“I can't recommend Ms. Deborah enough! She took such wonderful care of my two fur babies during their stay. From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home and quickly adjusted to their new environment. They absolutely loved spending time on her farm, and I could tell they were in great hands. It's clear that Ms. Deborah has a genuine love for animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Natalie was great and really sweet. She took care of my cats well and even worked with me on a last minute request! If I ever need boarding again she will be my go to. Thank you Natalie!”
“We will definitely use Ronald's services again. He kept us updated by sending pictures consistently. Jax has been so well behaved since we picked him up. Ronald treated our Jax like one of his own!”
“Jessica was such a pleasant person and took very good care of my boy! She sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on his doings. He doesn't have pet siblings to play with at home so he thoroughly enjoyed being able to use his energy with her dogs! I would definitely trust Jessica to watch my Rocko again!”
“Our experience with Katie was great! She was very fast to reply to the booking request and texts, and she took great care of our dog Lily. We were visiting the area from out of town and couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Nancy was a blessing 🙏We were so fortunate to be able to find her. She and her family looked after our precious little fella impeccably! She met us straight away to see if we were a good fit and kept communicating throughout with photos and comments. He adjusted so quickly and fit in like part of their family. I could see from the photos how much care and love they gave him and the freedom he always had to roam in the garden, rest anywhere and the safety he felt with them be g at home! Thank you again Nancy! I’m sure Corey is looking forward to kisses and cuddles again soon 🫶🤗🥰”
“Krissa was amazing! She watched our 4 yr. old boy, Captain, for 12 days while we were on vacation. He is a beagle so you know how that breed can be. He is always on the hunt outside and certainly loves a lot of attention. We had a meet and great before our trip, which was nice to get to know her as well as allow Captain to spend a little time with her dogs at their house. Krissa stayed in contact with us our entire time away and sent many pictures. She gave him tons of attention and loved on him like we do at home. Captain enjoyed the fenced backyard and it is surrounded by trees, which is nice. What a great 1st time experience having someone watch your dog vs. using a boarding place as we have done in the past. He certainly got more attention and time to play than those places offer. She even let him sleep in their bed at night, which is how he sleeps at home. We will certainly use her again for our next trip away. I recommend booking with Krissa for sure!”
“Excellent 7 day boarding experience. Frances was friendly, highly communicative, and professional and Blaze returned happy, healthy, and well taken care of. We highly recommend her service and will definitely use it again.”
“Amelia and Grant were absolutely fantastic. My dog likes just about everyone, but I could tell that she LOVED her time with them. She was so content from the first second she walked in and was so relaxed when I picked her up. Their home is clean, calm and safe. 10/10.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
“They were flexible, adapted their house to my dog's physical condition, and sent pictures/news every day. Gave me peace of mind while I was visiting my mother.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Katie was the absolute best! She sent tons of pictures and videos of Beans throughout the day. She has a lot of fenced in land for him to play and run which was wonderful. I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's part of my daily life. My family homestead is home to dogs, cats, and a thriving garden, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. Unlike traditional kennels, pets enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced area for safe outdoor time and exercise, as well as multiple levels within my home that allow me to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves to socialize or prefers a quieter space to relax, I can create an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so their stay feels as close to home as possible. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your pet's stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I'm a teacher currently home for the summer, spending my days building our family homestead. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily routine, from tending to our dogs and cats, to working in the garden and enjoying life outdoors. Because I'm home and actively caring for my own animals throughout the day, welcoming boarding pets into my home feels like a natural extension of the life I'm already living. I have a fenced yard, lots of room indoors, and multiple levels to give pets the quiet or fun they desire. I have routines to care for our animals and will be glad to follow whatever your pet is used to!
“Georgeann has been an absolute blessing. She is incredibly kind and generous, and so knowledgeable—she’s been such a huge help with tips and advice for my new pup. My boy absolutely loves going over there and being with her, her dogs, and her kids. It already feels like his second family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better fit.”
“Everything went great. River was tired after playing with her dog all day. I got pictures through out the day which I really like. Great communication, big yard , got enough water. And I liked that she was very close to where I was staying. I would recommend her and use her again”
About: I was a volunteer rescuer and foster home for several animal rescue organizations, I have cared for elderly animals as well as puppies, I know how to administer medications. I am available every day of the week, as well as in the evenings, I can take them for morning or afternoon walks, depending on the pet owner's preference. I don't have my own pets, I live in an apartment that does accept pets in a quiet neighborhood with green areas to walk peacefully.
“Lauren was amazing! She took GREAT care of my Goldendoodle Tobi. I found her last minute and she was so accommodating! I can’t say enough good things about her! I will book with Lauren again and again! ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.
About: Hi! My husband and I are both hybrid workers, so we’re home often and have flexible schedules that allow us to spend quality time with the dogs we watch. We live in a two-story home with no kids or pets of our own, which means your dog will have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Since there aren’t other animals or distractions, we’re able to give your dog our full attention, lots of love, and care tailored just to them. My experience with dogs goes back to when I was 3 years old, and had my first family dog that I grew up with like a sibling! From that moment, I always treated dogs as part of the family. I rescued my second dog while I was in college from a shelter, and I also spent many years pet sitting for my neighbors, which was truly a dream job because I got to spend all day long playing with dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need—whether it's administering medications, helping them up stairs, or just giving them a peaceful spot to nap. We work full-time, but have hybrid schedules where we work from home most of the week. We make sure to rotate our in office days so one of us is always home. We are able to provide potty breaks every hour! For exercise, our neighborhood is suitable for long walks. We also have a yard where we can play with your dog, as well as several nearby trails.

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: As a child and all throughout my adult years we always had animals in the house. They bring so much joy and comfort, often in times we didn’t know we needed it. I love all types of animals. I don’t mind any size or breed, they will all be loved the same. Leaving and trusting your pet with a stranger can often be scary, for both you and the pet. Which is why I make my visiting pets feel right at home by providing them with a large yard to run and play fetch, plenty of belly rubs and daily picture updates, leaving you with the comfort and security knowing your pet is being well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby!

So I have a pretty open schedule to take care of your babies at any time. Whatever you may need We have a fenced in yard. With plenty of space to run around. All dogs sleep indoors and are welcome where ever they want in the house. Dogs are family here!

“Susan and her family were great with Raven. Her girls played games with her and they all gave her a lot of love😍Susan sent lots of pictures and videos also. I would definitely use her again!”
“I can't recommend Ms. Deborah enough! She took such wonderful care of my two fur babies during their stay. From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home and quickly adjusted to their new environment. They absolutely loved spending time on her farm, and I could tell they were in great hands. It's clear that Ms. Deborah has a genuine love for animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Natalie was great and really sweet. She took care of my cats well and even worked with me on a last minute request! If I ever need boarding again she will be my go to. Thank you Natalie!”
“We will definitely use Ronald's services again. He kept us updated by sending pictures consistently. Jax has been so well behaved since we picked him up. Ronald treated our Jax like one of his own!”
“Jessica was such a pleasant person and took very good care of my boy! She sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on his doings. He doesn't have pet siblings to play with at home so he thoroughly enjoyed being able to use his energy with her dogs! I would definitely trust Jessica to watch my Rocko again!”
“Our experience with Katie was great! She was very fast to reply to the booking request and texts, and she took great care of our dog Lily. We were visiting the area from out of town and couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Krissa was amazing! She watched our 4 yr. old boy, Captain, for 12 days while we were on vacation. He is a beagle so you know how that breed can be. He is always on the hunt outside and certainly loves a lot of attention. We had a meet and great before our trip, which was nice to get to know her as well as allow Captain to spend a little time with her dogs at their house. Krissa stayed in contact with us our entire time away and sent many pictures. She gave him tons of attention and loved on him like we do at home. Captain enjoyed the fenced backyard and it is surrounded by trees, which is nice. What a great 1st time experience having someone watch your dog vs. using a boarding place as we have done in the past. He certainly got more attention and time to play than those places offer. She even let him sleep in their bed at night, which is how he sleeps at home. We will certainly use her again for our next trip away. I recommend booking with Krissa for sure!”
“Excellent 7 day boarding experience. Frances was friendly, highly communicative, and professional and Blaze returned happy, healthy, and well taken care of. We highly recommend her service and will definitely use it again.”
“Amelia and Grant were absolutely fantastic. My dog likes just about everyone, but I could tell that she LOVED her time with them. She was so content from the first second she walked in and was so relaxed when I picked her up. Their home is clean, calm and safe. 10/10.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“Jamie was literally amazing! Zulu enjoyed her time THOROUGHLY! I got picture and text updates frequently on a daily basis and I think she even cut my dogs nails lol which if so was very thoughtful and highly appreciated! She came back a happy pup and also whined a little when Jamie left so we’ll definitely be returning clients! Love, Love, Loveee Jamie!”
“They were flexible, adapted their house to my dog's physical condition, and sent pictures/news every day. Gave me peace of mind while I was visiting my mother.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Isabella is an absolute angel! I had just moved across the country and had no friends or family nearby when an unexpected urgent family emergency occurred requiring me to find my sweet Rue a sitter. Isabella was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She really took care of my pup, so that I could focus on taking care of my human family. I cannot thank her enough. I received multiple daily updates including photos. Isabella responds very quickly and She is extremely easy to communicate and work with. She is honest and transparent. I feel Rue was very well taken care of. I was impressed when Isabella had to step away from the home for a couple hours and she took the time to check up on Rue via home cameras. I have already booked Rue’s next stay with Isabella!”
“Peggy took amazingly great care of Amigo. Gave him special treats like a yogurt board and other puzzles. He loved many playful mornings in her great back yard with Peggy’s dog, Barklee! Her true love of dogs is apparent! Can’t think of enough great things to say! Book her with complete confidence!”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
