“Erica and Ciara kept our old pup happy, busy, and comfortable. They clearly are very knowledgeable about dogs and were able to accommodate our pup’s needs well. They kept us updated with pics and were easy to communicate with. Will definitely use them again!”


“There aren’t words to describe how happy we were with Elizabeth and the care she provided our Beau… she treated him as if he was hers and I couldn’t have asked for more… The amount of pictures and updates she provided was absolutely fantastic and so so so greatly appreciated! I didn’t worry about him in the slightest while we were away, just missed him! Thank you so much Elizabeth ❤️”



“Bo had so much fun staying with Sheryl and her family! We love Sheryl’s energy and all of her kids love dogs too. They take great care of my Pitbull terrier Bo, who has a lot of energy. Definitely a family that loves animals and I feel at ease when leaving Bo with them. I would highly recommend!”

“Cali did an excellent job and was wonderful to work with! This was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel really comfortable through the whole process. While we were away, and she sent photos and updates on our puppy. She made sure he had everything he needed - daily walks and car rides. We would absolutely book with Cali again.”

About: I’ve always had animals when I was at home with parents, once I moved out I got two of my own. I always enjoy seeing their growth and achievements and my dogs would love to have a friend come play for a little bit. I am currently working full-time at an autism center. I enjoy going home after work to play with my two dogs and making sure we go out on adventures and do different types of play and fun every day. I prioritize pet care in knowing that all dogs need love and I always make time for what they need. I have two friendly dogs of my own that are also great in their crates, but also can be left out during the day. Always make sure my animals have water and that they are fed. Prioritizing, they are happy and showing signs they are happy!

About: I’ve had pets all my life and with the experience of a recent litter of puppies, I’m excited to help others in need with dog daycare. I have a full time job but looking to start a new adventure watching dogs on weekends to fulfill my dream of working with animals. I live on 80 acre farm and have a new shed with a few kennels and an outdoor kennel space for an outside play area.

“Jacque has watched our dog twice now and he's come home happy and as good as ever. She's also been very flexible with drop off and pick up times which makes things much easier. She sends pics and is great with communication! Will definitely keep coming back!”


About: I have always had a passion and love for animals ever since I was little. I have experience caring for many different animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, birds, lizards, frogs, and fish. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and even ran a summer camp there about animal health and safety for children. I have experience in administering medications and topical treatments in different animals. I also have experience in dogs with anxiety. Leaving your pet in someone's care can be nerve racking, but I understand that your pet is family. I have a 15 Ib Havapoo male (neutered) dog that will keep your furry friend company. I work throughout the week but I am home all day Saturday and Sunday to watch your furry friends. I am also available weekday mornings until around noon so I can make accomodations if needed. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around in. Please be aware that the fence is 2.6 ft tall (about waist height). The height isn't a problem for smaller dogs. My dog is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed with me at night.

“Bailey was so kind and loving. She kept us updated about our Red the entire time and she sent photos! Red was well cared for and had great company with Bailey’s own fur baby, Sussy! Can’t wait to have Bailey watch our guy again!”
