she loved playing with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend Cheyanne”

About: I have been blessed to grow up with cats and dogs my whole life. I love taking care of animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own. Animals bring joy and it’s important to find care that you can trust and will do what you ask because they are your animals. I’m happy to care for your pets the way you request. I believe animals are a part of the family and deserve to be treated with that kind of love, care, and respect. I’m currently working part time as a nurse while I care for my son and my own fur babies. I look forward to meeting more animals and sharing the love. I have a privacy fenced in back yard where our dog stays. I have 2 outdoor cats (used to my dog who come and go as they please) and 1 indoor cat. If you choose to board your dog with mine we would have a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for your fur baby and mine
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with my husband and three friendly dogs and two cats who love to socialize with new friends (as long as they are calm and polite around cats). Living on 5 beautiful acres, we have plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air. There’s also a fenced area for safe outdoor time and a quiet room inside for pets who prefer their own space or need downtime away from others. I treat every pet as part of the family - providing personalized care, a comfortable environment, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s an overnight stay or doggy daycare, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and right at home. I work from my home office, so I’m here throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy afternoon naps. Dogs enjoy frequent outdoor time or inside play depending on the weather and their comfort level. While I do occasionally step away for short appointments, pets are never left alone for more than two hours at a time, and always in a safe, comfortable space. Your pets will get lots of love, care, and companionship - not just supervision, but genuine quality time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Cleanliness and safety are part of my daily routine: food and water are refreshed regularly, litter and waste are promptly managed, and all playtime is supervised. Your pets will enjoy a spacious, peaceful environment, balanced socialization, multi-pet expertise, personalized attention, flexible accommodations, and all-day care. I keep a close eye on each guests’ comfort, routine, and personality, ensuring they get the right mix of activity, affection, and rest. With me, your met will enjoy country-style play, cozy indoor time, and loving attention.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets!
