“Very nice people and our dog Zeus had a wonderful time! Would definitely have him stay there again. Good communication and provided daily pictures as well without going overboard.”
“Baylea and her family watched my dog and I don't think he has ever been happier! They sent me photos everyday and he had all the space he needed to run and play. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“Stephanie was great! She answered all my questions and took extra care for our nervous boarder. I loved that she sent lots of pictures and updates. We are so happy to have found a loving boarder for our corgi!”
About: We have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in-between! We have cared for dogs with special needs, behavioral concerns, and anxiety issues. We are ready to help your pup feel loved in our home or yours! We work full-time, but we are around most weekends and evenings. We spend most of our evenings taking care of and spending time with our pets. We call work hours "nap time" in our house since our dogs LOVE to nap, and they would love to have your pup join them! We have a fenced-in yard and a large crate (if needed). Our home has plenty of room, and there's always space for your dog to pile into bed with us for bedtime!
“What a beautiful family! Before staying with Amanda, our puppy had never been away from us! The spectacular care our pup got was incredible! We are so grateful to Amanda and family! Thank you!❤️”

“Thank you for another great stay and for treating Remi as part of the family! We are relieved she has a great time while we are away and and she comes home very happy and herself! She even got a new toy! Aaron is the best and we couldn’t ask for anything more, highly recommend!”

“Great experience! Beth was wonderful to work with, had great communication and updates (pictures too) of our little Ms. Willows Staycation. Love the home atmosphere versus traditional kennel.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.
