Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bud

“Destinee was very flexible with a last minute booking for a family funeral. She sent updates very evening and our dogs had a great time! We would definitley rebook with her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and how well she and her family cared and took care of my Joey.would definitely use her again and she deserves 10 stars”


“Barron had a great time! He seemed so happy in all of his pictures and Rubal and her family treated Barron like one of their own. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”


“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”

“Julie was wonderful! She was so good with our mini goldendoodle Molly. We got frequent updates and photos to show us that all was going well. It helped us to have a fun and relaxing trip to know that Molly was being taken care of so well by her. Her home and fenced yard are very nice, and she followed our directions well about Molly's care. She is very pleasant. We will contact her again for dogsitting. A+ job! Thanks, Julie!”

“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”


“We had the pleasure of having Sheila watch our dog, Leo, this past weekend, and we couldn’t be more pleased! From the moment we met, Sheila was warm, professional, and attentive to Leo’s needs. She took the time to learn about his routine and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for throughout his stay. Sheila provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Leo was in great hands. When we returned, Leo was exhausted and happy, a true testament to the excellent care Sheila provided. We highly recommend Sheila to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“Christine was perfect for our foster dog, Boo. Boo can be leery of new people but after an initial standoff 🙃, Boo did great and loved to cuddle with Christine. Christine’s love of animals is obvious and I could not have asked for a better carer for Boo while I was gone. I am thrilled to have found her and would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Susan and Kenny are wonderful people!! Our anxious dog was very comfortable staying with them! I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter! We received frequent updates, including pictures and videos. We definitely have a new regular pet sitter!”

“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”

“Nichole and her family are AMAZING! I was super nervous about leaving our pup, not many understand the pitbull breed. Nickie got her playing with other pups and gave her plenty of attention. We couldn't be happier. Thanks again, we'll be booking again soon!”
“Kamela and her family took great care of our German Shepherd, Lucy. They were exceptional in their communication and care for our dog. We will definitely will be re-booking with Kamela!”

“Kate and Josh were responsive and attentive to our two pups the couple of days they were boarding. They were great hosts and send pics daily of the dogs frolicking in the back yard and having a good time. Will definitely plan on taking our dogs there again when we have to go out of town.”

“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”

“Our dogs loved staying at Lauren’s! She took great care of them both and always sent pictures and frequent updates. Our dogs loved playing with her dogs and running in her fenced in yard. We will definitely rebook!!”

“Sara was amazing! She sent lots of pics and updates. She was very responsive to my messages. I will definitely be a repeat client. My pup was so happy with her and her dogs. Thanks sara for taking such great care of my sweet boy!”

“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”

“Nicole was so sweet and she gave our dog such a nice home away from home while we were out of town. She was very responsive and was willing to work with our schedule which was very helpful! We got pictures of our dog and she looked happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Nicole as she is very friendly and easy to work with!”

“Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and made sure the dogs were happy and well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to two happy pups. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!”

“Courtney was absolutely wonderful with my cat Twan Twan. Before my trip, she even took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet so she could get familiar with my home and get comfortable with Twan Twan. That thoughtful gesture gave me so much confidence before I left. She was incredibly caring and thoughtful during every visit. She made sure he was well taken care of, spent quality time playing with him, and sent detailed updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.”

“Megan is amazing with our cats. Gives them lots of love and is super flexible/willing to help with other things around the house that we may have forgotten about before leaving. Highly recommend her for your next trip!”


About: Here’s a clean, natural blurb that sounds genuine (not robotic) and hits everything cat owners care about: ⸻ I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly love and respect them for who they are. I understand that every cat is different—some are cuddly and social, while others are more independent or need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ve cared for all types, from short-haired to long-haired, and from affectionate to more reserved personalities. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always take the time to learn each cat’s routine and preferences so they feel safe and stress-free. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, and I’m comfortable handling daily care like feeding, litter box cleaning, and giving them the space or attention they need. I’ve also helped my parents create a safe space for local stray cats, especially during the winter, which has given me even more appreciation for how to care for and look out for cats in all situations. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first with me.

“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”

About: Families, friends, and neighbors have been trusting me with their pets since I was young. I have proudly developed a reputation for being a dependable and compassionate pet care taker, specifically dogs and cats. I offer Drop-in Visits and Dog Walking as to ensure that your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment. I provide care to dogs and cats of any breed, size, and age. I have experience with puppies and high-energy dogs, senior dogs and cats, and pets with special needs. As a plus, I have experience in light housekeeping, basic brushing and bathing, administering medications to dogs and cats, and performing safe handling and restraining if necessary. I consistently strive on forming positive bonds with you and your pets. My schedule is open and flexible. I can care for your pets pretty much anytime of day. I can drop in on your pets according to.your request and pet's schedule. I try to make your pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible while I am in their environment and before you return to your lovely pets. I pay attention to your pet's body language for signs of anxiety, stress, or fear. I try to ease your pet's discomfort according to their personality, comfort styles, and your suggestions. I carefully place your pet's food in their bowl as to ensure they feel comfortable with me handling their food. I also never hastily take your pets outside. I make sure the area and weather is safe, and your pets feel safe enough to go out. If you have a fence, I always check that the fence is properly locked.

“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”


About: I have been around cats for many years and have begun taking care of them in the past 3. Cats are dignified animals that set their boundaries firmly. Their homes are their safe area and that must be respected. Patience and understanding is what I bring when visiting so that I can perform any housekeeping with minimal disturbance to their mood. It is all at their pace and their openness.
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
About: ’m a dedicated dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 10 years and have been around animals since childhood. Because my own dog has medical needs, I’m very comfortable providing attentive, specialized care when needed. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities—whether that means playing fetch, tug-of-war, going on walks, or just relaxing with some snuggles. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I work for Center Grove full time during the school year and can check on your fur babies before and after school. During the summer, I love to fill my time outside and caring for animals. At my house, my dog and I spend lots of time together enjoying the sunshine, watching movies on the couch, playing catch and going for walks. I want to do the same for yours. If your puppers loves to play or just wants some good belly rubs, I’m here for all. I am also happy to feed, treat or medicate your fur babies if need be.
“Cole was put in a situation that could have ended badly for all involved. The neighbors let their dog roam knowing it’s history as an aggressive dog. Cole was quick thinking and handled the situation very well. His communication and quick action saved the day. I can’t say enough about Cole and his professionalism and communication”


“Trish arrives on time and pays special attention to her ward. Libby is happy when I return home and I am comforted by knowing I can depend on Trish to show up and take amazing care of my baby.”

About: I've owned cats and care for other cats for 19 years of my life. I clean litter boxes feed/water administer medications. My neighborhood cats coming running when they see me or my car!

“We needed a dog sitter at the last minute for our 4 large dogs for a weekend and Emma responded quickly and was able to come over and meet the dogs later that day, despite the short notice. They immediately took to her and acted like she was part of the pack. Emma took great care of them and was very communicative throughout the weekend, writing us very detailed visit descriptions and sending lots of pictures. She made our first time using this service very easy. Would definitely use her to check on or sit for our dogs again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bud

“We did a trial run for boarding with a day of day care and I could not be happier. Destinee treated the dogs like they were her own. Let them do nothing all day long, which is what they do best. This is the right fit for our dogs, to be in a loving home environment. Thank you!”

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.
“Kamela was fantastic with my puppy! Her and her family accepted my baby as their own and I never had to doubt her safety or well being. Will definitely be using in the future and 100% recommended ☺️”

“Nichole and her family are amazing! I was lucky enough to find them right as I moved here when my puppy decided he didn’t like being crate trained anymore and I could no longer leave him home when I went to work. Ford gets excited every morning to go play with them (& their dogs) and is always tired out which is great! I always receive videos/pictures and she always reaches out with any concerns. She works with my ever changing schedule which I always appreciate as well.”
About: Hey there! I am Jen. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. Love being active outdoors, going for walks, and making new animal friends. Pets bring so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they have just as much fun (and comfort!) while you’re gone- as they do when you’re home. I work from home, with a fenced in yard. I often just keep the back door open, unless it's winter... so they can explore and potty as they wish. I think animals do better with company so we really like the social aspect of this app where animals can be together with each other
“I dropped off Oz, our 6 year old, curious, mischievous and playful Husky-Keeshond, at Laura’s house for daycare and as well a surprise overnight boarding and he loved it!! He was good and tired from playing all day with other dogs and walking in the park and to top it all off the photo updates on the dog’s activities throughout the day were awesome!! My wife and I just wish we had found out about her sooner!! We will definitely consider her our first option the next time we need daycare, boarding or or the next time Oz just needs a day of fun!”


“Pete always enjoys staying with Sheila! I know he is well taken care of. I think he has even finally almost learned how to retrieve a ball...due to another dog at Sheila's house being obsessed with this game. Pete also enjoys watching for squirrels in the backyard.”

“Another great day of daycare with Miss Lauren! She is so sweet to Brody and Jethro when they need to spend a day with her, and she's a pro at managing their different personalities while making sure every dog gets love and attention. Couldn't have left them with anyone else!!”

“Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.”

“Pete was excited to stay at your house and he looked very happy to sniff around the yard and meet one of your dogs. It is really important to have a fenced dog for a beagle so that is helpful. Pete always likes dogs and kids. I'm sure he will be back sometime in the future. Thaks fo taking Pete kinda last minute!”

About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”

About: I love pets. I had my Golden Retriever since he was 10 weeks. Now he is 7 and half. Very healthy! I take him to dog park everyday. I am full time home, so I have lots of time to play with your dog. I can walk them, play with them, take them to dog park. I have a fenced yard that your fur baby can play during in the day. My golden retriever is very friendly and happy to play with other dogs. I usually walk them twice a day besides the dog park, one in the morning and one in the evening. There would be two 1- 1 1/2 hour play time in the backyard too.
About: I offer dog daycare, grooming, and overnight boarding, and I even have a certified dog trainer onsite to support puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and pups who need extra guidance. With years of hands-on experience, I personalize every stay to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. My facility is conveniently located off 135 and Stop 11 and features a one acre fenced in yard with four separate play zones for safe outdoor fun. I also have a large indoor play area for rainy or cold days, so your dog gets exercise and enrichment no matter the weather. And here’s what truly makes us different: I don’t believe in nickel-and-diming pet parents. • No extra fees for administering medications • No extra charge for treats throughout the day (with your permission) • No add-on fees for snuggles, playtime, or extra potty breaks • Everything your dog needs is included—love, attention, fun, and care Your dog will enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for you, and an experience that goes above and beyond traditional boarding. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., I run a full doggy daycare program where your pup is supervised and engaged all day long. Boarding is available 7 days a week, and all boarding dogs enjoy access to daycare at no extra charge. Your dog’s care, comfort, and safety are built into every part of our daily schedule. Safety and trust come first. My facility is designed to give every dog a secure, enriching environment. We have multiple fenced yards that allow us to separate dogs by size, temperament, and play style to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident. An experienced team member supervises the dogs at all times, and we closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and group dynamics throughout the day. Indoors, we have a clean, climate-controlled play area for rest, enrichment, and safe play during bad weather. Every pup is cared for with the same attention, structure, and love we give our own dogs, because their well-being is our top priority.
About: Animals have also been apart of my life since I was young. From dogs and cats to rabbits! I love them all. I have experience dealing with a wide range of breeds as well. I have babysat dogs of family and friends while they were away. I am a dog mom myself and enjoy caring for animals! I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time during the week to love on your dogs! For boarding I am available after 5pm. I have a fur baby that loves other dogs and playing! They will have a good time together! I do not have a fenced backyard so daily walks are always fun for my dog. Lots of room in the house to cage your pup if necessary (cage must be provided).

About: I have two dogs of my own, Kirby 3 years old (mix of we aren't sure) and Jerry 8 years old (Yorkshire terrier) and I have many foster dogs in and out of my home as I work with a local rescue to save dogs from the shelter and unwanted homes. People say I'm an "animal person" because I like all animals...even snakes :) I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times of the day and each day of the week. I usually prefer dogs to have a harness rather than a collar just for safety of the pet. I will enjoy getting to know the pets in my community! Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the care I can provide.

“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.

About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently home from college for the summer. I do not have other responsibilities, so caring for your pet is my top priority. I am free every day to be able to feed, walk, and play with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their everyday routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions you provide.
About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old.

When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.

During breaks I dog sit/walk full time as well as babysit. As a dog owner myself, I know how important our fluffy friends are. Safety is a top priority and I will ensure your pet is safe and happy!
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
About: ’m a dedicated dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 10 years and have been around animals since childhood. Because my own dog has medical needs, I’m very comfortable providing attentive, specialized care when needed. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities—whether that means playing fetch, tug-of-war, going on walks, or just relaxing with some snuggles. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I work for Center Grove full time during the school year and can check on your fur babies before and after school. During the summer, I love to fill my time outside and caring for animals. At my house, my dog and I spend lots of time together enjoying the sunshine, watching movies on the couch, playing catch and going for walks. I want to do the same for yours. If your puppers loves to play or just wants some good belly rubs, I’m here for all. I am also happy to feed, treat or medicate your fur babies if need be.
About: I've had animals my entire life. Dogs and cats! I take care of humans in the ER, and want to take care of my preferred kind of babies (fur babies) on my days off! I'm an RN! So I am working 3-4 shifts a week which leaves plenty of time to take care of fur babies on my days off! I will take care of my clients fur babies in ways that are preferred by the client! If that's stopping in for play time, snuggles, walks, etc! I can do it all!

“Destinee was very flexible with a last minute booking for a family funeral. She sent updates very evening and our dogs had a great time! We would definitley rebook with her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and how well she and her family cared and took care of my Joey.would definitely use her again and she deserves 10 stars”


“Barron had a great time! He seemed so happy in all of his pictures and Rubal and her family treated Barron like one of their own. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Where do we even start? The experience with Brooke was nothing short of amazing. Our Golden Retriever had a terrible time at a kennel in the past, which he clearly did not enjoy. For our next vacation, we chose Brooke and Bryan, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They sent us daily updates complete with photos, were highly responsive during the booking process, and, most importantly, it was evident that our dog was well looked after. He returned home clean, calm, and even seemed a bit disappointed to leave! We can't recommend Brooke and Bryan highly enough.”

“Julie was wonderful! She was so good with our mini goldendoodle Molly. We got frequent updates and photos to show us that all was going well. It helped us to have a fun and relaxing trip to know that Molly was being taken care of so well by her. Her home and fenced yard are very nice, and she followed our directions well about Molly's care. She is very pleasant. We will contact her again for dogsitting. A+ job! Thanks, Julie!”

“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”

“Susan and Kenny are wonderful people!! Our anxious dog was very comfortable staying with them! I would definitely recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter! We received frequent updates, including pictures and videos. We definitely have a new regular pet sitter!”

“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”

“Nichole and her family are AMAZING! I was super nervous about leaving our pup, not many understand the pitbull breed. Nickie got her playing with other pups and gave her plenty of attention. We couldn't be happier. Thanks again, we'll be booking again soon!”
“Kamela and her family took great care of our German Shepherd, Lucy. They were exceptional in their communication and care for our dog. We will definitely will be re-booking with Kamela!”

“Kate and Josh were responsive and attentive to our two pups the couple of days they were boarding. They were great hosts and send pics daily of the dogs frolicking in the back yard and having a good time. Will definitely plan on taking our dogs there again when we have to go out of town.”

“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”

“Our dogs loved staying at Lauren’s! She took great care of them both and always sent pictures and frequent updates. Our dogs loved playing with her dogs and running in her fenced in yard. We will definitely rebook!!”

“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”

“Nicole was so sweet and she gave our dog such a nice home away from home while we were out of town. She was very responsive and was willing to work with our schedule which was very helpful! We got pictures of our dog and she looked happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Nicole as she is very friendly and easy to work with!”

“D is absolutely wonderful. She took perfect care of our pup, sent photos and videos, and was very responsive. She ensured that Luna followed all of our rules so she did not forget her training, while also showing extra care and attention so she did not get lonely. Our pup just loved her and it was evident that she felt right at home. We will definitely be returning.”


“Brooks did an amazing job with Maverick. At first he was unsettled but Brook was so patient with him. He settled down fairly quickly and appeared happy in every picture and video she sent us. I appreciate Brook and her family for taking care of our dog. I would 100 percent recommend Brook if you need someone to take care of your animals. Tha k you Brook.”

“Alisa was amazing!! She sent tons of pictures loving on our dog! She also took him for walks and he got plenty of outdoor play! Her house was so clean and smelled amazing, which is difficult when taking care of multiple pets! Plus, she is so nice and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Alisa and we are already booked for our next stay with her!”

“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”
