“Charlie always seems to have such a nice time at Chris and Dan’s place! They keep me updated on how he’s doing and have been super helpful in taking him in without a lot of notice!”


“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”


“Absolutely fantastic! We have had some not so good luck with sitters lately, and Barbara was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares for the well being of our pups, and the updates were plentiful. Thank you. We will return to you again.”


About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

“Brynn was welcoming and reassuring when we dropped our dog off. She asked good questions and seemed very comfortable with our high energy dog. Bryan provided messages when we asked about Bailey. She was very prompt in responding. I would use Bryan as a boarder again.”


“Christy was great with our pitbull! She can be a handful and doesn’t like other dogs but Christy was so flexible and it was so good to know that she was well taken care of while we were out of town. We would definitely choose her again!”


About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.

About: I have many years of cat and dog sitting including my own pets and friends and family as well some neighbors as well I love it I have open availability and love to spend time with pets at all times and would like to experience new adventures with some new pets I have a fenced yard and a spare room to keep them separated if necessary from my own pets we have small children that are good with animals

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.
