Jean took great care of Pepper. She was easy to communicate with and gave us updates on how she was doing. She has a great fenced in yard which gave us peace of mind that Pepper was safe when outside. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services again.

About: Welcome! ✨ My name is Eve, and your fur babies will feel right at home here 💛 I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently live on a farm in Makanda with my partner, where we share our home with horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, five friendly farm dogs, and two farm cats. Our animals are well-socialized and love meeting new furry friends and people alike. Your pets will have plenty of space to play and explore, with a fenced backyard and lots of open acreage to enjoy safely. We take daily walks around the property, provide lots of love and attention, and enjoy sending photo updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel connected while you’re away. No worries if your fur babes can’t come stay with us — I’m also available to travel to you and care for them in the comfort of their own home while you’re away ✨ I treat every animal like family and strive to create a calm, loving, and comfortable environment for each guest 💛 I work from home, mostly available everyday of the week. I can check on your pet throughout the day for walks or simply for hang time. If needed, I’m able to provide animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I’ll always ensure that your fur babies are safe and given adequate attention! I love to give periodic picture updates while going on walks or during play time.

I was traveling through the area with my 4 legged son Ruger and had a noodling tripped scheduled last minute and needed a sitter for him. Stephen was quick to respond and willing to hang out with Ruger for the day. I had an unforeseen incident which caused me to need to push the pick up time out a couple hours and Stephen was very understanding and flexible!

I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
