Katrina and her children took great care of my pup while I was away for the holidays. She sent lots of updates and photos. Her dogs are super sweet and were great playmates for Luna. She came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Katrina provided all of the dogs with Christmas treats and they each got to unwrap and keep a present! Great service. I will definitely contact Katrina in the future when Luna needs a place to stay.

This was our first experience with a home stay and it was awesome in every way. Steve answered my questions and made drop off so easy. Nellie was immediately comfortable and I left knowing she was going to have a great experience. We got a couple of nice updates during the stay. We have already rebooked for another stay! I 100% recommend Steve and Tilaine. What a wonderful family. Thank you!

Angela was absolutely amazing! I decided to book my crazy Labrador puppy Haven and Angela really helped me out with picking her up and dropping her off for me. I really loved that she was loved by everybody in the house! I loved seeing the updates of Haven and her kids playing together it was adorable! Angela sends you lots updates and treats your pets just like her own. I will be using her again and will recommend her to everyone that seeks somewhere to board their dogs :)

About: I’ve watched many dogs and two cats over the past 4 years usually over family friend vacations. I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as two young puppies. I spoil my dogs and would be happy to treat your pets with just as much love! I am a part time college student so I have a TON of time to pet sit! As I prepare for dental school in the fall, I will also be free for summer work. I love staying with dogs in either an environment they are used to or my own depending on what the pet parent prefers! There is a fenced in dog park behind my apartment that is never occupied where I run around with dogs. If it is occupied, I would walk around the park nearby with lots to smell on the trail. I also love giving dog baths, so that could totally be included!

Libby did an outstanding job as always with my dog and cat. She graciously cared for them for an entire two weeks while I was away. She is so warm, kind, and flexible. My dog can be clingy with me when I leave him behind but he remembered Libby and was so happy to see her that he forgot all about me and danced over to greet her, his face completely lighting up and covering her with kisses.. That says everything about her wonderful loving care! So grateful for Libby!
