Kerri was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my dog Remy which I was very thankful for. My girl is extremely nervous and Kerri was great with giving her space to get comfortable. Remy loved playing with her dogs as well! She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed on how my pup was doing throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend!

Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.

Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!

John has been caring for my Yorkie for several over night stays. Despite my dog’s anxiety she always settles in to staying at his house. She has made herself at home by taking over his dog’s bed. We will be using him again!

Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!

About: I offer doggy day care in a safe, loving home with a large fenced-in yard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. I have experience caring for shy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, so I understand that every pup has different needs, energy levels, and comfort zones. My two friendly dogs help create a welcoming, social environment for dogs who enjoy companionship. I focus on making each dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while providing owners with peace of mind through dependable care and updates Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I work full time during the week, so I make sure pets get loving care, exercise, and attention before and after work. Since I have weekends off, I’m able to provide lots of extra time, play, and personalized care then. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. Pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I also have a large fenced-in yard for outdoor play and two friendly dogs for social interaction if your pet enjoys companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I understand every pet is different, so I always adjust my care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind through dependable care and updates

Alex was a great sitter for our pup. This was our second time leaving him elsewhere I can 100% say I’d rather leave him with Alex than the doggy hotels! He gave me updates everyday and had a big yard to keep him active and entertained. Had a pup of his own so my dog had a friend to play with too. 10/10 recommend!

We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.

About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.

First time my dogs have been to a sitters home; actually never been in anyone else's home but mine. They had a great time playing with the other doggies at Catherine's home. They were exhausted when I picked them up from doggie day care. Highly recommended!

I left my dog with Paul for four nights and he was fantastic! He lives in a quiet neighborhood, very peaceful with a great yard. I got plenty of updates and photos of my girl while I was away. She was clearly comfortable and at ease at his house, her tail was wagging from the moment I dropped her off until I picked her back up! He and his wife are very capable, clearly love animals, and take whatever precautions necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Next time I go away I will be calling Paul back up for her to stay again! Absolutely recommend, your pet will be in great hands.
