“Amazing experience! I was very nervous about leaving him but Cheyenne, her family, and her dogs were amazing and Koda had so so much fun! We will definitely be sending him again!”
“Elena was amazing with Ollie. Very responsive and sent plenty of updates. She had Ollie for 9 days while we went on a family vacation and she did very well with our older graint Dane! I would highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of our oldest!”
“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Desha took care of our 2 dogs for a couple of days while out of town and we are so thankful of the great care she provided! She was so communicative and sent photos of the happy pups at bedtime and morning. Her cute kids also gave the dogs a lot of affection and the dogs loved that! I hope to book with Desha again in the future!”
“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Selena was absolutely wonderful! So many pictures and updates. We were so happy with all the continuous communication throughout our dogs stay with her. She is so nice and the dogs had plenty of outdoor time and play with her friendly dog! Would definitely recommend!”
“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”
“Kimberly and her husband are fantastic! They agreed to watch my babies on very short notice and I couldn't be happier with how they were taken care of! The girls had free run of the yard and even got to sleep in the bed and cuddle all night (their favorite thing). I got several text updates/pictures and even 2 printed pictures when I came to pick them up. Kimberly and Steve are total dog lovers and I will be using them often in the future!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Gloria was amazing with my Riley! I contacted her super last minute due to an emergency and she was very willing to accommodate our needs- she even gave him a bath! I cannot recommend her enough. We’ll be booking again with Gloria!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond when watching Monte! We have never boarded Monte with someone we didn't know so we were a bit worried. However, he warmed right up to Kathryn during the meet and greet. The communication was great and she sent us pictures throughout his stay. We had some flight changes that resulted in us having to board Monte an additional night. Kathryn was more than happy and willing to keep Monte the additional night, which eased our worries. When we need to board Monte again, she will be our first choice!”
“Sandra took such great care of my boy, Cash. He was treated like one of her own. I could tell how much she loved him and he loved her. I loved getting daily pictures of him and how happy he was. I highly recommend her and will be using her in future. ?”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”
“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”
“Jason and Brooke welcomed Winston as one of their own. They communicated very effectively and timely. Winston had some stomach issues while we were away and they were so patient and kept us informed on his tummy stuff. We will definitely rebook again!”
“Haley was great with our little nervous rescue pup! She sent updates and reassured us that our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely use Haley again.”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”

“Tiffany took such good care of my kitty! (Katie) She followed the schedule we set and kept me updated with pictures every day. She’s very conscientious and caring and I enjoyed my vacation so much more knowing Katie was in good hands. I came home to a clean house and a happy kitty! 😸 I will definitely ask Tiffany to stay with Katie next time I travel. Thanks, Tiffany, for bringing in those large boxes!! 😳”
“Alicia is dependable, professional and my cats’ best friend. She has made it possible for us to leave home and know that our cats are going to receive the same attention as we give. They literally greet her as if she has never left!”
“Rachael was great! She accommodated us last minute. She was friendly, responded promptly, followed instructions, and sent photos and updates daily. She even checked our mail for us because I forgot to put it on hold. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I would highly recommend Tyler to take care of your pets. He not only fed my cats but also put food out for deer and birds (which i do) while i was away and gave me twice daily updates. I live in a remote area as well. Your pets are in safe and reliable hands with Tyler, i highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them
“Madison was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and respectful of our family and our sanctuary. Thank You for the peace of mind knowing our Kitty was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I’ve had the responsibility of taking care of over 20 pets of my own since I was young. I have a deep love for animals and understand that each dog has its own unique pet care needs. I have the most experience with small dogs as I have one of my own. I am not afraid to work with dogs who pull on leashes. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m a college student but my schedule is very open and flexible. I come home often between class and don’t typically go more than 2hrs away from home. If you have questions you can message me directly I am always open to figuring something out! If a dog is boarding in my house he/she will get lots of loving attention and frequent walks :) I would like to meet the client and pet together for the first time before a service is provided. This way I can ensure the safety and familiarity of both parties, as well as learn about any important information about the dog I may need to know so everyone feels comfortable :)
“Caroline was awesome! She was punctual and friendly. My outdoor kitty had an injured paw that was on the mend, she checked on it to be sure it was still healing. My indoor kitty who is skittish around new faces even came out for some pets the second day! Thank you Caroline for taking good care of my fur babies and putting my mind at ease while we were out of town!”
“Cindy was reliable, responsive and took good care of our house full of cats while we were away. She sent pics and updates and even did a few dishes that were in the sink. We would have her sit again. Thanks Cindy!”
“Heather has taken care of my babies multiple times now and I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to know that she is taking care of them while I’m gone. I love all the details and photos in the updates from her. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure my pets were cared for.”
“Selah did a fantastic job. This was our first time using rover and she did not disappoint. She kept me well informed of messes, updates and earned our dogs trust. She even picked up our trash cans when the wind blew them over. Highly recommend using her to care for your fur baby.”
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

“Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Jax. He had a blast playing with her dogs and made a new friend, Romero. Her kids took to him right away. As labs do, he got muddy and she went over and above by bathing him. She sent frequent pics and videos of him playing. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area again.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages. What sets me apart is that I provide a loving family environment where dogs are treated like members of the family. My home is full of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and we take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering most basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping reinforce routines and good behaviors. My two kids also love dogs and enjoy giving them extra attention and playtime, helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every furry guest. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a safe, loving home where they will receive plenty of attention and affection. 🐾 I am currently in nursing school only 2 days a week and my husband works for a healthcare company from home so someone will always be there for your pup. I treat animals as if they are my own children. I will keep them safe and satisfied while you are away so you can have a peace of mind wherever you go.
About: Spent whole life with dogs and cats. Am owner of service dog and work consistently with him daily; therefore, I can participate in any training your pet may be involved in. I am confident with all pets of all ages and happy to take care of your dogs and cats. I am certified cat and dog CPR/First Aid. I am EKU student on summer break so my current schedule is wide open. I plan to continue offering pet care services when school starts up again in the Fall. I have a large, well-fenced yard for your dog to play in, with a few nice shade trees as well. Love taking dogs for walks and our neighborhood is perfect for walking dogs. Dogs can also come inside to enjoy AC if it’s too hot outside. My dog + I are happy to come to your home also, to care for your pets.
“Selena was awesome with our puppy! She took great care of him, walked him a lot and he got to socialize with her dogs. He was also introduced to chickens and goats, every pups dream! She sent me a lot of pics throughout the day also. I'd highly recommend her!”
About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
“Kayla has watched my senior dog several times now. My dog has massive separation anxiety, and Kayla is great with her. Harley seems relaxed when she gets home, which is usually a good indicator that she had a good day. Kayla is also an excellent communicator.”
About: I have been taking care of pets (as a job) since I was only 10 years old. I grew up wanting to be a vet (until I realized I'd have to put animals down) and decided to just take care of them myself in my own home! :) In college, I actually specialized in canine genetics if that tells you anything about my obsession. I have one Great Dane, for now, who I spoil rotten. I have also had experience training, walking, and grooming pets as well. I don't think I've ever said "no" to taking care of an animal, and that's saying a lot. I'm that person that always gets random emails, calls, and texts asking to watch their pets because of what they've heard. Dogs are my passion, truly, they are my life and get all my love! I'd love to help you out! I will care for your pets as if they were mine, always given top priority and unconditional love! I will only accept the booking if it aligns with what you need specifically :) My favorite feeling and compliment is your pets trust in me. Those words, “he/she must like you” or “they usually don’t warm up to people this quick” is what I live for! I LOVE animals and they know it, so no need to worry about if they’ll feel safe, as I’ll do everything in my power to have them enjoy every minute we spend together!
“She is fantastic. Bandit has never been around dogs and he is a ball of energy, but Madison knew exactly what to do. She sent us amazing videos and pictures. Our boy was so happy there and is completely exhausted. She is most definitely our go to from now!”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Andrew and family were great with Stella! She and Cosmo played together so much they just chilled out the rest of the afternoon. We are looking forward to our next stay!”
About: I have genuine love for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve always loved being around them and caring for them with patience and attention. I have experience dog walking, feeding, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel relaxed and happy. Im going to be a senior this year at Lexington Christian Academy and have a part time job at the Ymca. Im available during the week 4-10pm. I have a big fenced in yard with a small dog and cat. They are both very friendly towards people and pets. always put pets’ safety and comfort first. I carefully follow pet parents’ instructions and stick to each pet’s routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I keep the environment calm, clean, and secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾
About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment.

With me, you’ll always receive detailed updates and photos from every visit, so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to ensure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

“Thank you Tiffany! Not only did you accommodate our last minute request but you were so tolerant of our wary dog and all of his grumbles. I would 100% recommend Tiffany, she is extremely professional, responsive, and provided excellent care for and updates on our animals while we were gone.”
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was a kid. I have worked with and been around a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, fish, ferrets and more. Not only do my own animals rely on me for quality care, I have had the pleasure of caring for other animals while friends and family are away. Currently I am the owner of 4 dogs, 26 chickens and 9 ducks. Every morning before work I make sure all of my animals have food and water, as well as making sure my dogs get all of their daily vitamins and dental sticks. Additionally my dogs get monthly flea/tick prevention and heart worm prevention. Right now this will just be a part time job but I am hoping to expand and make this my full time and only job. Currently I have open availability on weekends as well as morning and night availability throughout the week. Caring for pets is a big responsibility and I take pride in knowing animals will be safe with me. At the beginning of booking with me I would set up a meet and greet to make sure your pets are comfortable with me. After doing so, we would begin services. During services I will make sure to closely monitor your pets, keep them leashed while not in a fenced in area, keep away from road ways and other - potentially dangerous animals. I would also ensure timely medication, feeding, and watering schedules.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie. I enjoy high energy dogs that love to run and play as well as older dogs that just want to play around and be loved on. I’m currently on summer break. I am an athlete at Eastern Kentucky University and have required practices every day but I’m gone no longer than 3 hours per day. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park on site I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.

“Alicia is not just dog walker, she really put in the work to form a fast bond with my pup and is always looking for ways to make or keep her happy and feeling safe. I guarantee it's my pup's favorite time of day when Alicia stops by.”
About: I have been training dogs since I was 12 and sitting for 6 years now. I find the most joy in being with animals of all kinds. My experience doesn’t stop at dogs. I have cared for cats, horses, chickens, ducks, bunnies, fish, and so many more. I am currently waiting for my next training in May 2027. I am excited to fill my time this way in between home improvement projects. My home is not conducive to boarding other peoples animals but I will happily care for them in the comfort of their own home where they are comfortable and have everything they need, while I pour my time and energy into them!
About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. My friends and family have relied on me to watch and care for their best friends during overnight trips and weeks away from home! I’m currently working part time. My schedule depends on my clients needs! I’m usually open Monday through Friday depending on the week. My schedule is first come first serve. I’m willing to work with you to make your pet comfortable! I have a nice walking trail right next to my home to take them to! I also have a friendly little fur baby to keep you animal company. If I am watching your animal in your home, I will make sure to enforce any rules and provide play time with your pets in and outside of the house!
About: I've taken care of friends and families pets for the past 10 years, I've worked in pet retail for more then 9 years. My growth and passion for animals is every evolving I currently work a full time job, so I have 2 rotating days off a week plus off every night. Schedule and times can always be discussed. I have 8+ years of pet education along with nutrition and training, I have more then 40 hour of positive/ positive reinforcement training to help keep things under control.
About: Spent whole life with dogs and cats. Am owner of service dog and work consistently with him daily; therefore, I can participate in any training your pet may be involved in. I am confident with all pets of all ages and happy to take care of your dogs and cats. I am certified cat and dog CPR/First Aid. I am EKU student on summer break so my current schedule is wide open.

My dog + I are happy to come to your home also, to care for your pets.
About: One of the hardest things to do is trust someone to care for your pet, to make them feel safe, and treat them as family members while you’re away. That is the care I strive for with every visit! Because being away from your hoomans can feel uncertain, I provide extra play time and extra love. I also clean up their messes—if there are any, and I’m happy to help with the occasional chore when you have to be away for more than a couple of days! I am also committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care and companionship. I provide clear communication, pictures of your babies with each visit. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!
About: I've taken care of/had the pleasure of sharing my time with the following: dogs, cats, farm animals (horses, cows, chickens, turkeys), snakes, tarantulas and turtles. I've also cared for ill pets/pets with very specific daily routines. My wife and I currently have two loving, energetic dogs (2, 7) and three clingy cats (11, 11, 10). I'm currently very flexible with scheduling as I mostly do contract and-or gig work online. I'm available every day of the week, and generally any time requested. I'll ask questions to determine the level/frequency/type of care your pet requires, and will ask that you're specific in your requests. A meet and greet will be required, barring emergency circumstances.
“Selah has been an absolute blessing to work with. She is kind, reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. From the very first interaction, it was clear that she approaches her work with intention, patience, and compassion. My dog, Sable, was always well cared for and comfortable in her presence, which meant a great deal to me. Selah was respectful of schedules, attentive to details, and carried herself with a warm, trustworthy spirit. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with true care and integrity. God bless you, Selah, and thank you for everything.”
About: I have had animals since I was very young. We have had two dogs and many cats in that amount of time! I often watch animals for my friends or family when they are taking short trips or vacations. With over six years of experience in pet sitting and walking, I've cared for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to senior cats. My services ensure your furry friends receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you're away. Trustworthy and reliable, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind and happy tails. 🐾❤️ I currently am a student with classes three days a week! I will use pet sitting and other services as a side hustle while I am in school. I can care for pets in either my home or yours, whichever you are most comfortable with! Cannot wait to hear from you guys soon!
About: I discovered pet sitting back in the early 90s (pre-internet); I ran across an ad in the newspaper for pet sitters needed for a great lady that had a Pet Nanny franchise. That was the most fun, and most rewarding job. The most amazing thing I did while in her employ was help a Basset Hound regain the use of his legs. One of my twice-weekly duties was to go over to "Kip's house," and perform physical therapy - which was simply moving all four legs in a prescribed way, for a prescribed period of time. I was so skeptical that it could work, but diligently performed the movements. I left for the birth of my oldest son before Kip's therapy concluded, but with all the people Kip's owner had hired to come in and do this consistently over several months, I was delighted to learn that he began walking again. I stopped pet sitting with the birth of my first son. Now that our sons are both grown and gone, and we work from home and my availability is flexible, it's time to jump back in! I grew up with cats, and Labs. And all the snakes, toads, and other things I could find outside. I also love and have owned (and miss) horses. I've also raised Leopard Geckos and had various other reptiles, and snakes. We currently have two dogs, two cats, and a crested gecko at home. I'm available for cat sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Not available for overnights/house sitting, as my babies (husband included) need me. Being a home and pet owner myself, security, attention, and comfort are a top priority. It's vital to me to care for others' pets (and homes) as I would my own. I'm older, and neurotic about proper care and attention. I would love to hear about your routines, so I can know what they expect, and try to replicate as best I can.
About: I’ve had the responsibility of taking care of over 20 pets of my own since I was young. I have a deep love for animals and understand that each dog has its own unique pet care needs. I have the most experience with small dogs as I have one of my own. I am not afraid to work with dogs who pull on leashes. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m a college student but my schedule is very open and flexible. I come home often between class and don’t typically go more than 2hrs away from home. If you have questions you can message me directly I am always open to figuring something out! If a dog is boarding in my house he/she will get lots of loving attention and frequent walks :) I would like to meet the client and pet together for the first time before a service is provided. This way I can ensure the safety and familiarity of both parties, as well as learn about any important information about the dog I may need to know so everyone feels comfortable :)

“Amazing experience! I was very nervous about leaving him but Cheyenne, her family, and her dogs were amazing and Koda had so so much fun! We will definitely be sending him again!”
“Elena was amazing with Ollie. Very responsive and sent plenty of updates. She had Ollie for 9 days while we went on a family vacation and she did very well with our older graint Dane! I would highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of our oldest!”
“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Desha took care of our 2 dogs for a couple of days while out of town and we are so thankful of the great care she provided! She was so communicative and sent photos of the happy pups at bedtime and morning. Her cute kids also gave the dogs a lot of affection and the dogs loved that! I hope to book with Desha again in the future!”
“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Selena was absolutely wonderful! So many pictures and updates. We were so happy with all the continuous communication throughout our dogs stay with her. She is so nice and the dogs had plenty of outdoor time and play with her friendly dog! Would definitely recommend!”
“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”
“Kimberly and her husband are fantastic! They agreed to watch my babies on very short notice and I couldn't be happier with how they were taken care of! The girls had free run of the yard and even got to sleep in the bed and cuddle all night (their favorite thing). I got several text updates/pictures and even 2 printed pictures when I came to pick them up. Kimberly and Steve are total dog lovers and I will be using them often in the future!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Gloria was amazing with my Riley! I contacted her super last minute due to an emergency and she was very willing to accommodate our needs- she even gave him a bath! I cannot recommend her enough. We’ll be booking again with Gloria!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond when watching Monte! We have never boarded Monte with someone we didn't know so we were a bit worried. However, he warmed right up to Kathryn during the meet and greet. The communication was great and she sent us pictures throughout his stay. We had some flight changes that resulted in us having to board Monte an additional night. Kathryn was more than happy and willing to keep Monte the additional night, which eased our worries. When we need to board Monte again, she will be our first choice!”
“Sandra took such great care of my boy, Cash. He was treated like one of her own. I could tell how much she loved him and he loved her. I loved getting daily pictures of him and how happy he was. I highly recommend her and will be using her in future. ?”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”
“Jason and Brooke welcomed Winston as one of their own. They communicated very effectively and timely. Winston had some stomach issues while we were away and they were so patient and kept us informed on his tummy stuff. We will definitely rebook again!”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
“Emily is always fantastic with our two dogs! We have one senior dog and one really active pattie mix, and she loves them both! We have already booked her for our next trip...10 days away!!”
“My pups were happy and exhausted when I picked them up from all the playing they did on the farm. Victoria was very sweet and knowledgeable. My 11 month old dachshund had really regressed in potty training and since Victoria is a certified trainer, she was able to give me some helpful tips on how to reverse that. I plan to keep in touch with her for private training sessions as well in the near future!”
