“We love that our pup gets a “vacation” while we are away! Heather is wonderful and takes such great care of him. We love being able to leave him without having to worry!”
“This was Maggie’s first time with Jill. She was boarded when she was 1 and had such a traumatic experience we weren’t sure we could leave her with a non-family member again… but she seemed to really enjoy Jill! She was happy to see me upon return, but was also so excited around Jill, I knew she was treated well and loved on. We received pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Thank you, Jill, for loving on our girl. (We’ve already booked Jill for next time!)”
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
“This was the second time that Mark has watched our somewhat stubborn, scared pup and he did an incredible job again. He clearly cares for all the pets he watches, they interact well, and he even gave our dog a costumed photo shoot. 100% would recommend Mark”
“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“Andrea and our dog, Milo, became best buddies immediately, and spent 3 lovely days together. Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”
“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”
“11/10 recommend. it was my puppies first time staying outside of our home and Katelyn was great! she was very accommodating when we arrived later than expected and sent many pictures updates. will definitely book again 🥰🥰”
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”
“Cathleen was more than we could have asked for. She took the time to meet us beforehand, to get to know us and our dog. She sent us pictures and updates throughout Sammy's visit. She met us at the drop-off and pick up to chat. We highly recommend her….”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly understand what it means to provide quality care for them. I spent a few years as a Kennel Attendant for a Vet clinic, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Now I am a pet parent to two huskies and two cats. I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I’m available on Fridays and Saturdays for overnight boarding and pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention and care over the weekend. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and explore safely in my privacy-fenced yard. My two huskies love having company. I make sure all pets feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
