We’ll definitely be seeing her soon. Thank you again!”


“Gail was awesome! Ginger loved staying with her and got plenty of exercise. She updated me with pictures while Ginger stayed with her and kept in contact with me. If I need someone to watch Ginger again, Gail will be my first choice!”


About: We have taken care of and loved animals all of our life. John and I are retired and can give your fur baby all the attention they need. We are retired “homebodies” so we have all the time in the world to dedicate and love your fur baby. They will never be left alone! We have a large, secure fenced in backyard. We also have a 1 1/2 year old male neutered Shih tzu so our home is safe and doggie proof!

“What a caring and warm home for Blue to be in while I traveled out of state. Michael and his family met me for a meet and greet which made me very comfortable to leave my Standard Poodle with them. He had lots of activities and other pups to interact with during his stay. We are returning next week again! I highly recommend Michael”


“Margie is my trusted doggie person. She has taken care of Veda for many years and understands her disability and adjusts to her digestive health issues. She administers medicines such as eyedrops and enalipril. We keep in constant contact when we are away. As a result I can relax and enjoy myself knowing she is well cared for.”

“Our fur baby, Lena, had an awesome week with Carol! Carol did a wonderful job taking care of Lena and keeping us posted throughout the week with status updates and pictures. Carol treated Lena like she was her own providing love, exercise, and stable routine for her. I highly recommend Carol to care for your pets.”


“This was my dog Wyatt’s first overnight experience with someone other than a family member, and I’m so glad it was with Katelyn. My somewhat anxious boy was instantly at ease in Katelyn’s comfortable home, and quickly warmed up to her, her daughter, and their dog Poky. Katelyn is very very warm and responsive, and kept us up to date with frequent text messages and photos. Wyatt had the time of his life! I would definitely entrust him to her care again in future!”

“A Truly Compassionate and Trustworthy Pet Host I can’t say enough about the exceptional care my dog received while staying with Gina. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in a safe, structured, and genuinely loving environment. Gina provided the perfect balance of compassion and routine—something that was incredibly important to me while I was away. My dog was treated like part of the family, with plenty of affection, playtime, and thoughtful attention to his emotional and physical well-being. They maintained a healthy routine, ensured consistent walks, feeding, and rest time, and even sent regular updates and photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable my dog was. It was clear that Gina is not only experienced but also deeply passionate about animals. Coming home to a calm, well-cared-for dog made all the difference. I feel grateful to have found someone who truly treats pets with the love and respect they deserve. Highly recommend without hesitation!”
