About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats for over 16 years, and I treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand how important it is to provide them with patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I currently work part time running my own business and I choose when I want to work, so it gives me more time with our pets and children. I have a fenced yard, and we are looking at adding a play area for the dogs to enjoy their time outside. The fenced portion is about 1/2 of an acre.

“Vania was awesome! She accepted my booking last minute was very accommodating and her communication was awesome! I can tell she really loves dogs and did everything to make mine feel comfortable. I will be booking again !”

Vernesha K.

“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of our puppies! Kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent pictures. Most definitely will use her again and refer her to any friends in search of a sitter. Thank you Morgan!”

Amy S.

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”

Pamela D.

“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”

Carrie D.

“So happy with our experience with Ricardo! He treated our lab just like family, and by the photos I could tell just how much Bailey was enjoying himself at the farm! He got ample play and love time. Ricardo was great about keeping us up to date on how Bailey was doing every day! We were very busy day of and chose to have pick up and drop off which was also very easy! Overall, I highly recommend Ricardo and will use him any other time Bailey needs to be boarded!”

Christian G.

About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. Can host only NON-SHEDDING BREEDS, due to family allergies. Must be house broken/trained (to potty outside), with the exception of puppies. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care stairs, I will ensure stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary unless that is your preference. Being on the furniture or bed in our home is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous for any reason such as thunderstorms, loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.

“Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙”
