“Alisha and her family provided excellent care for our girl while we were away. We could not be more pleased with how well they cared for her including the ball sessions that she loves so very much. Alisha sent updates with pics and videos. Devi was very happy staying with their lovely family. We highly recommend Alisha and look forward to the stay. Thanks again for everything!”


“Frances is the absolute best person to take care of your dog. Loving, caring and fun. Our dude was so happy staying with her for 20 days....a long time for a pup to be away, but Frances made it fun for him and gave him all the scritches he needed. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Frances?”


“Benny had a blast running around their fully fenced large backyard. Thank you both for spoiling our boy while we were away. I know he looks forward to his next doggie stay!”


“Cannot recommend Dennis & Lynn enough! They took amazing care of my pup Finnley, provided frequent updates, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy! I felt completely at ease while they were watching Finnley and will definitely be booking with them in the future!”


“First time Charlie has stayed with Tobi and he loved it. Tobi is very laid back and easy going and made Charlie very welcome. We had a little message or picture from her every day. No hesitation in recommending Tobi - we've already booked a second stay for Charlie with her. 5 Stars!!”


“Heather (and her daughter;) ) gave so much love and care for Edmond and Harvey while I was away! The pics and little stories were such a treat to get while I was on a work trip missing them. They ate well, played, and slept very very soundly after I picked them up which always means they had a great time. Can’t thank you enough, Heather.”


“Jena is amazing! We have two standard poodles with individual issues: our sweet boy is a spoiled little prince who has only been boarded once, and it stresses him out, and our rehomed girl is afraid of new people and crowds. Jena was so good with them, very soon our girl, Oola, was her new best friend, and soon her children's friend too. Jena's kids are wonderful with the dogs too, and Jena sent lots of photo updates — and her skills as a photographer are excellent. She followed our instructions to a 't,' and we feel confident to leave our babies with her anytime. Jena goes out of her way to accommodate, but more than that she has a calming, and very 'present' presence.”


“My dogs looked like they really enjoyed it at Charis' house. She is great with updating how the dogs are doing and really, my dogs now are energetic so I think being outside a lot really helped. I live in an apartment and I'm sure they hate that.”


“My pups had a fantastic time! I have a senior pup who needs to be watched so she doesn’t slip on the floors and just needs that extra love, and she was cared for so well. And my young pup was able to get lots of play time in. Danielle was great with communication and sending lots of updates and pics (which I love!). Highly recommend her and will come back again in the future.”


“Nathan and Roxana are really take good care of my dog, they took him outside play. Made big dinner and breakfast for him. My dog and their dogs has been good friends already. Definitely use them again and recommend to others. Very very devoted people.”


“Lola has stayed with Luisa 3 times now. Louisa is very passionate about dogs and it shows. We receive fun message updates and pictures. If you are looking for someone that will love your fur baby as much as you do, choose Louisa.”


“Really appreciate how attentive and caring Miranda was after our dog had a medical emergency. She communicated with us often and provided lots of photos and videos! It put our minds at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of.”


“Morgan was amazing with penny! She was able to help us out last minute when our other boarder canceled. I highly recommend her to anyone needed boarding or dog care needs! Very clean house and professional to work with!”


About: Growing up on a farm in Texas, I've been surrounded by and caring for animals my entire life, which has given me a unique and comprehensive understanding of their needs. daily pet care routine involves potty breaks, meal times, exercise that’s fun (play time!), & cuddles + love!! Every pet is treated like family and taken care of like my own. In my home, my approach to pet care for dogs and cats centers on creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. I prioritize their individual needs, ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. For dogs, this includes daily walks, playtime, and consistent positive training reinforcement if needed, while for cats, it involves providing enriching activities like interactive toys, scratching posts, and quiet spaces for relaxation. Cleanliness is key, so I maintain tidy feeding areas and litter boxes! I also live on an island with a fenced yard so safety is huge and you can feel comfortable here.

“Nikki and her family did an amazing job watching our dog for a few days. I was provided updates throughout the stay and kept well informed of how our pet was acclimating. I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone needing to board their dog for a few days.”


“Gae and her husband Steve were absolutely amazing with our pets, Romero (dog) and Luna (cat). As soon as we walked in the door, our sensitive little rescue dog gravitated towards them immediately. My husband and I were completely thrilled, and a little shocked to be honest, at how easily Romero transitioned into their care. I think he could tell these were loving and gentle souls and he was safe. Luna was also super comfortable in their home and spent her time watching nature from the top porch. We went on vacation without any worries and that was a comforting feeling for us. When you meet Gae and her husband, you instantly know these are great people. I would recommend Gae as a pet sitter and will definitely reach out if we need pet care again!”


“Jill was an amazing caretaker for my pup. She gave continuous communication throughout holiday trip with photos and videos. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
