“Ruben was nothing short of awesome! I was running late to drop my dog and extraordinarily late to pick her up and he was accommodating. Ruben has great communication and shared pics throughout the day. I highly recommend and will definitely use his services again.”
“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”

About: I worked in the doggy daycare industry for over 5 years and have plenty of experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Shortly after leaving the industry to pursue another career path, I ended up really missing my camp days so i started dog sitting for family, friends and any/all of their referrals. It’s been about 5-6 years of helping family/friends with their pups and now that I have more freedom working from home, I’d love to share my time with your furry friends/family. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. Working from home gives me more availability for any of your last minute needs. I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for playing fetch/catch to burn off a little extra energy. If your pup isn’t as active, they can use the space for a nice sunbathing session.
“Jenny was great! My dog has anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and took care of her with walks and was careful to avoid the other neighborhood dogs as requested. Will definitely use Jenny’s services in the future.”
“Venus and Keaton were AMAZING! Monte is a 5 month old puppy, so he has a lot of energy, but they took great care of him for the week. Every time we walked up to the door, Monte's tail would not stop wagging. They really made Monte feel at home!”
About: I have owned 3 dogs (Shih Tzu's) but currently do not own any pets. I like to send the owner pictures so that I keep them updated on the doggie's fun day. I am very loving towards animals and enjoy caring for them. I love taking walks and would be happy to bring yours with :) I am currently available every day of the week except Tuesday's. However, sometimes it may change, but very rare. I can always change my available days around if need be with property notice. I have a nice size yard for playing and a clean home. Most part of my yard is fenced in. If doggie is trained, I walk him/her outside
“Dez and wife were great. I felt really good after the initial meet n greet. When I went to drop of Frankie, I felt at ease when Frankie immediately started to pull towards Dezmond's house and happily went with him when I handed him the leash. Frankie has severe separation anxiety, but when we got to Dezmond's Frankie could not care less that I was leaving! It felt good to see how happy and comfortable Frankie was to be there. Dezmond was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. Frankie had a great time during his stay, loved playing with Dezmond's dogs and didn't want to leave! He left a tired, happy boy. I would recommend Dezmond and his wife again and also look forward to having Frankie have future visits with them too!”
About: Working in the animal welfare field for a few years now has allowed me to obtain lots of skills other sitters may not obtain. Need to give your pet medication as you are gone? No problem for this experienced veterinary technician! Have an additional set of ease, for you know that your pet is with a sitter that has been trained in first aid, CPR, and even anesthesia! I know what to look for when your pet is staying outside of home. With time I have for my online college courses, I can have the best of both worlds. Sitting your pet while also furthering my education simultaneously. Your pet will truly enjoy my two sided fully fenced backyard! Lots of room to run around and chase a ball or chill on the patio if wanted. Fortunately, pets are allowed on my couch as well, allowing them to snuggle and have comfortablity in my home.

If I could give Dezmond double stars, I would. From the booking to the meet and greet to the consistent communication throughout the weekend I felt so comfortable and at ease leaving my pup with Dezmond for the weekend. Duke had a great time with his dogs, I received some adorable photos throughout the weekends, updates on his food/drinking/bathroom habits (my dog is in the sensitive tummy club), and he was very prompt with timing. I will definitely be booking with Dezmond again and recommend anybody looking for a hands on and active caretaker for their pet to book with Dezmond ASAP!
