About: 💚 DOGGY DAYCARE: Need a safe, loving place for your pup during the day? I offer doggy daycare with plenty of supervision, outdoor play, snuggles, and rest time throughout the day. Daycare drop-off begins at 6:00 AM, and pick-up must be no later than 5:00 PM, for stays up to 8 hours total. 💚 PERSONALIZED BOARDING: I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low so every dog receives plenty of love, attention, supervision, and care. Whether your pup loves playtime, couch snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I work hard to create a safe, stress-free home environment where they feel like part of the family. 💚 ABOUT ME: I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, our two kids (ages 8 and 11), and our three friendly dogs make our home a lively, loving place! I'm experienced with different breeds and personalities and take the time to get to know each pup individually. 💚 MY HOME: Someone is home most of the time to keep your dog company and ease any nerves. Expect outdoor play, couch snuggles, lots of love, and maybe a surprise math lesson or two! (Don’t worry, no pop quizzes.) Guest dogs are carefully supervised during interactions with our resident dogs and any other boarding guests. 💚 MEET-AND-GREET: I require a meet-and-greet (free of charge!) to make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone — including your pup. Message me anytime to set one up. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 💚 RESTRICTIONS: For insurance reasons, I am unable to accept Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, or wolf hybrids (full-bred or mixed-bred). Thank you for understanding! 💚 DOGGY DAYCARE: Need a safe, loving place for your pup during the day? Daycare drop-off begins at 6:00 AM, and pick-up must be no later than 5:00 PM, for stays up to 8 hours total. 💚 DOG BOARDING: I offer flexible dog boarding, with drop-offs as early as 6:00 AM and pick-ups as late as 10:00 PM. As a homeschooling mom, I’m home with the dogs most of the time. If I do step out for an activity, it’s only for a couple of hours, and I’m happy to give you a heads-up if you'd like to know when your pup will be home relaxing. If your dog prefers or requires crate time for naps or comfort, I’m happy to accommodate! 💚 MEALS: Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Meal times are peaceful and stress-free, with pets separated. We typically do twice-a-day feedings, but I’m happy to adjust if your pup has a different routine! 💚 PLAYTIME: Your dog will have an outdoor paradise to explore! I have a large, secure fenced yard that's perfect for fetch, frisbee fun, or just a good old-fashioned sniffari. I’ve got plenty of toys to keep tails wagging and spirits high. 💚 BEDTIME: Bedtime is whatever your dog needs it to be. Whether your pup prefers their own bed, a cozy crate, or curling up in a favorite spot, I’ll do my best to match their home routine for a comfortable, restful night.

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

“Paula took excellent care of our dog Loki. We were visiting from out of town and need a place for Loki while we visited older relatives. Paula was good with communication and Loki came back all happy. Definitely recommend!”

“I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.”

“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”

Joy M.

“Love Carolyn. She is super easy to get ahold of; always available, professional, and responsible with all the dogs! She has other awesome doggies that play with Izzy and I can tell she has a blast. Carolyn sends the cutest photos; it’s good to see that she’s enjoying herself! I will be having Izzy stay at Carolyn’s more in the future!!”

About: Hi there! My name is Gillian, and I have been taking care of a variety of animals all my life. I've owned dogs, cats, horses, pigs, chickens, and roosters! I love all animals and have an extraordinary talent communicating with them. I have been a dog and cat groomer, and a horse trainer. I am a trainer at heart! I will make sure your furry friend has everything they need, all the exercise and love they could ask for. I exercise my own dog for a minimum of two hours a day. We go to parks, play frisbee, go to the dog park, and go for long hikes! I also have a nice backyard to play in. I know how hard it is to leave your pet, but you can rest assured I will do everything I can to make sure they have a wonderful and stress free stay! Im happy to watch your furry friend anytime. I have a pretty open schedule currently. Please let me know how I can help! Happy to. I am more than happy to come stay at your home or I can bring them to mine! Either way we’re going for walks! Haha

About: When my rather difficult but beloved rescue passed away in November 2024, I realized for the first time how integral dogs are to living a happy and healthy life. In April 2025, I decided it was time to add a new addition to my family, and I now have a 7 month old female German Shepherd, Pilar (who I'm pretty sure is a Golden Retriever trapped in a Shepherd's body). Pilar is the most friendly dog you'll ever meet, and she LOVES to play with other dogs. I am constantly searching for quality day care for her, and I find it's difficult to find someone who is truly reliable and provides safe, clean, and comfortable care. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands and invite pups into my home. When your dog stays with me, she's going to enjoy all of the comforts she's accustomed to at home. Whether that be napping on the couch, playing in the fenced-in backyard, or lounging at my feet while I work from home. I even have a couple of crates if you'd prefer your pup enjoy crated nap time. I've had pets my entire life and have plenty of experience with animals of all types and all personalities, including damaged rescues. I've been through extensive training with Pilar and am happy to apply the skills I've learned when working with your dog, as well. My main goal with providing this service is to create an environment where pups who really enjoying playing with each other can do so safely and comfortably while enjoying the kind of care they're accustomed to at home. Please note that I have a 10 year old cat, and while she knows how to hold her ground with dogs, I cannot accept any pups who don't tolerate cats or who would put her safety at risk. I work from home full-time so pet care is woven into the fabric of my daily routine. I can support hourly potty breaks and am able to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, mealtime, potty time, snuggles, etc. I have a fenced in yard where dogs will be let out for supervised play and potty breaks. Depending on the time of year and your preference, I have a small doggy pool so that dogs can play in the water to release energy. Indoors, dogs are welcome on the couch and on the dog beds. During nap time, I can crate your pup if you prefer, or she can be loose. The only place that's off limits are my two guest bedrooms.

“Highly recommend! My hounds had a wonderful time! Thanks for the great communication and special attention to the unique needs of both pups. Your willingness to work around my schedule was above and beyond.”

“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”

“Jenny watched my Lincoln today and was AMAZING. She was so responsive and easy to work with. She asked enough questions that it was obvious she really cared that my pup was comfortable and happy. She also sent me updates and pictures throughout the day including ones of him snuggled up on the couch so I know he was cozy. We would 100% recommend her.”

About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dog needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.

About: Desdé muy pequeña siempre hubo una mascota en casa, al dia de hoy el apego que tengo a los animales es muy especial, no puedo no emocionarme cuando veo algún ser vivo pasando frente a mis ojos, para mi sería un privilegio que me dieras la confianza de cuidar a tú mascota como si fuera un miembro más de la familia.♡ Actualmente tengo un trabajo independiente, asi que eso me da mucha flexibilidad para adaptarme al horario que tu mascota necesite cuidado, atención, alimento, cariño y muchísimo más. Tengo un apartamento bastantes amplio dónde tu mascota puede estar tranquilamente, tengo algunos premios, juguetes, comida, cosas con las cuales estoy segura no podria aburrirse, me gusta mucho salir a caminar asi que podria ser un gran beneficio si lo que necesitas es que tu mascota salga a despejarse un poco.

“Jessica was wonderful. We left our two dogs with her while we were working a late wedding and she took wonderful care of them, sent us photos, and kept us updated. 100% recommend her”

Kelsey H.

“Svitlana did great with Otto's nervous mom (me). She sent plenty of photos, updates, and reassurance. Otto felt comfortable at the house during his doggie daycare stay. He was relaxed enough to eat, sleep, and play. I rarely have anyone watch Otto, but we'll return if Svitlana is available when needed in the future.”

“Jenny was wonderful with our pup, they clearly had a great time. Addy came home tired and happy!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.

“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”
