“Alice has watched our dog several times now. We trust her to take loving care of him, no matter his needs. She goes above and beyond! Great communication and pictures, helps us feel connected to our pup when we’re away. Grateful for her consistent care when we’re away.”
“We are very happy with the care our Dachshund mix, Sophie received from Lisa and Dennis. Our girl is very timid and not friendly with strangers. They worked with her and in the short time she was with them, started to open up a bit. We will definitely try to schedule with them in the future if the need arises!”
“Oh my gosh!! This was Freyja’s first time ever boarding and she literally found her home away from home. Cory and his spouse were amazing and loved Freyja as their own. I will always have Cory watch my fur babies and so should you!!”
“Evan and his family are just amazing. My English cream golden retriever - Loki , just didn’t want to leave his place when we went to pick him up after 4 days. Evan had to come to our car to drop Loki because he wouldn’t move 😂 and Loki legit sulked for hours after reaching home because we brought him back. Clearly shows how much he loved his stay at Evan’s place. Loki had a great time with Evan, his family and his dog - Winny. I can blindly recommend him to all the dog parents out there. Thank you once again, Evan .”
“She was very accommodating and great communication. We had just one of our pups with her and If we are ever back in the area we would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Great yard and relaxed area. If you are looking for a person in this area you will not be disappointed.”
About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!
“She is amazing! Got pictures and videos while on vacation. She actually cares about animals. Will definitely use her again and highly highly highly recommend using her!!!”
“This was our first time away from Stanley for more than a few days. Stanley seemed happy while we were gone and we felt better knowing he was well taken care of! He really likes Christy and Erkam!”
“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”
“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”
“Savannah was amazing! She went above and beyond for our dog. She provided pictures and videos during our vacation, and let us know how everything was going. You can truly tell how much she and her husband care. Our dog was sad to leave her and her dogs behind.. shows how much love he received! Highly reccommed!!”
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
About: Growing up on a family farm, I have had the opportunity to care for many different kinds of animals (dogs, horses, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and cows). I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the last 20 years. I have raised 5 puppies and have shown a few of them in local shows. My kids are 10 and 7 and love taking our dogs for walks, hikes and playing with them in our very large back yard. I am home all summer and my school year schedule varies so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and play with them. I have a large fenced back yard and 2 pups friendly pups. I have the ability to take your dog to either a paved or dirt trail for walks or runs. My dogs walk 4 to 5 miles a day but I can definitely make the walk shorter if needed. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I can also crate the dogs. Our dogs love to lounge on our couches.
“The care and attention Priscilla showed Shadow during his stay was exceptional. We received updates and photos and had a very happy dog when we returned from our trip. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Haley was warm, patient, attentive and responsible when she took care of our dogs. That she had a Golden Retriever puppy made my dogs love her even more. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Indy with Joanne and would definitively use her again. Joanne was very good to communicate how things were going and even sent a picture! I have no doubt that Indy was happy and well taken care of which made me happy and more relaxed while away.”
“I highly recommend Dallas for her services! My dog loves(requires) lots of attention and exercise. Dallas was attentive to my information and requests on how to care for my dog. Please give her a shout for all your dog boarding needs!”
