“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“Kathy R. is amazing at what she does and helped us out in a bind! We wanted our dog to be in our wedding ceremony (the ringbearer, natch), but he needed somewhere to go afterward and we were obviously tied up with the reception, etc. She picked him up at the venue right after the ceremony and watched him overnight. We really appreciated her flexibility, kindness and attentiveness. We would definitely use her dog-boarding services again. Thanks, Kathy!”
“Melissa was absolutely fabulous!!! I am definitely the definition of helicopter mom when it comes to my dog. Melissa was amazing she allowed us to come by before the booking to meet her dogs and her. Then once the trip began she was fantastic constantly updating and sending me photos of my boy…heath is a covid puppy and VERY bonded to me and it was soo amazing to see him happy and comfortable while i was gone!! Thank you Melissa for being so wonderful!! Heath cant wait for the next trip so he can come back and play!”

“Stephen and Rachel were wonderful for boarding our cat, Nori. They are just the nicest couple and ommunication was always quick and easy. Their home is warm, inviting, and peaceful. They have two adorable cats of their own that were relaxed and friendly. After leaving Nori with Stephen and Rachel for over a week, she returned home in perfect shape. We would absolutely reach out to Stephen and Rachel for any future boarding needs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Nori!”
“Being my 1st time using the app with my puppy, I was nervous. Jenai & Sean were outstanding! They made my dog feel like part of their family and treated him with as much love as I do. They were patient with his quirks & kind to send lots of photos to keep me informed. I will absolutely be using them in the future & highly recommend them”
“They were so wonderful for my dog Emmy. I got regular updates with photos, which helped so much. They were quick to respond to any message or question and I would recommend and book them again when needed!”

“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”
“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She recently cared for my two dogs, one of whom is just a 4-month-old puppy, and her service went above and beyond my expectations. From the start, she made sure we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her care, keeping us updated daily with the sweetest photos of them playing and getting plenty of cuddles from her family. Not only did she treat them like her own, she handled the extra energy and attention a puppy requires. She also went the extra mile by bathing both of my boys before we picked them up. This level of care and thoughtfulness meant the world to us. Our fur babies had a great time in her care. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Sarah was great! We had an emergency that delayed us and Sarah was able to accommodate that for us at last minute. We were so thankful. We would definitely ask her to watch Hermes again.”
“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”
“Ashtyn is very nice and Bimmer seemed to really enjoy her and her dog Gus. I was provided with pics/videos when we were away and communication was awesome! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I grew up around dogs. My grandma always had dogs around and I loved helping feed, walk, and bathe them. When I got older I convinced my parents to get me a dog of my own. On top of having a dog I also have experience working in a doggy daycare and boarding facility. Pet care fits into my routine quite well. I am currently entering college as a freshman, however I am taking around half of my courses online. Because I am only in class a couple days a week I have plenty of time on my hands to just be at home. In my home I will have a designated room for your dog to eat and sleep. This is beneficial as I have a dog of my own and while she is not food aggressive it will just help me keep an eye on your dog to ensure they are eating their own food in the right quantities. I will also have a designated space for their personal belongings and any medication to make sure it stays safe. If your dog sleeps in a kennel there will be a space for it, however if not there will be a dog bed for them to use. I will also communicate with you a proper plan for exercise and play time based on age, energy levels, and needs of your dog.
About: "With over 35 years of personal dog care experience, including fostering, I provide a warm, home-like environment where pets are welcome on couches and beds for maximum comfort." I care for my elderly mother who lives next door. Our backyards are connected, and I use 24/7 cameras so I can monitor her while staying home with the dogs. For your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, my home features a fully fenced yard, a child gate, and pocket doors to securely section off areas as needed.
