“This was the first time I’ve left my older rescued lab for more than one night. Just seemed unnecessary. But we had to be out of town and I’m so happy I found Jeanne to take care of Buddy. She kept me up to date on how things were going and Buddy had a great time with the other boarders. Will definitely use Jeanne again!”


“I was so nervous for Odie’s first boarding experience with people he didn’t know. That was quickly when I saw how much fun Odie was having and hearing how great he was doing. Francis is a great communicator and the whole family treated him like their own. I will definitely be reaching out for any future needs! I know Odie would love to go back lol”


“My puppy Fen had a great time with Emily and her family! Their space is really nice and especially wonderful with the fenced-in backyard. Emily and her husband Andy were warm and welcoming and had two other dogs who were very friendly and provided great socialization for my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving Fen with them for the two nights that I was away. They took such good care of him! I highly recommend and will be booking again when in the area!”


“Our pup had a wonderful time with Janice, and with great communication throughout the stay we had peace of mind she was well cared for. Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next booking!”


“Highly recommend Ashley! This is the first time I have had my dog stay overnight. I received pictures and updates on how it was going and she put my mind and worries at ease. I will definitely be using Ashley again.”


“I am so relieved and grateful to have found Julie Anne! I will absolutely be using her again when we need someone to take care of our senior pug, Darla. She treated Darla like family and sent me multiple photos throughout the day. Knowing Darla was being loved and snuggled the entire time we were away was incredibly comforting. She even let Darla sleep in her bed and snuggle her daughter. I doubt Darla even missed us! She even gave us a framed photo of Darla she had taken, and a small gift at pick up. I highly recommend Julie Ann if you need someone to care for your dog. She is incredible!”


“Great people and am amazing, spacious, SAFE place for my dog. Excellent communication. I was happy to share my dog with these exemplary, canine-loving people. Amazing experience.”



“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”


“Alina was wonderful with Schooner. She made sure he was happy and comfortable at all times. He made fast friends with her dog Laska, who snuggled close to him during a thunderstorm to help calm him. In every photo she sent, Schooner looked happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I'm back in the area. thank you!”



“Our dog Moxie had a great time on his weekend away at Briana’s! She made us feel very comfortable, making sure Moxie met her dogs in a neutral location first. She kept him safe and active all weekend, and sent us pictures and videos throughout. We are so happy with our choice and would definitely look to work with her again!”


About: I've been trusted to take care of multiple types of dogs since ~age 10! I am an animal lover at heart, and I've had many different animals throughout my lifetime, including an African Pgymy Hedgehog. I pride myself on providing top-notch care in all aspects, ensuring your dog is comfortable in my home, feels safe, is well taken care of, and having fun! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to devote toward caring for your fur baby! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, medications and meals as scheduled, as well as love and treats throughout the day! Can also provide anything else your pup may require. I have a fenced in grass back yard with a pool, as well as an unfenced grass front yard area. I have a dog of my own, a 2.5 yr old cattle dog/lab mix named Zelda who is extremely friendly, intelligent, and high energy. Although she does have the ability to be chill as well! At our home, we typically enjoy some exercise in the morning such as a walk in the woods, followed by mid-morning nap time, then later in the afternoon, play time with jolly balls or tennis balls, or swimming in our fenced in backyard pool area/ playing in the hose if your pup so desires. Evening usually consist of another walk along with treats and relaxing on the couch. I also have a large crate that can be set up as needed.

“Kate was amazing with Max. Her space was clean and welcoming. I think Max had more fun with Kate than he does at home! Will definitely use Kate’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”


“Katie is so wonderful with my two trouble makers, she has a great sense of humor and outlook. She sends pictures of their sweetness and oh no now what did they do now. I definitely recommend her. Thanks, Bernie”
