“We were very happy having our dog Rita stay with Crystal and Joel. Rita is timid and, during our meet and greet, they both took their time getting to know her. They have a good understanding of different dog temperaments and which dogs get along well for group interaction. On Rita’s first day visit Crystal took time to introduce her to other dogs slowly. Rita came home happy and tired. We’ll be booking additional play days and an extended boarding time with them. Joel and Crystal are highly recommended!”
“Our dog Penny enjoyed daycare with Diana and her pups, and Diana did an extraordinary job making Penny (and me by extension!) feel comfortable. Penny can be anxious and slow to warm up, which Diana handled with such care. She is a true pro and genuine dog lover. We trust her completely with our girl.”
“Denise was the best with our little yorkie while we were in town for a graduation. She took care of him during the day and he was calmer than usual and happy! Thank you again Denise!”
“Penner and Addie had a terrific time with Valerie and the other pets! Valerie's space is clean, organized, and she is very professional. We'll definitely be going back!”
“They made everything so easy and super flexible. I've done rover in the last and I really appreciated Joshua's willingness to work with my schedule and his experience with dogs and my dogs needs. She's more shy and can have sensitivities with her space and he made sure to get to know her a bit to keep her happy. Thank you!”
“Her and her hubby are so sweet. My pup seemed happy. Their home was nice and clean. Everytime I'm in their neck of the woods, I'll be sure to look up their availability. My only wish is she is closer to me so I can drop off my pup more often! Lol.”
“My dogs were happy and healthy every time I picked them up, which is the most important factor. Diane was communicative, friendly, flexible, and accommodating. I appreciated her going out of her way to treat me and my dogs well.”
“So many good things to say! This is the first time I've needed to hire a dog sitter and I am so happy. They sent me lots of pictures and videos, totally understood her needs and took amazing care of my fur baby. They genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and made me feel very comfortable. 100% I would recommend them.”
“Julie and her husband were wonderful. I was able to meet them before hand with the dogs so I could ask questions and feel comfortable. I was a little nervous using this for the first time but Julie sent me pics and videos during the day which made me feel better. My dogs ate dinner and passed out when we got home which never happens. I know they got the attention they needed during the day. They are great and I will be using them much more”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, growing up in the country and caring for my own pets. My home is pet friendly. When your dog stays with us they become a part of the family. Available 24/7. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Dogs get to roam free in the fenced backyard and get two long walks a day (AM and PM) around the neighborhood or at the dog park nearby. I have a fenced in back yard that is private. I also have a doggy door. My dog is friendly towards other dogs and loves the companionship
“We felt really confident leaving our dog with Derrick after corresponding with him. I appreciate the focus on safety and our pup had a great time. She is pooped after a day of fun. Thank u!”
“Absolutely wonderful first day with Brandy! When I picked Sampson up after leaving him for the day, he wasn’t all wound up and anxious like he normally is if I leave him with a friend. He was relaxed and immediately slept the rest of the night. She tuckered a border collie out!! I will absolutely be taking him back. 100% recommend.”
