“Melissa took great care of my old boy Mikey and he got along well with her doggies especially Marley. Melissa truly cares about animals. Thanks!”


“Truly wonderful! Valerie is so kind. She watched our sensitive adopted dog over Thanksgiving and made him feel right at home with snuggles and play in the big backyard. I was nervous to leave our dog with someone new to him, but he felt right at home with Valerie!! She sent pictures and video updates, which was so sweet. We absolutely will be using Valerie again in the near future! ❤️”


“Bryanna and her family took excellent care of our fur baby while we were away. She communicated and sent photo updates frequently, and most importantly, she treated our Ricky as if he was her own. She will be my go to from now own if we have any sitting needs.”


“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”


“Christina and Dan run a fantastic facility, my pup had a lot of fun and he'll be back! It was his first time being boarded, and they sent me pictures of him playing and on walks throughout the stay.”


“I would highly recommend Kristen and Daniel. They were great to work with and my pup enjoyed his time with them. They were awesome at taking Mr. Lee on multiple walks and keeping me up to date with him through pictures and videos. I will be using them in the future.”


“My dog Sunny loved being with Anita! I was very happy and knew Sunny was safe in her home. I appreciated the many updates she gave throughout the days. I mentioned Sunny may take more time to eat his food in a new environment and she was very attentive to that and provided great updates regarding his eating. I highly recommend!!”

“Stanley was very well cared for. I could tell when he came home that he was happy and calm. He even came home with a little bag of treats and a photo that Maria provided. We’ll definitely use Maria’s services again.”


About: I’ve had and loved dogs all my life. I care for all dogs with unconditional love. Very attentive dog owner that has love to spare. My wife and I are school teachers. Summertime is when we are home more to do house/yard work and spend quality time with our pups. We have a fenced in backyard that has 12 steps, front yard has 2 steps (pups that may have difficulty can be brought around back from the front 2 steps to still be able to enjoy the yard). Doggie door (weather permitting!) =freedom & fun!

“Bradley did such a great job of taking care of my kitty for the weekend! She makes sure she has all the information she needs beforehand. My cat has medical issues and requires special care and it didn't phase her. I would choose her to take care of my kitty again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”


“Debbie and Adam were wonderful! They provided many updates throughout Winston’s stay and he had a great time there. I will definitely use them again!!”



“I am so happy to find Lisa for my little dog. My ‘baby’ is old and needs medication. I knew she was safe and comfortable with Lisa. She stayed with Lisa for a week - the longest she has ever been with a ‘stranger’, and the daily photos assured me she was having fun.”



“Raleigh is great with our dog and we have used him many times now. Thanks again!”


“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”



“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”


“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”


“Amanda was fantastic! Exceptional set up and extremely attentive. She was very supportive and took plenty of time to answer all our questions and is very experienced. Would definitely refer her!”


“Jennifer was a 1000/10 ! She was an outstanding sitter for our little fur baby. Communication was great and she sent photos and check ins of our little pup. I am definitely using Jennifer again for future trips and would recommend her to others. She is very accommodating, friendly and outgoing and we knew our puppy was going to be in great hands. Thank you Jennifer , you were awesome !”


“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”


“Nelia and her precious family take dog sitting to a very high level! Always will be my first choice for future bookings! Hershey was treated like part of her family with lots of love, attention and exercise. Nelia sent frequent updates with great photos of him with her children, outside in the backyard, and on neighborhood walks. It was my longest time away from him. It was hard for me, but Nelia made it so much easier knowing how well he was being cared for. Nelia followed my instructions exactly and was very flexible with last minute changes with my work schedule and needing to drop him off a day earlier. Flexible with drop off time also. She invited me to stop over for a meet and greet before the first drop off after our first phone call. You learn a lot from meet and greets and I highly recommend them for everyone! Meet Nelia and her family and you will agree that she is a great choice!”
