“Christina and her family are fantastic. This was the first time Stevie and I would be apart after his adoption 4 months ago and I didn’t want put him back in a kennel environment. Christina and her family made him feel safe and loved from the moment they met him. I received daily updates and pictures of Stevie enjoying himself and treated as another member of her lovely family. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stevie know has a family away from home. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!”

Her commitment to creating a positive experience for both pets and owners is commendable, and we are grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend her for your pet boarding needs. Happy new year Aleja and family.”

About: With 18 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve had the joy of raising over 5 dogs, 2 cats, fish, and hamsters. I have also helped deliver puppies.

About: I have been taking care of pets since my first own pet, at around age five. Since then, my love for animals just grew and I can’t see my life without being around furry friends. I’ve been always helping family and friends to watch their pets when they are away for vacation so, I will love to host your pet in their new home away from home. I am a stay at home mom, so between the daily routine , I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, love and playtime. I care for pets with love and respect. I always follow owners instructions and do my best to understand pet’s needs. I love to play with the pets and give them some love.
“Sam was awesome!! Ollie is like my son so I'm always cautions when leaving him with sitters but let me tell you I have found my sitter for life with Sam! I love that I can get updated via Instagram. Ollie always seemed very happy which in return eases my mine while on vacation. I had a good feeling about Sam from the meet and greet and I'm so happy I was right. Thanks so much Sam for taking such great care of Ollie. He'll 100% be back for a visit in the future.”

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.
“Elia was the perfect match for my dog Mya. From her communication, personality, kindness, and overall love for my dog. I felt in good hands. Will be using her again. She is a blessing and highly recommend to anyone.”

About: I'm an AVID dog lover! Since my childhood, I've been called upon by neighbors to care for their dogs. I currently have my 8th (Kona) and 9th (Kali) dog in my home. At multiple times during my life, I've was a dog owner to 3 dogs at one time. I recently gave up my teaching career to do this full time, after only doing it during the summers. I have a spacious home with radiant floor heat for cold nights, and central air for hot days and a very large fenced in yard, all in a quiet neighborhood. As a teacher who just left the education field, I am home committing myself to dog care/boarding after just doing it during the summers. I also work on my home based travel business. My yard is grassy and comfortable for lounging in the sun or running around to play. Plenty of dog friendly space indoors, too! Crate available as needed.
“Amy is absolutely fabulous! She was able to get my dog to eat, which is tough at home let alone in a new place. Amy gave me so many updates - I always knew my dogs were safe, loved, and happy. My dogs loved her yard so much! We will definitely be rebooking with her for our next trip.”

About: Ten years of experience working with a fenced yard, I provide safe, loving boarding where your dog can play freely and feel right at home I right now am working 4-5 hours a day during the week and then weekends working 8 hour shifts. When I’m not at work I’m at home hanging We keep them in the kitchen, with the doggy gates and then I let them out to play in the yard and go play with them.
“Kevin and Natalie were absolutely amazing with my dog! They gave him so much love and truly treated him like he was their own. They were very quick with responses and sent many pictures over my puppy’s stay. 10000% recommend them!”

“Chris has been awesome with Annie during her stay. Annie got along with Chris and his dog Bunker really well. Excellent communication, too. My husband and would definitely rebook with Chris!”

About: I have cared for pets ranging from a sleepy older cat to the more energetic dog. I am able to give medications and/or take your pet to the vet when needed. I love playing with dogs and cats to ensure that they get the socialization they need. I can personalize the care given to your pet, just let me know what you need! I work from home so am available to tend to your pet as often as needed. I am available all day to care for your pet(s). I will arrange my time around your pet's schedule as I only accept one pet (or two/three pets if they are part of the same family) at a time. I live on a large farm and will be able to take your pet for long walks if they are boarding or needing day care. I also have access to a fenced in area of the yard so that your pet can run around safely. I also have a friendly cat that warms up to other cats and dogs after a short getting to know you period.
“Vanessa has taken amazing care of our fur baby two times over the last few months! She is so kind and reliable, and our puppy LOVES her!! Highly recommend Vanessa if you need a dog sitter!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Samantha! From the moment we connected, it was clear that she is not only a compassionate and responsible caregiver but also someone who truly loves dogs. She was a fantastic communicator throughout the entire process — responsive, thoughtful, and always keeping us in the loop. What meant the most to us was how sensitive and understanding she was with our senior dog’s needs. Samantha took the time to make sure our pup was comfortable, calm, and well cared for, respecting his pace and routines. She sent regular photo updates that really put us at ease and helped us enjoy our time away without worry. Samantha is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
