About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog with her liter and one of her puppies was my best friend until he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. I currently have a sweet loving 9 year old black lab and a fun 3 year old labradoodle. I’m a stay at home mom who homeschools as well and play outside a lot with my children and my dogs. Anything after 6 pm I won’t be able to do considering I will be doing bedtime. I have a fully fenced in lot that has 2 dog houses and grass that is also shaded. I also have a crate and normally I am home and just let my dogs play as much as they want.
“Emily & Donnie accepted a last minute booking for my new puppy & I feel like I hit the jackpot! They were so nice, accommodating, & responsive. I received pictures & videos throughout the day, which made this pup mommy's heart smile ☺️ I couldn't recommend them enough. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Posey and I both had firsts today but I’m sure it won’t be her last with Emily. I appreciate the care and engagement she gave my pup. Also having some bonding time with a new fur friend was great for Posey.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
“Absolutely wonderful from the very first day. My little man can't wait to go to daycare every day! Chantal has a caring and and loving manner with dogs of all ages. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Kari has been so kind and amazing in accommodating our very anxious dog and working with us to ease her in to feeling comfortable being away from home! We’re so thankful we found her and highly recommend her!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on animal experience, I've built a life around caring for pets of all kinds - and it shows the moment your fur baby walks through my door. I currently share my property with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so your pet will be welcomed into a real animal home - complete with a couple acres to roam and a fully fenced yard. This isn't an apartment sit; this is country living for your pet. I'm an approved foster with two local rescue organizations and have been actively fostering for 7+ years across multiple groups. That experience means I'm highly skilled at managing pack dynamics, introducing new animals smoothly, and keeping every pet calm, safe, and comfortable - even in a full house. I've personally housebroken and trained all of my own animals, and I'm happy to reinforce any commands or routines your pet already knows. I'm also fully comfortable administering medications and adapting care for pets with special needs - just let me know what your pet requires and I'll make it work. Your pet isn't just a booking to me. They're a guest in a home where animals truly come first. Animal care isn't something I fit into my day - it IS my day. Because I work from home, I'm on the property and present with the animals throughout the day, every day. My routine naturally revolves around morning and evening feeding rounds for my own cats, dogs, and horses, which means your pet slots right into an already structured, consistent care schedule - not an afterthought squeezed between other commitments. During the day your pet will have regular check-ins, outdoor time in a fenced yard, and plenty of company - both human and animal. If your dog needs an extra walk, or your pet needs medication administered on a specific schedule, I'm here and available to make that happen. For me, adding a boarding guest isn't a disruption - it's just one more animal who gets to experience a home where care and routine are already deeply built in. When your pet comes to my home, they're stepping into a fully functioning animal household. From the moment they arrive, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow your pet's lead and never force interaction with my own animals until everyone is comfortable. With 7+ years of fostering experience, introductions and pack dynamics are something I handle carefully and confidently. Your dog will have the opportunity to socialize and play with my four friendly dogs (after appropriate intros are made) - making their stay feel less like boarding and more like a playdate. For social dogs, it's honestly the highlight of the visit! During their stay, pets can expect: - Structured feeding times aligned with your pet's normal schedule and diet - Outdoor time in our securely fenced yard and rural acreage throughout the day - Plenty of human interaction since I work from home and am present all day - Medications or special care administered exactly as instructed - Reinforcement of existing commands and routines so nothing slips while you're away I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My home is their home - and around here, animals always come first.
“This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!”
“Let me say that I cannot thank Falen enough for her care of Sassy. She was gracious when my work threw me a curveball and changed my hours. She sent positive messages and pictures. Sassy came home calm and tired. We are very grateful for her service and will definitely contact her again for sitting services.”
About: I love animals of all kinds and enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I have experience watching neighbors', friends', and family members' furry companions, and I understand how important it is to provide them with loving, reliable care. Whether it's going for walks, playing at the dog park, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'll make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am available Monday threw Sunday at any time after 8am. If it’s a emergency, I will take your fur baby before 8am. I look forward to meeting your fur baby. All dogs will be on a leash when I take them out to use the bathroom. I do not have a fenced in backyard. I only crate animals if you request that and you provide your own crate. Other wise I allow all animals to roam the house freely.
“Jennifer was great with our 4.5 month old puppy. She took him outside enough that there were no accidents. Her dog and our puppy played endlessly. He slept great at night. This was his first time away. She was extremely flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

About: I have always had a great love for animals. Since I was a child with my first rabbit, I have helped care for family, friends and neighbors pets. Through the years I have had several dogs and cats. I currently own a farm with donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens. Here at the daycare, I have my own dogs, guiena pigs, hedgehogs, chinchilla and a turtle. I left the world of people. After caring for animals as a passion, I decided that I wanted to make a career out of it. I left the world of customer service so that I could focus on spending all of my time doing daycare and Boarding. My facility is open Monday thru Friday from 7am to 6pm. During those hours we operate daycare, intake and release for boarding and grooming. After hours we are here for feeding, walking, playing. I own and operate a boarding and daycare center for pets. I can care for and board any size animal from a goldfish to a horse. I live on site so your pets are looked after 24 hours a day. We have common areas where pets can interact if you wish, as well as private kennels. All pets are walked atleast 5 times per day in our fenced in back yard on or off leash. They have plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather permits. All areas of the building, including kennels are climate controlled. We also provide grooming services if you are intrested in having your et groomed during their stay. We provide food but you may also bring your own as well. We will feed on your schedule.

“Miso loves to stay with Ariane and Olive! She has a nice and clean space. Miso always came home tired but happy as they had good time playing together. Miso was in her heat and Ariane was so nice that she accommodated my requests to make sure Miso is healthy and we're not having any unintended puppies! Ariane sent photos everyday and let you know how your doggie did everyday. She's a great sitter and I've already had Miso's daycare booked with her for next week!”
