“This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and Staci quickly eased my nerves. I could tell that she was loving Towards my dog and would take good care of him. And she did just that. Will definitely use Staci again. Thanks Staci.”
“OMG! They are the best care providers for my two pooches, Reign and Bali. They loved on Reign and Bali like they were their own furry babies. Thank you for keeping them groomed, playing with them, and taking them on walks!”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“This was a fun visit for my dog. Lots of good questions about how they could help Cooper feel comfortable during his stay. Lyla, their dog, was more than happy to welcome Cooper into their home! Lots of playing, and Cooper came home tired and happy. I would definitely recommend!”
“Melissa was absolutely fabulous!!! I am definitely the definition of helicopter mom when it comes to my dog. Melissa was amazing she allowed us to come by before the booking to meet her dogs and her. Then once the trip began she was fantastic constantly updating and sending me photos of my boy…heath is a covid puppy and VERY bonded to me and it was soo amazing to see him happy and comfortable while i was gone!! Thank you Melissa for being so wonderful!! Heath cant wait for the next trip so he can come back and play!”
About: There has never been a day of my life that I haven’t had and loved and cared for a pet. My love for animals is unmeasurable. I have cared for my own pets, as well as pets of my family and friends. Animals bring me so much joy and if I can spend every day of my life loving on my own and others’ fur babies, it will be a great life! I have cared for young and old animals and everything in between. I would love to be part of taking care of your furry friends! I have the best job in the WORLD! I’m pretty flexible to whatever your needs might be and can usually adjust my schedule to work around just about any client/pet needs. Please feel free to reach out with any requests! It is so important to feel comfortable with the people you entrust your pets to, and I can offer years of experience and care. I have trained my own pets from the time they came to my home. I am a smoke free, active individual who loves to get outdoors. I’m happy to provide whatever service needed, whether it be walks, exercise, basic training, mental activities, etc. I bring with me decades of experience caring for and loving on all animals I come in contact with!
“Mr Bear is an old grumpy dog who doesn’t take change easily. I was worried how he would adapt to strange people in a strange place. I didn’t need to worry. Via the pictures Sarah sent in a daily basis, he was sitting in the bed, getting along everyone even the dog. I was impressed by the love and care Mr Bear got. Will definitely use her again.”
“Ashtyn is very nice and Bimmer seemed to really enjoy her and her dog Gus. I was provided with pics/videos when we were away and communication was awesome! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Carrie took great care of our Auggie, boarding him at her home. And her pup Lucky was also an excellent host, matching Auggie’s energy step for step! Funny how fast he recharges, though! 🤔🤣. Carrie shared lots of pics and videos of the pups playing, and at rest. 🙂”
“Felt very comfortable having our Margo stay with Kristen while we were gone for about a week! Received updates on how she was doing and was always quick to respond, Will definitely re-book.”
“I am grateful to Ryan for taking care of my cat Sookie. Ryan was attentive, reassuring and so caring.... sending pictures that showed how Sookie had adapted well and was taken good care of. I totally recommend Ryan to take care of your pet, giving you the peace of mind you need when you are away.🩷🐱”
“I definitely recommend Adaora! I feel like my pup was very well cared for and it was nice to get picture updates. Maverick seemed like he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! :) I will be a repeat for sure!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Junebug! She was so relaxed when she got home today! I highly recommend Elliott and Jenna J. to care for your dog! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Misti was a fantastic sitter for our pup. She was so welcoming and accommodating to make Roger’s stay as comfortable as possible. He came home happy and tired from all the playing! I would recommend Misti and plan to book her services again!”
About: I used to work as a vet tech while getting my undergraduate degree in animal science. I spent a full summer running my own doggy daycare and have worked in boarding facilities as well. I have experience grooming, giving medication, and plenty of experience with loving on animals!! My home has two dogs who love to snuggle and play, and I would love to care for your pet too! I am working from home currently, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I set my own schedule, so I can have flexibility with pick-up/drop-off. I have a giant crate (big enough for a great dane) and a small one (big enough for a beagle), but I also don’t mind uncrated dogs. My two dogs will be crated separately when I am not home, unless owner requests their dog have a buddy. Dogs are allowed on furniture and can sleep in the bed if that’s their norm. I have a large fenced in yard.
