“Great place for our fur baby. Bobbye is really good on animals. We felt comfortable and had peace of mind while traveling. Leaving our dog with her was a good decision we made on our part. She had nice big yard for dogs to explore, play and do their business, and also good companies. We were so grateful we found Bobbye, we definitely be a repeat customer if we ever go for a trip again.”
“Cindy was super awesome and accommodating. My pup was a handful but she was patient and handled her with love and kindness. Thanks again! Will keep you marked for future care.”
“We needed pet boarding last minute for a Christmas trip and Danielle helped us out and did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby! Our pup had never been away from us for more than a few hours and Danielle handled her separation anxiety like a pro! She was so sweet to our pup and kept us updated the entire time. She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”
“Amanda was great with my dog Nelson. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times when holiday plans changed. She has a wonderful way with animals and I felt extremely comfortable leaving Nelson with her. Her home had plenty of space for him to run and play. I will be using her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Megan went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of. Took her to the park and on multiple walks a day. She welcomed our dog into her home with open arms and spoiled her everyday. Can’t recommend Megan enough. 10/10!!!”

About: I’ve cared for cats both at home and in a clinical setting, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, and maintaining clean, safe environments. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and monitoring health indicators like temperature or behavior changes. I have a genuine love for cats and take extra care with things like deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping their spaces comfortable and stress-free. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience, veterinary practicum training, and passion for providing individualized care—making sure each cat feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
“Megan is fantastic! My cat was super comfortable with her which gave me such peace of mind. She posted a ton of pictures and was super communicative! I would absolutely not hesitate to have Megan watch my cat again!”
“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
“Cindy was great with a quick response to take Woodfords booking last minute. Unfortunately he had to undergo emergency surgery (unrelated to her care) and I had to cancel, but Cindy’s immediate confirmation and response time was great and I hope to book with her again when Woodfords feeling better.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and am able to help train dogs in being potty trained. I am extremely caring for dogs and enjoy learning how your pet experiences their own life!

I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed.

About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.

“If you're looking for a place to board your furry family members while you're away, look no further than the services offered by Brooke. From the moment I drove on to the property, I knew my dog Luna was in excellent hands. Brooke greeted me warmly and took the time to get to know Luna’s unique personality and needs and treated Luna like one of her own. You can tell she genuinely cares about the well-being and happiness of all four-legged guests. The home and surrounding property grounds are clean, and designed with pets' comfort in mind. One of the best things about Brooke is the daily updates she provides. Throughout the day, I received photos of Luna playing, and snuggling with the other four-legged guests. It gave me such peace of mind to see how happy and well-cared for Luna was. A True Home Away from Home, from the moment I dropped off Luna until I picked her up, I knew she was in a safe, loving environment. Luna came home tired but content, which is the best endorsement a pet parent could ask for. I highly recommend Brooke’s pet boarding services.”
“Excellent! I highly recommend. She genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. Even my dog knows, I have a dog with anxiety and he took to her right from the start. I will use her again.”
“Monica was excellent. Our previous dog watcher moved so it was intimidating trying to find someone else. I feel like Monica was the best choice. She has a backyard and provided comfortable accommodations and space for Ginger. Her dog is also friendly! While we were away in Europe, she would send photos every day. It was comforting waking up to pictures of Ginger relaxed and happy. She was very communicative with us and caring with Ginger. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry loved one.”
“Bonnie was an AMAZING sitter for my big German Shepherd. She responded quickly to all my messages and provided videos and pictures. My dog had an amazing time with her and her fur babies. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it helped that she had large dogs herself. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
