“Sarah and her family were great to my pup Smokey Monroe. Smokey got plenty of walks and frisbee time and also had other pups to play with. Sarah sent photos and was very communicative. Overall Smokey had a great time and was well care for while I was away.”

“Fantastic experience! Tasha and her family went above and beyond! They treated our dog like family. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Could not be more pleased! Would absolutely recommend Tasha! We will use her again!!!”

“Gabrielle (and her family) were nothing short of amazing with our Coco. Fantastic communication and lots of pics to see how happy our little girl was in her care. We are looking forward to lots of visits in the future.”

“Diane took great care of our two pups and made them feel right at home. She was great at communicating and sharing photos of our boys during our trip. She was very flexible as well with drop off and pick up times. We definitely will book her again!”

“I had the pleasure of using Raquel's dog boarding service, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From the moment we dropped off our dog, we felt at ease knowing she would be in such caring and capable hands. Raquel was incredibly attentive, sending us updates and photos throughout our dog's stay, which really put our minds at rest. Her home is welcoming, with plenty of space for dogs to play and relax, including a large fenced-in yard that’s absolutely beautiful. Our dog had so much fun running and playing with Raquel's two I'm two boys. She came home happy, healthy, and well-cared-for, and we could tell she had a great time. I highly recommend Raquel's dog boarding service to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their pets!”

“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”

“If I could give Danielle and her husband 10 stars I would. Our dog hurt his leg two days before we were to leave on a eight day cruise and she took great care of him, giving him his medicine and making sure he didn’t jump, go down/up stairs or play too hard which anyone knows is hard in itself with a dog. She offered to take him to the vet if he got worse and kept us updated every day. They are amazing honestly and we definitely will be using her going forward. If you are looking for a groomer she has her own grooming business as well called Hugz-N-Kisses Pet Spa definitely check her out!!!”

About: We offer a private alternative to traditional boarding. Dogs stay on acreage with plenty of outdoor time, but also a structured, safe environment. Each dog gets individual attention, consistency, and a calm experience—especially for dogs that don’t do well in busy kennels. Pet care is a central part of our daily routine. I work from home and spend much of my time on the property, so your dog is rarely left alone and gets consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can provide structured outdoor time in a safe, controlled environment, along with individual care based on each dog’s needs. I also intentionally limit the number of dogs at one time, which allows me to maintain a calm, low-stress setting and give each dog the level of attention they deserve Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. We keep a clean, calm, and comfortable home environment, and your dog will be included in that same space and routine. I follow each dog’s needs closely—whether that’s a structured routine for feeding, exercise, or any special care—so their experience feels familiar and low-stress while you’re away.
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”

“Mya took super amazing care of Aries while I was away fr 5 days. Her communication was prompt and provided tons of pictures and daily updates as i requested. Her home was very clean and Aries came home smelling great after her grooming service as well!! Aries looked loved, cared for, and super tired from all the play time! I will definitely use her again for boarding”

“Christina took such good care of our Biscuit!! We were nervous leaving our pup for the first time but Christina put us at ease. The pictures and updates meant so much. Thanks so much for going the extra mile for our baby!!!”


About: I’m a dependable, caring dog sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs in a home setting—including my own friendly Golden Retriever. I understand daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a mom of four, I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and attentive to details. I treat every pet like part of the family and am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

I primarily offer in-home boarding, so your dog will be part of our daily routine and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m available most weekdays and weekends with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, clean, and calm home environment. I have a friendly Golden Retriever who is used to being around other dogs, and I always do slow, careful introductions to ensure everyone is comfortable. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs in my care are treated like family, and I provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Jenn and her son were so great with my dog, Mugsy. Mugsy is a little nervous around kids, but Jenn’s son was the perfect demeanor to put her at ease. They took Mugsy on plenty of walks and showed her lots of love. I would definitely hire Jenn again in the future for boarding!”

About: I currently have a 10 year old female yellow lab, 10 year old male outdoor cat, and a 3 year old guinea pig! I do weekly stays for a family in landfall with three doodles, and have lots of experience with all ages, breeds, and needs! I am experienced and comfortable with giving medications to all animals such as pills, oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, etc! I’m currently finishing up at CFCC this year, and own two online businesses. I am very reliable and flexible! I babysit only on Mondays, which leaves my week free. I will follow guidelines, routines, and schedules to ensure your pet feels at home and comfortable with me. I love sending check in photos so you can know what your fur baby is up to!
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, birds, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. We also have a friendly bull terrier who will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
