“This is a very welcoming, pet loving home. I especially like that she doesn't care for many pets at the same time. Your fenced backyard is a real bonus and my dog loves being able to run and play in the snow. My dog is family and she spent a week at Barbara's and it was by far the best boarding experience we've ever had.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Kiirsten was a great communicator before and during her care of my old, blind dog. I was confident that the dog was in a good place, which made my vacation stress free. Easy drop off and pick up. The experience couldn't have been better.”
“Leaving Mabel with Brooke for the first time felt so comfortable. She treated Mabel as her own and Mabel was happy to have the company of her dogs. We received updates along her stay and you could always see Mabel looked quite at home. Brooke’s updates let us know Mabel was loved and cared for while we were away. So glad we found Brooke!”
“Hyeyoon was wonderful! She followed our dog’s daily routine to a tee and asked such thoughtful questions. We received pictures and updates each day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Howie and his family were great! Super responsive and flexible and, most importantly, Lola seemed to have a wonderful stay. Will definitely re-book with him in the future!”
“We are so glad to have found Saniya to watch our dog, Blu. She and her family took such good care of him. We received updates and pictures from her regularly. Definitely recommend her.”
“Thank you Kristen and Nels and family for taking great care of Pearl! Great communication and updates throughout her stay. I look forward to having her in their care when future trips or stays come up. Thanks again!”
“Angela went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Luna, was well taken care of and was concerned about her experience from start to finish!!! She was incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed due to weather and willingly with little notice kept her an extra day making her transition home so much better for her. Angela is a great communicator and sent regular updates with pictures. She kept Luna on her routine and Luna came home happy and healthy! Best pet sitter ever!”
“Julie & Chad took wonderful care of our Lancelot this weekend! He was so happy when we picked him up, and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay! They communicated and sent photos during the weekend, which we so appreciated!”

“Rikki and her family were wonderful! I got my pup pictures daily.She had great walking. I will definitely book again! Thank you so much taking care my pup!”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“As a nervous dog mom, I was anxious about leaving Sully with someone new while I was away on a work trip. Thankfully, Charlie’s calm demeanor and clear understanding of dog behavior put both Sully and me at ease right away. Throughout the trip, Charlie was quick to respond whenever I checked in, which gave me peace of mind. I also really appreciated how thoughtful he was in making sure another dog he was sitting would be a good match for Sully—it’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he watches. I’d definitely book with Charlie again!”
“Maggie had a WONDERFUL time at Mckenzie’s! I got pics and updates and she was so well taken care of. We will definitely be leaving Mags with McKenzie again!”
“The videos of my dog Martha are a highlight whenever she stays with River. She was so evidently happy in the big backyard playing with her friend Drake. She is always charging into Rivers house at full speed ready to have her adventure so a barely get a chance to say hello!”

“Megan was perfect! She gives off good and kind vibes and you can tell she is a true animal lover. She took care of my kitties for the weekend. When I returned home, you could tell they had been well taken care of...not stressed or needy for attention when I got home. Megan even took care of refilling my outdoor bird feeders! I highly recommend...and will for sure ask her to sit again!”
“I was very excited having Molly watch my Boris. My cat doesn’t like pretty much anyone, but I think he did warm just a bit to her! She took great of Boris, and my home. Will hopefully be able to use again!”
“Anna was great with our boys. We could tell they were well taken care of and her detailed Rover cards went a long way while we were out of town! We would certainly recommend her and book with her again!”

“Rachel was great with my cat Kiki! She gave her lots of treats and quality time even though my cat’s not the nicest. She also left thorough updates, highly recommend!”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll provide patient and attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh food and water, play with them if they enjoy interaction, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions and can provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our two kittens while we were out of town! We loved all the photo updates with our kitties playing and them snuggling with her after mealtime. Came back home to two happy kitties. Highly recommend Tori to care for your animals.”
About: Animal lover here, excited to care for your pup! I have experience with many breeds and can't wait to share adventures on our time together! I work 8-5 mainly with a shorter workday Friday. I have weekends off and I am looking to spend some time keeping your animals company. Typically don’t have a long lunch, but can potentially be flexible if needed. Grew up with dogs around me and have plenty experience watching peoples pets. Love following list of needs so they feel most comfortable when they aren’t with their parents!
About: Although I can't take your cat into my house (my dog loves cats and also doesn't know how to play with cats) I would love to come over and give it the love and attention it misses when you have to be gone. I have had cats and have also taken care of my grandcats
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. I have 4 cats and she makes sure to shower them each with attention. She is the most thorough, responsible, responsive, and sweet cat-sitter I’ve ever worked with. She handled giving my cat her medication like a pro. She is great about seeing to their litter. But what I love most about Kayla cat-sitting is her updates and photos she sends me (so thoughtful!)! I know my cats are safe and well taken care of with Kayla. She’s just the best!”

I felt completely at ease knowing Chip was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Joe again soon!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dogs through pet sitting, including looking after my mother’s 14-year-old senior dog for two weeks while she was traveling. These experiences have given me strong confidence in handling dogs of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I currently accept only one dog at a time so I can provide my full attention and ensure a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that every dog has unique routines and preferences, and I carefully follow each owner’s detailed instructions to make sure their pet feels secure and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on attentive, patient, and loving care. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your dog. During the holiday season, I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. My family enjoys spending quiet days together, so pet care easily fits into our routine. We’ll make sure each pet gets regular walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Boarding at my home: My family will spend most of our time at home, so your pet will enjoy calm company in a quiet and cozy environment. We provide clean spaces, regular outdoor breaks, and lots of affection to help them feel like part of the family.
“Jen was awesome with my dog. She has a system for introducing dogs which worked very well for my dog. She also sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel my dog was in good hands and was safe. I would recommend her 100%”
“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”
“River is amazing! If you're considering hiring her, do it. Zeus and I have been going to her for 2 years and the bond they developed was great! Unfortunately we moved so we will no longer be able to use her services, she'll be missed!”
“My dog Louie had the best day at Emily’s!! Emily works from home and keeps Louie active during the day. He loved playing with her dogs and the long walk he got! Louie will definitely be back!!”
About: The Best Part of Both Our Days After 20+ years in the corporate design leadership world, I am soft retiring and putting my reliability, commitment and energy into helping others and bringing happiness to their pets. With 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I don’t just show up. I show up for your dog, on their terms. Every dog is different, and I believe in honoring that. Whether your pup likes to stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk or prefers a brisk, energetic stride, I walk at their pace because a great walk isn’t about the distance, it’s about the experience. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, making sure every single one enjoys their walk, gets the attention they deserve and takes care of their business. From the energy of a curious puppy to the gentle needs of a senior dog, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs and I embrace all of them with patience and care. But it doesn’t stop at the leash. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s a relaxed afternoon cuddle on the couch or an enthusiastic play session with their favorite toys. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel happy, safe, and loved. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a dog walker or pet sitter. You’re giving your dog their favorite part of the day and honestly, mine too. What I offer: •🐾 Dog Walking at your dog’s pace, never rushed •🏠 Pet Sitting calm, attentive and home-like •🎾 Playtime & Chill Visits toys, attention and all the love •🐶 Puppy & Senior Care patient, experienced and always attentive Your pet is family. I’ll treat them that way! I work a flexible part time schedule three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m happy to work around your routine and adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs because your peace of mind matters just as much as their happiness. Whether your dog is most comfortable in their own home or joining me at mine, they will always receive the same attentive, personalized care. At my place, they are welcomed into a calm, quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly 5 year old 25lb Australian Labradoodle who loves making new friends. Your dog’s comfort and happiness always comes first, wherever that may be.
“June is always super excited to be dropped off to play with Mckenzie and her dogs! Mckenzie has been wonderful with our 5 month old pup and its been so reassuring to leave June with someone who we know loves dogs as much as we do and also has the skills and knowledge on managing different ages and varying dog’s behaviors! She is very communicative and prompt with her replies and she has always been loving and patient with our dog!”
“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”
“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
“My 6 month puppy was way happier when we picked him up after his daycare with Atheyana, the next day after that he spent all day sleeping which means he was playing a lot under her care. I will definitely rebook with her soon. 😊”
“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.

“Kiah has been a great weekly dog walker. We liked having a meet-and-greet prior to booking. She has great communication and accommodates for our preferences (ie: gentle leader, dog shoes, etc). We would highly recommend her services!”
“Can’t recommend enough! Carla has been super great with Gertie. She has been flexible, communicative, and has been open to help when there’s been last minute scheduling changes. Thank you, Carla!”
About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine passion for animals combined with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior dog care, which means I’m not just here to watch over your dog I’m here to support their well-being at every stage of life. With puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence, learn basic commands, and feel safe in new environments. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to their comfort, health routines, and any mobility challenges they may have. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and detailed notes so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I organize my days around making sure each dog in my care gets the attention, activity, and comfort they need—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply quiet companionship. I set aside time every day for exercise, training, and one-on-one interaction to build trust and keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I plan for grooming needs, restocking supplies, and adjusting routines to fit each pet’s personality and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for. In My Home: I maintain a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and preferred activities. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere. In My Client’s Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and follow your pet’s established routine to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and emotionally cared for. I also keep the space clean, send regular updates, and can handle light home tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and reliability.

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I’m especially attentive to animal behavior, routines, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities since I was very young, with working experience in both shelters and pet hospitals. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, my goal is always to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away! I'm working part-time this summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available most weekends and weekday afternoons/evenings for walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your furry friend company until you’re back! I strive to be respectful of household routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other special instructions and/or medications your pet may need. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and as safe as possible in their own environment. I will provide your pet with lots of attention, playtime, and supervision while also keeping their space clean, calm, and organized. Building trust with both pets and owners is really important to me, so I prioritize communication and reliability during every visit.
“Shannon did a great job with walking our dog, Keba. Keba was so excited to meet her! Although Keba was initially hesitant to walk away from the house with her, Shannon gave her a few of our dog treats and Keba happily walked along. The picture Shannon sent with Keba’s huge smile on her face says it all. I highly recommend Shannon for dog walking and connecting with your pup. We’ll definitely have Shannon walk Keba again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! I am currently working full time, so weekends and evenings work best for me to care for your pet. I am sometimes free to walk or check in on your pet during weekdays from 12:00pm to 12:45 I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection while also checking that they’re safe and comfortable. During walks, I prioritize your dog’s safety while giving them the exercise and mental stimulation they need, adjusting the pace and distance based on their age and energy level. For overnight stays in your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I’ll provide companionship, meals, walks, playtime, and lots of love, while also keeping your home tidy and sending regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was born. i trained my dog since she was 10 weeks and she wound up having very good recall and other skills like “touch” and “kennel”. she crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago and i’ve been needing some dog time since. she was very reactive and anxious at times so i have a very firm grasp on dog body language, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. i have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am always happy to help with training and maintaining skills. I work night shift in the ER so depending on the day I’m either sleeping during the day or up later in the day. On my days off i’m usually free between 12pm and 11pm. On the days I work I’m free usually between 4pm and 9pm. I work every other weekend and alternating weekdays. I love making any pets feel comfortable and safe, and I do this by paying attention to their body language and the messages they’re sending me. I make sure my pets are well fed, well exercised, and feeling content with their living situation.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have also helped raise and care for other people's pets. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, potty breaks or for overnights. I can also visit your cat and give it love and attention when you're away. We have a 16lb dog ourselves who is very dog friendly. I work from home so I am available any day from 8am - 7pm for walks or potty breaks. If your dog prefers running we can talk about running as an option! I have a fenced in yard with a fence high enough for small and medium sized dogs. Our 16lb 5 yr old dog is very dog friendly.
“Lily did a great job with Evie, including dealing with some unexpected separation anxiety. She was an excellent communicator and we appreciated the extra effort she put in to make sure Evie felt better.”

“As a nervous dog mom, I was anxious about leaving Sully with someone new while I was away on a work trip. Thankfully, Charlie’s calm demeanor and clear understanding of dog behavior put both Sully and me at ease right away. Throughout the trip, Charlie was quick to respond whenever I checked in, which gave me peace of mind. I also really appreciated how thoughtful he was in making sure another dog he was sitting would be a good match for Sully—it’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he watches. I’d definitely book with Charlie again!”
“Maggie had a WONDERFUL time at Mckenzie’s! I got pics and updates and she was so well taken care of. We will definitely be leaving Mags with McKenzie again!”
“The videos of my dog Martha are a highlight whenever she stays with River. She was so evidently happy in the big backyard playing with her friend Drake. She is always charging into Rivers house at full speed ready to have her adventure so a barely get a chance to say hello!”
“5 stars for Jessica and her husband! They took such great care of my dog, Frankie. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Jessica was even sweet enough to come to pick Frankie up to save me time as I got ready for my trip. Frankie got plenty of walks and snuggles and was in great hands while I was away. We will definitely be using them again for future care!”
“Allie did a great job taking care of my dogs! They were very happy to play with her dog and run around her back yard. I got updates and knew they were in good hands. She was also very flexible and accommodating!”
“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”
“If I could leave greater than 5 stars, I would. I cannot express my appreciation for the pet sitting services and communication of Oleksandr and his family enough. Oleksandr and his family cared for our puppy (11months old) for over 2 weeks and maintained regular and ongoing contact with descriptions of the day and many pictures everyday. Our puppy was given a daily routine of walks, play, quiet and caretaking time. Our puppy was so active and loved the entire time she was there, she was hesitant to come back home with us! Truly a great family who are gifted at caring for dogs who are away from home.”
“Bria was absolutely amazing! She was always extremely responsive and flexible as we worked through details. She sent me regular photos throughout my dog George’s stay and I could tell he was in good hands and having a blast. She was the perfect person to be my first Rover sitter! Thank you Bria!!”
“Michelle and her husband were great! She sent lots of photos and daily updates with how Heath was doing. He gets irritated ears, and Michelle was willing to clean them out during his stay. It sounds like Heath got along well with her two dogs and he loved running around her yard. He was completely worn out by the time he came home. I will definitely look to Michelle for dog sitting in the future!”
About: Hello! We are a 2-person, child-free household and currently do not have any pets. We love dogs! We also understand the difficulty of finding boarding for reactive, elderly, sick, and diet-specific dogs. So we are here to meet that need! We would love to watch your extra-special needy pup and give them a vacation during your vacation! Professional and volunteer experience: - 3 years animal rescue and surrender employee experience at the Animal Humane Society. - Volunteer with AHS pet behavior and training courses. -Team Lead for Pinups for Pitbulls advocacy organization. Non-professional experience: - Raised with multiple large dogs in home. - 8 year dog owners navigating life with velcro-dog health issues and reactive dog training. - Regular dog sitter for friends and family. Sitting for multiple dogs at a time, dogs with special diets, health needs, and anxiety or reactivity. special note: We are not professional animal trainers and can not handle dogs who are actively aggressive towards men or other people (reactivity that can be solved by appropriate introduction is fine). Our work from home schedules are flexible with enough notice. When your pet is with us, we will be sure our schedules allow for the safest supervision of your dog. We are child free! Although we may need to leave the home for life things like groceries or meetings, we will do what we can to reduce your dog's alone time as much as possible, especially if they have separation anxiety. After all, they should be on vacation when you're on vacation! Our beloved now-passed Pit/Cattle Dog mix taught us a lot about patience and love. But finding boarding for him was always very difficult - he was overstimulated at doggie daycares, had a special diet, and needed a quiet home. That is what we are here for - we're here for the pups who need a house and need to be the only animal in the home. We are here for your senior dogs, your sick dogs, and your reactive/ scaredy-dogs. Our house is small, open, dog-proofed, and we have a fully privacy-fenced back yard that we will always supervise your dog in. We can walk your dog minimum once a day, and we love to give car rides if the dog likes them too (doggy seatbelt included!). We have different types of gates to adjust to each dog's individual needs (or no gates!). If your dog is crate-trained, please bring their crate with them, and their favorite blanket or toy. We are very comfortable with administering meds! Cancer meds, subdermal shots, cheese balls, or even the classic "rub the throat" trick. We will take all the photos and send all of them to you. We will update you at least once a day with updates or funny stories about your pup's adventures. We have a toy bucket for every pup to help themselves to! PupCups are included if owner-approved! Finally, we will shower your pup with love!
