“Patchen and Stacey not only made me feel right at home, but my babies absolutely adored going and staying with them. They cared and lived on my babies as well as ensured they were properly monitored and safe. 15/10!”

About: Approximately 18 years ago I saved 2 dogs from being euthanized that were living in cages in a landfill. Little did I know that it would set me on a path of wanting to rescue more. I started volunteering for several rescues and quickly discovered that it was my passion. I bought a home 7.5 years ago and since that time I have fostered 78 dogs, including 3 litters of large breed puppies. I would like to do some drop ins and boarding. I recently had to take a huge cut in pay, and I have decided to do this as a means to close the gap. I can care for dogs of all sizes, temperament, and ages. Special needs are not a problem. I work 2pm to 10pm, 4 days on and 2 days off. My place of employment is only a few minutes away from my house, so I can come home and check on them, during my lunchtime. I also have a close and very trustworthy friend that lives down the street that can do extra check ins, if I feel like your pet needs it. I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that he/she requires. I will care for your pet in your home as instructed. In my home they will have their own personal space, no contact with any other dogs for safety reasons. I have a garage that is setup like a living room. I have secure kennels, if needed. There's also heat and air conditioning, as well as personal outside space via a doggie door. I have a huge yard and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood where I can take them for walks, if needed. I have a Great Pyrenees that is an escape artist, so my yard is very secure. The house/yard is surrounded by 4 webcams, as well as a webcam in the garage. Access can be provided to them while your pet is in my care. I also have a camper that I can spend overnight with your pet one on one, if they are struggling with being separated from you.

“Barbara took such good care of my very senior girl, Rosey. She was patient as they got to know each other and as Rosey got used to new surroundings and routines. Not easy for an old pup. Highly recommend! Thank you!!”

“Our dogs had an AMAZING experience with Bailey and Kyle! They were so welcoming and loving to our fur babies from the moment they met, and it was beyond evident that they are true dog lovers! They shared pictures with us throughout their stay and kept us up to date on how much FUN they were all having. In all seriously, our dogs were sad to leave! This was the most comfortable I've ever felt while away on vacation...our dogs were in such good hands!”

“Lena and her entire family was wonderful taking care of Harley!! Her children were so gentle and sweet with him. Honestly, I don't think he wanted to come home. We will definitely be a repeat customer of Lena's!”
“So wonderful! I dog sit myself and seldom need a sitter for my pouch, but this month I needed to make an emergency trip to Canada (stressful enough) and needed a good sitter for my 17 year old Shih Tzu with medical issues. Claire is incredible. It is so nice to be able to leave Tex in her care and know he is so well taken care of.”
“My dog had a great experience at Melanie’s. I picked him up happy, relaxed and energetic. (Two nights) He is a small senior dog) He comes home completely exhausted from my son’s house overnight, which is why I sought alternative care.”
“Leanne was great with our dog! We received lots of pictures and updates on how things were going. Our dog had slight separation anxiety but Leanne took him on a walk to help calm him. Leanne is a great host, super responsive, and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again!”
“Boarding at Raegan's went wonderfully for us! She agreed to take time to meet ahead of our boarding, to see her home and meet her pets. Then when our flight was delayed at the end of our dog's board, she was very flexible and agreed for us to pick up later than planned. I appreciate that Raegan was as communicative and flexible with plans.”
“Emma had a wonderful stay with Hayley! She came home completely happy and content, as well as tired from all the great playtime and exploration. Hayley kept us updated periodically with photos and and always responded within a reasonable amount of time.”

Thank you again Jesse for watching our big boy. I know he always is in good hands and has a blast with checkers. Thank you for all your help!
maria took wonderful care of my puppy while i was out of town! she sent me some pictures over the weekend and was very kind in all our interactions :)
Cambria has been taking care of our big pup for years now. He loves staying with her and her family. He always has a great time and gets plenty of attention! Cambria regularly sends pics of their many adventures and all the friends he’s made. She is also great about scheduling pickup and drop off. It really has been a huge blessing to have Cambria as a second home for our pup.
