“Kat is fantastic. She took great care of our two dogs and kept us informed of how they were doing with texts and pics. The pups had a great time. I think they’re a little disappointed to be back with us.😉”


“Melissa took amazing care of my dog, ensuring he had plenty of exercise, play time, and snuggles during his weekend stay. Her place is set up perfectly for hosting pets, and she is very warm and knowledgeable. I received frequent updates throughout my dog's stay. I would not hesitate to work with Melissa again!”


“I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!”


“This is our second time boarding Joey with Rae and David. Truly amazing experience! They were willing to board our dog last minute and always kept me posted with messages/pictures. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby!”


“If I could give her 6 stars I would (RECOMMEND) she will love your fur baby like it is her owns her and Luxe are a heavent sent combo so yes BOOK with Julianne my Gabe misses her already ❤️”


“Peggy was great! She had to take in my dog to the vet LAST MINUTE ON CHRISTMAS EVE but didn’t complain so much as a minute. She was also able to get my dog into healthier habits and she lost those last couple pounds we were worried about! Absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend.”


“Justin was great. He was very acccomodating and understanding of my unique services. He went above and beyond to make sure my upper was taken care of perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.”


“De’Aysia was great with our pup! He came home happy, and she did a phenomenal job of keeping us up to date with how he was doing while we were gone. 10/10 recommend! Milo will be back to see his puppy cousins soon!”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11. Mostly my own family’s pet and occasionally a friend or family member’s pet. Our pets are our family. I can stop by your home twice a day for feedings, walks, litter care, etc during the week or it can be arranged on the weekends if I am not booked For boarding, we have a spacious backyard for the fur babies to run around in as well as a quiet neighborhood to go on walks I can feed your pet according to their dietary needs and preferences, take them out of their crate if they are crate trained, etc. I will definitely make sure your pet gets love!

“Lola and her family did a great job caring for Josie. She was honest, and so sweet and gentle with my furbaby. I appreciate she was flexible with a meet and greet prior to boarding. I highly recommend Lola. Convenient, reasonable and very honest.”


“Amy was wonderful to work with in watching our English Setter. She kept us posted regularly with how he was doing and he was obviously very comfortable in the pictures she shared! She was very helpful in working with us and making sure of his needs. Can’t say enough about the care Amy showed and we will be in touch with her for any future sitting needs. Thanks so much again Amy!”


“Hailey was kind and very friendly. She immediately connected with our fur baby. She was prompt in her communications with us and very thorough to ensure our dog would be a good fit. We are beyond thrilled to find her.”

“Kayla is a real treasure! Her home was spotless and she and her family were great with our dog. She sent us daily updates along with pics, which we loved. As an abandoned rescue, we were concerned about how he'd handle a long boarding but Kayla settled him right away. She welcomed our quick visit in the middle of the stay. Thank you Kayla!”


“September did a wonderful job with our dog Digory. It was so nice knowing he was being so well taken care of and having such a great time while we were away! She sent lots of pictures of all the fun he was having which helped our kids so much while being away from him. We would definitely ask September to host Diggy again in the future!”

She sent us updates when Ruby was a little sick and helped reassure us that she was doing better! She sent photos and videos throughout the week to let us know they were doing well and we so appreciated that! We plan to reach out to Brittany for our future needs.”
