Kathy took great care of our golden retriever! She sent pictures throughout the stay easing any worries we had leaving our beloved dog for vacation. She was responsive and kind. Thank you again! We will book again in the future.

Fae and Joe hosted our giant dog at their house for almost a month. They took very good care and our dog loves them! We received daily photos and videos with little notes on how it was going. Gave us great peace of mind that our dog was like a member of their family. Our pup came home looking happy and healthy. They even packed a small parting gift. Hard to find such great caretakers! Thank you!

About: I got my certification in dog grooming from Animal Behavior college, and have been grooming for about 2 years. I try to keep my clients pups on their same daily rutine. I have good sized yard that is partially fenced in, so I keep dogs on a long leash while roaming outside. I do not leave them alone out side in the yard. Along with walks, the dog park is also something I can do if requested. My schedule is flexible and I work with my clients when it comes to scheduling. If you have a special request, please ask. I am accommodating and will do my best to make it work for you and your pup! Hope to hear from you and our furry friends soon!

We left our 14 year old lab mix with Kathy and Snickerdoodle while we explored Rockport. Kelly was very happy to be there with two dogs and Kathy. She had dogs to hang out with and a quiet place to rest and relax as well. Kathy was very responsible, communicative and flexible . We will use her service again when we're in that area.

Liza provided outstanding care for my dog Toto during my time away. She was highly communicative, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to my pet’s well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed how at ease and happy Toto was during his stay. Upon returning home, I found my dog happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would confidently recommend Liza to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy, and professional pet care provider.

Myleigh was so great with Cooper! Cooper is a 13-year old black lab mix who can get anxious sometimes. When I brought him to her, he barely even noticed me, totally engaged in greeting her and went along so willingly into her house, never even glancing back at me :-) She has that kind of energy. She sent me pictures, one of him curled up with her cat and he looked so happy just hanging out with the cat! I was surprised because he's never been around cats but he loves attention and cuddling (it even made me think about getting a cat lol!) Seeing that pic melted my heart and I wasn't nervous about him at all after that, which made the overnight so much better. I highly recommend Myleigh to watch your furbabies and will definitely reach out to Myleigh in the future!
