Posy had a great time with Katie and the dogs! She loved getting to play in the yard and get some outside time. Sue came home happy and ready for a nap!

My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!

Tricia was very easy to communicate with & made the process very easy! I felt great leaving my pup with her over the weekend and I know Pippin had a great time. She came back to me a very happy and smiley puppy.

Kim watched our elderly Yorkie while we were away for a week. She was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had leading up to his stay. During our time away, she stayed in touch and sent pictures. She informed us that our dog was comfortable and already into a routine which we were so happy to hear since we know how anxious he can be when he is away from home. We felt at peace while away. We will DEFINITELY book her again!!!

Heidi truly deserves all the wonderful reviews she receives and more! My senior rescue pup is a loving, but not laid back dog who can be incredibly stressed by being away from his owners. Heidi was so responsive in communication, so thorough, and so thoughtful to help us set up meet and greets to make sure everything was a success for her and pup. She did a wonderful job assessing Tatum's mood in new environments. It was wonderful to pick up a non stressed dog after his playdate. She is absolutely his new best friend.

Our energetic black lab had such a great time with Karl and his dogs! When we picked her up she was happy and relaxed. Communication with Karl was very easy: he responded quickly to any questions we had, and sent pictures every day! His place is a great set up with a fenced in yard and safe areas for dogs to move around indoors. We will definitely use Karl again in the future!

Patti and her family took such great care of Luka while we were away. She got so much love and Luka was sad to leave when we came to pick her up. She will definitely miss the amazing yard! I know she will be very excited to go back when our family goes away again. Thank you Patti for loving our sweet girl and taking such good care of her.

About: My dad taught me at a young age how to care for, and respect all animals. I have turned this into a life long love for all animals, both domestic and wild. I am a vet assistant, and currently studying to be a certified vet tech. For the last two years I have worked at the local animal shelter, and for the last year, at a dog daycare as well. I have volunteered at Dakin for the best part of the last 15 years. This has included transportation of animals, dog walking, animal socialization, and the kitten ICU. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your furry family members. I am available during the week, on weekends, and holidays. Whether your dog likes the dog park, or playing in the backyard, we can play using their favorite toys. If they are more of a couch potato, I can accommodate them as well. If you have kitties that need company, we can play in the house, or go out for a stroller ride. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in. In the summer, a pool and water sprinkler will be available. I am a vet assistant, so I have first aid training for both dogs and cats. My house is air conditioned, perfect for relaxing on a summer day.

Amy and her family were fabulous. They made Takoda feel right at home. Takoda enjoyed making new friends, the walks and sleeping on the couch. Amy was very responsive and provided updates so we knew it was all going well. It was a wonderful experience for us and Takoda. We will definitely board Takoda with Amy again.

So happy to have found Steve & Deb. They are awesome! Thrilled to have peace of mind leaving for several days knowing that they were in great hands! Our 2 dogs were comfortable from the start and had a blast. They came home happy & tired from many days of fun & play inside and outside. We are confident they received top notch care and would definitely recommend!

Elissa was great! We were in town for a festival and just needed our two dogs boarded for the night. Elissa took our dogs' quirks and my husband's many questions in stride, and sent great updates. Our girls ended up both sleeping with her son, a sure sign they were comfortable and felt safe. Much appreciation for Elissa and would definitely book with her again!
