“I can’t say enough good things about Xue! She picked our dog up from an unfortunate situation while we were out of town and took great care of him. She sent daily pictures and he came home safe & happy . Thank you Xue!”


“Kelsey was amazing. I was a bit anxious about leaving Brew somewhere over night and she made me at ease. She sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated. Brew had a blast and will definitely visit Kelsey again soon! Highly recommend”


“Rachel was responsive when I needed a last minutes sitter. I so appreciated her patience as my pups got over their jitters the first night. My mind was put at ease with her photos and updates. It felt like texting a friend who has known my pups forever. Will definitely book with her again!”


“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”



“This family was marvelous with my two dogs. I felt they were well taken care of and got plenty of love. I received an update on both of them and pictures at the end of the day, which was perfect. They both got plenty of outside time and felt comfortable there. I never felt worried and they will go there again when my family goes out of town.”



“Steve took care of my shy Lab x Rottie over easter weekend with only a couple of days notice. He was completely professional -- prompt with communications, double checked her meal schedule -- and very friendly. I was delighted that there were other dogs for her to play with, including his own sweet Corgi, and I could see from the photos he sent that he took great care of her. I will definitely be using Steve in the future!!!”


“What a great experience! I have never boarded a dog anywhere so I was new to this but Daina made this so easy for me. We had an I person meet-and-greet with my dog Lucy so see if this was a good fit for everyone. She has a nice fenced yard and her family seemed genuinely excited to meet my pup. Daina was great at communicating and although I didn’t require photos (only updates or questions if needed…they have a life too!) she sent me a few photos and told us how good things were going. I would definitely recommend Daina and will certainly be back should we need someone to watch our baby again.”


“Matt was wonderful with Topaz. I am always a little nervous about leaving her anywhere because she is so hyper and anxious but he made it very easy and comfortable for me to leave her. She seemed very happy when I picked her up and even went back to him as if she was saying good bye. I will definitely rebook with Matt when I’m in need of a sitter. Thanks Matt!!”


“I could tell Tito was in good hands from the moment I dropped him off. It was great to know he was getting some socialization with other pups of similar size. Lauren sent updates throughout his stay. We would definitely use Lauren again!”


“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”



“Kathi is awesome! She was very flexible when we had to adjust dates, and she is an expert when it comes to introducing new dogs to each other and then beginning the boarding process for a dog's first time. It's clear she's had a lot of experience and our dog seemed to really enjoy the experience. We will be using her again and again!”


“Amelia & Matthew quickly responded to our request for dog sitting within a few days before our unexpected trip out of town. The greet & meet was helpful, since we haven’t used this service in years. We were getting fun updates, videos & pictures of Bailey! Definitly makes it easier to leave our sweet girl, knowing she’s having fun! Excited to have a great option for dog sitting in Lawrence! Thanks again! ?”


“Grace did a great job taking care of our pup. We got daily pictures and comments and felt so good about leaving her with Grace. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for boarding.”


“Regan was awesome! She worked around the holiday schedule and got our pup in for our trip. Very professional and gave us updates daily! Will be using her in the future as my go-to gal in the area:)”


About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is calm and pet friendly space where animals can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.


About: I'm especially good with timid animals, and I love making them feel more at ease. I have a soft presence and a lot of patience. I'm good at reading dog language. I'm super responsible, so you can count on me to follow your dog's preferred daily schedule and to send you updates. I work from home, in a neighborhood that's pleasant for dog walking, and we have a fenced backyard. I grew up with small dogs, wanted to be a vet. I've cared for my current doggo for 9 years. I work from home, and my time AWAY from home is flexible. I can definitely be here as your dog is getting used to our home. About your dog's experience in our home: My home office is on the main floor, and I'm aware of all activity in my small-ish house. Your dog can rest on the sofa, futon, rugs, or the big dog bed--or in a kennel if they prefer. I have a fenced yard with room to run. Our friendly 10-year-old, 35-pound boxer mutt, Kiri, enjoys playing with small dogs. But she's not at all pushy. :-) About caring for timid animals: I had a deep, deep bond with a very timid cat, and I just have a super soft spot in my heart for them. I had a shy young kiddo. One of my "day jobs" is a coach for introverted people: I help people honor their introversion, including their need for quiet, calm, and solitude. About my profile photos: I'm the one in the family who takes the photos, so it's nearly impossible to find a photo of ME and Kiri. :-} I include some photos of our house and yard (kids' faces blurred) to give you a sense of our space. Kiri is part of our family. She hangs out in the common spaces with us, and in the backyard. We take her to the dog park or on daily neighborhood walks. The first 3 photos are at dog parks. The rest of the photos show our house and yard.

“Annicka was kind and professional - I could tell that my cats were in good hands. Her home was clean, and she was very responsive to messages. Thanks for working with me so last minute! 🙏🏻”

“Petra is a kind soul and deeply loves dogs (more than people maybe?! haha) She will make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and totally adored. — expect a very happy (and possibly slightly pampered) pup when you get back! She lives on a wonderful dog friendly forested property in the country close to Lawrence. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond.”




Sondra B.
“I often go with Sandy (and her dog Kiri) to the off-leash dog park. Kiri is always so happy, and clearly enjoys her time out. Sandy is very attentive to Kiri's needs. I see how kind and patient she is, especially with timid dogs. Kiri is well cared for, well trained and gets along with other dogs. I highly recommend Sandy for her excellent dog care.”
