“Megan and her husband were SO great with our fur-babies. I was so nervous leaving them behind with someone and I felt so reassured that they stayed with Megan. I got pictures and videos and could tell that Stella & Casanova really loved their little vacation. Thanks so much!!!!!!”

About: My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours. We are currently retired and have time to dedicate to your pet. We enjoy being outside and would love to spend time with your dog by either walks, playing in the yard or visiting the park. Our home is pet friendly, allowing your dog to roam freely. We have a fenced in yard for play and a deck that dogs enjoy sunning themselves on. Going for a walk, taking time to understand your dogs needs and just spending time with your dog is our priority.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”

“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy, but Shanice was amazing! He had so much fun and was well taken care of! When I picked him up he was happy and didn’t want to leave!”

“Linda was wonderful and watched our 1 year old dog while we vacationed for the week. She took the time to send plenty of photos and took our dog on many fun walks around the neighborhood each day! Our dog was a rescue and tends to be very nervous and cautious in new situations. Linda took extra care to make sure he was happy and comfortable each day. I highly recommend booking with Linda!”

“Kaia loves Marinna so much she drags me towards her apartment on our walks! She had another great stay and Marinna even cared for her when she had an upset stomach. Can’t say enough good things, she is now my go-to sitter!”

“Skye was amazing. It was a pretty last minute booking but from the time we met, I felt comfortable leaving Leroy. We got regular updates and photos and he always looked happy. Any concerns we had about Leroy going on a hunger strike(normal for him when he's left behind) or not going #2 on a leash were alleviated quickly. He even apparently was friendly with other dogs which can be a challenge at times. I will not hesitate to use Skye again and am confident that we just found our regular sitter when the need arises.”

“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”

“Carol and Dimitri were wonderful with our little Honey. They took great care of her, and gave her lots of love. We will definitely look forward to having her stay with them again.”
“Joshua was amazing with our boy. He send pictures and shared cute moments during the walks. He was sweet and caring. I would definitely recommend him for taking care of your pet.”

About: I’ve had a dogs my entire life. I love them all big and small. I’ve also fostered for the last 20 years. I love all dogs and have 4 of my own. I’d love to pamper your pup too! I am currently a stay at home mother and have plenty of free time to walk or help care for pets. I have mornings and afternoons free. I have 4 very spoiled rescues. We have a fenced in yard but I never leave my dogs outside alone. My dogs are not crated but I would crate a visiting pet for safety if I was not home.
“I had a great experience leaving my dog with her. She sent lots of photos and updates, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. My dog got plenty of exercise and always looked happy and relaxed. She clearly put a lot of care into everything, from daily routines to extra food and toys. My dog truly enjoyed staying with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!🥰🥰”

“Lina took care of my Maine Coon while I was away, and she was amazing! She sent me pictures every day, so I always knew my cat was doing well. My cat looked super happy (even with the cone of shame on) and comfortable in all the pics. Lina really loves animals and it shows. If you need someone to look after your pet, I totally recommend her. Thanks, Lina, for being awesome!”

“This was my first time using a boarding service for my puppy, and I would use Erica over and over again. I was assured of the wellbeing of my dog with videos and pictures throughout the day. 10/10 recommended!”

“Nirvana did an excellent job taking care of our dog Milo. Always texting and sending pictures to assure me he was doing well. She was very patient and understanding of how I felt leaving him for 11 days.”

“We were referred to Audrey by a friend of a friend, and she did not disappoint! When we needed a dog-sitter at the last minute so we could attend a funeral out of state, Audrey not only made herself available, but made our Ralphie feel like family. She has an enormous yard and two great dogs of her own. Ours was so happy there, he didn’t want to leave!”

Mary & Aaron are fantastic! They cared for our 2 senior dogs with love and patience while we were away. Their home is very pet friendly with a large backyard and there is 24 hour supervision and care. We received daily updates and pictures during their stay. We highly recommend booking with Mary and Aaron for your pets stay.
Our dog Mazie loves going to Ricks! She is an Aussiedoodle that needs a lot of exercise so it was important for us to find someone who would make sure she got her steps in. At Rick’s, she’s able to run the property to get out all of her energy. Rick sends us videos every day to share how Mazie is doing. We feel confident knowing mazie is in good hands when we are away.
