“Harold was fantastic with my two girls! He helped me out when I needed daycare last minute and I loved the pictures I got throughout the day. Would absolutely book again!”


“Ann-Marie was perfect for our big golden! She is so sweet and responds quickly to messages. Our dog had the best time staying with her and came home exhausted from a weekend of playing. 100% recommend Ann-Marie and would book her again in a heartbeat”


“Sorelwing loved on our puppies like they were her own. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Her house is clean and dog proof, and my dogs felt comfortable right away. Thank you for taking such good care of them Sorelwing.”


“Brittany was wonderful to work with in reference to my dog sitting task. She sent me pictures of him daily and kept me update with how he was doing daily. I will definitely utilize her services in the future.”


“Ray is fantastic. I would classify Ray as more of a dog whisperer than dog sitter. We boarded our very lively 8 month old puppy, Boone, with Ray for 5 nights. Boone had gotten crate resistant in the past few weeks. He would cry and bark throughout the night and make sleeping a chore for us all. Ray was able to break this bad habit and give us our sleep back. He also completely got Boone off of wet food. Ray sent us pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day. Ray really does a great job and has a gift with dogs. I would highly recommend his services and will be using him again in the future.”


“I booked my two cats for boarding over six nights. My Mamacat is 17+ years old. Patch is 11+, diabetic and requires a daily insulin injections. They are 100% indoor cats. Mamacat is terribly nervous with new people, Patch not so much, but cautious. But I think I was more nervous for my babies, than any of us. I was so pleased with the reality of their stay. Due to all their existing issues, Teri housed them in a more isolated area of her home, by her master bedroom. So their contact was basically limited to Teri and her husband. Photos and updates came daily showing evidence of my kitties' progressive relaxation and adjustment. My heart was breathing a sigh of relief. One note. Due to the need of a more isolated & protected area, there was cigarette smoking in the farthest area where they were housed. For me this wasn't an issue at all. I only mention it since, in a similarly limiting need as mine, it might make a difference in decisions. It protected my "nervous nellies"; they were at ease, and I was pleased. In fact, I've already made a second booking!! I'm so grateful to have found Teri for watching my somewhat special needs furry family members. P.S. I saw a beautiful, healthy horse in the adjacent pasture. Then her personal cat came walking across the yard. As a cat lover I'm compelled to attempt petting all that I see. He was friendly, healthy and obviously happy. My nervousness immediately lowered a couple notches. I absolutely recommend Teri to look after your furbearing loved ones.”


“Miranda and her family are so kind! They have taken such great care of our girl twice now. We receive many updates and pictures without asking. Our girl is always doing something fun while staying with Miranda. Bluebell has her own vacation while with Miranda, we will definitely be back! 😊”


“Beckie was absolutely fantastic. We received pictures and regular communication on how they were doing. My fur babies were happy and tired when I picked them up. We will definitely use Beckie again!”


“Ashlyn is the perfect pet sitter. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos as well as gave Alvin lots of loving attention. Her two playful fur babies kept Alvin entertained with lots of playful interaction which he loves. We felt at ease with Alvin in her care knowing he was in good hands and enjoying his stay.”



“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! This was a last-minute booking, but they were incredibly accommodating and made the process stress-free. Throughout our time away, they kept us updated with frequent pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs absolutely loved them, and it was clear they were in great hands. Even when bad weather hit, they made sure to keep us informed about how the pups were doing. On top of all that, they’re just genuinely kind and responsible people. We’ll definitely be booking with them again the next time we go out of town!”


“Christen and her family were absolutely amazing to my two pups. I contacted her on very short notice when I had a work emergency, and she was so prompt and communicative. Onyx and Opal had a great time, a lot of cuddles, and they were very well cared for. Will definitely rebook, and I recommend to anyone!”


“Good communicator, our dog seemed right at home with her, great at drop off and pick up, professional, friendly, seems to really care about the pups in her care, would definitely book again”


“Deanna is awesome; she communicates well and sends pictures throughout the boarding. Which I love bc it puts my mind at ease when I’m away from my Bentley. He was super excited when we pulled up yesterday!”

Michelle S.
“Michelle is AMAZING! I seriously can’t say enough good things. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to handle them with patience and care. My dog can be a little nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Michelle immediately. She gave me regular updates, sent the cutest pics, and followed all my care instructions perfectly. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and clearly well loved like he had a little vacation of his own. I also really appreciated how professional and down to earth she was. You can just feel that she takes this seriously and treats your pet like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 10/10. Highly recommend. 🐾”
