Savanna and Bryan are an answer to my prayers. I was so anxious to board my pup Winston for a week where he would be locked in a kennel most of a day with other barking dogs. My little dog is only 13 pounds, but he LOVES to play with big dogs as well as others his size. He wouldn’t get this opportunity at a traditional kennel. Savanna welcomed Winston like part of the family and he loved playing with the big dogs and the sweetest kids ever! Vacation is much more relaxing when you know your baby is in good hands. What a wonderful family.

About: I have never been without an animal in my life. I know the anxiety of leaving my babies and now as a retired teacher I can provide that same comfort to your baby if you need to leave them. I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs - if the dogs are good with cats. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier. He is friendly to all humans and animals. I have 4 acres of invisible fence. I can train almost any dog to learn the boundaries. Or I can keep your dog on a long leash when we go outside. We have no kids and have quite a relaxed home.

Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)

Wow, I love Kassie and so does my pup. She shows concern, compassionate, and kind. I was so impressed I told her my pup drank bottled and she bought some for her. She didn't have to do that, but excellent customer service. I love how she kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was so blessed Kassie and her daughter gave my pup so much love. Moreover she, put a little wet good on top of food. I definitely will let my pup stay with Kassie. I highly recommend her. My dog is boche like her owner and Kassie met her princess needs.

Kelsey and Manny are lifesavers! They worked with me to help during a family emergency and watched my anxious cat during this time. They have experience with fostering and I felt so comfortable leaving Ajax with them. They take such good care of their pet guests and are willing and able to assist as needed. My kitty needs meds and wet food and they take it all in stride. Thanks for your help!!

Heather was the absolute best. Her communication was top notch and she took excellent care of the kitties while I had to be out of town for work. I would trust her to watch my pets any day of the week! I will definitely be rebooking with her and her family. Thank you so much Heather you gave me the peace of mind while I was away!

About: Pheonix, my now 9 year old cat is the love of my life. I understand what a cat needs whether that be cuddles during a nap or treats during playtime! Their subtle yet obvious cues of affection is what sets cats apart from any other animal and I admire and appreciate them so much!

About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

About: I like dogs more than I like people. Lol. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born and I adopted my own fur babies. :) I am available most days and can be available for overnights. I am sure that I can make it work! I go out of my way to make sure that all animals are safe and happy. If you have other animals in the house that need to be taken care of I would be more than happy to give them all the lovings as well. I am flexible and open for anything, all you have to do is ask. I hope that I have the opportunity to meet your perfect doggies and kitties in the near future! Pet care is something I am available for all summer and part time in the fall, winter, and spring. I love caring for animals no matter whose they are. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that will keep your fur babies company while you are away. I can easily crate your dog or take them on a walk if needed. I currently have a coaching job and stay home with my kids in the mornings so I am pretty flexible. Otherwise, I constantly take care of my own fur babies at home too. I make sure the pets feel safe by moving slowly and giving lots of pets if that’s what they enjoy. I also will keep your house tidy during my stay!

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve had a variety of dogs my whole life and feel like I have a good grasp on varying temperaments and understand of behavior. I love dogs and have 4 of my own. ❤️ I currently work full time but I’m off and free after 430. I love helping out others and taking care of animals just like they are my own I will follow your guidelines to what your animals routines are and adapt to their space. I will come to you since I have 4 doggos and they are welcoming but could be chaotic based on the age ranges I have.
