“Amber was wonderful! She sent us several updates, including videos and pictures, was very friendly, took great care of our two girls and had great communication! We look forward to booking with her again :)”
“Melissa took care of my pup for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. I could tell right away that she really loves animals. Every day, she sent me the cutest pictures and videos, which made me feel so relaxed knowing my dog was happy, safe, and having a blast. It felt like he got treated just like one of her own — lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked him up, he was so calm and clearly had an awesome time with her. And as a sweet bonus, she even gave me the cutest little gift when I came to get him. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Melissa!”

“Was relieved to be able to leave our precious pup with Joi for the night. She is both competent and compassionate. He can be a handful with separation anxiety. She gave Buddy quality time and sent photos which made it easy not to worry about him. She was also extra helpful working with our schedule. We'd love to have her care for him again if she can tolerate our Big Baby. : )”

“Kayla and her sweet children took such good care of my dogs I think they were almost sad to return home. Lots of outdoor play and love in a family environment. Lots of pictures and updates. Dogs were cared for exactly as if they were in their own home with care taken to follow familiar routines. We look forward to using Kayla’s services again!”
“Charlene was great! She has a nice fenced backyard and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular updates and photos during my time away. I will definitely consider using Charlene again for my dog boarding needs.”

About: I grew up around dogs and have been a dog Mom for almost three years now. I believe that dogs deserve a full life filled with new experiences and activities. I'm your girl if you want your pup to be active and social while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and ages. Please let me know what your dog's needs are and I will accommodate you all as best I can. I understand the pain of leaving your puppy with a stranger - rest assured, I will treat your pup with as much respect and affection as my own. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet if you would like to see if I am a good fit for your pup. I have worked remote the last few years which means your dog will rarely be without my presence during their stay. I will fit their schedule and needs in right alongside my own dog's. I have a large unfenced back yard where our dog loves to play. We are happy to crate your dog, put them on a long lead outside and do anything that makes you comfortable and assured that your pet is safe.
“We dropped of our whippet and pointer for overnight stay and they did great. Christy kept me updated on how they were settling in through their stay. My pointer loves her so much that he was barking and scratching his kennel when We were leaving. I thought he had to potty, so I stopped to let him out and as soon as we took off again he started fighting to get out of his kennel and see christy. We will definitely us Christy again”
“Patricia was fabulous with our dog, Pebbles. She sent us great pictures and kept us updated. Her home was very near and clean! We will be requesting Patricia again!”
“Rhonda was wonderful and took great care of our young dog Ash. We had never left him with anyone before and he really had never interacted with other dogs, especially ones bigger than himself. She was wonderful texting us updates and assuring us that he was doing well, having fun and becoming great friends with both of her dogs. She has a wonderful fenced in back yard so our boy was able to get his energy out. We will definitely be contacting her again without hesitation anytime we need a sitter or even just a playdate. Thank you again.”
“Lovely experience with Emily. You could tell she has experience with animals. Very communicative and enjoyed receiving pics while away from my kitty. I am confident to leave my furry friend with her again as she was very attentive and sweet with my kitty.”
“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”
“Highly recommend Devin – super reliable and awesome at staying in touch. He sent me pics and updates that really showed me how happy my dog was hanging out with him. Those little updates were super thoughtful and made me feel connected to my pet even when I couldn't be there.”

“Ria is one of the most caring and compassionate people I know! She has a knack for connecting with animals and is always in tune with their needs. She has a way of making any pet feel right at home with her. She will meet them at their activity level - whether they need a 5 mile walk, a few rounds of fetch, or just some snuggle time on the couch. With her own dog, she's spent a great deal of time researching training and best care practices - she's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. Your dog is in great hands with Ria! :)”
