Jennifer and her husband are fantastic with my two puppies! I have left my babies with them twice now and will continue to use them. They even took them on a walk at the park and let them play in the water. I love that update daily with pictures and tell me how they are doing. I highly recommend them!

Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!

Absolutely great stay for my Labrador retriever Jake. Stephanie was very easy to work with and I can tell Jake had a good time and was very well taken care of. I will definitely be letting Jake stay there again anytime we’re out of town.

Thank you Vickie and Charlie for taking such good care of Trixie. We appreciated the pictures you sent us of Trixie while we were gone. You were always quick to respond and the pictures put us at ease. Trixie looked good and happy. We would not hesitate to have her stay with you again. Dianna and Jerry

This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.

Keturah was so great with my overly excited pug, her family and fur babies welcomed him like he was one of their own, I was nervous leaving him for nearly a week, and I have never used rover before, but being last minute, they were very helpful and accommodating, I even had to leave him for one extra night, and Keturah assured me it was no problem to watch him, what a life saver! Bruno had so much fun and got the love he needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future to take loving care of my Bruno.

Zoe was great with my pup!! I was very anxious with this being the first time I left him with someone! I requested to meet her before at her home and she graciously invited me right over! Answered all my questions and sent pictures and videoed of “cash” living his best life! I highly recommend Zoe and her family for all your boarding needs! I will definitely utilize her services in the future and recommend her to friends and family!

Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!

About: Caring for two dogs - Owain (6 years) and Lana (1 Year) feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and medication when needed. Work from home: Dogs are always supervised, ensuring safety and attention. Skills: Responsability, patience, and understanding of animal behavior. Morning: Walk Owain and Lana, feed them breakfast, and provide some playtime before starting work. During work: Since I work from home, the dogs are always supervised. I usually keep the house doors open (weather permitting) so they can move around free freely. Afternoon /Evening: another walk or play session, feed dinner, and quality bonding time. Weekly: Extra care such as deep grooming, cleaning their space, and interactive play or training sessions. Summary: Pet care is fully integrantes into my daily routine, Owain and Lana enjoy safe freedom in the home while being contantly supervised, ensuring they are happy, active and well-cared-for. I provide a safe, trusted environment for pets in my house, Owain and Lana are always supervised, and the house doors are usually open so they can move freely. Let’s also have access to a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention throughout the day.

Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.
