“Rebooked with Tania, it's such a nice feeling when you can leave your pet with somebody and know that they will have a good experience and will be loved and taken care of. I hope she never moves or leaves because I don't know what I would do!! LOL!! And Nala had a new bestie not only with her pup but with Tania. Thank you again for watching our baby girl Nala. I cannot recommend her enough”

“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”

“Diana took wonderful care of Reggie and was thoughtful enough to send regular photos and video to let me know how things were going. Reggie had a good time and I had peace of mind know he was well cared for!”

“You will not find more attentive and caring hosts than Dan and Dave! Our very anxious older dog was quickly at home with them and their sweet chihuahua, Hoss. Our Maisie was walked twice a day and I was sent pictures and updates each day. I couldn't recommend them more highly! They are wonderful pet hosts!!”

“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”

“Another great stay! Our 9-month old golden retriever puppy developed so much confidence while staying with Jade. (He is generally a little nervous meeting new dogs.) But after an overnight stay at Jade’s house he walked right up to a new dog, wagged his tail, and said hello! We highly recommend Jade and her services. Excellent communication and happy dogs!”

“Michael was great! He was very kind, and gave me status updates. He treated my dog like part of the family. I would recommend him to everyone and will be using his services in the future whenever he is available.”


About: I have had pets and cared for pet since I was in high-school ,dogs, cats,snakes I love them all. Nothing makes me happier then watching over a animals. I have full time to care and love on your fur baby I am working from home in a job that allows me lots of down time for playtime, potty, breaks and all out fun. I am available anytime!

“Brodie has stayed with Phillip multiple times and he has a great time with Phillip and family. Phillip provided regular updates and pics showing Brodie enjoying the fun and attention.”
About: Ever since a child I have had an undeniable bond with animals. I’ve worked with all types, birds, horses, dogs, cats, livestock, exotic animals, you name it. Growing up my family was always pet people and they’d say I’m more of a pet person than them all! As a previous rancher, I have tons of experience with medications, veterinary care, and pet care for all species. As an entrepreneur I have all the time in the world for my pets and yours! My schedule is almost always free and ready for you! I own a beautiful 6 year old working line German shepherd, so I specialize in high-energy and protective breeds. I understand their drive, structure, and need for leadership. My goal is to keep your dog mentally fulfilled, exercised, and emotionally secure while maintaining the training and routine you’ve built. I also have experience with low energy dogs, training puppies, and even whelping litters! I currently work Monday-Thursday, 6am-4pm, so I have afternoons and weekends! After March 2nd I’m free whenever I need to be fit in for your loving pet care! I focus on personalized, attentive care in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I maintain your pet’s routine, monitor behavior and health, and provide mental and physical enrichment. Owners receive regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.
“Christina was helpful and very kind. I am grateful for the last minute ability to watch my baby. She was very reassuring during our meet and greet and her willingness to work with times for drop off and pick up. The house was warm and welcoming. I am thankful for the updates and photos to help with me being away. I did contact her first for an update but to be fair, it was early the next morning. Not sure I gave her enough time to update me first. Thank you for everything!”

“This was our first time boarding Ginny with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, so I was definitely nervous. Dezarae was so great and sent daily updates with photos and videos without us having to ask, which meant a lot. Ginny can have some separation anxiety with me and my partner, but the consistent updates (and little details about how she was doing, especially with crate time) really helped ease my mind. Ginny clearly had the best time. She got comfortable with Dezarae’s dogs quickly and loved being part of their routine. We also booked pretty last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. Ginny came home happily exhausted in the best way. We would absolutely book with her again.”


“Erika is wonderful and Moko her dog is so sweet! Our dog, Lu can sometimes be nervous about making new friends and she was so patient and kind and accommodating to help her and introduce her. Lu was well loved and cared for and looks forward to seeing Erika again!”


About: I’ve had two dogs that I raised from their puppy to senior years so I have experience with dogs in any age. I have experience giving medication and know some doggies love having a routine that I can help maintain to keep them happy and comfortable! I’m currently job hunting so I have plenty of time to watch and help care for your doggies while also giving them daily walks! I have a big fenced yard for them to run around in and multiple streets I can take them for walks on. I will provide a bed, toys and treats and make sure they always have clean fresh water.
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”

Kaci is amazing & truly one of a kind! We trust her with our two babies and no one else. She genuinely treats our dogs as her own, and you can tell how much she truly cares about them. They always have the best time—whether it’s cuddling up with her or playing in her backyard. She’s reliable, attentive, and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. 😊

Gabe and Meg were wonderful for our 2yr old Beau! They sent updates and loved on our Beau like their own. He seems to have really enjoyed his visit and play session with their dog, June, as he was a happy and tired pup on pickup! I wish we knew them sooner on our travels to OR, they are wonderful!

My dog, Lefty, had the best time with Marie and her family in Salem while I was traveling for work! My dog can be a little timid, especially around new people, but Marie warmly welcomed Lefty and took the time to introduce her to her family, including her 2 very sweet dogs, really making sure Lefty felt comfortable prior to her stay. I really appreciated Marie’s warm/kind demeanor, flexibility and communication- sending updates and photos throughout the stay! Having great care while away really gave me peace of mind- literally zero worries- it was the best! I picked up such a happy, tired, well-cared for pup- we can’t wait to visit Marie and her family again soon!!

Pakuna took great care of our dog! Our dog was happy and healthy when we picked her up after boarding. She got lots of walks and lots of attention. Our dog has tons of health issues and restrictions, but Pakuna handled everything perfectly. She is thorough and pays attention to dog behavior very well. She will be our first choice for boarding from now on 😊
