“Nancy is so pleasant and kind. Watson came back happy and tired - all good signs! If we are ever in the area again, we would not hesitate to ask Nancy to watch Watson again. And what a view!!”
“Hope is excellent and our first experience on Rover, she exceeded our expectations and gave our dog a loving and caring experience. Our dog stayed with her overnight the week after Christmas. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I made a last minute request for care and Hope made the entire process simple. We were from out of town skiing at a nearby resort. Hope was generous with her time and care for our treasured Potato. We will use Hope again when we return for another ski week. I was very happy with our experience and our dog Potato had a great time playing at Hope’s house. We were lucky to find her!”
“Kevin & Inez were wonderful with our 7-year old Havanese Lola. So caring and kind - Inez even hand fed Lola for the first day when she was a nervous and didn't want to eat. They sent great photos every day so we knew she was happy and in good hands. We're so grateful to have found such a loving couple to leave our sweet girl with when we're away.”
“We are pleased with the care that Tara provided for our dog. She reassured us that she was going to be attentive and gentle while introducing her dog with ours. Texts and pictures to keep us informed also meant a lot to us. Board your dog with confidence.”

“Kaitlin I see the best dog sitter we could have asked for. She took care of our dog Zoey as if she was her own. Lots of walks and playing in the park. I don't think I've seen her have that much fun with someone other than us before. She also sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing everyday. We would give her 10 stars if we could! Definitely going to call her up the next time we need a sitter. Your dog will be in good hands with Kaitlin and her son.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.
“Breukelen provided the upmost of quality service for us and our dog, Olaf. I had reached out to her an hour before we needed to drop him off, and was super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets! Thanks again!”
About: My 3 year old golden retriever LOVES other dogs as do I. We love to to have other dogs share our home for playtime and cuddles while their pet parents are away. I travel often and know how much more enjoyable my time away is when I know my golden girl is being cared for the way I would care for her. I strive to provide the same for my furry guests! I work outside of the home during Monday through Thursday for 8 hours a day but I am home all day on the the weekends. We are happy being homebodies and playing in the fenced in backyard or going out for a hike. We even have 40 acres close by with a cabin, river and hiking trails that is super fun for the dogs!
About: Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited housesitting and drop in availability. Dog walking and exercising is my full-time job. I want to provide a concierge service that makes it easiest for you to take your time back and be well. Your wellness is key to your dog being well. My joy for this profession started when I couldn't find a trusted sitter and dog walker for my own animal. I decided to provide that service to others so they wouldn't have the same problem. I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided and contacted.
