“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Holy cow! Thanks Tim and Kathy! They took such great care of our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. So flexible on meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our high energy boxer is wore out, super unusual. And our high maintenance older pointer mix is just as peaceful as ever, his respiratory issue was taken care of well and that's a lot to keep up with. I can't say enough how much my wife and I appreciate the care they gave them. The fenced in yard with a good wood pile, walks, and pictures gave us peace of mind the whole time. We will book again with them anytime we need to and they're available.”

“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”


“Highly recommend Angi and Dave! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else overnight, so we were all a little anxious about it. Angi sent multiple updates and pictures while we were away. It set our minds at ease knowing our dog was having the best time playing with new friends and relaxing with Angi and Dave. Thank you so much! ❤️?”

“Lauren was great. Our pups can be a handful and she was wonderful. They came back happy and well cared for. She was a great communicator and everything went smoothly from booking to drop off to pick up.”

“Harper had a great time with Abigail! We loved the photos Abigail sent, as well as lots of updates so we knew she was getting settle Abigail also provided her with a much-needed nail trim. I'll definitely book Abigail for boarding (and grooming!) next time we travel!”

About: I love dogs, I've had two growing up. Unfortunately they are no longer with my family and I but my love for animals of course continuously grows🤎.I'm capable of taking them out (whether it be to play, enjoy the weather or have a potty break), feeding them and just enjoying their company :)! I’m frequently available!—at my house from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me on weekdays and on weekends I can take them in from 8 a.m- whatever time you need me to watch them for ! Any dogs are welcome at my house but I only will take them from one family at a time :)🤎! I’m currently unemployed, with my 2 siblings going back to school it makes it a lot easier for me to take on a “side job” such like this :)! A little about myself… I’ve grown up taking care of my family dogs, I enjoy going outside very often, I love caring for the others around me, and I have a lot of free time :)! My yard may not be fenced in but we do have a huge backyard and a lot of floor space in our downstairs of our house. We are a pet friendly household. Growing up, my family has had 2 dogs. Both small but the company they had given us was unmatchable 🥲.
“Karizma took care female husky, she has experience it’s huskies so when Sila seemed to be a bit anxious she communicated with me and we were able to see how Sila can be more comfortable during her stay. I appreciate the communication and care she demonstrated during sila’s stay.”

About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.
“Booster had a great stay with Kristen! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up time and you can tell she is great with dogs. I felt really good about leaving my pup with her even though it was the first time I’d used Rover! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend and even gave him a bath with homemade shampoo! He returned fluffy soft, smelling amazing and happy as ever!”

“Emily was amazing! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout our whole trip. I was so nervous to leave my lil guy behind but will definitely be using Emily again in the future!”

About: Growing up I always had a family dog. More recently, I have taken care of many friends and family member's dogs over the years. Now I wanted to take that further and help out more people when they need their fur babies taken care of. I am a teacher so availability changes based on the season, but if I am able to help, I will! I am a teacher, so my availability does change based on the season. I have pretty flexible available hours during weekends, summers and school breaks. During the school year, I will be available on weekdays starting at 3:00pm. I do have a fenced in back yard which is very helpful for pets. For going to a clients house I do want to make sure that the area is safe. The dog is on a leash before going outside and knowing the kind of dog and the dog's needs.
“Abigail did a great job with Segal, our 2 years old poodle. Sent a lot of pictures and kept us posted. We would definitely recommend Abigail for your pet care. See you again Abigail!”

“We can’t say enough great things about our doggy daycare experience! From day one, the communication has been incredible, we receive tons of pictures and thoughtful updates that truly give us peace of mind. It’s clear how much care and attention goes into every day. Spencer has also been so flexible and accommodating with our schedules when things come up, which we really appreciate. Most importantly, Xena absolutely loves going there! She gets so excited and comes home happy and tired every time. The socialization she’s getting has been amazing, especially as a puppy. It’s been such great preparation for her development and confidence. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our girl!”

“She came to my house to meet my dog and answered my questions before the doggie day care service I was coordinating. Everyone went smoothly the day of, and Emily sent me pics and videos of my puppy playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed himself. She was always very prompt in hey messaging with me. I would use Emily again in the future.”

“Tim and Kathy always take awesome care of my "kids" . They love hanging out with Bailey and his parents. We will miss them all when we make our move to West Virginia. Thank you so much!”

I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my dogs and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have three dogs and 2 cats of my own but have help with them. Can always adjust schedule as needed.

One of my cats use to have diabetes so I am use to giving medical care as well as your basic walk, playtime, feeding, etc. my cat loves to play with toys and she gets the zoomies like a mad man as well as cuddles.
About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, etc. Animals don't ask for much so we should try to give them the best life possible. I am not afraid to get dirty and clean up if your animal has an accident. I have a lot of availability right now. I don't have a 9 to 5 job so I can try to fit walks or visits to your schedule. I will double check any safety concerns you have. Whether your dog can be in yard by themselves or if you car is allowed outside at all. If I'm not sure of something I will always ask you first before I do anything.
