Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kimberly
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kimberly
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Bobbi sent consistent and adorable updates to let me know my girl was settling in and enjoying having a furry friend (Bobbi’s little pug) around. I felt comfortable leaving my girl with Bobbi and her sweet family!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Zoe had an amazing time with this family who have huskies too. She had so much fun and got a lot of exercise! I really appreciate Bobbie taking her last night with short notice. Highly recommend Bobbie and Clark for taking care of any breed. I will definitely bring Zoe over again.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Jesse and Chase made our first Rover experience amazing! They were so welcoming and understanding to our needs for our pup. Really enjoyed the great communication!”
“I'm thrilled to share my fantastic experience with Kristina, who cared for Hiro. Hiro had an incredible time and returned home happy and content. Kristine provided excellent care, and I appreciated her commitment to ensuring Hiro's well-being. She helped burn energy out of my high-energy Samoyed pup; I highly recommend her services! I will definitely book with her again when I go out of town!”
“Our dog, Mikey, had a great time at Korri’s house for the weekend again! We appreciate all the pictures and updates while we are go e to make being away from our baby a little easier.”
“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Anu and her family treated Duncan as their own! She kept us up to date on how Duncan was doing by sending us wonderful pictures and videos. Lots of love and fun! Duncan had a great time and we didn't worry a bit about our pup! Thank you Anu and family, we will certainly use your services again with Duncan.”
“Emma & Jacob (and Cosmo!) took such great care of Lucca while I was out of town. Communication was quick, and they provided regular (and adorable) updated throughout the stay. They were so sweet with her, and obviously had a lot of experience. I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're looking for people with an adorable dog to keep your fur-baby company.”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Morgan had a wonderful time. She has an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic arthritis. They did a great job of caring for her and understanding her needs. Highly recommend.”
“Samuel was wonderful and communicated everyday with us, sending updates and multiple photos of our two dogs. We have never left them before and he was very understanding and made them comfortable and happy. Fantastic experience! I will continue to only board with him going forward- Thanks again for a great experience!”

“Jasmine was fantastic! She is very professional, always responded quickly to any questions, and took great care of our puppy. She helped with some training (as the puppy was only 12 weeks old) and her own dog, Stryda, was a great playmate and teacher for our puppy.”

Cat caregivers near you - Kimberly
“Absolutely amazing! I had so much anxiety having someone else feed and do her meds because my cat doesn’t like people but she has a magic touch!! Loved the photos and detailed updates really helped with reassurance!! Will 100% be booking again for all my trips!”
“Great experience! Sara took wonderful care of my pet, always arrived within the timeframe, spent the entire allotted time giving love and affection, sent pics, asked great questions. Will definitely use Sara again!”
“Bobbie was great! It was our first time using Rover and I felt comfortable with her immediately. Our cats were taken care of very well and the pictures she sent looked like they enjoyed her company. We would definitely call her again.”
“Always appreciate Emma as a sitter! I have rebooked her 5 or so times now and this weekend I had zero phone service where I was, and I was completely confident my pet was okay because she has always been reliable and thorough!”
“Chase and Jessica really came through for us regardless of the short notice and length of time we needed care for our cats. They followed my instructions and keep our cats on their usual routine while we were away.”
“Travis was fantastic with our kitties! We hired him to stay with them and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We got multiple updates with pictures, and came home to a well kept home. Very reliable, great communication, and overall just a very nice person whose love for animals is obvious when you meet him. We’ll hire him again. 10 / 10 would recommend Travis.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my childhood. In the past two ish years I’ve watched some family members dogs. And for a little over a year I had two cats with my roommate. I don’t have skills I’m just here for a good time lol. The weekends I have available I’ll be free for the most part. Maybe some volunteering for a max of 4 hours but that’s it. Other request I’d have to see based off my work schedule. I would do everything instructed of me. Feed at scheduled time (or make sure there is food in the bowl). Fresh water every day. Try to play outside depending on weather.
“Josh does a fantastic job watching Aspen. He always makes sure she enjoys his company and that she gets energy out. Josh also goes above and beyond, leaving detailed notes about his visits and takes plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Josh to care for your dog.”
“Monica agreed to pet sit for our cat one more day because we were unable to get back home due to the snow. She sent us pictures of our yard with snow-covered trees too.”
“Samantha did a very nice job. on time, neat, fed the animals as requested, changed out the litter box, and communicated with me daily as requested. If she is available I will use here again. tom hennessy”
“Michelle is very sweet and trust worthy. I am so thankful she was able to take care of our kitties while we left and I know my cats definitely enjoyed her coming over, feeding & playing with them! She even went above and beyond to take our trash to the curb. 10/10 recommend Michelle :)”
“Briana was a fantastic catsitter for our very shy and anxious kitty. That fact that she sent me actual pictures of him is miraculous because usually he hides from strangers! Obviously she has a gift and we’d definitely have her back :)”
About: I've had cats in my house my entire life, with the exception of college. They are my heart and soul. I am the first person my friends & family think of when they need a cat sitter. I have cared for cats of all ages, from kitten to seniors. I also have experience administering medications. As a long time cat momma, I have decades of experience with these wonderful fluff balls!
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, helping out neighbors, family, and friends. I absolutely love spending time with them especially taking them on walks and making sure they’re happy and well cared for! I’m available to walk your dog on Mondays and Tuesdays anytime after 6:15 PM, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays anytime after 5:15 PM I am willing to arrange with your schedule also. I can do some weekends and arrange my weekends around yours if needed! I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick closely to their usual routine, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide
“Kari did a wonderful job with my pups! She was extremely responsive and helpful, even when my weekend plans went awry and we came home early. I will definitely be reaching out again if I need someone to stop in to care for my dogs.”
“Jessy has been amazing with our girls! She has great communication with us and we know we can count on her with our fur babies. We are looking forward to our on-going relationship!”
About: As a long time owner of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles I have the skills, patience, and experience to safely and lovingly watch over your fur friend/s. Being around all the pets especially dogs has always been a natural passion of mine. As much of a service this is for you and your dog, it is also very much beneficial to my own health and well being. I have learned over the years that dogs respond very well to my voice, commands, and body language. A lot of love, care, and compassion to give. I have an open schedule and availability with flexibility to meet any requests! Monday-Sunday. Mornings, Afternoons, or Evenings. I look forward to being a helping hand in enhancing the lifespan and overall well being of your best friend :) My current daily routine and schedule is in need of dog walking and pet sitting. I am focusing on pet care and curating a more pet filled lifestyle. Although I will not be using my own home for pet care services, I can guarantee that the level of care given will be treated as if it were my own.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kimberly
“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Extremely happy with Bobbie and Clark. Our 6 month old Shepard husky means the world to us and we were confident she was in good hands as the day progressed and we were sent updates. We will definitely be returning to them in the future and we wish we could give them 10 stars on the basis of communication and care for our beloved pet!”
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
“My Jojo loved her stay with Maria today! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I appreciated all the timely communication- even before we arrived. Amazing service. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. From a litter of beagle puppies to King & Queen to Sandy our cocker spaniel and Pepper the Schnauzer. In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally. My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby. I am an active retired female with lots of time & energy to care for your loved one. My hours are very open and I can be flexible with schedule I have a nice backyard with long leads/leash to connect pet indoors before letting out. Also very nice trail walks in area. I enjoy keeping your dog in good shape with a little exercise and a calm relaxing home to come back to
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
“i can not say enough wonderful things about Ally…I know our little Ruthie feels the same. From the walks to the park and on the trails, to the play time and rest time Ally was a pro! My only wish is that she lived in Kentucky! We will be in Appleton again soon and hope that Ally is available for Ruthie again…”
About: I’m a dog person through and through! I’ve only ever owned dogs my whole life, and I’d never have it any other way. Training them, playing with them, taking care of them, it all brings me so much joy. To me, dogs are one of life’s greatest gifts, a true blessing from God. They love without conditions and make every day a little brighter. I wouldn’t trade a single wagging tail or muddy paw print for anything. I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’m great with communication and always happy to keep you in the loop. Just give me a quick call or text, and I’d be more than glad to update you on how your dog is doing. Your pup will feel right at home with me! I have a fenced yard and a loving Australian Shepherd named Stryda, who’s sweet and playful with all dogs. Your dog will always have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a comfy, safe space to relax. I’ll keep them active, well cared for, and showered with attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a good play session, a cozy nap, or just some cuddles, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, and I’m always happy to keep you updated however you’d like.
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was roughly 14 years old, my mom travels a lot and has 4 large dogs that I take care of monthly. I am always down for a walk (or three)! I am knowledgeable on feedings, bathing, giving medications, and an array of other pupper needs! Plus, a day at the dog park is a day well spent! I work from home on a set schedule so I’m always available for furry friend company! Please message me for any additional availability questions as I am quite flexible. Safe and secure home, with the ability to kennel if you prefer. Will do multiple walks throughout day for boarding dogs. If you have a set schedule for potty breaks, feedings, etc I am more than willing to go over that and stick to your schedule!
About: I’ve taken care of friends pets as well as my own for several years. We live in a town home and work from home so your pet will get attention all day. Currently we are fostering for a dog rescue as our dog passed this spring. First thing in the morning take the dog out for a walk. Then every few hours repeat for short walks as I work from home. I’m in a town home so pets will be walked very regularly on a leash. Also have tennis courts that are fenced in if your dog is interested in playing ball. If your pet is a high energy we love taking pets to the parks for longer walks.
“Remy had the best time with Alysa and even though it was Doggy Day Care I felt really comfortable leaving Remy with her. She greeted us at her door and asked if we needed to have the dogs in separate rooms for introductions. It was that small consideration that made me feel instantly better about leaving my little heart behind. Thank you so much!”
About: I have some of my own "rescue pets". I have been a foster parent for the Green Bay Area Humane Society, The Appleton Humane Society, the Appleton Pit Crew, and Saving Paws rescue. I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I can walk your dog if you are not able to or don't have the time. I can watch your dog at my home, or if it is easier for your pet I offer home drop in services I own my home and I have a large yard. We can go for walks, play, go to the dog park, or just cuddle! I can either let your dog free roam in my house or if their more comfortable keep in a separate room from other pets. I work 2nd shift and I am available all morning. My husband and kids are home shortly after I leave for work and help take care of the dogs. I have a large yard that has privacy hedges {very woodsy like} around the entire property but no fenced in yard. When I would let your dog out they can go on the tie out cable leash that I have or we can go for a walk around the yard or even the neighborhood. If I do a drop in visit at your home you can let me know if they need to be fed, walked, play time, or just some loves.
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
About: My Journey in Animal Care: Personal and Professional Insights My experience in animal care combines both personal passion and professional expertise. For more than 20 years, I've had the joy of owning pets with scales, feathers, and fur. On the professional front, I have been involved in pet grooming, boarding, and veterinary clinics. Currently, I serve as a large animal equine veterinary assistant. Living on a farm in the countryside, I don’t have any dogs or cats, which means your beloved pet will receive dedicated, personalized care. I have a very flexible open schedule to suit your needs of finding a pet boarder. I am available weekdays or weekends. We can communicate if there is any changes. Most of the pet parents I work with provide me with thorough instructions for caring for their pets. I encourage clients to arrange a meet-and-greet with me before their pet's stay to discuss all details and address any health concerns. Furthermore, I want the pets to feel completely at ease with both me and my home prior to their stay.

“Travis is great! He was awesome about taking things at my dog's pace and is super professional and flexible. I'm glad to have found him and to have him as my dog walker!”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets and pet-sitting for others. My experience includes all age ages and sizes of dogs and cats, including rescue animals, French bulldogs, pitbulls and Persian cats. I also have some experience with giving medication to pets and caring for small animals such as hedgehogs and rabbits. I love all kinds of animals and take pride in understanding and respecting a pet's unique needs and boundaries, such as petting and feeding needs. I look forward to giving your pet the same love and respect I give my own! Over this summer I am completely flexible as I will be attending university at the start of fall. I will have a very flexible schedule for both booking appointments and playing/walking with your animals. I like to keep a strict feeding schedule-which can fit to your pets needs if they already have one-and a minimum walk time of 30 minutes daily. Pets are allowed everywhere in both yard and home. If needed or wanted I am willing and happy to send daily photos and/or videos of your pet to you for peace of mind!

“Sadie is very happy with her walks with Janet. She let's her sniff the tall grass for smells. Fun!! We are very appreciative of Janet. Sadie gets her walks when we aren't able to and is very happy and tired.”
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Megan and Kevin have done an amazing job with my girl! They are always reliable and are nice enough to to fit late evening dog walks in because I work long night shifts.

“Samantha was great with Zero! Gave him plenty of excercise and sent over great pics!!! She was mindful that it is hot out and gave him some fresh water so he could cool down. Would definitely have Samantha come back and walk Zero again! Thank you!”
About: Hello! I’m Taylor, a 23 year old animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Since I was young, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking dogs, feeding pets, providing companionship, and staying with them while their owners were away. I currently have two one-year-old cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel at ease. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I work full time and am responsible for being there Monday-Saturday but only if there are appointments. I’m available before work, in the afternoon/evenings, and on weekends for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so if you have a specific schedule or timing in mind, feel free to reach out. I’ll always make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks, make sure pets have fresh food and water, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and will always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 5 years. My specialty is taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. I’ve been a boarder and sitter with Wag for over three years and have had my own pups in the past before I enlisted active duty. Being able to care for pups gives me so much joy as a single woman with no children. I love to go on walks, dog parks and will make sure your pup gets all the care and attention he or she needs including giving meds if needed, bathing, and even mail clipping upon request. I currently work full time in the navy so I do most of my boarding on weekends but I do have a roommate that works an opposite shift and helps walk, play with, and take the pups to go potty when I’m at work throughout the day. I wake up early to let the pups out, and walk them either to the park or around the complex after work, set play dates (if the pup likes other doggies) and walk them and take them out before I go to bed as well. I have a very large open living room and solarium that allows the pups to have their own space to play and run around when it’s raining outside and the park is not optional for play time. I also have a large kitchen area with enough space for pet bowls and beds and I do allow the pups to sleep in the bed if they prefer. I do not have any safety concerns as my home is pup-proof. I take frequent potty breaks and am a light sleeper. Most pups I have boarded know how to let me know when they need to go outside, and for those who don’t, I go on a set schedule right after feedings and every few hours (2-4) depending on the pups age. More frequently if they are still potty training. I do take the dogs to the dog park for play time, exercise and activities.
“Jenny was great with Charlie. She did a great job of making sure Charlie’s didn’t suffer in freezing weather while still getting him to go to the restroom. He totally enjoyed his walks with her.”
About: I own a siberian husky at home and I grew up with a golden retriever. I dog sit for family and friends ranging from small dogs to big dogs. I am currently a college student but I am also an athlete so your dogs workout is also part of mine for the day! Fairly flexible schedule If you supply me with the information of how long they need to be walked, give me the leash and let me know if they have any food allergies (I always treat the pup after a good long walk) I’ll be all set to go.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since I was in elementary school. I have had family dogs all my life and now I have 2 dogs of my own. I raised one as a puppy and then adopted his brother about 2 years later. Raising my dogs has educated me in all the needs a dog possibly needs from food/water to stimulation to exercise. I’m around many weekends so I have a lot of flexibility and open time to drop in and take care of your dog! Whether it’s taking them for longs walks or just hanging out and keeping them company. If my dogs could talk they would probably tell you they are the kings of the house. The dogs in my home are treated like humans. Nothing but the best. They are allowed on furniture, beds, toys are out all day long. Having very high energy dogs of my own, I often go on many walks and hikes all around the area.
“Such a great couple! Jessica and Chase worked together to accommodate our schedule. They kept in contact and were punctual. Our dog loves them and I would definitely recommend them, but would like to keep them all for myself!”
“We and our dogs highly recommend Dillon. He walked both out huskies for a week while we were out of town. They can be challenging to walk together but Dillon did great with them. Good communication throughout.”

“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Our dog, Mikey, had a great time at Korri’s house for the weekend again! We appreciate all the pictures and updates while we are go e to make being away from our baby a little easier.”
“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Caitlin & Samuel were amazing with our dog! They provided pictures every day and were very flexible when we had to adjust our drop off time. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Anu and her family treated Duncan as their own! She kept us up to date on how Duncan was doing by sending us wonderful pictures and videos. Lots of love and fun! Duncan had a great time and we didn't worry a bit about our pup! Thank you Anu and family, we will certainly use your services again with Duncan.”
“Emma & Jacob (and Cosmo!) took such great care of Lucca while I was out of town. Communication was quick, and they provided regular (and adorable) updated throughout the stay. They were so sweet with her, and obviously had a lot of experience. I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're looking for people with an adorable dog to keep your fur-baby company.”
“Gina was great with Riley. We haven’t left him with people we didn’t know before and she did a great job of watching him and keeping us updated. Riley is quite energetic and he got many walks and time to explore to get his energy out. Highly reccomend Gina to anybody.”
“Samuel was wonderful and communicated everyday with us, sending updates and multiple photos of our two dogs. We have never left them before and he was very understanding and made them comfortable and happy. Fantastic experience! I will continue to only board with him going forward- Thanks again for a great experience!”

My passion is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by offering trustworthy, attentive care for your beloved furbabies.

“Jasmine was fantastic! She is very professional, always responded quickly to any questions, and took great care of our puppy. She helped with some training (as the puppy was only 12 weeks old) and her own dog, Stryda, was a great playmate and teacher for our puppy.”
“We had a great experience with Matthew! He took great care of our dog while we were away, sent photo updates and had great communication. Pickup and dropoff was when he said and when so smooth! Would love to send our pup with him again!!”
“Our young golden retriever had a great time with Susan and her girls and their dog Oreo. Susan sent daily updates and pictures, which was so nice. We will take Gatsby to vacation there the next time our family goes away.”
“Chad and Beth were great with Cooper! I was so worried when my previous plans for boarding fell through at the last minute and I had to book through a website without ever meeting them in person. Many establishments and people would not have even considered taking Cooper since he is a Pit Bull. Beth and Chad were both great with him and I felt at ease leaving him immediately after meeting them. I received some cute and funny pics of Coop during his stay too. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone! and I'm sure Coop would too!”
