“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”



“Thanks for taking great care of Winnie. She is all worn out from her exciting day trip! ;-)”


“Brandon is amazing! He agreed to watch my 3 month old puppy on a 2 day notice while I had to work for 12 hours. Ollie had so much fun playing with other dogs. He sent me videos and pics all day and gave me updates! Highly recommend, Ollie loves it here and he’ll be back!”


“Arya N was great to communicate with and it was a very easy and smooth experience. He sent multiple video and photo updates through the day even working with him and our pup came back happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you again for the care you gave to our pup for the day!!!”


“Wow! I am so glad I found Susan!! My dog is diabetic, needs insulin twice a day, follows a strict diet, and needs eye meds. Susan navigates everything perfectly! She’s watched Buddy several times, with stays ranging from a weekend to a week and a half. You can’t go wrong with Susan (and her husband).”


“Very nice folks, couldn’t have been more confident leaving Mamabear in their care. Very nice home, and their resident dog Thor was just a gentle giant and a sweetheart. They even offered her a swim in the pool! Will definitely use again. Thanks!”


“Kelli has been watching my Australian Shepard for nearly a month now on a weekly basis for doggie daycare. She does a wonderful job playing, walking, and caring for my Ruby. She manages Rubys high energy and chaotic personality. Kelli is a great experienced sitter and I would recommend her to anyone!!”


“She did great, dogs seems tired that is a good sign”


“April was very responsive and Kept me informed thru out Zena’s stay. I think Zena enjoyed her day there-I have already booked 2 more stays with April.”

“Karma took great care of Gaia, and she also has knowledge about canine behavior that helped my dog's well-being! The yard is also very nice and well-kept.”


“Caring, knowledgable and kind! Brutus loved playing with the other pups too!”

“Ben is an amazing dogsitter! We dropped off Bean (female, 45 lbs) in the morning and picked her up in the evening. The best part is Bean loved playing with Ben's dog Kevin, who is the same size as Bean. They wrestled on and off all day and really tired each other out. We were thrilled with the photos and video Ben sent us. Ben has excellent communication skills and was willing to learn all about Bean's quirks before taking her for the day. We will definitely be booking with Ben (and Kevin) again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. They have always been my favorite. Cats came about 10 years ago but animals in general have my heart. I work full time from home. I am here all day so I can provide many potty breaks and plenty of walks. We have a plethora of toys. The animals sleep with us in bed and have free reign of the home. If you have and prefer a crate please provide. We do not have any but I’ve watched many dogs with a crate. I will need scheduled feeding times and amounts and the rest will be pure fun while ur away.

“Zarina saved our last minute plans by being able to take our dog for us for the day! She updated us with pictures and made sure he got plenty of play time! He was TIRED out when he got home, which was great for us to have a tired puppy when we were tired out as well.”


“Deanna was very accommodating as I had to book her last minute. She is quick to reply to texts annd messages and very friendly. Deanna sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel at ease while I was at work. We will definitely be booking with Deanna for our future doggy daycare sessions!”


“Joie did a wonderful job watching Herschel! I used her for doggy daycare while I was at work. He had such a great time with her dog Monty and playing with her kids. She also sent me pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend her!”

About: During the past 10 years I have volunteered with animal rescue, my local pound, and worked at a boarding facility, plus received vet tech education. I am currently focused primarily on providing pet care services and do not have any limitations being able to work at any time or date. Any pet that is allowed outside will be supervised by myself and kept on leash. If I’m caring for a pet at their home I would supervise them in fenced area or keep on leash. I’m committed to caring for your pet with their safety being most important, as I do with my own 2 small dogs.

About: I have over 20 years of animal care, I am a veterinarian technician and I’ve worked in 2 animal shelters. I have worked on many horse farms with various animals including horses, cows, alpacas, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. I love all animals and care for them as if they are my children.

Meeting new animals is by far the best thing in the world to me and I can’t wait to meet your pets! I work part-time at a vet clinic. My husband works nights and is home when I am not home so your pet will not be left alone for a long period of time. We try to adjust to your pets needs as much as we can. Our goal Is to make them feel as if they are home! I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs for your pet to play with, all 3 are very friendly and get along with most everyone. Depending on the pets needs we can adjust to just about anything!

We are more situated and moved into a bigger space and we absolutely would love to add more different personalities and friendly faces into our work and we just opened up for new clients. We're fortunate enough to have enough time and space for everyone's accommodations and needs. We have big backyard with 3 aceres of land. We have stake / tether in the ground with long leashes attached, so they can either relax or they can explore around.
