“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”
“Jenna was great with my doggo and accommodating with my last minute booking! She sent pictures throughout the day and my dog obviously had an enjoyable day! Thank you again!”
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”
“I am so happy to have found Ashley! I felt/feel confident that Gloria had a fun day with her “friends” while we were out. She came home calm and content after a day of running around like a puppy should. We will be boarding soon as well, and I’m glad to know our puppy is in amazing care while we travel.”
“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly well-loved! It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Bhairavi is the one. Bhairavi and Gary have a beautiful home and you will not find anyone better to love and care for your dog!! I will definitely be booking again!”
“If you are a super picky dog parent like me, you will not trust your babies to just anyone looking to make a few extra bucks while you're away. Wendy's home is dog friendly with plenty of fresh clean water, comfortable furniture, baby gates to prevent door-dashing, and a well maintained HUGE secure fenced back yard with plenty of room for your dogs to run and explore! She is a wonderful pet parent, and her personal dogs are very well socialized, loved and cared for. 5 stars from this dog mom!”
“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
About: Over 15 Years of Loving, Experienced Dog Care I’ve shared my life with dogs for more than 15 years, including special-needs and senior pups who need a little extra patience and love. I’m experienced in giving medications and making sure every dog feels safe and cared for. My home has a secure, fenced yard with no children, just space to run, sniff, and relax. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and would be thrilled to welcome a new friend for play and snuggle time. Whether your pup needs energetic play or a calm, cozy environment, they’ll feel right at home here. I work from home during the week, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll enjoy a consistent schedule with playtime in the fenced yard, and lots of snuggles in between. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, and my secure fenced yard allows for safe outdoor play. I make sure fresh water is always available, follow any feeding or medication instructions exactly, and keep a clean, pet-friendly space with no hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own—keeping routines consistent, providing plenty of attention, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable until you return.
About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.
About: As a professional dog trainer, I pride myself on being able to safely offer dogs opportunities they wouldn't get elsewhere. I am typically home all day everyday, but, when dogs are alone in the home they are kept safely crated in a monitored room. I can safely house reactive and aggressive dogs in the home and have experience handling such. For owners who are comfortable I also take dogs with me on local hiking trails often! Reach out and let’s talk dogs! Dogs and their care is my full time job! I am always doing something with or for a dog. Wether that’s training sessions, walks, hikes, or some form of enrichment, we are kept busy around here! Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.
