“I received daily videos and status updates which I really liked. I didn’t get a chance to see the inside of the house, which I would have liked to see. The yard was great with plenty of room for them to run around and play.”
“Dawn was wonderful! She has a lovely home, spacious back yard, separate area for meet & greet before deciding to leave our dog with her. She sent us pics and it was obvious our Beagle, Minnie, was thoroughly enjoying her time there. We will definitely be boarding with Dawn again the next time we go out of town. We had a great time away and had peace of mind knowing our “baby” was in great hands.”

“Abigail was amazing. She was able to make our anxious dog feel right at home. It was the first time we have left him and didn’t need to worry about him for one second.

“We are repeat customers with Kathy and cannot say enough good things about her. She is always quick to respond, their home is so nice, always clean , and she has a massive yard with an incredible fence. You can tell she truly cares for the dogs she is watching and I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else.”
About: I have been the primary care giver of our two dogs for years and I grew up with multiple dogs. I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current dogs since they were young puppies. I currently work part time and my fiance works from home, so someone is home 98% of the time. The only time neither of us are not home is if we go grab dinner, groceries, or run a quick errand. I am able to provide daily exercise and full care each and every day, just like you do for your beloved pet at home. I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“Lisa took wonderful care of Pepper; she took her outside for potty breaks often. Her beautiful girls bonded with Pepper immediately and made her feel at home. I will definitely book another boarding with her again! Thanks a lot, Lisa!”
“Wilma has watched our Frenchie twice. . . She is easy to work with, sends pictures and updates daily and our puppy is very happy when we pick him up. It’s great to have a trustworthy dog sitter when we need one!”
“Zoey had a great stay with Lindsay & Josh! They have a very nice home and Zoey made a new friend of their golden retriever. I feel much better leaving Zoey here than other places we used in the past. We will definitely be using them again!”
“All I can say is AWESOME!!! Fred so much loves going to see Catherine and if I could give a Million star review I would. You know you found a gem when the day you are going to drop off and all I said was were going to see Catherine and Jovie, and Fred was like already in the car! Thank you so much!!!”
“Sheila and Jeff did such an amazing job watching our Frenchie Norman for 10 days. We received lots of pictures and updates daily. Norman had a great time playing with their 2 dogs and they truly treated him as their own. It was such a blessing to find them and have piece of mind that he was in good hands so we could enjoy our vacation and not have to worry. We will be using them again for ALL our dog sitting needs. Thank you guys so much!!!!!”
