“I feel like my dog was safe and well taken care of while boarding here, things seem to be run very efficiently and our dog came back happy and healthy I would highly recommend boarding with them the next time I need a dog sitter I'll be using that”
“Michelle and Luke were amazing taking care of our Zeke. He got plenty of love and exercise while we were away. He was even a little sad about leaving. Michelle made sure we got updates and sent pictures to ease us as this was the first time leaving him that wasn’t family. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. They won’t disappoint. Thank you Michelle and Luke!”
“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

“Bradley did such a great job of taking care of my kitty for the weekend! She makes sure she has all the information she needs beforehand.

About: I have had dogs my entire life! Dogs in my care will enjoy my large fenced in yard with my 2 fur babies who love making new friends. Your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time involving fetch, frisbees and sniffing. My fur babies are high energy, however they get plenty of daily exercise that requires lots of napping and snuggles. This makes my home compatible with high energy dogs or senior dogs. You can expect your pet to receive a great deal of attention in a safe environment specific to their needs. Pets visiting should be friendly and crate trained in case of emergencies. All dogs are required to be up to date on all vaccines and must be actively receiving flea/tick MEDICATION prevention. Unfortunately, Pets with signs of fleas will not be welcomed. I am experienced in caring for all ages from puppies to seniors dogs. I am a full time RN but have free time mostly on weekends. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home to care for your pet with the exception of an hour when my husband is leaving for work and I am coming. I currently work full time as a nurse. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home with the exception of an hour or 2 in the morning when I’m coming home and he’s leaving for work. I have a large fenced in yard that is 75% privacy fence. I do require a meet and greet to ensure the safety of your/my pets. Pet must be up to date on all vaccines. Pets are required to be actively on flea/tick medication. Any sign of fleas will result in pet being declined for services.
“Debbie and Adam were so very welcoming and took great care of our Piper! We loved the daily pictures they sent and how easily they picked up on her unique personality:)”
“Kathleen is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs:) We usually travel with our dogs, but because we were going to Italy we used Kathleen. She sent us texts, pictures and video daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs. They had an amazing vacation themselves! She took them for daily walks, cuddled and played with them just as we would have. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our babies! I highly recommend her for all of your fur babies! We will definitely be calling Kathleen for our next trip:)”
“We are so excited to have found a great local sitter for Charlie. Maria is responsive and professional. We did a meet & greet to make sure he got along with her sweet pups and all went well. He had a successful first stay and we are already planning future trips. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”
“Val is incredible and I’m so grateful my pup Orville gets the greatest care while I’m away. He’s loved on and pampered and I don’t have to worry one bit. Thank you Val for everything!”
“My dog augie loves going to Ricks! I am a nurse and I work odd hours, and he is always so accommodating with my pick up and drop offs!! I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Megan and family were great with Rue. They kindly opened up their home for Christmas. Rue was a good boy, loved their dog and kids but he especially loved Megan. I will definitely be reaching out to Megan next time. Thank you so much for taking care of my good boy. I appreciated the communication and pictures you shared.”
“My experience with Victoria was great! It was my 1st time using her service. She was very responsive when booking and scheduled a meet and greet to meet me and my dog and to show where he’d be staying. She was very flexible on drop off and pickup and sent updates and photos while he stayed with her. My dog is a picky eater and she hand fed him. I’ll definitely use her for my next trip!”
“Sarah was able to accommodate us at the last-minute and took great care of our Crusoe. Crusoe has separation anxiety but Sarah's friendly and caring nature helped to calm Crusoe upon drop-off. She took such great care of our little guy and I can tell that he enjoyed his time with Sarah and her family.”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. My love for animals has continued to be a staple in my life as I’ve gotten older. I have a golden retriever of my own who is the love of my life (other than my daughters and husband) lol! I have taken care of kittens/puppies to elder cats and dogs. Animals aren’t just animals in our house, they are family! I am currently working full time, but am looking to make side money to provide for my family. My hopes is that I maybe might be able to make this my full time job and stay home to raise my daughters! I work 2 minutes from home so I will never be far! I have a fenced in yard and a male golden retriever that loves to play and gets along with everyone! I can easily provide a crate if needed.. we also have baby gates blocking off each room if that would be preferred over a crate.
“Monica took great care of my dog, Lusia, while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!”

Meghan & Michael J.
“I cannot thank Meghan and Michael enough for the incredible care they gave my 5-pound Yorkie, Enzo, after his surgery for an intestinal blockage (he has a knack for eating everything he isn’t supposed to!). Our family had a long-planned vacation, and I was nervous about leaving him so soon after the procedure. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Meghan and Michael were gentle, attentive, and extremely patient, ensuring Enzo was comfortable, medicated on schedule, and never short on love. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which brought me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Enzo wasn’t just being “watched” — he was truly cared for. I came home to a happy, calm pup who was clearly well-loved in my absence. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Meghan and Michael to anyone, especially if your pet needs extra attention or has special medical needs. They went above and beyond, and I am forever grateful.”
