“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”


“Listen, look no further on Rover! Sharon is it. My dog injured himself and needed a place for several days that was attentive to his needs because he couldn't run or jump and I didn't want him crated all day while I was at work. Sharon sent me videos, photos, progess updates, and my Bosey would get so excited when we pulled up to her house. Her home is so serene and calm. She has plenty of toys. He has recovered quicker than I anticipated. I soooo appreciate Sharon and the care and compassion that she had for my Bosey. I will be using her and anyone reading this review should too.”


“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”


“Jared and Waverly went above and beyond for my dog. They gave me regular updates (pictures included) on how he was doing throughout the day and made sure he was settling okay. I cannot thank them or recommend them enough!”



“We are so pleased with Rachael!! Today was our dogs first daycare visit with her and everything went great! You can tell upon meeting her and entering her home that she is very dedicated to what she does and the care she provides. Great communication and quick responses at every point throughout the day. We are so glad to have found her and look forward to booking with her in the future!”


“McKenzie was Awesome! Our dog has very bad separation anxiety and she was great with him she was very communicative and sent us pictures often, she is very experienced with dogs and is very flexible and was able to accommodate our needs right away. Excellent sitter I highly recommend her! Thank you McKenzie.”


“Susan was really nice with my fur baby ! I appreciate her sending me lots of photos and videos to keep my mind at rest !! My dog loved her entire family and had so much fun with her daughters , thanks again for taking care of her so well!”


“Jessica was great at making us feel at ease leaving Grizzly with her and her family!!! We are preparing for our vacation out of state and are happy we found Jessica to leave Grizzly with so we can have a worry free vacation!!!”


About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I currently have a 9 year old Yorkiepoo, Riley. I have a large backyard that is fenced in for the dogs to run and play. My home is one story so it is also senior dog friendly. Riley does well with other dogs. I work from home so I am always available to show TLC! If I do leave the home it’s for 4 hours or less. If their was an extenuating circumstance I would make you aware before confirming the reservation. I prefer to crate dogs when I’m not home though I am flexible on this depending on the situation. My Yorkiepoo feels safest when crated when I’m not home so he is always crate if I’m not there. I’m willing to discuss the needs of your furbabies so they’re the most comfortable they can be while being away from you. I’m also open to any new clients coming and seeing my home before making a decision to board with me. I understand it can be anxiety inducing leaving our furbabies and being able to see the environment they may be staying in can help! I know I struggle when having to leave my dog because he is a creature of habit and I want to know that he will be as comfortable as possible! I would also like to provide that peace of mind for your pets.

About: Since I was a child I have loved all animals. I continue to enjoy taking time to scratch a belly and take a walk . I stay at home and so I am available to give care almost 24/7. I regularly exercise and go outside and the dogs come with. I do not have a fenced yard but I have leashes I can put the dogs on to potty and chase balls. I can take dogs out side all day long if they want.

About: I have experience with all types of dogs from various backgrounds. I got into fostering with my wife a few years ago. I have plenty of experience with dogs who need medication administration, including injections and am conscious that some need to stick to a specific food. I want to make this a place a home away from home for your pup because that’s what they deserve when they’re away from the people they love the most! My schedule is flexible. A typical routine is to have morning, afternoon, evening and bedtime potty breaks and mealtime at breakfast and dinner. The only conflict may be that we attend church Sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard and a playful pup to keep your fur baby entertained. If crating is part of your dog’s routine, please provide the crate, as I do not crate my dog. We do bark box, so no need to bring toys. I do recommend something that smells like home, especially for the first visit, and if your dog has separation anxiety. Please don’t bring any sentimental toys or bones as it can cause resource guarding and potential conflict. All dogs are fed separately at mealtime. I cannot watch unfixed dogs (male or female) past 1 year old due to behavioral issues. If we are away from the house, dogs are kept in the playroom so they have room to roam. I have a ring camera to be able to check in if needed. Please reach out for any further questions so I may provide clarification!

“Kai was so incredibly sweet. She worked with our crazy schedule and drop off arrangements. We originally opted for just daycare but Kai offered to keep our boys overnight so we didn't have to go out of our way after a long day just to drop them back off the next morning. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and our boys looked happy, relaxed and at home. I would definitely recommend Kai to watch your pets!”


“So grateful for Gabriella! She helped us out by watching our pup while we passed through Kentucky during a road trip. Nemo and Yeti got along like old chums! Definitely book with Gabriella.”


About: I have two dogs. One is 7 months and the other is 5 years old. I have lived with dogs all my life and understand overall training needs as well. I have an acre back yard which is perfect for dogs! I work remote 4 days out of the week. So I can adjust my schedule to any times required! I can be very flexible and check in multiple times if required. Large back yard for my two pups and lots of room around the house. We also love to go to local parks for longer walks.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, from dogs & horses to rabbits and hamsters. I currently have 3 dogs from 40-65 pounds. My lab is on daily medication so I am comfortable giving your babies meds if needed. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of of their pets and I’m always willing to! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. I go into office one-two days a week so but the rest is wfh! I am willing to workout any needs for the weekend. I prefer crates for your pets until they are more familiar with the environment, if you are not comfortable doing so I will make exceptions. I do have two crates that stay in my home if needed
