“Ellen and John stepped up and helped me out with my boy Havi when I needed boarding at the last minute. They were quick to respond and very accommodating even at the last minute! They stayed in communication with me throughout and took such great care of Havi as he sometimes needs extra attention. I am beyond grateful for Ellen and John and the service and care they provided! Highly recommend and will be using them again in the future!”
“Alara is a sweetheart! Our Daisy is very docile and Alara's gentle nature was exactly what Daisy needed. Alara was great about sending us updates as well As a couple of photos. This allowed for us to feel good about leaving our girl with Alara. We were able to enjoy our time away without having to worry about Daisy having great care while we were away. We will definitely be repeat customers with Alara.”
“Daniel was great! He was very communicative and sent regular photos to let us know how Maya was doing. Maya was clearly well cared for. Will definitely use him again.”
“Kasia was very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable about the behavioral issues my Lucy has. She was very accommodating to my schedule and sent lots of photos and videos of Lucy having fun!”
“Great family!! Jackson loved staying with them! Amy sent pictures multiple times a day, kept in contact & even shared rotisserie chicken with him! 😂 They have a nice enclosed yard!! Would definitely use this family again!!”
“My Bella and I absolutely love Kimberly. It is so comforting that when we get to Kimberly's, Bella runs over and goes right into her home. Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”
“We left Louie, our 10 year old toy poodle, with Pamela and her husband for 3 weeks. Louie needed to receive an assortment of medications throughout the day. Pamela was terrific! She took great care of Louie. She very clearly cares a lot of about pets and showed Louie a lot of love and attention. Her setting is ideal, located in the country surrounded by farmland. She has no pets of her own and only cares for one pet at a time. She sent us a lot of photos, almost every day, and told us how Louie was doing. We would definitely leave Louie with her again.”
“Lourdes and her family always take such wonderful care of Fergus. She provides amazing communication with pictures and videos throughout the day. We always feel secure knowing he is happy, safe and loved. Thank you, Lourdes!”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter! She was responsive and asked a lot of questions to ensure she gave Yeti the best care. He had a blast running around her backyard and playing with everyone. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Kathleen and Brian were fantastic!! They provided daily updates on how my dog was doing. They really care about the dogs they are watching and it is very evident. If I need my dog to be watched again I will gladly be requesting their services.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’m retired so I have time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’ve worked with deaf dogs and administered meds for both young and older pets. All in all my theory is that pets just make one’s life all the better they are truly gifts to us. I am retired so I have a lot of flexibility to stay with your pet or have your pet with us in our home or walk your dog when needed. I have a fenced yard and two sweet dogs who get the run of the house along with your dog, including the furniture. It’s a happy home here.
“Amy did a great job taking care of our dog. I felt very comfortable working with her and I could tell she cared about animals and would treat our dog with love. I hope to have her watch out dog again in the future.”
“When we came to pick up Lady she was very calm and after greeting us she casually walked around the property. She seemed quite comfortable and rolled in the grass which is quite normal for her. A couple geese walked past her and she didn’t even give them a nod. Communication with Jeffery is excellent and we will definitely use his location again. It’s nice to have a place where our Lady isn’t so confined.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Paige. She took great care of our dog, Shadow, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Shadow had a blast playing with Paige's dog, Mazie, and came home happy and tired. We highly recommend Paige and will definitely be using her again!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Samantha and her partner are just amazing! Took care of Kiwi’s very complex medical needs and even made sure she was comfortable walking with her arthritis by layout out rugs for her to walk on she she doesn’t slip. She even made her own chart to keep track of kiwis meds to make sure she never missed a dose. She’s amazing and will be our go to as long as we live in the area! Cant recommend enough!”
