“Clayton's pet resort is definitely a home away from home. Falkor felt right at home and had the greatest time. Clayton updated me daily with pictures of Falkor and his play mates which gave me total ease of mind. I super highly recommend Clayton for all your puppy dog's "airbnb" needs and I will definitely use him again in the future. Clayton, thank you so very much for taking such good care of Falkor! Greetings, Regine”

“Larissa was great! She updated me each day to let me know how my little Reba was doing. She sent me pictures too. Reba came home exhausted as she had so much fun with Larissa and her family. I would highly recommend Larissa to anyone needing a pet sitter. I would love to book Reba with Larissa again. Thank you Larissa, you are absolutely amazing!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.

“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Edwina was great with our epileptic dog and seemed experienced with every scenario she faced with him. Her and her husband ensured that he got his meds every morning and night and even stayed up with him on his first night there when he couldn’t sleep. I would absolutely recommend her services and will seek out her help if/when it’s needed again!”


“I had a great experience with Lanette! She took excellent care of my boy Winnie while I was out of town. She kept me updated with photos and even gave him a bath when he got dirty! Above and beyond what I expected. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“KenLynn was so great with our pups! We got daily check-ins with cute pictures of them and a brief description of what they’ve been up to that day. I could tell my dogs were very well cared for while they were under her care, she treated them just as if they were her own! I’ll only be going back to her in the future.”


“Deznae was awesome with Duke @ Ellie. Both of them went on plenty of walks. Both of them was extremely happy and they love Deznae. She me in the loop along with pictures that made my day. Yes I will rebook w/ Deznae again as well.”


“Our cat had an excellent experience while boarding with Alexis! She provided regular updates with photos and videos, and we felt assured that our cat was in loving and capable hands. We returned to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Highly recommended!”


“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”


“Christelle and her family were amazing with our 2 pups. I love that the kids gave my attention loving dogs all the love they needed while we were gone. The kids themselves told me how much they loved playing with our babies. I could not be happier!!! We received lots of pictures and videos as well as updates. Even though Christelle is a bit of a drive for us, we will def be repeat customers! Christelle, Thank you to you and your family for treating them like family ❤️”


“Alyssa was great with our dog Leo! Communication and updates were great and she provided daily photos of him! Offered to watch him another night if we didn’t make it home in time.”


“Kelly is so sweet and was great with our older dog, Parker. She exercised him and sent us a ton of photos throughout our trip. I had no concerns about his care—it was obvious he was in great hands! I will definitely use Kelly again if we go out of town!”
