“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“We are so thankful we found Deborah. Our pup had the best time and came home so happy. Deborah sent regular pictures and updates and made us feel at ease that our girl was being taken care of :)”
“Emmett was great! He showed great care for our dog. He sent pictures of our fur baby and kept us in the loop with how he was doing. Our Milo seemed like he was a happy boy while he was there. He had friends to play with as well. I highly recommend Emmett!!!”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Krista was great with the pups and I would trust her ANYTIME with them. She kept me up to date and sent pics of the fun they were having. They came home and were out like a light!”
“Jackie was fabulous! She gave us daily updates & pictures. This was the first time we left our pup and it went so much better than I imagined. We will definitely use Jackie in the future.”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“OMG! WOW! Melissa is the best ever. She coddled our dogs Zena (Goberian) and Maddie (Siberian Husky) with love and care. You don't get this kind of care boarding at a Kennel. We hope she will have our babies in the future. There is good, better and best, but Melissa was outstanding!”
“Our pups had the most wonderful time with this lovely family! We have one 8 year old, and 5 month old mutt, and they have very different personalities and we weren't sure what type of environment would make them feel most comfortable and at home. But after reading reviews and seeing pics of other dogs who stayed with Victoria and Michael, it was an easy decision! It was literally as if they were at summer camp for dogs. They played with the boys, ran around the expansive and beautiful farm, and played in the creek with the family. It warmed our hearts to see daily photos and videos, and they truly treated them like their own. We will absolutely book with them again in the future!”
“Kortney was amazing. She tooksuch great care of my handsome boy over the few days he stayed with her that he was sad to leave her. I'm absolutely going to plan play dates with her and definitely rebook. I received pictures, video, and updates about him. I was very happy with her and her service.”
“Erika Leigh & Erik R. are THE BEST!! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone the way I do them, not to mention, Judo absolutely adores them!! He is always so well taken care of and beyond happy in their care. Grateful is an understatement ♥️”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Our dogs really enjoyed their stay and even made a new bestie. Season is very friendly and attentive. She always responded immediately when we checked in on our dogs and sent us updates/pictures during their stay. We will absolutely leave our dogs with her again. Drop off/pick up was fast and easy. Highly recommend Season.”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!

“Haley is our go to sitter for our animals. She is kind, communicative, and adaptable. Will continue to use her in the future for our dog/car/fish needs. Highly recommend Haley!”
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
“Thank you so much for stepping in on short notice! I felt confident after talking with you that everything was going to be alright since we were out of state with very little time to vet our dog sitter! Thank you!”

“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”

“I was initially a little concerned leaving my 3 dogs all day on Thanksgiving. Nic calmed my concerns and I enjoyed a worrry-free holiday with Family! Excellent communication and working with my schedule. THANK YOU, Nic, from Me and The Girls😀”
“Shannon is wonderful! She did a meet and greet prior to house and cat sitting for us. One of our cats had recently had surgery and she made sure she was well taken care of. She was highly communicative and sent photos of the kittens. Highly, highly recommend her!”
About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.
“Ashley was really nice about things. She got back with me promptly upon requesting a stay and also while she had my two cats. My babies are wild, so I definitely condone her for being able to handle them. I was coming back in town late, and I would’ve had to pick my cats up at like 2am. She allowed me to come in the afternoon the next morning; however I was charged for almost two days to be able to do this. That’s the only issue I had. I’ll for sure be booking again for my future vacations.”
About: I’m a dog trainer who has experience with multiple breeds as well has handling experience as a kennel technician. My passion for animals aligns with my passion to care for them. Below are photos of dogs I’ve worked with as not only a trainer but a caretaker. I currently work full time as a dog trainer and have a very flexible schedule.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with shy dogs, energetic enough to keep active pups entertained, and attentive to senior dogs who may need extra care and a slower pace. I provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your fur baby. Since I don’t currently work outside the home, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their normal routine, and accommodate different care needs, whether that’s daytime visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I enjoy being hands-on with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have 3 very friendly puppies to keep your pup entertained. If caring for pets in my home, safety comes first. I keep the environment clean, secure, and supervised, and I make sure introductions with other animals are handled carefully if needed. I always prioritize a calm environment, safe play, and making sure each pet has a comfortable place to rest.
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
“Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.”
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.

About: I’ve helped my mom since I was 10 raise Yorkies. I’ve had had cats and dogs ever since. I currently raise Black and Tan Coonhounds for show and hunting competition. I have a true passion for all animals. Pet care is my life as it is my full time job. I have cats who are very happy. My father and I have a coonhound raising business that stems from my desire to dedicate time to all animals with love and care. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a sunroom that is specifically for the cats. It has cat towers and all the fun things cats enjoy. The dogs have can be in the house and enjoy long walks on my 40 acres.
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.
“Bruno had his rabies booster, and he needed to be taking care and rest. Kaitlyn was so kind and let him sleep on her bed! I got pictures (good quality photos) and she answer my questions when I texted her.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own.

I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.

As lifelong pet owners, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals over the years. Madison also participated in FFA and 4-H for three years, gaining hands-on experience with animal care and responsibility.

My mom is available for daytime visits, potty breaks, feedings, walks, and companionship, while I handle morning, evening, and weekend care. Together, we make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. Because we work as a team, your pets are rarely without someone checking in on them, and we can easily accommodate most feeding schedules, medication routines, and exercise needs. Caring for animals is something we genuinely enjoy, so spending time with pets is already a regular and rewarding part of our weekly routine Whether we are caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, our goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, we follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, and any special needs. We know pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so we work to maintain their routine while providing plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. We also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. For pets staying in our home, they become part of the family. We provide a safe, supervised environment with a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and exercise. Pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, potty breaks, and comfortable places to rest. We carefully monitor interactions with other animals and can separate pets when needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Every pet is unique, and we take the time to get to know their personality, preferences, and needs so they receive individualized care and plenty of love while you’re away
“We are moving and needed a last minute sitter for our English Bulldog puppy. Ashley was able to help us last minute, kept us updated with pictures and how Chunk was doing. Chunk came back to us happy and healthy, we definitely recommend Ashley!”

I’m patient with shy dogs, energetic enough to keep active pups entertained, and attentive to senior dogs who may need extra care and a slower pace. I provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your fur baby. Since I don’t currently work outside the home, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their normal routine, and accommodate different care needs, whether that’s daytime visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I enjoy being hands-on with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have 3 very friendly puppies to keep your pup entertained. If caring for pets in my home, safety comes first. I keep the environment clean, secure, and supervised, and I make sure introductions with other animals are handled carefully if needed. I always prioritize a calm environment, safe play, and making sure each pet has a comfortable place to rest.

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure.

“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!

Whether it’s a cuddly cat, or energetic dog, I tailor the approach to suit their unique needs, providing you with peace of mind while you’re away. As the owner of a 3 year old rambunctious goldendoodle and a kitty myself I make sure to treat your furry friends as my own. After all, your pets aren’t just animals – they’re cherished family members, and their happiness and well-being are my top priority. I’m currently working full time, however I have every Saturday,Sunday, and Monday off. I have open availability all 3 days. I could also possibly be available week nights if a drop in is needed. I also have open availability for house sitting including week nights upon request. As a pet owner myself to a goldendoodle and 3 cats I prefer to watch clients pets in their own home. I find that pets tend to tolerate a familiar setting, especially in possible stressful situations like their owner being away.
About: I have always been so in love with animals! Growing up we had two Himalayan cats and 6 chihuahuas. Needless to say, we had a full house! I treat all the animals that I care for as one of my very own. I absolutely love all animals!! I am the oldest of my siblings and I have always been a nurturer. Being a nurturer really comes easy to me and helps with this as I appreciate the importance of the well being of your lovely pet. I have done dog sitting for many dogs that have been on a special diet and very sick. I have an open schedule right now and love to take your pets out for some fun! Dog owners have always been very pleased with my skills and such special care for dogs. I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I am very flexible and would love to discuss some arrangements for dog sitting for your fur babies! I live in a house with lots of room for play! It is a very safe neighborhood with lots of areas to go on a nice walk!

“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“Emmett was great! He showed great care for our dog. He sent pictures of our fur baby and kept us in the loop with how he was doing. Our Milo seemed like he was a happy boy while he was there. He had friends to play with as well. I highly recommend Emmett!!!”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Krista was great with the pups and I would trust her ANYTIME with them. She kept me up to date and sent pics of the fun they were having. They came home and were out like a light!”
“Our pups had the most wonderful time with this lovely family! We have one 8 year old, and 5 month old mutt, and they have very different personalities and we weren't sure what type of environment would make them feel most comfortable and at home. But after reading reviews and seeing pics of other dogs who stayed with Victoria and Michael, it was an easy decision! It was literally as if they were at summer camp for dogs. They played with the boys, ran around the expansive and beautiful farm, and played in the creek with the family. It warmed our hearts to see daily photos and videos, and they truly treated them like their own. We will absolutely book with them again in the future!”
“Kortney was amazing. She tooksuch great care of my handsome boy over the few days he stayed with her that he was sad to leave her. I'm absolutely going to plan play dates with her and definitely rebook. I received pictures, video, and updates about him. I was very happy with her and her service.”
“Erika Leigh & Erik R. are THE BEST!! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone the way I do them, not to mention, Judo absolutely adores them!! He is always so well taken care of and beyond happy in their care. Grateful is an understatement ♥️”

“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

“We left our 13 year old Maine coon cat, Jasmine, with Tiffany and her family for a few days. Jasmine got lots of gentle love and attention from Tiffany’s children. She did just fine. We would happily recommend them.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Austie was great with Greta. It was a last minute trip and she accepted the booking i12 hours before we would drop off our pup. Greta is a little nervous in those situations but Austie was great with her. We got photos of their walks and even one of our girl curled Up in a blanket on the couch! Hams for being so seeet to Greta Austie!”
“Cody was awesome. We have a large male German shepherd who is scared of his own shadow and he gave Cody a run for his money the first few days. Cody was very accommodating and took him a day early so we could leave for our vacation early. He sent me a picture just about every day. Communication was an A plus, We messaged everyday and he was quick to reply back. Very friendly. I know they went for some very long walks which my boy needed and loved. Thank you Cody. Your fur babies will be in Excellent hands, safe and well taken care of with the very nice young man.”
“We feel so blessed that we found someone that loves on our doggies when we are away. Amanda and her family take the best care of them and the dogs love their vaca with them. 10/10 recommend.”
