“Okay first let me just say how nervous I was leading up to dropping of my baby boy (lol). Paris answered my 1,000 questions leading up to the drop off. I appreciated that. So the day of drop of was "effortless" she focused just on Jax to give him time to "explore", after that she updated me often with pictures and let's just say " NOT SURE IF THIS DUDE MISSED HIS MOMMA" as much as I missed him. Once I knew he was comfortable and slept all night in his crate, I knew he was good. I would 100% book with Paris AGAIN, AGAIN, and AGAIN!!”

Since I work from home, there’s always someone around to provide companionship and ensure your pet is never left alone for long. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend stays with ease. Pets who come into my home become part of the family, surrounded by kindness, attention, and a whole lot of love.

I ask that all visiting pets are house trained, friendly, and up to date on vaccinations, flea, and tick prevention. Please also bring your pet’s bed, toys, and comfort items to help them feel at home.

I highly recommend Katie!”

“Cassie took wonderful care of Bodhi for the week! She was communicative, attentive, knowledgeable on dog behavior (especially how to handle a loose dog approaching them and an encounter with a goat). She took the time to meet with me before I left to ensure her and Bodhi felt comfortable with each other and she knew the routine. She was adaptable to an emergency change and handled it all in stride. I would most certainly recommend Cassie to anyone needing care for their pet.”
