“I started dropping my dog off at Jennifer’s for daycare on weekdays because of work; honestly, it’s been the best decision. I get photos throughout the day, and my baby always looks like they’re having the most fun. Jennifer is someone I truly trust with my dog. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pup is safe, happy, and loved while I’m at work.”


“Honey had a great visit at Jeslynn's house. Jeslynn was super accommodating with Honey's disability and sent pictures and videos throughout the day. I would happily recommend others to book with Jeslynn!”


“Laurel was available last minute when I needed her and im so thankful for that. My puppy, Junie, can be a handful at her young age and with being such a mix of active breeds and she was absolutely perfect to keep Junie for me for the week while i worked. She kept her active and safe. Junie loved spending the days with her and slept so good at night. 10/10!”


“There are not enough stars to represent how highly I think of Sherria! She goes above and beyond for her furry clients and their families! You and your pet will be glad you called!”

“Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Keith were wonderful! Mrs. Barbara’s training skills were impressive, and she created a very nice space for Tokyo and Indy, introducing them little by little. Tokyo had a great time, and I highly recommend them! 🐶 ❤️”


About: I've owned several dogs over the years, and they're all special! I have experience with older dogs and didn't adopt my own until I was home full time in retirement. Who likes being alone? My doggy routine involves at least one 45 minute walk in the morning, and playtimes during the day. Your dog will be treated just like mine, and will be on the couch, in my lap and on the bed. The animals (I also have two cats) have the run of the house except when I'm out for exercise class, etc and then I do crate them until I return. I'm retired and have the time and flexibility to ensure your dog's needs are met....and that he/she is happy and not stressed. I only book one dog at a time because my intent is to treat your dog as I do my own....plenty of attention and affection, outside time as needed or wanted, and at least one long walk a day. I have a fenced yard and let my own dog out frequently during the day. Jacky is a 14 pound schnauzer mix who gets along with all people and most dogs....he loves to play and acts much younger than his age. My cats pay no attention to my dog and are adept at jumping up on something high if they feel the need to avoid anything (vacuum lol). I have experience giving shots, meds, hand feeding....older dogs sometimes need more time and assistance.

“Great first experience with Megan! I know my little girl played her heart out and got all the belly rubs she could handle. Very loving and caring family - I'm sure we'll be back for day care again.”


“Kayla was fantastic with my pup Myra during her stay for daycare. Myra got to play with Kayla’s pups, sit outside and enjoy the weather, and even did some fun training for treats. She kept in touch during the day and took some great pictures so I could see what Myra’s day looked like. I would absolutely recommend using her services, and if we weren’t moving we would totally use her again!”


“Ashkan watched my two dogs for about five hours while I went to a wedding. He was very professional and his dogs are beautiful and friendly. He has a great large fenced in backyard and I could tell he has a lot of experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him. 100% a great experience.”


“Wonderful couple, my puppy came home in perfect shape. Exited from all the fun and exhausted from ask socializing. Great start to the week! Thank you as always!”


“Rachel and her mother was amazing! They kept me up to date with Athena's care, and sent me pictures throughout the day. It says a lot when your puppy doesn't want to go home when you arepicking her up. Lol... It means she was well taken care of. Thank you so much Ladies!! I appreciate it. You have gained a returning customer”


“What a delightful day for our sweet girl. Amanda communicated with us from planning to arrival and while we were away. She sent many photos and we could see Rosie was having a PERFECTLY PAWSOME DAY! Thank you so very much Amanda. Tom, Connie, & Rosie”
