“Garth and Tracy were amazing! We were in the area for a family reunion and were struggling with what to do with our puppy for a large part of the day. Garth and Tracy were kind enough to accept a next day booking for us and did a wonderful job caring for Gus. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and we were so relieved to be able to leave Gus somewhere where we did not need to worry about him at all. If we ever find ourselves back in the area or have friends/family that need help with their dog nearby, Garth and Tracy will be our first choice.”

“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

“Our girl Stevie LOVED her daycare visit with Crystal! Crystal was inviting, warm, and friendly with great communication and updates. Stevie got to play, made some friends, and seemed immediately comfortable in Crystal’s care. We’re thrilled to have found such a good fit and are looking forward to booking with Crystal for the holidays. Highly recommend!!”

About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention.

“We love Emily and Jim! They treat my dog as one of their own and my dog loves going to spend the day with them and their family. I leave my dog with them knowing she is safe, in good hands, having fun, and getting plenty of attention. They are also great at giving updates and taking pics. Emily and Jim are both exceptional and trustworthy. We would recommend them to anyone!!”

I have a fully fenced in backyard and dogs will be supervised when playing outside. I’m attentive to the needs of the dogs under my care whether in my home or your home. I am fully insured through pet care insurance. Housesitting consists of one twelve hour overnight period and either one 60 minute drop in visit or if you prefer 2 30 minute drop in visits during the day. If your dog requires constant care beyond this schedule there is an additional hourly fee.
“Jodie is wonderful! We left our 10 month old Lucy with her for an afternoon to make sure everyone (people and dogs) was compatible before leaving Lucy for a week in July. Lucy had a great time and everyone got along really well. Jodie was very caring and interested in getting to know Lucy. We will definitely use her again!”

“Our dog, Bella, comes home happy from Bethany's house. She gets some quality time and play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't get that at home with two old people. Thank you, Bethany!”

About: I've watched dogs of friends and family on and off for the past 11 years. It's been a mix of older dogs, young dogs, large and small. I'm a stay at home mom. Our pets are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time a couple days each week. I have a fenced in yard and friendly pooch with loads of toys to share. Our dog has unlimited access to the yard as long as I am home. A water dish is always out and available. We do have a cat who free ranges around the house, but she tends to make herself scarce when other dogs are in the house.
“Erin was PHENOMENAL with our small cavapoo pup!! She kept us informed and sent a lot of pictures and he was spoiled with love of the time he was with her and the family. She even made him. A little bandanna, how sweet!!! We WILL be back and feel very fortunate to have her help!! Thank you so much!”

I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.
“Perfect, Toby was happy when we came to pick up and stress free. Pictures were sent during his stay and he was tired when he got home. We will definitely request again. Thank you so much for allowing us to drop him off so early.”

“My Golden Retriever puppy absolutely loved his doggy daycare time with Liz and her crew of animals. He came home exhausted and happy from the day's activities. Liz was great about sending photos and videos to keep me updated throughout the day. Won't hesitate to use her again in the future!”
