“Abigail took very very good care of Bella. She sent me updates and pictures. Bella was very happy when I picked her up. That means she loved being there. Will absolutely recommend and will be booking in the future. Thank you.”

“This family does an amazing job with our Zorii. She has separation anxiety pretty bad so we are always nervous to leave her with new people. They took her in as one of their own and she loves going there. I highly recommend.”


About: I’ve taken care of several animals, my own and family members since I was 10. I’ve raised and trained a few puppies over the years as well as my own dog who is now two. He the most well behaved boy I know! I work for DoorDash so I make my own schedules I decide when I work and when I don’t so I have a lot of free time to take care of and play with all your beautiful animals! I have a 3 bedroom house with a large dining room and living room as well as a good sized backyard. It has an 8 food privacy fence!


“Wish I could give these ladies 100 stars! In a nut shell, Megan and Lois are a blessing! It s so nice to get away and know your baby is happy too! Thank you both so much ! So much better than a noisy kennel.”


“Monica was awesome! She sent lots of photos and updates of our two doggies. She took them on lots of walks and they they got plenty of treats! We will be boarding with her again”


About: Im from a bigger family and most of my siblings have little doggies! I have helped potty train little puppies, to taking dogs on lots of walks and had so much fun with play dates! I’m working a part time job so I have free time after 1pm. I have to be able to leave in the mornings and come back after 4 hrs if staying in your home. Sometimes it switches up and can be very flexible if need be! I live out in the country so lots of space and land for little doggy’s to play, and lots of places for walks! There are two other dogs currently living in my home, both male. One is fixed the other is not. I can watch female dogs if spayed. I can also crate if needed.

“I can’t recommend Ethan enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear he truly cared about animals and took the role seriously. He took the time to get to know my cat, Linda, and asked thoughtful questions about her routine, preferences, and quirks. While I was away, Ethan sent regular updates and adorable photos that really gave me peace of mind. Linda looked happy and relaxed in everyone. When I picked her up, she was calm, well-fed, and clearly lovingly cared for. The litter area was spotless. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to take care of your pets, Ethan is an absolute gem. I’ll definitely be booking with him again. Thank you. Ethan”


“Hope is so sweet! She kept me updated on my puppy the entire time! My dog Cocoa is very high energy, and her dogs at home were able to play and socialize with my dog so well! My dog is a XL Bully, and since Hope has her own dog that are Bull mix breeds; it made feel a lot more confident and comfortable with having my baby there! I will definitely use her again!”
