“Greta was absolutely amazing! They took the time to meet my dogs beforehand, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in their care. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with messages and photos, so I knew my pups were happy and well-cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”



“Melissa took the job short notice. She went above and beyond taking care of my 2 Pomskies. She worked with them to help us fix some of their problem areas, and she walked them every day. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for them. We will keep her in mind for future overnights, walks, and drop ins. Thank you for all your help Melissa!”


“Tee was absolutely fabulous! She was attentive and responsive and our pup just loved her so much!!!! She was respectful and always sent us photos and updates. The house was clean as a button when she left, like no one had even been there! I just can’t say enough good things about her! We will definitely be using her again! Definitely book her!!!”


“I really liked Tonia as soon as I met her and so did my dog Eddie. I was gone for four nights and when I came home everything was as I left it; most importantly my dog. Tonia seems to be a sweet gal experienced in dogs. I will definitely request her for future trips.”

“Aubrey is just wonderful with our pups! From the first meet & greet, our Dobermans felt comfortable with her and liked her immediately. Aubrey is attentive, considerate and kind and we’re so glad we found her! Thank you Aubrey for giving Rusty & Roxie great care when we’re away. It’s comforting to know they’re in great hands!”


About: I am a retired RVT aka animal nurse. I worked at MU for 6 years in their ICU/ECC department and their shelter medicine department. I also have grown up on a farm with many farm animals. So I can provide care for inside and outside animals. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 15 years old. I’ve ridden horses for most of life as well. I am well versed in medications and health issues. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I am available at anytime to provide love, support, and care to all your furry friends. If you have medications that need to be on a schedule just let me know! I will be happy to keep you informed during my stay to ease your worries. I can provide care based off of your needs and your animal needs. If you have a senior that needs extra support and medications, I know all about the worries related to that. I have many years of experience with working with all ages. I have taken fear training over the years. I work with a German Shepherd Rescue for many years. That has allowed me to learn about hyperactive dogs who need a lot of mental stimulation. I am willing to help give medications even if you are home and need help! Just let me know!

“Nikki is a wonderful dog/house sitter! She was prompt with communication while we set up the meet and greet/during our trip, sent a message to check in to confirm our booking prior to our trip (we booked with her long before our trip), and sent daily pictures and messages! When we met with her, I instantly knew she would be a great match - she is kind, had a calm voice/demeanor when interacting with our dogs, knowledgable about pet care, punctual, and asked questions/took notes during our initial visit. Our home was just as we left it, and our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were out of town. I highly recommend Nikki and would not hesitate to book with her again! Thank you for treating Charlie and Rosie with such love and care while we were away!”

“Tara was Great!!! She watched our Newfoundland and our daughter's deaf and blind aussiedoodle. She kept us updated and of course with lots of pictures. When we got home we could tell they were well taken care of.”


“Michelle was great taking care of all three of my girls at our house. They don’t usually care for boarding, so I am very happy that I was able to find someone that could watch all three of them. Will reach out again for our next trip!”


“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve boarded dogs in home and have gone to others houses for stays and for potty/walk breaks. I love to make pups feel comfortable and safe during a families trip away. I work from home so your pup will have 24/7 supervision and will get as many potty breaks/ walks as needed. This goes for boarding or home visits! I go on 2-3 long walks a day with my pup and give him lots of time to run. Your baby will be well taken care of and walked!

I have a puppy who would love company and my schedule is quite free just have classes for two hours on tuesdays and thursdays. I have a fenced yard and a playful pup to keep yours company.

Conor was wonderful!! Not only did he give my dogs snuggles and all the pets, he made sure everyone was happy and fed! He was extremely timely and ensured we had all the pictures and updates that we could possibly need! We can’t wait to have him watch our fur babies again in the future!
