“I have never boarded before, or much less been away from my dog, but Samantha made me feel so relaxed! Sent pics and notes via text to ease my mind!! It helped so much!! Thank you!! She really cared for my dog and my Mom's!! Mom: some magic that Samantha did to my dog....now he's wagging tail and running around like never before! So appreciate her loving the dogs like she has! If the need comes again we will definitely will be calling her again!!! AAA+++”
“I can’t say enough great things about Lorna! She provides a wonderful and safe place for our fur babies to stay when we need to be away. She has a great fenced in yard providing plenty of space to run and play. I highly recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a caring and sweet person to care for their animals.”
“This was the first time I used this service and was a little nervous about leaving my dogs while attending an out of state wedding. But my worries were put to rest at our meet and greet. Shirley and Jeff are so kind and friendly that I immediately felt comfortable leaving Bella and Gracie with them. And speaking about my fur babies, they fell in love with Shirley and Jeff and were so drawn to them that they completely ignored me LOL. On the day of drop off, my dogs were excited to see them again and didn’t even look back at me when I left. I highly recommend this loving couple to watch your fur babies and would definitely use them again.”
“Katie & Jeremy were very communicative and provided updates throughout my dog’s whole stay which helped so much. My dog takes a while to open up around new people and they were very patient and understanding with him.”
“She made my separation from my baby a lot easier with plenty of videos and text. Chubbs seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend her. She is also a very nice and easy person to deal with.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet Lily! She always loves being with you and Chico (and always seems a little sad when she comes home after 😆). We appreciate your flexibility and love for her so much!”
“Brooke was immediatly responsive to our request. She sent us updates, videos and pictures on her own. Her home was safe with baby gates and a fenced yard. She even bought her presents for Christmas. I recommend her and will definitely continue to use her in the future.”
“My little morkie had another wonderful stay with Maria and Jose! It is so comforting to go on a trip and not worry about my pup. They are excellent at communicating daily and treat her as one of the family. I highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I started dog sitting at people’s homes with my cousin when I was just 10 years old, and ever since then I’ve loved helping care for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently the Executive Assistant at Pawsitively Posh Pet Resort & Spa and the Rescue Coordinator at Pawsitively Posh Pet Rescue, where I work hands-on with animals every day. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs and understand the importance of routines, medications, and extra attention to their needs. Along with dogs, I’ve also helped care for horses and cows, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I have very flexible hours and will match your pet’s routine exactly. If you feed at 7–8am, I’ll do the same, and if dinner is at 6–7pm, I’ll follow that schedule too. If your pet needs medication, I’ll stay consistent with your timing as well. I don’t make your pet fit my schedule—I fit yours, so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free I have a safe, fenced yard and dogs of my own, so if your dog is friendly they’ll have a great companion—but if not, that’s completely okay too. I always adjust to your pet’s comfort level and needs, whether that means space, separation, or extra attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away.
“We had Vicky watch our dachshund Vienna for the first time last weekend and we couldn’t be happier. Vienna looked so happy and Vicky sent us lots of photos and videos along the way. We really appreciate having someone we trust watch our little girl! Highly recommend!”
“Cowgirl had such a good time! Joseph was awesome, super responsive and reassuring. She got to make some friends every day and I will for sure be bringing Cowgirl back next time we’re in the area.”
“Sabrina is great. A great communicator and very understanding about my little Jada who is a bit anti social. She took perfect care and we would love to have her look after Jada again.”
“I could not recommend Brody more!!! He was amazing with my pup and sent lots of pics and videos to make me feel comfortable. I love how he has big fenced in yards for the pups. My Luda man had so much fun making me doggy friends over at Brody’s!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“We were taking the kids to great wolf lodge. This was a last minute booking Elizabeth was so accommodating. I sent the request at 1pm she replied immediately. Leo adapted well she sent updates on how he was adjusting which made me feel at ease since this was my first time leaving him. I would definitely recommend her if you’re in that area.”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Amy and Jason are amazing!! Very welcoming!! Prepared; Mochi is part of their family when there, they treat her as one of their own! Could not have asked for more…Mochi returns home very calm and gets back into real life at home quickly. Thank you! If you are hesitant; don’t be!!”
“Morgan is a treasure!, the perfect fit for my anxious little dog, who loved her almost immediately! It was so nice to know I had left her in such trustworthy hands. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! 5 ⭐️ sitter!”
“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”

“Erin dropped in on our cats while we were away. We enjoyed seeing pictures of them! Excellent communication and took care of them as we had instructed. Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Gwendolyn was great! We have 2 cats, and we definitely care a lot about them (as most pet people do probably), and this was the first time leaving them for a full week so we were a little worried to say the least. Gwendolyn showed up a few days prior to meet the cats and we showed her all the things we needed her to check. The cats came right up to her and seemed to love her from the start! We are also in the process of selling our home, so a few times we had inspectors and appraisers come through and she even came at different times and even short notice to check on them! She clearly showed love & care for our pets and we definitely recommend her for any of your pets needs. She will clearly love them like her own! Highly recommended.”

About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially cats and dogs. I began pet sitting at people’s homes with my cousin when I was 10 years old, and over the years I’ve gained experience caring for pets with many different personalities and needs. I’m currently the Executive Assistant at Pawsitively Posh Pet Resort & Spa and the Rescue Coordinator at Pawsitively Posh Pet Rescue. I also have experience caring for diabetic cats and understand how important patience, schedules, medications, and gentle care are for pets with special needs. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for horses and cows.

“So happy Rosaria was available for my last minute booking. I will definitely be using her in the future she’s so kind and sweet to my dogs they loved their time with her. She went above and beyond letting them play out all their energy.”
About: **Before booking.... I work full time Mon - Fri. I am not home during those times, but I am available any time after I get off of work. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day.** For some reason this site doesn't show this information. I have grown up around and have been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and ages. Some breeds I have experience with are Pit Bulls, Boxers, Mini Pins, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, Dingo, and the list goes on! The last office job I had also included dog sitting for the owner and his wife's dogs. They kept me good company and visa versa. Some of my friends call me the dog whisperer. I seem to give the dogs with anxiety a sense of ease when I am around them. I love to pet them and rub around their favorite spots that relax them. I.E, ears, belly, and neck. Sometimes I tend to find myself talking to them like they are a little baby lol I keep my rates on the lower end because I love being around dogs and I know we all just need a break sometimes or can't afford a sitter when a family function is important to attend. I want to help make things easier and manageable for you to take a trip or get away. Things are expensive these days and I don't want my rates for watching your fur baby to be one of them 🙂 I'm currently available everyday of the week and ready to play and be a part of you and your pups life 🙂 You're routine becomes my routine. I treat your babies just like I treat mine, with lots of love and attention. I mean they are the rulers of our home 😁 lol

I will care for your pets however you would like. I can do long walks, short walks, provide medications, specially prepared meals, play games, etc. I specialized in elderly dogs, hospice dogs and medical needs dogs when I fostered.
“Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly! Even though my dog gave her some difficulty in the beginning she was patient and quickly made him feel very comfortable with her. She always sent photos and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and comfort their cats while away. I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and especially good with shy or sensitive cats who need patience and a gentle presence.
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I work fully remote and am willing to travel. I would be able to give full attention to your pets. Since my job is remote, it gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Most of my days are spent behind a monitor working. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

“Jasper loves hanging out with Samantha and the rest of the animals. He gets lots of exercise and socialization that is soooo needed for my only child (dog). Samantha works from home and so do I, so Jasper is comfortable hanging out under the desk while we work and he does that with her too. I appreciate that because most of the time he is with me and my husband only. I hope to bring him once or twice a week in the future for daycare. Samantha is great with pics and to let you know your pet is doing ok.”
“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”
“She was amazing! I have a pug and haven't left him with anyone before and was super nervous but she sent me photos and videos very often which was amazing! I think he had a great time and is super tired for a car ride home!”
“I am a first time Rover user and my Chloe stayed with Shirley and Jeff all day yesterday to get acquainted with them and their home. All I can say is when I came to pick her up, she was relaxed, happy and didn't really care that I was there. You don't know how happy this made me. Thank you Shirley and Jeff for treating Chloe like your own. She'll be back for more love..... Donna & Guy”

“Elsa loved staying with Brooke and I felt so much at ease having her there while I was away. I appreciate Brooke working with my schedule during my long day shifts.”
“This is my 2nd review - both 5 stars! Jose & Maria take such good care of my precious Clementine. They listen & follow through with instructions, communicate quickly & genuinely care about my pup. Clementine has done both doggy daycare & boarding, both experiences have gone really well :)”
“We were in a position where we had to find another doggie day care and boarding option. Fortunately we found Brody. He is obviously good with dogs, calm, communicative, and accommodating. Most importantly, our dog is happy to be there. We will definitely be using Brody from now on!”
“Samuel and Erica were amazing! So nice and accommodating on our last minute request. Our dog had a blast at their house and came home happy and tired from all the playtime with their dog! Who could ask for more. Highly recommend”

“Rita was wonderful with my baby, Harper! She made sure Harper was comfortable in the setting and greeting process, then introduced her to the other dogs in her care that day. I will definitely use Rita for daycare and overnight stays in the future.”
“It was good having someone so close to where I’m staying. I completely trusted her with my girl Zoe. I only had to leave Zoe for 3 to 4 hours when I was working and it completely slipped my mind at rest. I highly recommend Vicki and will absolutely use her when I can again”

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Pet Nanny Pet Sitters was founded on a lifetime of love for all animals. I am a mother of three and grandmother of four. I grew up living on a black Angus cattle farm. I have been riding horses since I can remember. I have always been surrounded by pets of every kind. Each one was a member of our family. I have nursed several of my own thru extensive surgeries, kidney problems, incontinence and much more. I have taken a course from UCF in pet care. I am a member of Pet Sitters International. I pet sit full time so I am available 7 days a week for any of your day or night time pet needs. I am part of a great group of sitters who love what they do! I will enter your house in a calm state to ensure an enjoyable experience for your pet. Hugs and kisses are given once in to give your pets the love they deserve. Before letting your dogs out in the yard I check to make sure all fence gates are secure. I will let your dog out into the yard and stay with them while they potty and play. I never leave them alone. I clean up after them and return inside. Meals are given at your scheduled time. I always leave fresh water before departing your home. I secure every door before I leave. On overnight stays I bring my own bed linens, towels and food and drink. The last thing you need is more laundry when you get home from vacation!
About: I am a "fur momma" to our rescue Rhea; 12 y/o 22 lb jack russell terrier, beagle mix. She is like watching NASCAR fueled by narcotics. We love running the yard and playing fetch, however our favorite thing is taking walks or hikes. When I come home from work I love to unwind and just cuddle the pups. I work very well with all animals and a trusting individual that strives on integrity and work ethic. I have several jobs that require my attention. However, I mange my work load wisely to service others. After work hours puppy lovins is something I look forward to at the end of my day. Research shows that it helps boost serotonin levels. I have a small fenced yard at my property, an extra wire kennel, and a separate room to provide the baby some quiet space. I have interior and exterior cameras on the property.
About: What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each pet - I take time to learn their routine, quirks, and what makes them happy. I’m reliable, caring, and always aim to make their time with me fun, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally- morning feeds, walks, and playtime are part of the daily rhythm. On the weekends, I do things like bathe and cleaning up their space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely. I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while keeping everything clean and consistent.
About: I’ve helped take care of every animal you can think of! Having a big family gave me plenty of opportunities to learn and grow with different animals I attend college two days a week and work the night shift at my job! My day starts pretty early so I have a little too much free time and would love to spend it caring for animals! As long as the animal is provided with every basic essential it needs I will go above and beyond to tend to every need your pet has

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention.

About: I believe dogs, like people, need exercise and play time, and lots of love! I am so excited to play with your dogs! I will treat your pets and your home with the care and affection I would exercise on my own home. Animals and hiking are my true passions, so being out in nature with your pup is always a dream come true for me. We will stay active and engaged together to distract them from how much they miss you. Please check out my ample references. I have owned, cared for, and trained dogs all my life, and I love to fill my life with their infectious positivity. I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns, and I will reply as soon as possible! I like to help anyone who needs help! People aren't traveling as much as they used to, so I also clean houses, refinish decks, and am a notary public. I prioritize the pet care, and make my other puzzle pieces fit around your fur babies. I have 24.5 acres- 22 of it is an extensive old forest network with trails weaving around. The meadow area would make a great place to play fetch and enjoy the environment. The attention, exercise and great smelling work will keep your dog engaged and happy in your absence.
About: I have over 45 yrs of experience in pet care. I was a dog trainer (now partially retired), owned my own pet sitting business for many years, fostered/adopted many rescues and I currently volunteer at and support several rescues. Animals are my heart and soul and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and I will make myself available for your pet 24/7 whether it's late night potty trips outside or long walks during the day. I will care for your pets however you would like. I can do long walks, short walks, provide medications, specially prepared meals, play games, etc. I specialized in elderly dogs, hospice dogs and medical needs dogs when I fostered.
About: Have had pets my entire life, bred multiple reptiles in the past, have had several dogs over the years, exotics, still have a 23 year old african grey who is my middle child who won't leave the nest, spent a decade volunteering at a no-kill shelter, multiple animal rescues, have worked in multiple veterinary offices, been vegetarian since 1997, worked as a vegan chef in several restaurants, and still love to cook for potlucks, friends and fun! I'm currently just working a few days a week in a restaurant, no other commitments. Plus it's the longest I've ever been without companion animal of my own, so I have extra time and love to give at the moment. Will follow the owners instructions to the tee, and more often than not spend additional time when possible. I'm currently without pets of my own which is rare for me, so I have an ample amount of attention and care to spare!
“Sarah was great! Very kind and great communication. Loved seeing all the pictures she took of Enzo on his walk. He always looked so happy! Sad she’s leaving the state for a few months but definitely looking forward to working with her again when she returns.”
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I work fully remote and am willing to travel. I would be able to give full attention to your pets. Since my job is remote, it gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Most of my days are spent behind a monitor working. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

“I have never boarded before, or much less been away from my dog, but Samantha made me feel so relaxed! Sent pics and notes via text to ease my mind!! It helped so much!! Thank you!! She really cared for my dog and my Mom's!! Mom: some magic that Samantha did to my dog....now he's wagging tail and running around like never before! So appreciate her loving the dogs like she has! If the need comes again we will definitely will be calling her again!!! AAA+++”
“Katie & Jeremy were very communicative and provided updates throughout my dog’s whole stay which helped so much. My dog takes a while to open up around new people and they were very patient and understanding with him.”
“She made my separation from my baby a lot easier with plenty of videos and text. Chubbs seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend her. She is also a very nice and easy person to deal with.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet Lily! She always loves being with you and Chico (and always seems a little sad when she comes home after 😆). We appreciate your flexibility and love for her so much!”
“Brooke was immediatly responsive to our request. She sent us updates, videos and pictures on her own. Her home was safe with baby gates and a fenced yard. She even bought her presents for Christmas. I recommend her and will definitely continue to use her in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I started dog sitting at people’s homes with my cousin when I was just 10 years old, and ever since then I’ve loved helping care for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently the Executive Assistant at Pawsitively Posh Pet Resort & Spa and the Rescue Coordinator at Pawsitively Posh Pet Rescue, where I work hands-on with animals every day. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs and understand the importance of routines, medications, and extra attention to their needs. Along with dogs, I’ve also helped care for horses and cows, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I have very flexible hours and will match your pet’s routine exactly. If you feed at 7–8am, I’ll do the same, and if dinner is at 6–7pm, I’ll follow that schedule too. If your pet needs medication, I’ll stay consistent with your timing as well. I don’t make your pet fit my schedule—I fit yours, so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free I have a safe, fenced yard and dogs of my own, so if your dog is friendly they’ll have a great companion—but if not, that’s completely okay too. I always adjust to your pet’s comfort level and needs, whether that means space, separation, or extra attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away.
“Cowgirl had such a good time! Joseph was awesome, super responsive and reassuring. She got to make some friends every day and I will for sure be bringing Cowgirl back next time we’re in the area.”
“Sabrina is great. A great communicator and very understanding about my little Jada who is a bit anti social. She took perfect care and we would love to have her look after Jada again.”
“I could not recommend Brody more!!! He was amazing with my pup and sent lots of pics and videos to make me feel comfortable. I love how he has big fenced in yards for the pups. My Luda man had so much fun making me doggy friends over at Brody’s!”
“We were taking the kids to great wolf lodge. This was a last minute booking Elizabeth was so accommodating. I sent the request at 1pm she replied immediately. Leo adapted well she sent updates on how he was adjusting which made me feel at ease since this was my first time leaving him. I would definitely recommend her if you’re in that area.”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Samuel and Erica were great! I got lots of pictures and feedback. Samuel and Erica have Lana well trained as others have stated, and it’s evident. Moose settled in with them pretty quickly. Moose is small and didn’t want to play. They both learned to peacefully co-exist just as Samuel and Erica have experienced with other small pups. I highly recommend them!”
“Thank you so much, Jennifer! My puppy did great while with Jennifer and she sent photos and videos. He also was having some stomach issues and she got him some new food. Thank you again!! :) Would definitely book again!!”
“Jesse did a great job taking care of our large mixed breed. She can be an anxious dog but she seems to have really settled down with Jesse. He sent us regular updates and pics to let us know how things were going. We will definitely be using Jesse again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for my own pets throughout adulthood, including German Shepherds for the past 10 years. I live with my German Shepherd and two indoor cats, who are very much my babies, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with that same level of love and attention. Horses were also a huge part of my childhood. I had my own horse growing up and cared for horses from fifth grade through high school, so I’m very comfortable around larger animals. I especially love big dogs and am comfortable with large or intimidating breeds. I own my home, which sits on an acre of land with a large, fenced backyard. There are no shared walls or homes stacked around us, so dogs staying with me have a private, peaceful space with plenty of room to play, sniff, and relax. I also work for myself, which gives me a completely flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home with your pets. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home while they’re here. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work for myself and primarily work remotely from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day. If I need to step out for work, it’s usually only for a few hours, and I’m never far from home. I also love being outside, so if your dog is an adventure dog, I’m always happy to have a hiking or outdoor buddy! For dogs who prefer to stay closer to home, my large, fully fenced yard gives them plenty of space to play, sniff, and enjoy some fresh air without needing to go anywhere. I’m happy to match your dog’s routine and personality, whether they want an active day of walks and outdoor adventures or a quieter day of backyard time, naps, and lounging around the house. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for a dog. I know that being in a new home with a new person can be stressful, so I’m patient and give each dog time to settle in and get comfortable at their own pace. I also have personal experience caring for a reactive dog, so I understand the importance of paying attention to body language, respecting boundaries, and being proactive about potential triggers. If a dog is comfortable and enjoys other dogs, I’m happy to gradually introduce them to my German Shepherd, Klaus. If they prefer their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep dogs comfortably separated when needed. I’ll always follow your instructions and prioritize what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable during their stay.
About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.
