“First time boarding our 6 month old fur baby and we were so pleased! Juli would text us updated along with pictures of our Archie playing with her other pups. She gave a detailed report upon picking him up and he came home one happy boy! Will definitely have another stay with Juli!”


“Great job watching our 4 month old puppy! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures. She did everything we asked as far as his schedule and ongoing training. Will definitely reach out again!”


“Summer is fantastic! She takes such good care of our Toby while we are away and spoils him ROTTEN! She loves him like we do. And now she has even more room for him to safely run and play while spending time in the sun. Toby loves Simmer and so do we! ❤️”


“Donna and Wendy were so pleasant! They were accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet at their home. Donna explained that she has 12 years of veterinary experience, which settled my first time nerves A LOT. We also received pictures and updates everyday of our pup, which was greatly appreciated while being away on a week long trip. When our plane landed, we were running a few hours behind schedule, and Wendy was patient, understanding and accommodating when picking up our pup at 10PM. We love and appreciate you! We will be back :)”

About: As a dedicated pet parent to three dogs—two Chihuahuas and a lovable Lab mix—caring for animals is not just a passion, it’s a way of life. One of my pups is a senior who requires extra time, patience, and attention, giving me extensive experience with older dogs and their unique needs. On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve also worked closely with high-energy puppies, so I’m confident in handling all ages and temperaments. I’m extremely detail-oriented and committed to giving your pet the same level of love, care, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home in my space. With a large, fenced-in backyard for playtime and plenty of cuddles to go around, your furry family member will be in great hands. I currently have a fulltime job that I am at 8-6 Monday through Friday. I have an hour lunch break each day where I go home and let the dogs use the bathroom. Once I am home from work for the day, I am very present with my animals. We often play fetch in the backyard, go on walks around the neighborhood or occasionally walk to the river. All of our dogs are adults and have mastered the art of taking it easy. They’re calm, gentle, and perfectly content to lounge the day away. If your pup is looking for a peaceful, stress-free place to relax, this is the perfect spot for them to unwind and enjoy some quiet company. I would be available anytime Saturday and Sundays, and after 6 Monday-Friday. I would be available for drop ins or walks during the week in the afternoon hours! I can provide pet sitting along with drops ins and walks at any time on the weekends! I have a large, 4 foot tall fenced in back yard which the dogs are able to access directly from inside. If requested, I will gladly crate your dog overnight or while I am not home. We allow animals on the couches as well as beds, so sleeping with humans would be no problem! I can be very accommodating, if you have any special requests, I'm more than happy to honor those! Given my experience with senior dogs, I am comfortable administering medication if needed!

“Boarding with Ashley was such a good experience! She was flexible with drop off times and treated my pup like her own! She sent photo updates, which was much appreciated! I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her for your boarding needs!”


“Angela really loves dogs. I was so surprised when she said that she allowed my dog in her bed to help him relax since I was away . Angela treated my dog as if he were hers. I was so happy with her kindness and will definitely call her again. Thank You Rover!”


“The drop off/pick up for both pups was excellent! I really like the care the dogs received while with Amy, her family! I would love to bring the dogs back for another over night stay…thanks a bunch!”


“Remus loved staying with Ashley and enjoyed the large fenced-in yard and playing with Ashley’s dogs! And she sent pictures of our happy guy throughout the week! Highly recommend!”


“Christina was so wonderful with our old handicapped dog! Our senior dog has so many special needs and is a tough cookie to take care of, but Christina handled our dog so well! She really goes above and beyond to meet our dog's needs, she changed his diaper, walked him every two hours, bathed him, and kept him comfortable. We really appreciate everything she did and highly recommend her!”
