“We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!”

“Once again, I’m so impressed by Travis & Danielle care for my fur baby. The communication was AWESOME through the whole stay! I would forever pick Travis and Danielle”

“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”


“I loved boarding our puppy with Eric. He met Apollo before we booked just to make sure it was a right, which I really appreciated. Plus I got to meet him before I handed my puppy over. It was Apollo’s first time away from me and I felt like I could be stress free on a vacation knowing he was taken care of. And when we picked him up he seemed happy. Boarding with Eric was such a peace of mind!”

“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”

“She took amazing personal care of my dog, and highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet well taken care of while they're away. She also gave daily updates and pics of my dog while under her care which was greatly appreciated.”

“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”

“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”

About: My family has always had a dog around since I was a little girl! So I’m comfortable giving all dogs, whether the breed, the best care! I’m a cat and dog lover who would love to help you with all your cat and dog needs whether it’s daycare, walking or boarding! I’m mostly free in evenings and then Especially on weekends! I have 2 dogs who love to play with other dogs so your fur baby will have company! Also have almost 2 mo old and a 2 year old who loves all dogs so no dog will go without any pets or lovings!
“Pam watched our Standard Poodle for 8 nights. We had an absolutely amazing experience! She was outstanding from start to finish, her communication was consistent and thoughtful, with daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Sansa was clearly so well cared for, she got daily walks, tons of attention, and was honestly spoiled in the best way. It was obvious she was treated like part of the family. Her home is beautiful and very well maintained, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. That kind of genuine care is hard to find. We will 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pet.”

“Shelby took a very good care of my dog while I was out of town for business. She provided updates along with pics and videos without me asking, and that helped me not to worry about my dog. My dog had a good stay!”

“I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!”

“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”

About: I have taken in aggressive and puppymill dogs. I have had at least 100 dogs through my home either as rescue, transport or sitting. My family loves all dogs! I work 6 hours per day temporarily but my husband comes home at lunch. If dogs require walks we can do that. We separate everyone at meal times to keep safe. I have fenced in large yard. We have some rescue dogs that are super friendly and used to new dogs visiting. Pets can be on sofa, bed and anywhere you would like them.

“We are so happy the way Char cared for our 8 months old Cavapoo! She has some social anxiety but with Char experience, Naiyomi was at the dog park, doggy pool party and relaxing in her home with her fur babies in a couple of days! This made our heart smile:) She kept us updated with endless pics and texts which kept our mind at ease. Char will be the first we will book if we have to leave our fur baby behind again!”
