“Once again Steve took care of our fur baby. Truffles was so happy to go back to Steve’s he didn’t even turn around to look at us. He walked right in Steve’s house like he lived there. We will continue to reach out to Steve to watch our baby boy.”
“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.”
“Daina was awesome! I booked last minute because of plans that came up and she was super quick to respond and very communicative. My dog was so excited to stay with her when I dropped him off, and when I picked him up he was bummed all day that he had to leave. Thank you Daina.”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“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! ?”
“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!”
“Olive just loves staying with Calissa. Highly recommend! This was are second time leaving olive with Calissa and she is most definitely our #1 choice when we need a overnight sitter”
“Once again, Regan was fantastic! I was gone over 15 days and I knew Daisy would be well taken care of. Regan kept me updated daily on how Daisy was doing and sent me plenty of photos to see she was doing great! I will always try to use Regan when I leave town.”
“The best experience we’ve had! We will most definitely be contacting Zoe the next time we need a sitter. She was kind, had a clean home, wasn’t over run with dogs. She’s touched base with us. Most importantly our puppers returned home happy and healthy. Our last trip he went to a kennel and he wasn’t the same dog when we picked him up, sickly, irritable, off for a full week after coming home. After his visit with Zoe he was his normal happy self.”
“Cheri was great with our senior dog, Peaches. We were traveling and needed to find a sitter close to our daughters house. So thankful we found Cheri. She took wonderful care of Peaches and was very responsive and flexible with the schedule. If we need a sitter again when in the area, we will definitely contact her again. Thank you!!!”
“Thanks so much for a great stay! Our plans changed last minute and we needed someone to watch our 6 month old Shepherd mix. Natalia was so accommodating and helpful, and made our dog feel very welcome.”
“Tamber was wonderful, so patient and kind. She provided daily photos, videos and updates! So thankful for she was available to care for Bo. I would highly recommend Tamber!”
“She took very good care of my pets. Kept me updated and sent many pics. Definitely recommend her for anyone that’s looking for someone to take care of their pets. Will book her again in future”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Addy had a fantastic time during her stay! She’s very shy and felt completely comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. She came back exhausted from playing in the yard all day. I’m so appreciative of their wonderful care!”
“Great communication! We loved getting pictures of our dog while we were away. We had no doubt that Elizabeth and her family were taking good care of Lucy. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs from the age of 5, so I am no stranger to talking car of them. During the last 8 years, I have periodically taken care of dogs for friends and family. As well as having my own dog for the last 6 years. I work from home most days so I have flexibility to be able to make drop in visits to care for your pet’s needs. Or I am able to care for your pet’s at my house with almost all day attention. For boarding, I do ask that drop off and pick up is between 10:00 and 6:00pm. In my home your dog will have access to inside and outside as well as being in the company of my own dog, Henry. My dog can be crated, as well as yours if that is requested.
“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! 🙏🏻”

Melanie and Sam were excellent hosts. They were very professional during the Meet and Greet and I immediately know I could trust them with our dogs. They sent regular photos and were good communicators. Our dogs seemed comfortable and happy staying with them and I would happily use their services again.
We had to find some one to watch our dog wile we gone on a long trip. Emily took amazing care of our dog and sent us wonderful pictures. Our dog got along really well with her dog and I think he is a little bit depressed now that he is an only child again. Highly recommend Emily. She is completely responsible and responsive. She genuinely loves dogs and is an amazing dog sitter!
I booked on short notice for the week of Christmas, and she gladly accepted. I knew almost immediately I had made a good choice upon initial meeting, and the multiple reports and photos daily confirmed my Cooper was in great hands. Absolutely no complaints. Will use Ragen again if ever needed.
