“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!”
“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.”
“Alyssa was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! I have an anxious pup that doesn’t like being left alone and she ensured he was comfortable during his whole stay. She sent me plenty of updates with pictures and videos and made me feel comfortable the whole stay. She treated Bandit like one of her own and he had a great time playing, cuddling, and sleeping with her! She even took him for a car ride with a pup cup for a treat. Highly recommend!”
“Stewart was able to accommodate us last minute for a few hours of doggie daycare while we met up with old high school friends in Ottuma. Stewart and his dog, Sophie were both great. Stewart sent pictures and had a large fenced back yard and a lot of toys for Maddie to play with. Callie felt at home and cuddles on Stewart with Sophie while Maddie napped among the toys LOL. THANK YOU Stewart for making us feel comfortable and taking great care of our babies.”
“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.”
“Wonderful 1st Time Experience!!! Joanne was personable and we felt comfortable leaving Buster for a long weekend while we headed out of state. She was responsive and we hope to use her again very soon!! Thanks Joanne!!”
“Ali was great. Very responsive to questions prior to the reservation, and flexible on drop off and pick up. Our dogs did great and didn’t seem to have any problems getting along with Ali’s pets.”
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: 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!
“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.
About: I have owned, bathed, walked, and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Our pets are such a big part of our family and I hope you can trust me with your sweet babies while you’re away! I’ve been a stay at home mom for 5 years and have tons of time on my hands to care for some sweet furry friends! I’d be happy to care for your sweet furry friends just about anytime during the year! We live on a farm with TONS of space for exercise! And we just built a new home with plenty of space inside for our new furry friends to come visit and stay with us! Inside our home we have a sweet miniature schnauzer! She is great with other dogs but can also be separated from other dogs if needed 🥰 Our dog, Millie is up to date on all shots/immunizations!
About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

Tammy & Ken F.
“I have had two high maintenance and loveable huskies which made me very concerned about leaving them with a less experienced animal care provider. After seeing Tammy love and care for her own dogs (a variety inclyding huskies) I knew she was the right choice for us. I was very happy that ahe kept me updated with photos of them and their activities each day. When I returned to get them they were exhausted from all the play and I could tell my dogs lived being there. We now call her place our dog vacation resort. I still have a husky and now a small sichon. I have full trust that while I am on my 10 day vacation, my dogs will be safe, loved, we'll cater for and socialized.”
