“We had been referred to Rachel by a neighbor who just loves her and now we see why. Rachel was very reassuring as this was our first time leaving Boo with a stranger. Boo is older and pretty anxious but all went well.”

“Chainey was incredibly great to work with all around! She was willing and able to accommodate a last minute booking; she communicated with me throughout their stay; and she did a wonderful job taking care of both of my dogs! I highly recommend booking with her!”

“This is Finn's 2nd time going to Melody & Matthew and he absolutely loves it. They make him feel welcome! He loves having other dogs to play with. Melody keeps me updated with pictures and quick replies. When a situation arise, she quickly notified me. He is wore out for the next couple of days after visiting with them.”

Shanee S.

“Friendly, wonderful, and my dogs came home happy and relaxed. First time they've come home and haven't slept for days and days. Also a very easy person to talk to, she's good with people and animals.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I have over 12 years of pet-care experience and am a pet parent myself to three Chihuahuas, including a senior dog. Because of this, I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets can need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home full-time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can have someone nearby rather than being left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and the routine their family has established. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of love. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and basic medication care when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, schedule, and specific needs before their family leaves. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats for over 16 years, and I treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand how important it is to provide them with patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I currently work part time running my own business and I choose when I want to work, so it gives me more time with our pets and children. I have a fenced yard, and we are looking at adding a play area for the dogs to enjoy their time outside. The fenced portion is about 1/2 of an acre.

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”

“Amanda loved on my two girls and they got along great with her pup! She sent some photos and updates and was flexible with our changing schedule. Her prices are reasonable, and you can tell she loves animals!”

Sarah H.

“Robert and Taylor were great and accommodated a last minute stay around the holidays. We got picture updates and our boy seemed like he had a great time. Highly recommend!!”

Lesley S.

“Jamie was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and Jamie made it an absolutely great experience. Luna was absolutely worn out and had to catch a nap when she got home. Jamie and her family are wonderful people. After meeting with them the first time we knew that Luna would be in great hands. She sent pics and daily updates without us having to ask at all! We definitely will be using Jamie in the future and we highly recommended to anyone else looking for a dog sitter.”

“Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙”
