“Beyond pleased with Andy and Cassie❤️ They took Amazing care of our energetic spoiled lab so we had no worries while we needed to be away. Our Moses got plenty of attention with their delightful family and they communicated with updates and pictures daily to set us at ease❤️❤️❤️”

“Noble seemed very happy and well cared for! Sandy let me know he was doing great during his stay and he got to play and hangout with another dog they were watching. The backyard and deck are amazing for dogs like my Aussie.”

“Definitely will be calling Dan anytime we need our baby well cared for. I appreciate getting updates on how she's doing and she loved playing with his dog. Great space to run and play.”


“Took my pup on short noticed, she verified a few questions she had to make sure Rocky (my dog) was a good fit. That tells me she is approaching boarding in a very mature and appropriate way for dealing with all the dynamics of dogs. Gave solid updates and communicated very well. Thank you!”

“Marianne is truly a dog lover ❤️ Lexie obviously remembers her(and, of course, Tom and Maggie). I couldn’t be more happy that she was available to watch my girl while was in the Cities. I would give her more stars, if I could! Thanks, Marianne 👍❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Very happy with the care Charlie received!! He is a rescue puppy with separation anxiety so can be a handful as far as not being able to be left alone! Thanks so much and will book again!!!”

“Our girls had a great day staying with Dan and playing with his chocolate lab "Finn" Dan was available on schedule and provided us an update during the day. The pups enjoyed the nice fenced yard. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Kimberly was absolutely fantastic with our pointer, Nola! She responded quick, sent lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout the day (which I love!!!). Nola came home tired and happy as can be. I know she is looking forward to going back for day care at Kimberly’s!”

“I am so grateful for Marianne! I was in a bind and needed somewhere for my dog to stay while traveling through and desperately reached out to her at almost midnight the night before needing service and she was so wonderful to take my little pup for a few hours while I had some work meetings. JUNO was very happy to meet her and went right up to her when we pulled in the driveway. She took great care of Juno and had excellent and speedy communication. Highly recommend her and will be using her again next time I’m in the area!”

“Cheryl was fantastic! She was incredibly kind and patient with our two dogs. “Our boys” absolutely loved her, especially since she took the extra time to let them sniff to their hearts' delight during their walks. It is clear she is a trustworthy person who truly cares about the happiness and well-being of the dogs she cares for. We will certainly be requesting her help again in the future!”

About: Animals have always been the center of my world — not just pets, but family, healers, best friends, and some of life’s purest companions. Caring for animals isn’t something I simply do for work; it’s who I am at my core. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently chosen the love, loyalty, and connection of animals above everything else, and I truly believe they deserve to feel safe, adored, and understood every single day. I have hands-on experience working in doggy daycare and pet boarding environments, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. From playful puppies to anxious rescues and senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I’ve learned how to create calm, loving environments where animals feel secure and genuinely cared for. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding routines, maintaining safe and clean spaces, and understanding canine body language and behavior. I also have a background in dog training and believe deeply in patient, loving, positive reinforcement-based guidance. I understand that every animal communicates differently, and I take pride in building trust, confidence, and strong connections with the pets I work with. Whether reinforcing routines, practicing good leash manners, or helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, I approach every animal with calm leadership, compassion, and respect. Alongside my pet care experience, I practice Reiki energy healing and naturally bring a calming, grounded energy into the environments I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I’ve found many pets respond beautifully to gentle, peaceful energy — especially those who are anxious, sensitive, elderly, or adjusting to new surroundings. My goal is always to create a space where animals feel emotionally safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved. What sets me apart is the heart I bring into every interaction. I’m deeply attentive, nurturing, intuitive, and naturally protective over the animals in my care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, gentle reassurance, structured care, or simply someone to love them like their own family would, I’m fully committed to providing that. I understand how important trust is when leaving your beloved companion with someone else, and I promise to care for your pets with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing tails wag, nervous pets relax, and animals feel truly at home. For me, this isn’t just pet care — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, healing, and a genuine zest for life and all living beings. Pet care is naturally woven into every part of my daily life because animals have always been my priority and passion. I currently care for 6 dogs, 8 cats, and 1 goat of my own, so my days are already built around structured feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, grooming, cleaning, affection, and individualized attention for each animal’s unique personality and needs. My routine revolves around creating calm, loving, enriching environments where animals feel safe and understood. From morning walks and outdoor time to play sessions, training reinforcement, cuddle time, and evening wind-down routines, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Because I live such an animal-centered lifestyle, adding client pets into my routine feels seamless, intentional, and joyful rather than stressful or inconvenient. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable and emotionally secure. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, energy level, temperament, dietary needs, and comfort preferences so they experience as little stress as possible while their owners are away. I believe consistency, patience, and communication are key. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication routines if needed, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I also use my background in dog behavior, training, and Reiki energy healing to help animals feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally supported. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member and strive to create an atmosphere where pets feel safe, loved, mentally stimulated, and genuinely cared for.
