“Wendy and her husband were so nice during the meet and great and tour of their vast property. The property had a great country feel and lots of space for our dog to play with supervision. She explained how the dog kennels worked, which were a great size with open air and heated indoor area. Wendy answered all of our questions and was a great communicator before, during and after. Our Golden Retriever gravitated to her from day one. She was boarded from drop off on 11/22 to pickup on 11/29. Absolutely loved the videos and photos she sent during that time showing our girl happy and playing her heart out. Upon arriving back at home our golden had a nice long nap and was back to her normal routine upon waking up, which says a lot. We felt the boarding fees were appropriate and are grateful to have found Wendy. We would highly recommend her and will continue using her services.”
“Kim and David were incredible pet sitters for our dog, Cookie! They instantly put us at ease and treated Cookie with utmost care and attention. When we returned, Cookie was happy and well-cared for, and it was evident that she had been in excellent hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking loving and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Heidi was amazing! She and her sweet family provided our dog with lots of care & attention. We also appreciated the daily photos and updates. Our dog came home happy, healthy & clean. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
“Lindsey & Leland took such amazing care of our two pets! First time we've left our dogs with someone and felt okay about it. Our pups got the VIP treatment, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again!”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“Ashley was amazing! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day of Lou cuddling, walking, napping, and all. She gave daily updates, was flexible with pickup and drop off times as we communicated. She sent Lou home with a goody-bag and invited her back. I could tell Lou felt loved and comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be calling on Ashley again!”
“Mikey is like another mom by now for our two dogs. She is so wonderful with them and makes them feel as though they are in their own house or somewhere loving like grandma house. She had a lot of work to do with one of our dogs (physical therapy) and it was no problem for her. She went out of her way to get them their favorite dog food and a lick mat too. She is the absolute best! My dogs have a blast when they are at her house and I never have to worry about them missing us when we leave them.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Tammy was beyond wonderful!! She sent us pics of our puppy every day and it made us feel so much better! We knew our puppy was being well cared for and loved and doing lots of fun things!!!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
“Sherin was really friendly with both me and my dog. Communication was great, and I loved getting the photos and videos of her while I was busy. It seemed like my dog had a great time and was really well cared for—I’d definitely recommend Sherin! Thanks so much for caring for my dog!!!”
“I was so thankful to leave Molly with someone who was kind, communicative, and trustworthy. We were visiting from another state and Hannah made my old pup feel immediately comfortable.”
“Many thanks to Travis and his family for giving Artie a great deal of attention to keep him happy!!! Every time after staying with them our dog loves to sing that is his favorite activity after having a great time. Before meeting Travis, we used to be reluctant to board Artie for longer than one day. Recently, we let ourselves to go on a 10-day remote trip without concerns. As always, it was a great pleasure to see Artie’s smiling face on the beautiful pictures sent by Travis and after coming back to find our dog in a good mood and well taken care of.”
“Roxie had a blast on her overnight with Carolyn and Sarah. And we had a night away without worrying about anything. We knew Roxie was safe and well taken care of. It was a bonus that they had a new puppy so Roxie had 24 hours of non-stop play! I highly recommend them. Thank you!”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”

About: “I genuinely enjoy working with all types of animals and take great care to understand their individual needs and comfort levels. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with your cats so you can feel confident and at ease when they’re in my care.”
About: Cats aren't just "easier" than dogs—they're complex, perceptive creatures who notice everything, especially when their routine is disrupted. My approach to cat care is rooted in understanding that cats thrive on consistency, respect for their boundaries, and someone who actually pays attention to their subtle communication. I've cared for cats of all personalities over the past 13 years—from the social butterflies who greet you at the door to the shy ones who need days to warm up, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I don't rush the relationship. I let cats come to me on their terms, and I've learned to read their body language so well that I can tell when a "hiding" cat is stressed versus just observing, or when a change in litter box habits signals something more serious. What I bring to cat care: ✓ Medication administration – pills, liquids, injections, subcutaneous fluids, eye drops, ear medications ✓ Special dietary needs – timed feedings, prescription diets, food puzzles, picky eaters ✓ Litter box expertise – yes, I actually care about litter boxes! Multiple boxes, special substrates, and monitoring for health changes ✓ Senior cat care – arthritis management, kidney disease support, comfort-focused care ✓ Shy or anxious cats – patient, calm approach that respects their need for space ✓ Medical monitoring – recognizing early signs of illness, URI symptoms, behavioral changes that indicate pain ✓ Multi-cat households – managing dynamics, separate feeding schedules, preventing resource guarding ✓ Interactive play sessions – not just food and water; I engage cats with play appropriate to their age and energy ✓ Grooming assistance – brushing long-haired cats, nail trims if your cat tolerates it I treat your home with respect—plants watered, mail collected, and your cat's environment kept exactly as they like it. You'll get regular updates (including photos if your cat cooperates!) so you know they're content and cared for. If you have a cat who needs more than just someone to "dump food and go," let's talk.

We are blessed to live on a heavenly bit of land (40 acres) with woods, ponds and creeks. It truly is a bit of paradise. We love animals here and thought, "Why not share our blessings with the critters of our community?" If you need care for pet so they are not alone all day and dont want them caged in kennel all day please give us a call! We have a fenced yard if your should need it and plenty of space for them to safely explore. I am available all day to help with the difficult potty training of some of our tiniest fur babies:) I look forward to meeting you!
About: Hi there! My name is Autumn and I am a 33 year old certified veterinary technician! I've been around animals all my life and have worked in many capacities such as humane societies, vet clinics, grooming salons, daycares, and boarding facilities and I ran my own animal rescue for 7 years. By choosing to me to watch your pets, you are choosing comfort and safety with a RECOVER CPR certified technician. Boarding kennels can be terrifying for many animals and if you have a special needs animal, this can be even more worrisome. With us, you know your pet is getting whatever specialized care and socialization it needs while you're away. I have cared for many animals near the end of their lives as well and take careful concern for those needing specialized care so you can go out of town without worrying about your pet, even with illness, medications, or very particular needs. I am a full time veterinary technician, so I have the ability to take dogs to work if needed. We spend days off hiking and making sure they get the exercise they need. I have a fenced yard to keep everyone safe. They are always on leash and I have the ability to crate everyone if needed. I have a lot of experience managing different dog behaviors.
“Abby took fantastic care of my senior cat! What a lifesaver as I just moved to the area. She was very sweet and loving with him, kept in close touch and sent daily pictures and videos, and was completely trustworthy. She will be my first call if I need help again!”
“Cheyenne did a great job taking care of our cat “Leo” while we were gone. She answered our request promptly and came the same day for meet and instructions. Thanks to her our plants stayed alive while we were gone in the almost 100 degree heat because she did some watering as well and we really appreciated that. Leo seemed well taken care of when we returned.”
About: All my life I have had a pets in my home, I grew up with my mother working as a veterinarian so we had everything ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles and birds, therefore, I am not shy or timid around any animal and I know what I’m doing. I am new to the area but I have pet sat multiple times for other families in the past weather that be staying at their house or just stopping by every now and then and even just dog walking, I’m experienced with it all! I am willing to go above and beyond for your pet and can work with any of their or your needs. I’ve just moved to the area to live with my boyfriend. We leave in mid January for 6 weeks on a trip but until then I am fully available to help in any way needed especially through the holidays! I would say my best asset is my experience dealing with senior pets. In the past 5 years I’ve dealt with 3 senior pets and given them the extra care and attention needed to help them stay comfortable and happy in their old age.
“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals basically my whole life, I’ve dog sat for many friends and family. I have a 10 year old pug I’ve had since she was born and a 7 year old adopted lab/pit mix who are my fur babies! My whole neighborhood knows me and my pets from walking around the neighborhood! My pets and your pets will be spoiled with treats (if allowed) and tons of cuddles and loves! During the summer I have a little kiddie pool set up for the dogs to cool off in! I do have a late pick up policy, I charge 10$ more if you are more than 30 minutes late to pick up your pups. Let me know if you have any questions! I currently am not working, so I have a ton of free time! I am also a PTA student and start back up in the fall part time I always make sure to clean up any messes the animal makes and make sure they are always in a safe environment and never go hungry!
“From when she came out and did our initial meeting with the animals, I knew she was going to be a great fit on taking care of the animals. Our cats don’t warm up to new people quickly & they were instantly friendly. She did daily check ins on them. Always super thorough, played with the dogs and gave the kitties treats. I think our animals are actually disappointed we did not come home bearing treats after having an awesome pet sitter all week. Haha. I highly recommend Alexandrea. She did great with our crew. We’ve got two dogs and two cats. Age ranges from 1 year to 13 years old. She even did some light cleaning so we didn’t have to come home to hair covered floors.”
About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.
“Alissa was so awesome and took great care of our kitten Phoebe. She was great at sending updates and photos and her communication was fantastic and quick. I felt so at ease leaving our baby over the long weekend with her and would happily do so again!”
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
About: Hello! I have been a cat lover for my whole life. I have also owned cats of my own for the majority of my time on earth. I am familiar with their many personalities, attitudes, energy levels based on age, as well as care dependent on breed. I have two kitties of my own now, and they are literally my spoiled children.

“EXCEPTIONAL!!! Highly recommend! Our baby pug puppy, Moon absolutely loved her camp Mikey time & cannot wait to return! We didn’t have a care in the world while on vacation at Silverwood; knowing how well-cared for she was. Mikey is a natural with dogs & treated Moon just as she would want to be treated -with a high level of care & compassion! Appreciated how well Mikey communicated & how genuine and kind she is too!!!”

About: I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, basically all of the furry friends! We've had dogs and cats my whole life (from puppies and kittens to grumpy old men dogs). I've taken care of many of my friends and families dogs in my home and in their homes. Summer hours can vary but someone is generally home to give pets plenty of attention and potty breaks. I’m working 4 nights a week while my husband works 5 days a week and my 12 year old kiddo is on summer break. I have six acres with trails for walking your dogs! I have an old, friendly dog plus two dog savvy cats. I do not have a fenced area but will leash walk the dogs (or no leash at owners request). I have hard wood floors and stairs that may not be ideal for tripods or aging senior dogs (unless they’re used to that). I no longer have a kennel, but if you bring one and want your dog kenneled I can do that. Your pup will enjoy lots of pets, snuggles, play time both indoors and outdoors and of course treats (as approved by pet parents)!
About: I have taken care of all pets of all ages since I was a child. I have experience with puppies to seniors with special needs. I am currently a self employed dog groomer and have 4 dogs of my own. I train and show an Old English Sheepdog. I am flexible so fitting in visits and walks is super easy to do! I have experience with training and dog behaviors. I can crate my pets or yours if needed. I have split fenced backyard and a large outdoor kennel. I believe in positive reinforcement and boundaries. I respect dog behaviors and special needs.
About: I've had a love for animals since I was a kid and have previously fostered for the animal shelters because it brings me joy. I have 2 small fur babies of my own and I babysit my daughters miniature Schnauzer puppy during the week days. I work from home so my schedule is relatively open. I'm active so we enjoy walks and playing on our 12 acre property (during the summer). Our fur babies are never left unattended and we do keep them on leashes when they go outside on our property. During the winter I spend time spoiling our fur babies with lots of love, snuggles and indoor play time. I have 2 friendly small dogs (Arlo and Aveena) who love play dates. Our home is close to walking trails and we have plenty room for indoor activities.
About: Over the last 5 years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs and have done a bit on Rover as well. I’ve had my own fur ball for over 3 years now and he is my world. I love the connection and love we can share with dogs, no matter the shape, size, breed, or gender. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! When I do work, I don’t start until 3pm so we’ll have the whole morning. Along with dog-sitting, I have done a lot of house cleaning in the past so I know how to leave a house better off than I found it. I also have a super friendly border collie/lab mix that loves to play with other dogs!
“Abby was amazing with Charlie! He loved going to her house for day care, got along well with her dog, Julia, and they had fun adventures every day. He would come home and just sleep. I will definitely use Abby in the future.”
“Best experience we could have expected!! Lindsey & Leland and their children were excellent with Jessie Jessie was very content and happy at their home. I was sent a photo and numerous messages during the day on how Jessie was doing. I would definitely leave Jessie with Lindsey & Leland for daycare in the future!!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling through the area and had an activity planned where we couldn’t bring our dog. It’s hard to trust a stranger with our beloved pet but she made us feel at ease with a phone call first and then allowing us to visit her home to drop him off. We would definitely request her again if we are ever back in the area and needed pup care.”
About: I have experience with dogs of various shapes and sizes—Chihuahua, Shih-tzu, Bull Terrier, Pit bulls, Akita, St. Bernard, Airedaile, to name a few. I also have experience caring for other animals like cats, chickens, ducks, goats, etc. Just show me what you need done and I’ll get it done. I’m here because I absolutely adore animals. I’m a caring and compassionate person and I hope to give fellow pet parents a sense of relief as they look to this community for care and services. I am a responsible person, with a relatively laidback lifestyle. I won’t be out late and I won’t leave your dog alone for long periods of time. I have an extremely close bond with my own dogs and see them as important members of our home. I will treat your pets the same way. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, but to house sit, I will need internet access. In the afternoons I may need to leave for a short period (2-3 hours) to spend time with my family. I like to care for your pet the same way you would. I prefer that your pets feel like it’s just another day. As a pet owner myself, I understand the nerves that come with entrusting your pets to another person. I aim to alleviate that stress and anxiety as much as possible— for you and your pet!

“We were in a pickle! We drove from Black Diamond WA to Elk Point ID and thought our dog would be ok in a hotel room while we attended a wedding. Our Yorkie is very spoiled and wasn’t having it! Carolyn saved our butts last minute and watched him whole we went to the wedding. Frank had fun and was just fine when we picked him up. Well cared for home with a fenced yard. Thank you so much Carolyn!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our elderly dog for the day. Your kindness and attention gave us real peace of mind, and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Madison was wonderful! From the moment we met her, we could tell our dog was in great hands. She has such a welcoming, genuine, and caring personality, and it was clear she truly loves dogs.

Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.

But I am the pet sitter for my family and friends so I’m use to the change of environments. So if your pet has cute quirks and unique schedule don’t worry I am totally on board. I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind: your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after your home just as carefully: mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that lived-in presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.

“Wendy and her husband were so nice during the meet and great and tour of their vast property. The property had a great country feel and lots of space for our dog to play with supervision. She explained how the dog kennels worked, which were a great size with open air and heated indoor area. Wendy answered all of our questions and was a great communicator before, during and after. Our Golden Retriever gravitated to her from day one. She was boarded from drop off on 11/22 to pickup on 11/29. Absolutely loved the videos and photos she sent during that time showing our girl happy and playing her heart out. Upon arriving back at home our golden had a nice long nap and was back to her normal routine upon waking up, which says a lot. We felt the boarding fees were appropriate and are grateful to have found Wendy. We would highly recommend her and will continue using her services.”
“Heidi was amazing! She and her sweet family provided our dog with lots of care & attention. We also appreciated the daily photos and updates. Our dog came home happy, healthy & clean. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
“Lindsey & Leland took such amazing care of our two pets! First time we've left our dogs with someone and felt okay about it. Our pups got the VIP treatment, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again!”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“Ashley was amazing! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day of Lou cuddling, walking, napping, and all. She gave daily updates, was flexible with pickup and drop off times as we communicated. She sent Lou home with a goody-bag and invited her back. I could tell Lou felt loved and comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be calling on Ashley again!”
“Mikey is like another mom by now for our two dogs. She is so wonderful with them and makes them feel as though they are in their own house or somewhere loving like grandma house. She had a lot of work to do with one of our dogs (physical therapy) and it was no problem for her. She went out of her way to get them their favorite dog food and a lick mat too. She is the absolute best! My dogs have a blast when they are at her house and I never have to worry about them missing us when we leave them.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Tammy was beyond wonderful!! She sent us pics of our puppy every day and it made us feel so much better! We knew our puppy was being well cared for and loved and doing lots of fun things!!!”

“Sherin was really friendly with both me and my dog. Communication was great, and I loved getting the photos and videos of her while I was busy. It seemed like my dog had a great time and was really well cared for—I’d definitely recommend Sherin! Thanks so much for caring for my dog!!!”
“I was so thankful to leave Molly with someone who was kind, communicative, and trustworthy. We were visiting from another state and Hannah made my old pup feel immediately comfortable.”
“Many thanks to Travis and his family for giving Artie a great deal of attention to keep him happy!!! Every time after staying with them our dog loves to sing that is his favorite activity after having a great time. Before meeting Travis, we used to be reluctant to board Artie for longer than one day. Recently, we let ourselves to go on a 10-day remote trip without concerns. As always, it was a great pleasure to see Artie’s smiling face on the beautiful pictures sent by Travis and after coming back to find our dog in a good mood and well taken care of.”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”
“My 2 dogs were very happy there and came home and just as they left they spent a week there with Rebecca. She is very kind and loves all the animals. Highly recommend her! I will be using her again! Thank you so much for reliving the stress of leaving.”
