“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”


“Chili is anxious when not in his usual surroundings and routines but I could tell from his pictures that he was settling in day by day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay. Thank you!!”



“My pup loves going to stay with Dawn! She’s so sweet and takes the best care of him! She sends photos of him throughout his stay, too, so I know he’s having a good time! Would always recommend! (:”


“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”


“Alex was so kind, helpful, and took amazing care of my pups. She sent constant pupdates with pics and really eased a worried dog mom’s mind :) will definitely be using her services again!”


“Amy was so good with Presley! She took care of her just as we would at home. She was so good as staying on top of Presley’s pills too. Would definitely choose Amy again to watch our Presley!!”


About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is a 7 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing). I work fully remote from home so I am around all the time to ensure your pets get what they need - they won’t want for anything! I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed. I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups.

“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs. ”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Second stay just as amazing as the first! This was our dog’s second time boarding here, and it was just as wonderful as the first — if not better! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. Richard and Sara clearly care so much about the dogs and treats them like family. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised, and it was clear she felt totally comfortable there. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she got lots of attention, playtime, and affection during her stay. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our dog is truly cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again — and we know our dog would be thrilled to go back too!”



“She was very patient with my Bella and kept in contact with me the whole time. We were nervous because this was our babies first boarding she kept us informed. We could really tell Tamisha really cares about every dog.”


“We left our high anxiety, high energy, German Shepherd, puppy with SASHA for five days. We were very nervous about this, he is a difficult dog. But she was absolutely wonderful with him! She sent us updates, photos videos. Every day, she worked with him extensively, Exercised him every day, and even did a little bit of agility training. She is extremely knowledgeable about many breeds of dogs. She’s also very tough, and was able to keep him in line, he was not able to exert his dominance over her and get his way. And we are thrilled about that. 10 out of 10. We will definitely book her again.”


“Cindy was great with Winston! She kept me updated through out his entire stay. She took very good care of him, very satisfied. I will book with Cindy again soon.”


“Khalyn did a wonderful job! Her two pups were equally awesome. My Corso/ Shepherd was well taken care of. Received updates with photos and videos throughout his stay. Would love to book again. Thanks Khalyn!”


“Brynn took such great care of my senior dog and was very responsive and proactive throughout his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will book again with Brynn in the future!”


“Ms. Michelle was really nice and friendly. She sent me pictures and video from time to time of how my dog was doing and also took my dog on a walk. I will definitely book her again if i need help with my dog. I would recommend for your little fur babies also!!!”


“Communication was great and I got daily updates. Lucy felt comfortable enough to eat while I was away (she usually goes on a hunger strike) and Amy was flexible with our pickup time. Thank you for taking great care of my 😇”


“Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣”

Mary M.
“Mary has taken care of my dogs since she was a little girl. She is very responsible about making sure they get fed on time, exercised every day and trained to be well mannered dogs. Mary also loves to just cuddle and play with them. One of the things I like most about Mary taking care of my dogs is that she is always happy to see them and is very patient with them. I would recommend Mary as a dog walker for anyone who loves their dog and wants a caring responsible person to exercise them. ”
