About: I've had companion dogs for most of my adult life. Usually two dogs at a time. My oldest dog was a Red Healer cattle dog who eventually became blind and deaf, living to be almost 19yo. I've also had Australian Shepherds (2) and Border Collies (2) and enjoy the smart dog challenge. I consider my experience well rounded from training puppies to caring for older dogs who have special needs. I love them all like they are one of a kind and deserve the best this life has to offer. Thank you in advance for considering me as part of your pet's care! I work during the day M-F close to home. Home on the weekends. Daily walks are provided with additional play time and potty breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and usually accompany the dog outside so they are not alone in the yard. Play time also occurs in the fenced yard space. Dogs are free to roam the house and be part of our family while boarding but I also offer containment to an area of the house or crate if needed.
“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”

“Erica checked in on our cat while we were out of town for a few days—she was punctual, communicative, and our cat clearly enjoyed playing with her! We will definitely contact Erica again when we need somebody to watch our cat.”

“Olga was absolutely fabulous with our two high anxiety dogs! She was communicative and incredibly nice. She did her research on prong collars that we primarily use with one of our dogs and was attentive to both of them! Definitely utilizing Olga, and her amazingness again! 🙃”

“Whitney went above and beyond taking care of our dog and giving her the best care when we were out of town. I would recommend Whitney to anyone looking for amazing pet care.”

“Loren is such a big help checking in on Gary on unexpected days of work I haven’t planned out. She does a wonderful job and Gary sure seems to love hanging out with her!”

“Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.”


“Shelly was great! She had excellent communication including being flexible with our initial meet n’ greet, letting me know she has arrived at my home, and sending me pics of my pups playing in the yard. She is professional, personable, and I feel very comfortable trusting her with my pups and home.”

“Alejandra was amazing with our cats and was also kind enough to bring in packages from outside and help us with another favor! She also always sent great pictures of our cats! Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets.”


About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.
“Thank you Teagan. She's the best and so reliable and our Yoshi warmed up to Teagan right away. Teagan helped us feel comfortable with leaving our baby with her. Thanks again. ♥️😁”

“Such a great experience. They were happy to do a meet and greet before the "big day" They took really good care of our pack and even spent time outdoors with them playing. Thank you for making our wedding day less stressful!”

“Natalie was amazing! She was so kind and flexible with our plans. She took wonderful care of our pet and supplied terrific pet photos from her visits. Thank you, Natalie!!”

“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”

Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.

Brianne provided exceptional care for my dogs during her drop-in visits. She is so kind and caring, reliable, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. My dogs get along with her so well and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to check in on their pets!

Meghan watched our two cats for a week and I could not recommend her enough! She took the time to write cute, witty updates and took plenty of photos (per my request). She was wonderful working with my extremely shy cat and had him running up to greet her when most sitters never see him the whole time. Meghan is reliable, friendly and went above and beyond gaining our cat‘s trust. I’m so happy I found someone who made traveling a little less stressful!
