“Kathy was everything we could have hoped for in a dog-sitter - attentive, experienced, patient, reliable. Our pooch has physical disabilities which require additional time and effort. Kathy rose to the occasion with both professional and gentle acumen. Her work as a nurse certainly added to her skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur baby with her and to whole-heartedly recommend her to all.”


About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .

“I had such a great experience with Nechama while she watched my dog for the weekend! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also super communicative—sending regular updates, photos, and checking in just to let me know how things were going. I could tell my dog was in great hands the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you again!”


“Ashya was so kind and considerate! She loved on my pup and communicated throughly letting me know what was going on. First time having her watch my dog and I will def be a long time customer!”


“Lillian was absolutely fantastic with Ziva! I was visiting Ohio when I suddenly needed a last-minute sitter, and she stepped in without hesitation. Dropping my dog off with a stranger in a new state could’ve been stressful, but Lillian made the entire process so easy and reassuring. She let me see where Ziva would be staying, kept me updated every day with messages and photos, and clearly cared for Ziva like her own. I felt completely at peace knowing my pup was in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Anna & Christian took perfect care of Nino while I needed to leave for a funeral. I sincerely could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you both!”


“Our favorite family to trust with our dog. They do an amazing job sending pictures and updates. We always feel 100% comfortable leaving our furry friend for the week or weekend. Can’t express enough how grateful we are for Tara and Peter!”

“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”


“lydia and kieran a little ari (their pup) did such a good job with my doggy, i can really tell that they treated him like their own ♥️ I will definitely be a return client!”


“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”



“Pamela and Evan took such good care of Honey even though she's such a shy and nervous little dog. They were careful to take care of her and it looks like she even had a good time with the other dogs there. Pamela and Evan really seem like they love taking care of dogs. Honey stayed for the weekend and I got lots of pics and updates. They have a nice big fenced in backyard for the dogs to go out often too. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. It means a lot that Honey could be comfy on the furniture and bed with someone while I'm away. What sweet people! I would definitely book with them again soon!”

About: I have my own puppy and I love her more than words can explain. She is the light of my life and my favorite person I am currently working part time at as a ICU Registered Nurse, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs, pups or cats I have an apartment that’s close to a walking trail and a dog park. Daily walks will be extra fun and I also have a dog they can play with
