“Debbie took such good care of our dog and is a great communicator. Our Rosie was nervous about meeting a new care giver and her dogs when we dropped her off. Debbie assured me she was “doing good” and Rosie was relaxed, happy, and very well cared for when we picked her up. Thanks to Debbie and Rover for top-notch care for our pup!”
“Calista was attentive and loving with our dog, he had such a good time and was taken care of SO well! He has sensitive stomach and needed some special care while we were gone. It was no big deal to her and she gave him probiotics, yogurt, bone broth, all the good things and was a happy pup. So grateful to know he has lots of play time, walks, and was loved on while we were gone. He also hit it off with their dog and made a new friend!! So grateful we found Calista and her cute family to love on our dog.”
“Ashleen is awesome and I never worry about my dog in her care. We have used her to watch our Bernedoodle several times and will be doing so in the future. Very kind and compassionate and great communication”
“This is the second time we’ve left our Siberian Husky puppy with Pamela. He seemed to recognize her and was so excited to see her again! He loves staying with her. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brooke was wonderful! She took great care of Mipha and sent lots of photos of our pup having fun. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pickup time, and our puppy came home super happy!”
“Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!”
“Emily is terrific! This is the third time that she has watched my dog for me. I get the cutest pictures of Bonnie playing, having snuggles, going for walks, etc. I know that Bonnie has a great time with Emily and her family and Bonnie comes home happy and tired LOL. I trust Emily and recommend her 1,000% It's not always easy to find a sitter for my tiny dog, so I'm very grateful to be able to call on her!”
“Heidi was so great with our dog.I checked my cameras often and she was so dependable showed up when she said she was. You can tell she really had a love for dogs because was always playing with her. I will definitely be using Heidi the next time I go out of town.”
“Jessalyn and her family were so great for our puppy! He did awesome with them. She was super responsive and gave me updates during the two days he was with them. I would absolutely trust her again.”
“Cody and Amanda are great with Mia! She loves going to their home and seeing her great friends, especially Cody. We are really pleased with the care Mia gets there!”
“Makenna and Clint could great care of Homer! They took time to play with him and make sure he felt welcome in their home, and had a large fenced in back yard for him to run and play in. We will use them again for sure!”
“Summer was awesome with my dog! She went on daily walks and I received updates even when I was out of service, which was SO nice to receive when I came back from my trip. Photos were great and her whole family was super sweet & involved!”
“Damaris is amazing!! She took SUCH great care of our dog, and kept us updated with videos and pictures each day. She was very responsive and kind, and we had such peace of mind on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands! ☺️”
“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”
“Rebeca did a fabulous job taking care of my dog! She was so understanding and caring. She sent pictures every day and took Luna on walks. Luna came home happy and tired. I would love to have Rebeca take care of my dog again. 😊”

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me. Home during the day for the summer months so I have plenty of time to love on your pup. I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.
“Julie is our go-to anytime we’re going out of town. She is reliable and provides updates while we’re gone. She even brought in super heavy packages that came ahead of schedule when we were out of town. That is going above and beyond!”
“Camille was amazing with our dog today. She went out of her way to make sure he was well looked after and made sure we knew how he was all day. She has such a loving and kind personality and we won’t hesitate to have her take care of him again.”
About: I’ve had my rescued dog for 8 years and a rescued cat for 3 years. I love animals and treat my fur babies like family with all my love and company. I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibilities to accommodate your fur family. I'm usually home with my pets except a few hours at a time to run errands. I have a medium sized dog and a cat at home. They are friendly to new friends. The backyard is unfenced, my dog enjoys running and sniffing around. Your fur-baby will have potty breaks in the backyard supervised and will have so much play time there.
“Ellie was great with our two cats while we were out of town. We were so appreciative that she was willing to check in on them during the holidays. Our cats were in good hands, and we're grateful for Ellie's awesome help!”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable and caring, and I highly recommend her services. Notably, she went above and beyond when she noticed my older dog had developed a sore that required a vet visit. I truly appreciate Michelle for taking him to the vet and ensuring he received the necessary care. Having her do the drop-in visits was a much better option for my dogs compared to boarding. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and proud cat mom to two cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their needs. I have experience administering oral medications, topical medications, and injections to cats and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’ll make sure your cat stays on their routine while you’re away, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of love (if they want it!). I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit to give you peace of mind. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own.
About: I am a farm girl who has cared for feral cat populations my whole life from coast to coast. I've had lots of indoor babies as well. Able to provide all levels of home care & love them as much as they allow while you're away 💛
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.

“Oatmeal has the best time at Ashleens! She loves hanging out with miss Moxie and all the kiddos! Every morning when we make the turn she jumps with excitement to see her friends! I highly recommend Ashleen and so does Oatmeal!!!”
“Absolutely amazing! Cody took our dogs for a walk, played with them, the house was clean and gated off for areas he didn’t want the dogs to explore. Fantastic communicator; we will absolutely use Cody and Amanda again.”
“Debbie is AMAZING! I was literally shocked when she sent me the first photo. No one else has ever done that for us. And then she sent more. Wow! Our little Tucker seemed so happy when I picked him up and we are so extremely excited to have found Debbie. She is kind, professional, and took good care of our fur baby. I believe he was comfortable and felt secure with Debbie and her “girls”. I am planning to leave him again and then again and again, if she can take him for us. She is awesome. Thank you Debbie!”
“If I could give this woman 10 starts I would! She is so amazing and works so well with your schedule. I had to extend my pickup time by 3 hours and she accommodated. I will 100% be coming back.”
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, a boxer/dane mix, 1 cat, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
“Katherine was great at keeping me in the loop, consistently sending photos of my pup playing with the others in her care. I can’t ask, but I’m sure if I could, my dog Cleo would say she had a great time (based on the photos). Would happily book with Katherine again in the future.”
“I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Rebeca and her family. Her daughter and Nico, their dog took such good care of my dog. They treated her like a member of their family.”
About: I have trained and raised dogs since I was little. We have experience with Saint Benards, Bernese Mountain dogs golden retrievers and Newfoundlands. We like big dogs! I am a stay at home dad and have all day to provide care and help with any needs your dogs may have or need. Well behaved and trained dogs can be in our house or out in the backyard. Our dogs are about 50/50 inside and outside mainly because our newfy gets hot regularly
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I treat every dog like my own. I've cared for senior dogs with special needs, energetic puppies, and everything in between. Whether it's rain or shine, I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to giving your pet the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. I have the privilege to work from home Monday- Friday and can have a flexible schedule to care for peoples dogs and cats. My job allows me the flexibility to adjust my schedule if needed to some degree. ex. extended lunches. I can work remotely from anywhere for overnight stays during the week if needed as long as there is wifi. We have a large fenced in yard for dogs to give them a place to run and play safely. Our house is dog friendly. They are kept in the house and treated like family to create a safe, trusting environment. We have a dog door for dogs to use at their leisure. We treat them like children. They are allowed on the furniture and we love cuddling with all dogs. We don't mind dog fur but try to keep a clean environment for everyone.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I love them like family. I have raised puppies and have taken care of senior dogs with medications. I will keep things organized and clean. Both my husband and I work from home. I only work part time and can make lots of time for play with your dogs. They will not spend long hours with nobody at home as both of us are home majority of the time! I have a fenced yard and one 13 year old cockapoo who is friendly with other dogs. I do have 2 outdoor cats that will be around but generally keep their distance from dogs.
About: I've been a dog owner for the past 18 years and truly understand that pets are part of the family. My home is full of love, with five kids who enjoy playing with and giving attention to dogs, so your pup will have plenty of companionship, although I will be the only caregiver to your pet. We also have a friendly Sheepadoodle who loves making new dog friends and gets along well with other pups. I'll treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I work from home and am available all day and night to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy during their stay with us. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any medications they may need. My home has a friendly Sheepadoodle who enjoys having canine companions, and my fully fenced yard provides a safe space for supervised play and exercise. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and they receive plenty of love, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been around animals my whole life, they bring me joy and I love to surround myself with them. I hold high regard and respect for furry and feathered creatures. I jump at the opportunity to care for friends' pets, and I'd like to open my home to your loved ones too and develop a relationship. I don't have any furry house friends of my own currently, but I do have a working 16 acre farm with a variety of small livestock, cats and birds. I love each and every one of them. I am well versed in basic medical care of animals. My latest diabetic cat lived with insulin shots twice a day for 3+ years. Pets that I sit can either roam around the farm with me as I work, or stay in my cozy house and receive regular visits throughout the day. Dogs tend to be thoroughly entertained with a big smile on their face. If allowed, your dogs will enjoy various pasture-raised, organic treats from the farm. I see a lot of benefits to dogs that get safe, controlled exposure to farm life and being around other species. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes with me. I have trails close by where we can get additional exercise and exploration. Animals in my care get loads of attention, love and entertainment. I also have resident farm hands that love animals, offering extra social interaction and playtime. I work full time on my 16 acre regenerative farm. Pets in my care get loads of love and attention. More active dogs can roam around the farm with me, always close by with a ball or toy. Less active, retired, older pups can hang out in my home and receive regular visits throughout the day. They will never go long without love and interaction. My home is big and spacious with lots of lounging areas. The farm has some fenced areas, and generally dogs do fine hanging out close by, or as needed can stay on a leash or a cabled run nearby. I alao have a 10 x 16 fenced kennel run available. Pets are never left outside unattended, but get loads of outside time if desired. I also have daily farm hands that all love animals and love to play with them. Pups love farm life! Did I mention they will get pasture-raised organic lamb and turkey treats if their parents allow it?
About: I grew up on a farm and have always owned both pets and farm animals. I live in a little home with a big backyard, fully fenced. I have a lovely springer spaniel, named Frankie and a Bengal cat. I work from home. I do run some errands through the week but I am home most of the time. I love to get out and get my dog moving on local trails or just for a quick walk. Pets can roam around my home while I am there. Preferably crate trained so I can put them in their crate if I have to run an errand. I let them out throughout the day and night for potty time in the backyard. I also like to take them for walks.

About: Our family first started with 2 puppies and have increased and decreased over the years. We love animals and dogs especially. I have self groomed my schnauzer for 10 years and have the tools to do bath care and simple grooming. We are currently at 4 kids and 2 dogs and 3 snakes. Kids ages 10-18. We live a block away from a canyon trail so extra walks and exercise is quick and easy! I am an intuitive massage therapist and have worked on several animals in and around injury, anxiety and emotional distress. I work part time nearby and in my home as a massage therapist. We are usually always around for weekends and holidays. With already two dogs we are very accustomed to regular care. I have a fence between the kitchen and living room that keeps pets in the main part of the home but also has easy access to a fenced in back yard through a doggie door. The pets become part of the family whether it’s taking them to bed or on walks or to play outdoors. We will do our best to follow the similar rules as your house such as where they sleep, allowed on furniture, etc.
“Jessie has walked our dog Kelly a number of times. She came over to meet Kelly, was super receptive to our care routine, and Kelly’s needs. She shared great pictures and details of Kelly’s walks and made sure she was happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a great dog walker in your neighborhood, contact Jessie!”
“Samantha was great! Super easy to work with and flexible. We reached out with little notice and she was able to fit us in her schedule. She kept in great contact and was very responsive. Thank you again!”
“Julie is always terrific! She's flexible and responsive with scheduling, and she loves my dogs and she's so good with them! They love her, they get all excited when they see it's her at the door and they come back tired and happy!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life. I’ve taken care of them for 37 years. I love animals more than people!! I’ve had many different kinds of animals. Some which have been dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, snakes, you name it. I’ve probably had it. I love to be around them, they bring me so much happiness to see them happy! I will take great care of your pet! Your pet will be loved on and played with and will not lack attention! You can trust me to take great care and do whatever you need me to do to make your pet happy and comfortable. I would love to be that person to help you and your furry friend when you need someone!!
“Oceana is the best!! She has been so patient and kind with my anxious pup who can be slow to trust. I always know my dog will be well taken care of when she takes her on walks. She responds quickly to messages and sends photo updates. Definitely recommend booking her!!”
About: I have had various animals throughout my life. I grew up with animals both inside and outside of my home including numerous dogs (multiple breeds), cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters; as well as rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, and horses outdoors. I know that happy animals are ones that are well cared for, feel loved, and are respected. I worked briefly at a dog & cat daycare/boarding facility to help a friend for just under a year which was beneficial in learning to address multiple animals at once in a combined group care area. Following provided procedures in this capacity was critical to keep all pets healthy, safely contained, and happy in group play. I have never lived in a pet-free home and wouldn't want to! Pets bring the magic and fun to a home and they love unconditionally while challenging us to be better humans. I am currently working in the Logan area Tues-Th with a lengthy lunch break in the middle of my day. I would love to spend the time walking the park with your fur baby so they can stretch their legs and get the wiggles out mid-day. Or we can spend the time together in your yard if you prefer they stay close to home. I am also available in the Logan area on weekends as well. My pets are my family, I go to great lengths to keep them safe and happy. I believe every pet parent feels the same about their own pets so I promise to treat your fur babies as I would my own. I will follow all provided instructions from each pet parent regarding their individual dog or cat. I understand that dogs and cats are just like kids with their own personalities, needs, likes and dislikes, so every instruction provided from you, their parents, will be followed with exactness to provide the care you would hope for and expect. I love to provide picture report cards while with your fur babies so you can have piece of mind that they are healthy and happy while you are away.

About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.
“Sierra has been so great with our dog! He is high energy and very large and she has handled him well and with an upbeat attitude. She is reliable and friendly, we so appreciate her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
About: I have always been surrounded with animals of all types and love taking care of them. I am currently working towards being an animal behavioralist and will pay close attention to what your pet needs. I am a student and a part time worker, but my main passion is taking care of animals. I will be unavailable Tuesday and Thursday from 12-2, but otherwise will be happy to see any animals. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment with my cat who is not very friendly so I am unable to bring your pet home. I am a very attentive caretaker and will spend as much time as they need together.
“Catsie clearly loves dogs and focuses on their behaviors and needs. She handled my greyhound very well, and even gave some suggestions based on her observations on the walk. She's great, I would recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for 5 years. I had a dog and four cat’s growing up. I know how to walk them , feed them with the right food, grooming experience, being playful and teaching them few tricks. I am available after 3:00pm but I’m available all weekend and holidays. I am willing to travel to your home to house sit your pets , take them potty , feed them and more. I have taken care of my pets by letting them go outside , take them to the parks , meet new dogs at the dog park, and more. I don’t have a fence at my apartment but I will keep a close eye on them.
About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care! I’m free most evenings, a few hours throughout the day, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and can usually work around your pup’s routine. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your space and your pet are safe. I follow your routines exactly feeding, walks, meds, and any specific instructions you have. You can trust that your pet will get gentle, attentive care and that your home will be treated with the same respect I’d give my own.
About: I have trained and raised dogs since I was little. We have experience with Saint Benards, Bernese Mountain dogs golden retrievers and Newfoundlands. We like big dogs! I am a stay at home dad and have all day to provide care and help with any needs your dogs may have or need. Well behaved and trained dogs can be in our house or out in the backyard. Our dogs are about 50/50 inside and outside mainly because our newfy gets hot regularly
About: I have grown up with animals my whole live from horses, to lambs to mainly dogs. I love ;learning about different dogs personalities and how to take care of them individually. I would one day like to train a working dog but for now just learning more about them. I live on a farm and your dog would have a lot of space to roam under close supervision. I do currently work a part time job however that still gives me plenty of time to spend with your dog or your dogs! I also have family members who would love to get to know your pet as well! With so much space to roam there will be a lot of walks for your dog. Pets are allowed inside the home however they are not allowed on furniture or beds. As I hjave said there is lots of space to roam and get exercise. They will not be allowed off leash unless given permission by you, the owner. I can keep the routine you have with your dog!

“Calista was attentive and loving with our dog, he had such a good time and was taken care of SO well! He has sensitive stomach and needed some special care while we were gone. It was no big deal to her and she gave him probiotics, yogurt, bone broth, all the good things and was a happy pup. So grateful to know he has lots of play time, walks, and was loved on while we were gone. He also hit it off with their dog and made a new friend!! So grateful we found Calista and her cute family to love on our dog.”
“This is the second time we’ve left our Siberian Husky puppy with Pamela. He seemed to recognize her and was so excited to see her again! He loves staying with her. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brooke was wonderful! She took great care of Mipha and sent lots of photos of our pup having fun. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pickup time, and our puppy came home super happy!”
“Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!”
“Jessalyn and her family were so great for our puppy! He did awesome with them. She was super responsive and gave me updates during the two days he was with them. I would absolutely trust her again.”
“Cody and Amanda are great with Mia! She loves going to their home and seeing her great friends, especially Cody. We are really pleased with the care Mia gets there!”
“Makenna and Clint could great care of Homer! They took time to play with him and make sure he felt welcome in their home, and had a large fenced in back yard for him to run and play in. We will use them again for sure!”
“Damaris is amazing!! She took SUCH great care of our dog, and kept us updated with videos and pictures each day. She was very responsive and kind, and we had such peace of mind on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands! ☺️”
“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”
“Rebeca did a fabulous job taking care of my dog! She was so understanding and caring. She sent pictures every day and took Luna on walks. Luna came home happy and tired. I would love to have Rebeca take care of my dog again. 😊”
“Nathan was great! He worked with our last minute appointment and was patient when we had timing changes day of. He helped our puppy get more comfortable with new dogs and people and kept us updated along the way. We felt very comfortable with him.”
“Becky did a great job taking care of our older dog. She stayed at our home and left it pristine! Becky also provided regular updates to make sure we knew our pup was doing well. We were so thankful to know Winston was in the care of a real dog lover.”
“Kassie was an amazing host! She took excellent care of our little Oscar and she gave constant updates! We felt very comfortable with Kassie's setup and we were happy that Oscar had a nice big fenced in area to run and play with friends. We would highly recommend Kassie to anyone else!!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the past 18 years and truly understand that pets are part of the family. My home is full of love, with five kids who enjoy playing with and giving attention to dogs, so your pup will have plenty of companionship, although I will be the only caregiver to your pet. We also have a friendly Sheepadoodle who loves making new dog friends and gets along well with other pups. I'll treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I work from home and am available all day and night to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy during their stay with us. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any medications they may need. My home has a friendly Sheepadoodle who enjoys having canine companions, and my fully fenced yard provides a safe space for supervised play and exercise. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and they receive plenty of love, attention, and snuggles throughout the day. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kimberly was great! Our dog was so we'll taken care of, I've never seen her this tired from a weekend of non stop fun. Kimberly was even nice enough to give our dog a bath as a nice surprise for us when we picked her up. Definitely would recommend, 10/10!”
