“We were very pleased with Bella's stay with Craig and Julie. Bella loved the home immediately and enjoyed running up and down their stairs. We were gone for 9 days and Craig sent us pictures and updates on how Bella was getting on. We greatly appreciated the extra attention he gave to her and gave to us. We felt secure and peace knowing she was well cared for. We plan to be in the area again next year and plan to have3 Bella stay her again. We highly recommend this family.”
“This was my first experience with Jimena and I have to say I give her 10/10. My shy doggy had so much fun with her and the other dogs -- he was not bored at all since he could play all day long if he wanted. I will definitely bring my Beauregard back here again. The facility for the dogs is spotless and very well taken care of. We did not have to worry about him at all and we could tune into Facebook to watch videos of the dogs. Jimena also sent us some private videos and we were very grateful that she did that. She is very kind and I would trust her with my baby any time. I know BR is looking forward to a return stay so he can play! Thank you very much!!”
“Grady had a great weekend with Hunter and her family. She sent updates and pictures regularly which definitely put us at ease knowing Grady was being well cared for. We highly recommend Hunter and I know Grady would agree!”
“She is amazing. She knows just what do to make the dogs comfortable. I really like that her home is a kennel free environment and that the dogs can play their hearts out.”
“Excellent care. Fran went above and beyond caring for our dog. He had tummie issues while we were gone and Fran even cooked special food for him and fixed the problem. Her communication was very informative the entire time. Fran even went to our vet for ear drops. Wow! We could not have found a better sitter than her. A real GEM!!!!”
About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!
“Mandi is a very nice person and we enjoyed meeting her with our dog. She took good care of our little westie. She has a fence yard and we felt that our dog was very safe at her home. We highly recommend her.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy! Carola took such great care of Bowie while I was away for a few days. Would definitely recommend her services to a friend :)”
“Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.”
“Our dogs had the best stay with Jill and her family. We traveled from out of town into the mountains for a family trip and were happy to know our dogs were somewhere safe. Jill sent lots of photos and it was evident the pups had a blast in her backyard! We will certainly bring the dogs back if we’re up in that way again!”
“You know the expression "Heaven help us" ... well, she came through again as we had a sudden need for dog care. Our 2 dogs love her and that was apparent when we dropped them off (we were former clients). They had a good visit once again and we are thankful we can rely on her.”
About: We have been boarding dogs in our home for almost 2 years. We fostered dogs before that, and we have owned dogs our entire lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works full time from home, so your furry best friend will be in good company while you're gone. We strive to make your dogs stay as smooth as possible with a consistent routine and ample play time. We have 2 dogs that have their own space, but like playing with others if that's something your dog would be interested in. Dogs in our care have free range of the main living area in our home. They are allowed on the couch. We crate the dog(s) when no one is home and at night for bed time. We try to keep feeding schedules the same as yours and we have a fenced in lot. Dogs are let out very frequently and given lots of play time. Our house is clean and safe. The crates are sanitized between dogs. All dogs in our care must be good with children, crate trained, and good with other dogs.
“Valerie was great with Nala - as a young lab she can take a lot of energy and Valerie was up for the challenge and Nala was quite at home with her. I definitely will use her again.”
“Nikita (and Joe!) could not have been nicer! What a godsend that we were able to find her to care for our daughter’s dog, Loo, over Thanksgiving! Loo had a great time and was well taken care of. We will definitely give her a call next time we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Suzanne was amazing! After talking to her about our dogs and their needs, I knew 100% that she was the right person. We have a senior dog (14 years old) and a 6 year old with an unfortunate past and has many triggers. Both of them took to her right away as she is such a warm, kind person - I immediately felt comfortable leaving them with her. She took them on beautiful hikes and sent some pictures to us which was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Suzanne!”
About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.
About: Grew up in Florida around a lot of wildlife. Owned dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes fish etc. I love and respect all animals. I can sit in your home or mine. I didn't have fenced yard but acres of private land and can take out in leash. Available 24/7 if needed. I have 4 year old Italian Greyhound retired service dog who gets along with everyone and everything... No worries there. Please make sure your pet is NOT AGGRESSIVE. I am retired therefore my schedule is very flexible. I can stay during the day, night or even overnight if I am needed at that location. I live in condo and cannot board animals. I am willing to stay in clients homes with or without my dog being with me there

Chesnut S.
“Chesnut is a very reliable, conscientious young lady who loves animals but has not been in a position to have one of her own. She would be attentive to your pet's needs and go above and beyond what you ask of her in caring for your pet. She is someone you can depend on to do what you need her to do and to love on your pet in your absence. She has cared for her brother's dog on several occasions and has had cats of her own when she lived at home. She will notice if something is different about your pet, especially if she has had time to get to know the animal, and will let you know if she thinks something is not "right". I'd trust Chesnut with a pet.”
Megan S.
“I have known Megan and her family all her life. She has always been a loving dog mother. She has also owned cats, ferrets, gerbils, and birds at different times. I have been Pet Nanny to fly Megan's animals. She takes the utmost care of her own pets. I recommend her to do care for any animal you have.”
