“We had a great experience with Arianna! She sent daily updates and treated our Honey like one of her own so much so we where afraid she wouldn't want to come home :] We will definitely be using her again for any future trip.”


2. Jared M.

“Fantastic experience! They were able to board with just a last minute notice which really saved our vacation. We received photos throughout their entire stay and it was clear the dogs had a really good time. They also came back so clean and fresh smelling!”


3. Shayne & Jonathan J.

“She sent a lot of updates and pictures, and I can tell Chevi was loved during her stay. Chevi will be going back over later this week! PS. Chevi is a 120 pound Cane Corso so if you have a large dog you can feel safe here!”

17. Rachel B.
About: Matt has cared for animals since he was a child and Rachel has about 10 years of pet care experience! We live in a home on 4 acres, so your dog will have plenty of areas to explore. It is unfenced, so we will be sure to keep them on a lead/leash while exploring. We both have hybrid/flexible work, so one of us will always be able to be at home with your pet. We know how important it has been for us that our pets feel at home with their sitters, so we will get to know your dog and do everything we can to make them feel at home! We have one dog, but will be sure to introduce them slowly and not force any interaction if they are not comfortable. We have the space to keep them separated while still giving your dog all the love, attention, and play time it needs! We have raised puppies, trained dogs, and cared for senior and sick dogs. We look forward to caring for your pet! We both have hybrid/flexible work so one of us will be able to always be at home with your pet! Rachel loves walking so your pet will have plenty of walks. We also love taking dogs with us on drives, out to coffee shops, etc. so if your pup likes those types of things, we'll be sure to do that too! Our yard is not fenced, but we have leads outside for fetch and will take them for walks around the property with the lead or leash as well. We have a crate for bedtime or if they want some personal space. We just ask you bring the pet's bed or crate mat with them! We have one dog but will supervise all interactions and separate them as much as needed.


18. Lily H.

“Lily was so great with our dog, Dax. Our dog takes a daily medication and she made sure to keep me updated that he was taking it as well as eating his food regularly. She had a nice yard for my dog to play in and I felt like she truly cared about my dog.”


19. Suzanne M.

“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”


20. Emily A.

“Emily and her family were amazing to my sweet older pup. They spoiled her with walks and playing time and I think she thought she was being adopted. I was very comfortable leaving her when she normally travels with me - they kept me updated with happy pics and I totally hope to let her board with them again ! Thank you Emily!”
