“Our puppies had a fantastic time today at daycare. They got to play with some new friends and had a great time. We loved the pictures and updates during their stay as well! We already have an overnight booked 😀”


2. Jeffery B.


“Jeffery was really wonderful. He was very communicative leading up to the stay and then kept us updated with amazing photos. We really loved how tired our dog was afterwards! He must have gotten lots of fun time on their gorgeous property with lots of animals and humans because he was so zonked! Would recommend Jeffery to watch any animal since they seem really well-equipped to look after all kinds of pets. I felt like dash was in great hands and will book again if we’re back in the area. Thank you thank you!”

14. Joely & Carson K.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a small child; constantly rescuing, nurturing and loving animals in need! I have compassion for all animals, big and small, but have a special place for dogs in my heart. If your dog is to board with me I will treat them as if they were my own. I want them to be as comfortable in my home as possible, so that means keeping them on the same schedule they follow at your house, letting them on the furniture and giving them lots of attention and nurturing. I firmly believe all animals deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. I also enjoy exercising - especially running and hiking!! I'm enthusiastic to hike, walk, walk/jog or run with your dog depending on their size, age and health. I love nothing more than starting and ending my day with exercise and having a pup to accompany me. I live with my husband who is an avid dog lover and currently works from home, so he is here almost all hours throughout the day and loves to help out with the dogs. So no worries about your dog not getting enough exercise! Will get plenty here. I am a stay at home mom, so I am always home! Your fur baby will never be left alone here! I am always here throughout the day, so whatever your fur baby needs, I am available for! My son LOVES dogs, so they will fit it amazing here! I treat every dog as if they're my own. They will get treated like kings/queens with us! Whatever your normal schedule is, I will do my best to recreate that for them.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Courtney to take care of our two mini-dachshunds. They are prone to anxiety but Courtney handled them beautifully during both a meet&greet and day care session.

17. Dan B.

“Dan is great! Milo took to him right away! He is gentle, attentive and caring! So lucky we found someone we can trust with our fur baby!”


18. Sara G.

“Sara set our minds at ease with her obvious compassion for our pet. The photos and video she sent us convinced us that Coco had found his new "Favorite Place". Thank you Sara, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”




19. Samantha L.
