“Great experience! Highly recommend. I was vey nervous as this was the first time we have boarded our puppy, but everything was great! We will be using Steve & Patty again when we need to board our puppy ”

“Charlene took GREAT care of my Westie/Daisy for over a week. Charlene is a kind and caring person and was a pleasure to meet. She is extremely accommodating, responsive and responsible.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Family members and friends often rely on me to look after their pets when they’re away, whether that means boarding, bathing, playtime, or providing basic care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re apart. I’m currently caring for a family at home. which means I’m home and available to give your pets lots of attention and playtime. I offer both boarding and daycare during weekdays and weekends, so you can count on me for flexible scheduling that works around your needs. While in my care, your pets will enjoy a secure, fenced-in yard to play and relax in. I have a medium-sized, friendly dog who would be happy to keep your pet company, but if needed, I can also create a safe, separate space. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”


“She was really great an accommodating. She was really quick to help when my flights were canceled and happily watched him since I couldn’t come home. She sent me photos of my dog having fun and was overall really nice to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. :)”


“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”


“Lorinda was fantastic. She sent me photos of Finn enjoying his days and updated me on his time there. He spent 16 days with her. This was very scary for me, being that he’s only been in my life for 8 months and it was for a long period of time. Lorinda took perfect care of him. By day 4 of my trip I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their best friend and dog while away on vacation.”


“I had never left my shiz tsu before and was nervous, but Terry was very confident he would be ok. She sent me pictures of him sitting with her and running around her backyard. He loved being with her, then I was afraid he had forgotten me. She corresponded with me, which was nice. I would leave Finley there again in a heartbeat. If you need a sitter, believe me, Terry is your person!!”


About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!

“Francine was excellent with our two beagles. This was my first time with a dog sitter, and my wife and I were quite nervous, however were reassured very quickly. My wife and I are paid emt’s and have unpredictable work schedules. Francine is flexible, understanding and treated our pups like her own. She updates you throughout the day, and took my hyperactive two pups on long walks that are much needed. Thank you for not only being a sitter, but a friend to my two pups. I highly recommend francine to anyone, because she is the best!! After coming home after 12 hours at her house my two are snuggled in bed fast asleep. Way to go francine!”
