“Kristy and her family were awesome! My two pups were very well socialized with all of her pets, even my anxious girl became comfortable and seemed to enjoy her stay. Kristy gave them both special attention, even making them scrambled eggs one morning, and letting them cozy up on her bed. You can tell she is a true dog lover and understands what they need. She gave me lots of updates and photos to put my mind at ease!”
“Cassie and Ben were incredibly flexible and kind with my last-minute schedule request for my dog, Nala. Cassie, Ben, and their kids were exceptionally sweet and loving towards Nala. I could tell right away that Nala felt at home, and she returned relaxed and calm. Cassie was friendly, communicative, and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Nala's comfort. Despite the short duration of Nala’s stay, Cassie sent me photos throughout, which provided immense peace of mind. It was clear that our dog felt loved, safe, and had a wonderful time with the family. I highly recommend Cassie and her family and hope that our dog can stay with them again!”
“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”
“Olga took such great care of our puppy. I was nervous to leave her because she was still so young but Olga was willing to care for her and even worked with her on some basic training skills as well. She was very responsive to communication and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She is very knowledgeable of dogs and provides a safe and caring place for them. We’d definitely leave our puppy with her again. I highly recommend her.”
“We can’t be happier to have Luna in care of Griffin & Gloria. Luna plays all the time and they make sure I get videos updates every day to see her having fun”
“Lainey just had her first stay with Billie and it was for two weeks. Lainey has some separation anxiety and, if I'm being honest, so do I. But Billie made our two weeks apart so easy and seamless. I had a couple scheduling issues with pickup, like my flight home being delayed, and Billie was entirely understanding, accommodating, and flexible, which was especially appreciated. I know Lainey had a great time with Billie and am grateful for the several photos and check-ins Billie provided. Definitely going to be a repeat customer!”
“Derrika was great. She took great care of our Charlie, was great with drop off and pickups, and excellent with providing updates and communication. What a blessing it is to have a safe loving home for our little guy when we’re away. Gives us great peace of mind that he’s well taken care of and loved.”
“This was my husband and I's first time ever using Rover or dropping off our dog Teddy with someone else, and we were both very happy with Bridget's service! She really kept us at ease and I could tell that she is fantastic with dogs and treats them like their own. When we picked Teddy up he was super happy and even made some other friends while he was there. I would definitey recommend Bridget, and we already plan on using her again soon!”
“Five stars are not enough to convey how much we love Abby! Our dogs love her and she is an amazing dog carer. Highly recommend and will use again and again!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Brittney and Max were great! They loved having our dog (Leo) and were great about sending updates and pictures while we were away! We were very happy with them, recommend them to anyone and if we need a sitter again we’ll be going back to them!”
“Damonte is incredibly kind, reliable, and generous with Kuba and Ashanti. He always keeps us informed by sending updates and videos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love him and treat him like family. We are so grateful for the care and attention he provides, and he will always be our go-to pet care provider. Thank you, Damonte, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!”
About: 🚨 ATTENTION: 25LB MAX WEIGHT LIMIT - For the safety of our small dog clients we exclusively accept dogs/puppies that are 25lbs or under. 🚨 If your furbaby fits into our small-dog boutique size bracket, we would absolutely love to host them for a premium, customized vacation! ✨ After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. The Boutique Environment: Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.
“Chloe and Collin were absolutely wonderful. I always get nervous because of Babs’ diabetes, but because of Chloe’s updates I was able to fully relax while out of town. They treated her like family. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful family to watch my sweet Babs.”
“Brenda was great!! She was very nice and caring and made Dugan feel right at home. She texted a picture soon after we dropped him off to let us know he was settling right in. She also sent us another picture the next day of him cuddled up on the couch with her pug asleep. She said she let him sleep with her in bed at night. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times to make it convenient for us. We have found a great sitter with no worries. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter that makes your pet's stay away from home comforting and stress free. 5 stars!!”

“Maddie was fantastic! She communicated very well throughout her visits and took photos of our fur baby for us. She even went above and beyond what we expected while we were gone! We definitely recommend her :)”
“Lulu is so attentive to our cat Yul and our home while we are away. Her updates are the absolute best and she always puts us at ease. I would highly recommend Lulu to anyway looking for pet care!”
“Brandon and Nicole were great for watching my two cats. Very responsive and communicative the whole way through. Went above and beyond and sent lots of photos. Thank you for taking care of my kitties!”
“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”
“Mallory was wonderful! She took exceptional care of my two kitties. She cleaned up when Brodus left presents because he was mad that I was gone. She went above and beyond.”
“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”
“Kristy is absolutely the best! Both my cats are in love with her, even my shy girl. It's such peace of mind to know my babies are being cared for as if they were her own. Kristy goes above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. I've already got her lined up for more visits. Thank you, Kristy! I don't know what I would have done without you!”
“Elise was great. I didn't worry about our kitties during our trip. She sent pictures of them every day and they always looked happy and content. Thanks for doing a great job Elise!”
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Olga was fantastic! Our cats typically do not do very well with temporary changes in their environment and have not done well when boarded previously. Olga sent us regular updates and photos of them and it was very clear that they got much more comfortable staying with her after a short adjustment period. Can not recommend her enough! We will absolutely bring our pets back to her in the future any time they need to be boarded! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys Olga!!!”
“Hailie did a phenomenal job! She’s very friendly, and my cat loved her (it usually takes a while for him to like other people, but he liked her immediately). She’s great with communication and is very flexible. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”
“Catherine as always did such a great job watching our Goose for 10 days while we were out of the country. She even went out of her way and got him a couple new toys since one of his broke while we were away!”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, kittens, and difficult cats. I am typically off around 4pm Monday - Thursday, & noon on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty flexible and adjustments can be made. Weekends that I am in town are open availability other than Church on Sunday mornings! My cat is not a fan of other pets so all services would be provided outside of my home. I will keep your precious pet safe, and send lots of cute update pictures!

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”
“Rosabel has helped me take care of my german short-hair pointer A very active dog and did very well with her on both times watching her all day while I worked. Both times where short notice and was very happy to help.”
About: I've been training and taking care of dogs for 33 years. I had a couple childhood pets then when I was 18 I adopted and trained a dog that stayed with my family for 15 years. I also had a Labrador who made it to 13 and my current old man puppy is 13. I've been with my husband for 20 years. We LOVE dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm a stay at home mom to my geriatric dog. We get up around 6am, go outside for a bit, come in and get breakfast, then lounge while I clean. Lunchtime we go out again, have healthy snacks like carrots, then play in the fenced in yard or the living room depending on weather and temperature. Late afternoon and evening we wind down and get ready for dinner. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly old dog, tiled floors, comfortable furniture that they're allowed on, and air vents that come from the floors (dogs love to lay on them). There is security on my home and absolutely nobody but delivery people come here during the day.

“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”
“Derrika was great with our pup! She was very professional and I had a high degree of confidence that our little guy was well cared for and loved while we were away. I loved feeling like it brought her joy to be with him too and not just a transaction. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Amazing. Sylveena is wonderful. She fit me in last minute and my Snick loved being there. She sent plenty of photos and most of all my baby slept like a baby when I picked her up. Sylveena is great and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Great first day of hanging out at Savannah’s house. They have such a nice fenced in backyard. Can’t wait until the boys get introduced to the other dogs and get to play. Will be booking again, thank you!”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”
About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people.

I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own. I will allow your pets to hang out with me wherever I am in the house and take them out frequently for restroom breaks to the backyard .

About: I've spent years watching the pets of my friends and family. They have trusted me to bathe, feed, play, and care for their fur babies. I’m in between jobs and have lots of time to fit the needs that are required of me :) I am mostly free on the weekdays and my weekends are always free. Where I live currently isn’t suitable for pet sitting but I am more than willing to dog sit at the clients home if need be.
“Shawn was wonderful with my pup! He was able to watch him super last minute and was so flexible with all the arrangements! Harry enjoyed his time hanging out with Shawn and making an new puppy bestie! I will definitely reach out again for any future needs for Harry or his brothers! Thank you so much!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s a goofy pup, a cuddly cat, or an adventurous bunny, I truly enjoy their company and treat each one like my own! These days, I find just as much joy in quiet companionship as I do in outdoor play. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of room to roam, relax, and cuddle. Walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out—I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I am now retired, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pet! My days are calm and unhurried perfect for slow morning walks, mid-day play sessions, and quiet afternoons full of snuggles. I truly enjoy the companionship and love having a furry friend around to share the day with. Whether your pet needs lots of play or just a peaceful place to relax, they’ll have my full presence in a quiet, cozy environment. I live in a spacious home with both a front yard and a large backyard, perfect for supervised outdoor time. While the yard isn’t fenced, I’m always attentive and happy to keep your pet leashed when outside, or follow your preferences around crate training if needed.
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!

“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
“Lillian was amazing! We usually board our two med/large dogs, but one got a mild respiratory infection right before a big trip and we needed someone responsible and caring to come in and walk, feed, love on them and give meds while we were gone for a week. We all loved Lillian from the moment we met her. Over the course of the week, she gave us such peace of mind with detailed notes and photos to let us know how they were doing. Everything went so smoothly and we were able to enjoy our trip, knowing our doggos were in good hands. Would pawsitively recommend Lillian anytime! 🐾”

I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”

About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.

“Kristy and her family were awesome! My two pups were very well socialized with all of her pets, even my anxious girl became comfortable and seemed to enjoy her stay.

She gave me lots of updates and photos to put my mind at ease!”
“Cassie and Ben were incredibly flexible and kind with my last-minute schedule request for my dog, Nala. Cassie, Ben, and their kids were exceptionally sweet and loving towards Nala. I could tell right away that Nala felt at home, and she returned relaxed and calm. Cassie was friendly, communicative, and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Nala's comfort. Despite the short duration of Nala’s stay, Cassie sent me photos throughout, which provided immense peace of mind. It was clear that our dog felt loved, safe, and had a wonderful time with the family. I highly recommend Cassie and her family and hope that our dog can stay with them again!”
“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”
“Olga took such great care of our puppy. I was nervous to leave her because she was still so young but Olga was willing to care for her and even worked with her on some basic training skills as well. She was very responsive to communication and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She is very knowledgeable of dogs and provides a safe and caring place for them. We’d definitely leave our puppy with her again. I highly recommend her.”
“Five stars are not enough to convey how much we love Abby! Our dogs love her and she is an amazing dog carer. Highly recommend and will use again and again!”
“Chloe and Collin were absolutely wonderful. I always get nervous because of Babs’ diabetes, but because of Chloe’s updates I was able to fully relax while out of town. They treated her like family. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful family to watch my sweet Babs.”
“Brenda was great!! She was very nice and caring and made Dugan feel right at home. She texted a picture soon after we dropped him off to let us know he was settling right in. She also sent us another picture the next day of him cuddled up on the couch with her pug asleep. She said she let him sleep with her in bed at night. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times to make it convenient for us. We have found a great sitter with no worries. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter that makes your pet's stay away from home comforting and stress free. 5 stars!!”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!
“Savannah did amazing!! Was very communicative and always sent updates. Was able to handle any issues, and was very fair in her pricing. Would highly recommend and would go back if ever in the area again:) And she has a great set up for pups!!!”
“Nate is the best! I’m so thankful I found him & his family. Jett loves his whole family. I always know he is well cared for while I’m on vacation! Jett is always so excited to go on “his vacation to Nate’s!””
“They did an amazing job with Nymeria. She was slow to warm up at first, but they kept me updated and reassured me that she was starting to come out of her shell and get comfortable. The communication they provided was very much appreciated and made me feel so much more comfortable knowing she was in a safe and loving environment. She is back home and sleeping soundly now, and I know she had a great time and received plenty of care and attention. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands and not sitting in a cold kennel without much human interaction. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and communication throughout her stay. I will absolutely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”
“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”
“Jessica always takes such amazing care of our little Hallie! I very highly recommend her. Her family is so loving and wonderful, and makes all of the dogs in their care feel loved and welcomed. Thank you, Jessica!”
