“Megan was great with Morty!! They seemed to have a good time and Morty warmed up to her and was so calm and sweet when we picked him up. Megan was communicative and provided many photos for us. It made us feel good knowing Morty was doing well while we were away. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog son! We will be rebooking for sure!!”
“Christina was excellent from start to finish! I really appreciated the care she took during the meet and greet she beat me to suggesting; our awkward teenage pup has not been around many dogs and I was concerned about how he’d do boarding with other dogs. Christina clearly knows how to manage dogs to keep them comfortable and everyone safe; she introduced her dogs thoughtfully and had a great set up for separation as needed. She was punctual for drop off and pick up, sent pictures, kept him clean (no easy feat!), and communication was excellent. When we were planning this trip I was concerned our poor Ramen would be stressed and miserable but after finding Christina and seeing how much fun he was having, I was more concerned he wouldn’t want to come home!”
“I loved getting pictures of my dogs during my vacation. It set my mind at ease knowing they are ok. The line of communication was very good. I recommend Alex to anyone.”
About: There has always been a dog, or two, in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Your furry friend will be treated like family here! We go for walks a couple times a day, have shared or individual space, and have a dog door to a fenced in area throughout the day. Working from home, I am able to take the pups on walks at lunch and before and/or after work. They will have constant company throughout the day! I have a large yard to leash walk dogs, a finished/heated garage with a dog door to a fenced in area, so pups can go outside as they'd like between walks. I treat all animals as if they are my own; they are welcome on some furniture, have a warm and comfortable space, can meet dietary/medical needs, and will have multiple walks throughout the day.
“Gene and Gale were so great! Treated my little guy as if he was their own, so accommodating to his needs and gave him all the love! Highly recommend!”
“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”
“Maddie was great housesitting my dog! Baxter likes her alot and I am very glad. I was so relieved that everything was so neat and clean when I got home too.”
“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”
About: I had pets all through childhood and now I've got 4 dogs and 8 indoor cats plus some chickens and ducks. We also have 2 children who adore animals. My skills with pets is heating what they are saying and getting on their level, or giving them space o If needed. I am on short term disability due to medical issues of the autoimmune variety so I am home all the time! I can let dogs out when needed and play with cats. I have lots of availability. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs (6 foot high wire fence), crates, kennels, rooms that can be shut off from the house, etc. Our animals can also be sectioned off if necessary for the stay.

“Katie was fantastic! My dog and her dog got along really well. It's a good deal, and she gave my dog a bag and homemade biscuits when we left.”
