“Amazing! This was our first time boarding our big baby and she was amazing with him! Loved receiving the videos and just knowing he was in the best care! Thank you for being so understanding and loving to our boy!”


“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”


“Tucker instantly had a friend before I even walked out the door. Dian was quick to respond, very accommodating, and had our complete trust. Definitely recommended. Five stars.”


“I was so comfortable leaving Chance in the care of Marissa and her family. She communicated with me through our entire stay and sent beautiful pictures of Chance adjusting (and loving) his vacay family. A special thank you to her son, who romped with him daily in the Ohio snow. We are so lucky to have them close as we travel a lot.”


“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”



“Our dog was with Sharon for 16 days. He came home as if everything was normal in life. Sharon is very comfortable with "her" dogs. She seems very relaxed and that is what the dogs respond to.”

“This was our first experience with Erin and we couldn’t be happier. She took great care of Cali, kept us updated throughout the day via text and pictures. She was very flexible in our pick up time due to the circumstances with not knowing exactly when we would be back. Prompt response to our texts. Will be taking Cali back for this weekend.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. We currently have two sweet cavaliers, age 12 and 8.5 who love to be with other dogs. I was an agility competitor for several years.

We have a doggy door to a safe fenced area for potty breaks and outdoor play. Your dogs will bed part of our family while with us.


“Jennifer is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and I felt comfortable leaving our Georgie, knowing he would be well cared for. He was excited to go stay and happy when we picked him up.”

I’m currently on college break and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available with a 3 week notice anytime that works for you. I have a fenced yard for plenty of playtime, and I’ll make sure your pup gets regular walks for exercise. I’ll also clean up after them and ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.

“Allison was fantastic! A real pro situation. Her home and overall scene was very welcoming and pet friendly. We absolutely loved the daily photos and updates, a real comforting plus. We’re attached to our dog Fiona and felt very much at ease leaving her with Allison and her crew. The attention and care that Fiona received made the decision to leave her with Allison an easy one. This will probably open up more travel opportunities knowing we don’t have to constantly think or worry about our girl!”


About: I’ve been raised with dogs as well as cats, in order to teach me responsibility, my grandparents taught me to look after and care for the dogs we had. My friends as well as family members have reached out when they were going out of town because they trust me to care and love their furry member of the family while they couldn’t. I’m currently available any day, full time! I’ll have all the time in the world to love and care for your pups! I can do boarding on the weekends as well as specific days of the week! I have a fenced yard, as well as a clean space. My parents are also dog lovers so not only would your pups get love from me but as well as them. I have a backyard with space for a pupper to run around and a gate so that they cannot venture too far!

About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs.
