12. Laura K.
“I strongly recommend Laura to care for your pet(s). Not only is she my mother, but is a mom to our five cats and two dogs at home - quite the zoo! Unfortunately, one of our precious doggies has recently passed; he was a silver pug that sustained an accident at 4-years old, leaving him paralyzed in his hind legs. Laura was determined to give him the best quality of life possible, ensuring to make the best decisions on his behalf. The time and money needed to invest in caring for a paralyzed pet is abundant, but she never hesitated. She learned to express his bladder, clear his bowels, became an expert in wound care, and was constantly brainstorming ideas to make his life easier. Not to mention, we have a diabetic cat that requires a strict schedule of insulin twice a day and blood glucose checks throughout. She dedicates most of her time towards caring for our pets, and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as well. Not only is Laura very capable, but she has an incredibly big heart; I trust her wholeheartedly and could not recommend enough!”


13. Alyson B.
“Alyson has been a loving and reliable pet sitter for my dog. He is always happy to see her and we love that she keeps us informed about his day. We highly recommend her!”


14. Anna G.
“My wife and I went on vacation for a week and left our dog with Anna. Our dog spent the week at her house and could not have been happier. We received daily pictures and updates from her which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend”


15. Lanie K.
“Lanie is a wonderful, caring pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond for the pets. She is incredibly responsible and has a true love for animals. She has a lot of experience and was incredibly willing to communicate. I think anybody would be lucky to have Lanie as a pet sitter!”




16. Karen S.

“thanks so much for coming by on short notice and in the rain!”


17. Erin M.
“Erin was the most amazing caregiver for my dog, Petey, that I could have ever asked for! It's so hard to find someone reliable and who would love your dog as their own, but Erin truly did and I felt so comfortable having her watch him multiple times now!!! She truly went above and beyond and I'm so thankful to have found her.”


18. Maia C.
“Maia is fantastic with pets! She’s super reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. Whether it’s keeping your routine in check or making sure your pet is well taken care of, you can trust her completely. I have seen first-hand how much care and attention to detail she pours into everything she does. Working with Maia will not disappoint!”

About: We have been offline from Rover, taking repeat customers, and personal referrals, which was keeping us very busy! Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab Lulu, is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover will be a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! I have posted a few pictures. Max resting with his new BFF and a Dog Vacay client Duke!! Also some regulars of our Pet loving care Riley, Bella and Tex, Rosie.. Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
