“Brooke was so sweet and communicative! Our dog seemed to have a really great stay with her and looked very at ease in all the pictures. Honey was really happy and calm when we picked her up!”


“We had something come up last minute on a Sunday and needed to be out of town overnight. We usually board at the vet, but of course they were closed so I looked on Rover. Payten was able to take him that day and even within just a few hours. I felt very comfortable leaving Benji with Payten once I met her. She is super sweet and made sure to ask all the questions regarding his care. She even sent me a few pictures of him while we were away. I'm guessing he had tons of fun and was more active than usual because when we got home he wanted to do nothing but sleep. The only thing to note is she does have a toddler in the home. He done great with our Benji and Benji loves playing with kids, but if your dog does not like kids, this might not be the best option for you.”


“Mallory, you were more than I expected. She is so kind, took such wonderful care of my shy guy, Lenny. She loves your furry babies like her own, and her kiddos are wonderful at helping. They all just loved Lenny and were so understanding and patient with him. He's prone to hiding in new places, she was able to get him out safely. She helped me with some tips and told me about an awesome product for worms and other pests that works, I was and still am so grateful. She is quick to respond, has a very calm and sweet personality. I read several reviews before I decided, and all of them were right. I will be returning and Lenny came home happy, feeling good and cared for. Thank you Mallory, and tell your littles I said thank you! You are definitely someone I will continue to trust with my fur babies safely and happiness. Lenny says hi and he misses you guys! :)”


“Gerrard was so nice to take care of my little dog even while she was taking medication. He was very caring and attentive and responded quickly to messages. It was nice to receive the pictures throughout my dog's stay as well. Definitely recommend and will rebook if I go somewhere again!”


“Very patient with my 2 1/2 year old border collie who didn't have a lot of interaction with other dogs. She made special arrangements for him so he could have his own space and not feel overwhelmed!”


“Nella is fantastic! She took excellent care of Jax who is a 45 pound energetic lap dog and can be a lot to handle. She kept in great communication with me and is very kind and great to work with.”


“Kaitlin was amazing! She sent photos and updates and I knew our pups were having a blast! She has great set up for the dogs in her care and our fur babies had a great time playing. They came back so exhausted from their fun and I’m not sure who had a better vacation-them or us!”


About: I have trained my German Shepard on my own very well. I go on 3-5 dog walks a day. I go over verbal and non verbal commands daily. It's is an all day thing right now since this is what I love. I walk my dog all the time, many times a day and we even go to the park or the river to swim. I can crate the dog if needed. I have a fenced yard where my dog likes to play with others. I am home all the time so I will be there always with your pet. And plenty of furniture for them to lay on as well as sleep all day if they want.

“Heather was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal with our baby boy, Dobby! He is still a pup and recently adopted by us… so we knew he would need extra love & care. & that’s exactly what heather provided. She sent pics and updates all the time & communicated exceptionally. I will be using Heather again and again & I would recommend her to anyone else as well. Thanks again, Heather!”


“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”


“Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Jennifer and her family are beyond great! Our Stella is always excited when we arrive at their house. They take such good care of her. Highly recommend!”

“Mariah is awesome! One of my dogs is slower to become comfortable around new people. Mariah was patient and understanding and was able to get this dog to feel comfortable in a short amount of time. My other dog loves everyone and Mariah was no exception. The updates from Mariah were awesome too. Enough for me to be comfortable with their care and well being, but not so many that I wasn’t able to enjoy my mini vacation. Based on the pictures, I think my girls had a great time. I recommend Mariah and plan to book with her again.”

Rowan B.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Rowan take care of our beloved corgi, Alister, while we were on vacation. From the moment we handed over the leash, we knew Alister was in the best hands! Rowan was not only responsible and trustworthy, but he truly went the extra mile to make sure our pup was happy and loved. He took Alister on plenty of fun walks, sent us the sweetest pictures and videos along the way, and kept us updated so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was doing great. Alister clearly adored him, we’re not sure who was happier when we got back, us or the dog! If you're looking for someone caring, thoughtful, and amazing with animals, look no further, Rowan is a total gem. We’d trust him again in a heartbeat!”

Austin is fairly new at this and he met all of our needs. His house was very neat and he had a fenced in backyard. Austin was very friendly to my husband and I and our dog seemed very welcomed in the house. We ended up getting back sooner from our trip than expected and he was very accommodating to meet us His house was easily accessible just North of I-44. Will will definitely use him again when traveling South.
