“Teddy played all day with Leslie. She sent many pictures and videos for updates. She checked off the list of Teddy's needs and followed up on all of them. We could tell that she was totally dedicated to Teddy for the entire day! Teddy transitioned home perfectly. Thank You, Leslie!”
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
About: We have lots of years of experience caring for dogs. Our family loves playing and walking our fur baby River. We would love to care for other dogs and ensure they get lots of love! Both my husband and I work from home. As a result, we have the time to ensure your fur baby gets lots of attention and walks. River, our black lab is the baby of our family! She is the sweetest! She loves to play and go for walks. River loves her treats and playing with other friends.
“Michelle and her husband were great. Teddy immediately felt calm when he met them. Michelle’s experience with animals was evident. Teddy had a great time and we highly recommend Michelle!!!”

“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have also fostered while in college, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I think what sets me apart is that I’m very reliable and organized — I take routines seriously and understand that pets need consistency. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks and staying busy, I’m a great fit. At the same time, I’m patient and calm with more anxious or slower-paced dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, which means your dog will receive consistent attention, regular walks, and proper feeding on time. I understand how important routine and structure are for pets, and I take that seriously. Safety is really important to me. I’m very mindful about secure leashing, keeping doors closed, and supervising at all times. My home is clean and safe, and I make sure dogs are comfortable and never left unattended in risky situations. I want you to feel completely confident leaving your dog with me.
“Larissa is so gentle and kind with my puppy and she was very responsible with my high energy furr-baby. I'm so glad I found her and I would definitely recommend her for reliable and compassionate dog care.”

“Amy and her daughters were so great with our energetic puppy!! She got all her energy out in the few hours they were together. They went to the dog park, and let our puppy go to town in their pool (which is her happy place)!! Will 200% be scheduling a bunch more play dates!”
