Amy has been great to us. We've boarded with her several times, and our nervous pup has gotten comfortable staying with her. Amy is great on communication and sending updates

We have used Ronda twice! Both times my dog was extremely well taken care of and spoiled! Really can’t stress enough how grateful for her flexibility and kindness. My dog fell in love with her immediately and I can tell she enjoys the bond. Recommend to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their fur baby.

Terry was awesome! This was our dogs first stay away with a “new” person and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog. She took the time to get to know our dog before the stay and updated us with some pictures and even a video of how he was doing while we were away. We will definitely be going back!

I would absolutely book with Denton and Elizabeth again! This was the first time we’ve ever had to board our dog for a night, and we were a little nervous about it. They were very professional and communicated efficiently with us on exactly how Joy would be cared for, gave great details and daily updates, and were very kind to both Joy and our family during this transition. Joy was too nervous to eat much of her food, but Elizabeth kept us posted on her condition and sent pictures and videos to show that despite her anxiety, she was thoroughly enjoying getting to run around the yard and getting lots of loving attention, fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated both of them and the set up and experience they were able to offer!

Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)

Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!

About: Working with my mom and brother since 10 I am now setting out on my own, we have made sure every pet in and throughout has gotten their proper care and I will continue to today. I am a vet ACE center student at Hermitage High School and a senior in high school at Freeman so be assured I am taking the time to learn about your fur baby and will do my best to succeed in their best liking. Currently I take care of pets at home through my mom but I am going on my own and at my ACE center, as I have at past jobs of mine. So after school and on the weekends is best for me. If you write out your schedule, what time for feedings, walks, when bedtimes are, and preferences, I will do it to the best of my ability while also updating suggestions and places to get supplies. You will get updated with pictures and other chores you would like done at your will.

She was great! I left my pup with her for two weeks and she sent me updates of him daily. She even bathed him 3 times and I was happy that he also had other dogs to play with and kept him busy. I definitely recommend her and will be coming back for my future trips 😁

KiKi is amazing! I was nervous for Romy’s first boarding experience as he has some quirks, but it was no challenge for KiKi. She sent the cutest pictures and kept me updated throughout our trip. Romy had the best time playing in the backyard, swinging, and cuddling.

My dog LOVED staying with Michelle. He got to do all his favorite things - running around outside, lay in the sun, play with the kids, snuggle on the couch. He had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. Michelle sent detailed updates and photos each day which was very reassuring. I will definitely board with her again!
