“Daryl boarded our dog from the 23rd through the 24th and she was amazing! Our dog is, for the most part, very high maintenance and craves personalized attention and that is what he got for two days being with Daryl. We had looked at other boarders, ones with other dogs, ones with various other animal types, kids etc... and just watching Chief interact with Daryl was incredible. He immediately took to her and to the environment, was playing, jumping and even napping almost right away. We were sent photos consistently while we were away and just seeing him happy and playful and even how tired he was was a wonderful sight. We would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to have their dog boarded to consider Daryl, especially if they require more personal attention. She did great!!”
“This review is very long over due! Dwight and his wife took exquisite, loving care of my Bentley who typically has anxiety. I have always been so worried about leaving him but not during this long stay. Dwight made Bentley part of family and for that I am grateful. Bentley was happy and healthy upon my return.”

About: Hi! I’m a 29-year-old lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve never gone a day without dogs in my home since I was 3 years old! I grew up with two Rottweilers, then two German Shepherds. Having experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved. I recently said goodbye to my senior dog, which made me appreciate even more how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. I understand that dogs are family, and I would treat your fur baby with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. My dogs are friendly and enjoy being around other dogs, and I’m happy to help provide a comfortable environment for pups who enjoy canine companionship. I live in a three-bedroom apartment with plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I also understand that some dogs may need their own space or may be more comfortable staying separate from other pets. If you have any concerns about your dog needing separation, I have crates and additional rooms available to help keep them safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply having someone nearby to make them feel comfortable, I’ll do my best to make their time with me a positive experience. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their dog is being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ I work at the post office four days a week, starting at 6 AM and typically getting home around 230 PM. I also work just 3 minutes from home, so getting back quickly if needed is never a problem! I walk my dogs 3–4 times a day: before work, after work, after dinner, and before bed. After work, I come straight home to walk and feed them, and 9 times out of 10, I’m bringing home treats for them, too! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, and I make sure every dog receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every dog like family and want both pets and their parents to feel comfortable and confident
“Shania was very accommodating to my last minute requirements. She provided updates on a regular basis and took a genuine interest in Lucky's stay. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for years in different sizes and different care needs. I have watched dogs and cats for family members for days at a time I work from home and can keep an eye on the pets the whole time and take breaks for having to go at anytime that they need. I can feed them and give them medication if necessary. Also no open foods or dangerous things for them to get into. I also do not smoke and have a temperature controlled house

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
