Kacey loves Brittany and her family. He gets so excited every time we drive to her house and is always worn out after playing all day when we pick him up!

Always the greatest feeling to leave Kayla or Winston with Stephanie, who absolutely loves her. When both dogs are dragging you to the front door to get inside it’s always such a good feeling.

About: I offer a fun but structured environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. I have lifelong experience with taking care of and training dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds. As a stay-at-home mom of two young kids and a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am home mostly all day, and ready to cater to whatever schedule your pup might already be used to. When your pup is here, they will become part of the furry family. I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.

Paige was amazing. She helped me out with pet care when I was in town for a conference and my dog came home happy and satisfied from a long day of play and attention. She was so communicative and helpful and my pup had a great time with her. She clearly has a love for taking care of animals and I would definitely book her again!

I have 2 years of experience, a secure fenced yard for outdoor playtime, and can easily take your pet on long walks if needed.

About: I am available for drop ins over the holidays! I have spent my entire life around animals! I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and horses, as well as some experience with small pets, including rabbits, ferrets, and aquarium animals. I am certified in Cat & Dog first aid through the Red Cross, and I have previously worked full-time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of experience with all different types of dogs. I am also comfortable administering oral and topical medications, and have limited experience with injected medications. My schedule tends to be very flexible; however, I appreciate requests made well in advance. Please be aware that on a typical day I am ONLY available in the mornings and evenings, not at midday. I have experience taking care of many anxious pets, so I always work hard to make sure that each animal is as comfortable and happy as they can be! During walks, that means sniffing if they want to sniff and running if they want to run. I do not interact with other dogs or people on walks, no matter the friendliness/reactivity level of your dog, to keep yours as safe as possible.

Allison was fantastic! Ozzie adored her and her dog, and by the third day when I told him he was going to see her he got excited. She kept me updated with lots of photos and was also very understanding of my shifting drop-off and pick-up hours due to the nature of the daytime event I was working. I will definitely be sending Ozzie to stay with her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone.

We just adopted our dog about a week ago and needed doggy daycare so we could be out of town for a day. We weren’t sure about leaving Sid for so long because he was still adjusting to us and our home. Our concerns were needless because Greg did a great job with Sid. We plan to book with Greg next time we need day care for Sid. Thank you, Greg.

This daycare has been great for my super fearful rescue who came from a puppy mill/hoarding situation so she has no idea how to be a dog. They have been SO patient with her and having somewhere affordable she can go while I work 12 hour shifts has been such a relief I can't even verbalize the magnitude of difference it has created in our lives. I'm telling anyone and everyone who will listen about this place. Cannot recommend enough.

Ron did a great job accommodating my 10 month old standard poodle who can have a lot of energy at times. The other two dogs that we're also staying for day care on this day were a great match for Link. It is obvious that Ron loves the company of dogs and I plan on having Link visit him for daycare each week! Link came home happy, well cared for, and calm.

This was the first time I had used Kaitlin for a doggy daycare visit for my pup Addie. Kaitlin took great care to re-introduce Addie to her puppy and I really appreciated that. Kaitlin kept me updated during the day. And Addie settled right in and seemed right at home. Will definitely use Kaitlin again. Mary Ann Anderson

About: I have had both dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Of all ages and sizes. I have watched others pets while they went on vacation. I can provide pretty much all care you require. I work from home so I will be there to care for your pets all day. If I have to run out for an errand my fiancé will be home so your pet will almost always have someone with them. I am willing to let dogs out as much as they need, play with them in our back yard, take walks, and snuggle them at night if your pet desires. We have our own dog who likes all of these things as well.

Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always just come naturally to me. I started walking my neighbor’s dog when I was 13 and have loved helping pets (and their people!) ever since. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can often accommodate last-minute bookings or changing plans. Being on a flexible routine also allows me to spend real, quality time with the pets I care for — not just quick check-ins. I love that I can give them my full attention and keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Services I Offer I offer drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting — all with plenty of love, attention, and updates along the way! 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Perfect for quick potty breaks, meals, or a little playtime while you’re out. I make sure your pet gets care, company, and a little fun — not just a quick in-and-out visit. 🏡 Boarding: When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. We keep their routine consistent, make sure they feel comfortable, and give them all the affection they’d get at home (plus extra snuggles if they want them!). I also have two pups of my own that get along really well with other fur babies. 🛋️ House Sitting: If your pet prefers to stay in their own home, I can stay overnight or as needed to keep them happy and relaxed. I’ll take care of feeding, walks, meds, and light home care so you can travel worry-free. My goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your furry family the love and attention they deserve.
