“Janine was great!! We got lots of updates, photos and videos. She's very responsive to messages. She was creative with getting him to play and engage. It was our anxious corgi's first time staying with someone else and it was an overall great experience!”

“Lindsey is great and treats our dog very good. Lots of walking time and play time. Our dog gets excited to go in the house when we drop him off which tells us he is treated well.”

“Kara and her family were fantastic! We used her for 2 days of daytime dog sitting while I was on a business trip. My husband dropped off and picked up and said he said they were amazing! My doggy was spoiled and seemed so happy there!”

“Our first time with Ashley and we loved her. Our pups came home happy and tired, just as we like it! It is evident that Ashley and her family treated our dogs like family and loved on them just like we do. We will be using her again for daycare and boarding!”

“I can’t recommend Taylee enough! He. She took my dogs in last minute and was absolutely amazing. My dogs instantly loved her and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Reliable, kind, and clearly great with animals—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Crystal is amazing with dogs! She definitely knows her stuff and seems to speak their language. ❤️ After one day of care they came home happy, tired, and even better behaved! I don’t know how she did it!”

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my dogs at her home while I hosted a Halloween party. I knew my old dogs might get scared with a bunch of costumed people at my house. Stephanie took care of them just great and also even managed their fright when I giant thunderstorm rolled in at the same time!”

“Renee was honestly amazing! We had to find someone last minute to watch our dog, Ginny, and she responded very quickly and was able to get us in. She sent us several updates and pictures throughout the day. When we picked Ginny up, she was so happy and worn out from a full day of love and play!”

About: I have had pets all my life, dogs, cats, hamsters, birds. You name it, I have probably had it. I love all pets but especially dogs! I have taken all the dogs I have own to training and love being with them. I own 2 dogs now. 1 is named Koda and she is a full golden retriever and the other is Lucy, she is a Golden retriever/ Lab mix. They are indoor lovable dogs. I believe that dogs are apart of the family, so in my house they are allowed to be on the furniture to cuddled with! I am a stay at home mom and have 2 dogs. Your dogs will be walked (when it is not crazy hot out) Loved on and played with while you are away! I am happy to send daily pictures of your pups if you would like! I have a fenced yard and crates for bed if you are more comfortable with that. I have 2 dogs for yours to play with and 3 kids, aged 10,12 and 14 who love and respect dogs. I love to play fetch with dogs and other games. We even have a small splash pool for the dogs to play in.
“Stephanie and her girls were PHENOMENAL! She was quick to respond to my last minute request, everything was easy to set up, and I felt so comfortable leaving Henry with her! I loved he just got to be outside all day and play with her girls to burn off that puppy energy. My boy slept the entire way home, so they definitely wore him out! Will definitely be using them again next time I'm in town!”

About: Talley’s House has two adults that work from home, two teenage dog loving sons, and two pups, Talley (12+) and Oz (2) that love to meet and play with new friends! We have a great setup for dogs of all types, and we would love to watch your dog(s)! We acknowledge we may not be right for everyone. Please read all the details in our profile to determine if our home is right for you. We work from home - pet care is baked into our daily/weekly routine. A TYPICAL DAY: 6:30-8:00 a.m. interactive playtime (fetch, tug-of-war, etc. ) 8:00-8:30 a.m. morning feeding and rest 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. open playtime - we work while the dogs play. They come in an out freely while we supervise from our workstation. We group dogs as needed. See the safety, trust & environment section for details. 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. treats and training followed by quiet time in kennels 3:00 - 5:00 p.m interactive playtime round 2 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. evening feeding and quiet time in kennels 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. interactive playtime round 3 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. quiet time 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. final playtime and bedtime routine (treats and training) 10:00 p.m. - 6:30 a.m. bedtime in kennels We prefer pickup/dropoff times between 7:00 - 10:00 a.m or 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. so we can devote time to helping the dogs adjust to the environment and their temporary pack. The only thing we need from you at drop off is their food in a ZIPLOC w INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN on it. If needed, bring a small blanket or toy with the scent of home. We do NOT need beds, food dishes, or leash. We engage in activities that stimulate their prey drive (fetch, tug-of-war...), play drive (playtime with Talley, Ozzy, and other guests), and work on training behaviors a couple of times a day, as appropriate. They are out of the kennel interacting with dogs and people most of the day. In order for your dog to have a great experience, they need to play well with other dogs and be comfortable spending time in a kennel. SAFETY & TRUST: We have been trained in behavior recognition to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our guests. When we have multiple guests, we group dogs as needed (by age, size, "fixed" or not, temperament, and/or energy level) to optimize the experience for each guest. We feed them in a kennel to ensure food isn't shared and give them quiet time after meals to ensure they have adequate time to digest before playing again. We expect our guests to be up to date with their vaccinations. When a new dog arrives give them time to explore on their own, then we gradually introduce them to other dogs to assess temperament and compatibility. That is the reason we prefer to limit the pickup and dropoff windows so we can devote that critical time. Please see availability for more info on times. ENVIRONMENT: We have a dedicated space both indoors and outdoors for the dogs. Inside we have an air-conditioned apartment dedicated to the dogs. They have a couch, area rug, background music, and their own 4x4, 4x6, or 5x5 kennel. We reserve a corner for a workstation where we work during the day. Outside we have a fenced area for the dogs with turf and toys. We setup a canopy for extra shade on hot sunny days since we don't have natural shade from trees yet. We wet the turf down on hot days to ensure it's comfortable for the dogs as well.
About: My husband and I have both loved animals our whole lives. We currently have a dog and two cats of our own. My husband works from home and I am a nurse. Although I’m mostly a stay at home mom now so your pets will get a lot of attention. My husband and I are both home most of the day. We have a dog that is very friendly and always down to play with new dogs! Our pets are like our kids. We have one human baby but we joke that we actually have four kids if you count our two cats and one dog.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and always been the main person to take care of them. I love taking my dogs on walks and hanging out with them! I love all animals and I think they deserve the best care that one could give! I am used to being around dogs/cats of all ages from puppies to pretty old dogs I currently do not have a job due to just coming back from college in West Virginia, so I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced yard and I have two dogs of my own that would be able to keep your pups company if needed! They are extremely friendly, however I can also keep them separate from my dogs if requested.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 7 years old. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from a 6 week old puppy too a 15 year old senior. We’ve cared for many breeds. I am a stay at home mom with a 10 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. I have plenty of free time to care for, walk, and play with your dog(s). I have a loving pit bull who is a gentle giant and two cats. I have a large fenced yard. My home is very small but we make do. I also have two children who love animals. We have a black house cat and a white Maine Coon. I am a firm believer that you should care for your animals the way you care for your children. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your your furry four legged baby(s). And my kids will play fetch with them for hours on end.
About: I have a 2 year old cowboy corgi named Bubba that I’m obsessed with. He loves having other dogs over to play with! We promise to take good care of your pup! I work from home doing customer service Monday-Friday full time. So if you need your pup to be boarded it just watched for the day, I can do it! Bubba would also love it. I have a little side yard that is enclosed, so there is a place for them to play outside and go to the bathroom. I let my dog go out often. I keep my apartment clean with lots of dog toys and treats!
