“We can't speak highly enough of our dogs' experience with Michelle and Luke's family. We booked our two dachshunds with their family for a week vacation. Our dogs had very little experience around young children and we had concerns this may be a challenge. We initially met with Michelle online and she was kind enough to explain her home and property layout, discuss any questions we had. During drop off, we met with Michelle and spent some time getting to know her and the property, which are both well suited to ensuring her doggie guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Our dogs were obviously excited and carrying on during drop off, barking at anything that moved. Michelle assured us everything would be ok and explained how her and the family would work with our dogs over the next several days. During vacation, we had great daily interaction and Michelle provided photos and feedback of how our dogs were progressing and interacting with the children. This daily interaction made a huge impact on how our vacation went, none of the typical worry about the dogs being ok. By the time we returned from vacation to pick up our dogs, they were relaxed, calm and very happy around the children. We let Michelle know she is now known as the "Dog Whisperer" :). Typically, upon return home, our dogs are very stressed out from boarding and take a few days to get back into routine. This time was completely different - both dogs came home relaxed, happy and calm. The girls even made a special card for both dogs which is super cute. Can't thank Michelle and her family enough for a wonderful experience, our dogs can't wait to go back and spend time again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for years now I am also very good and ready dogs and cats body language since I have been around them my whole life i would love to spend my free time caring for your fur child I promise you I will love your pet as much as you do I am available during the week after 5 and Sunday and Monday I'm available all day!! I would prefer to visit my clients dog in there own home that way the dog or cat is not in a new environment cats can be weird to changes so bring them to a new place can be scary for them if the client wishes to bring them to my house I have a 1 year old cavapoo who just wants to make friends and would love it she has a bunch of toys they can play with and I do have a lead that I can use to let them outside if they need to use the bathroom
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”

“Absolutely loved Stephanie and Stanley! What a relief to leave our baby in a loving home for a few days while we attended a conference at Oglebay Resort and extended our stay to spend time with our kids and grandson from out of state for Christmas. Stephanie was wonderful about following Buddy’s normal routine and sending me photos and updates, so I’d know how well he was doing. Can’t thank her enough. Just wish she lived near me. Happy Birthday, Stanley!”

“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”

“We had a great experience and will definitely be boarding again!! Easy pick up and drop off, great communication with daily picture updates, and our pup LOVED the doggie door!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”


About: 30 yrs experience in caring, handling and training pets. I give all clients my personalized attention, flexible scheduling, and a genuine love for pets of all kinds I have pets I take care of daily and this would be just like taking care of my own. This would be an easy business to do and run. Dogs have been my life since I was a child and I have many yrs experience in training them as well. I walk all the pets daily and sometimes more than a few times, I feed them all, I give them plenty of play time and they will get to know the treat jar very well.

“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”

“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m a work-from-home human and proud fur-kiddo mom with many years of pet-sitting experience for friends and family. Size, breed, or number of pets is never an issue— I have experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m comfortable providing care for pets with special needs, including administering medications and treatments as needed. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. We all want our pets to be cared for the same way we care for them, and that’s exactly what I strive to do! I work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”

Breonna was a great sitter for my dog, Hank, who can be a handful sometimes. She was willing to meet me beforehand to make sure that it was a good match, and she sent pictures and a video while I was away so that I knew Hank was doing well. Not everyone can manage a rambunctious Treeing Walker Coonhound, but Breonna did extremely well, on top of offering an affordable price. If I have to go away again, I will definitely be contacting her. Highly recommend.
