“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Christine! Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left. I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with her for the weekend and we will definitely be long term clients for her!”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“~ This is the second time that I’ve used Kimberly M. & I feel comfortable leaving my boy, one bc she takes one client’s animal at a time, two he has bonded with her daughters & three Kimberly sends pics throughout the stay… I will use her again & highly recommend her!!”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
About: I have over 30 years of caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes-including rescue dogs. It is a dogs world-I just pay the bills!! Hi there! I have taken care of and loved dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs at home- Ryder who is a 7 year old yellow lab who loves to play fetch and cuddle and CiCi, a six year old shepherd mix who loves to explore the backyard and play. Both of my dogs are very dog friendly and love to play. I work from home most days and am available on weekends. I have half an acre of fenced in back yard that allows your fur baby to have endless zoomies and potty breaks! I also take my dogs on frequent walks to get their exercise on as well. Dogs are welcomed on the couch. Interactions and meals between dogs will always be supervised. Please let me know how I can best fit your dogs needs! I have a spacious house that allows allows dogs to relax and have their space. My backyard is half an acre and fenced completely. I enjoy walking my dogs for both physical and mental exercise. I always ensure the safety of my dogs and will care equally for anyone who trusts me with their pups.
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Anika was absolutely amazing. The care and concern provided for my baby was out of this world. Mocha thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled and having a ball with everyone in the home. I was really appreciative of Anika's consistent communication and check ins. The photos and videos were the highlight of my day while I was away. I don't trust my baby with many, but my heart was completely at ease while she was in Anika's care. Ever grateful. We will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you 💕”
“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”
“I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Alexis was reliable and truly caring. Joey warmed up quickly to her. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. When I picked him up, Joey was happy and well-cared-for. Thank you, Alexis, for your excellent care!”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”

Shauna and her husband welcome my Joy into their home as if she were one of their own. Daily communications and photos while I’m away are something I look forward to getting every day. They care for her and love her just like I would. There is no better place for my Joy while I’m away!
Micaya was courteous and professional. She made sure to do a meet and greet with my dog and hers in a neutral spot before agreeing to boarding. During my dog's stay, Micaya was communicative and sent pictures and videos. My dog seemed very happy and adjusted well. I hope to use Macaya again. I highly recommend her!
I could not be happier! My Luna is such a nervous dog. But Jennifer made her feel at home. She responded to my messages quickly, and set my mind at ease. Jennifer really treats your pet as part of your family! I recommend her 100%. Looking forward to Luna's next visit in November! Thanks so much for taking care of my baby!
