“Allison was great! She sent us texts and pictures, and we could see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. Our dogs were welcomed like part of her family. We were very happy with her thoughtful and caring nature.”


“Aishea was nice and welcoming to Charlie. He felt comfortable immediately with her. Charlie was very well taken care of. Kept me updated of how he was and sent picture and videos. Will definitely recommend. Thank you Aishea!”


“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”


“Amanda and her family took care of Butters very well. the family is welcoming and caring. Butters had a wonderful time. definitely recommend. Thank you so much for taking care of Butters.”


“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”


“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”


“Biscuit thoroughly enjoyed his visit with Shanagay. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates to let us see how much fun he was having. Biscuit romped and played with Shanagay's little dog Cash and the pics were adorable! We'll definitely call on Shanagay's dog sitting services for Biscuit again and again! Thanks so much for doing such a great job.”



“At first I was nervous since it was my first time using the service but I had to travel out for six days of business conferences. Steve and his wife and son are awesome. They even had my guy in the pool teaching him how to swim. I got tons of pics every day and texts on how he was doing. Towards the end I was worried if my dog would want to return home with me!!! These people are awesome amazing giving souls. I am thankful to have found them and to know there are people out there like this. Sent from my iPhone”


“Megan was communicative, friendly and shared photos of my girl while I was away. She enabled my dog to get acclimated before introducing her pets which was great for my timid older girl. My pup was in a great mood when I picked her up. Highly recommend.”


“We were so happy with Teresa. She boarded our 1.5 year-old puppy for a few days—our dog looked so happy and comfortable within minutes of arrival and was exhausted when we picked her up (always a sign of a good time). Teresa was great at communication, sent daily photos of our puppy, and was very communicative via the app. we also really loved that Teresa had other dogs (both hers personally and others that she was boarding) so our dog really got to engage and play actively. We would definitely choose Teresa again!”


“My 2 greyhounds just got back from another great stay with Karina. They could not wait to see her when we dropped them off! We love seeing her daily updates and we know they are getting well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend.”


“Kim watched our two cats, Oliver and Ivy, for our long weekend away. It was my first time as a cat mom boarding my babies so I was nervous. Kim was incredibly warm and welcoming, was attentive to their food and sleep preferences, and took great care of our kitten who recently got spayed. Kim sent the cutest updates and pictures throughout the stay, and overall was an excellent communicator and caretaker! We will be booking again for our next trip in December, and I would book her again in a heartbeat if we end up needing a sitter again.”


“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”


“MJ was great with my golden & kept me updated throughout his stay with her!! She was flexible & from my first meeting with her made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her!! Would highly recommend!”


“Chris is the perfect dog sitting. She was caring and intuitive to Charlotte’s needs. Charlotte’s care was like a doggie vacation. She had walks, playtime and a new friend to play with. Charlotte was made to feel comfortable within Chris’ home. Also, I enjoyed glimpses of her visit via photos/ videos. It was a great experience. Thank you, Chris”


“Shelby was great and took good care of my little guy. She noticed I was nervous when dropping him and took the time to walk me through her process to help calm my nerves.”


About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.
