“Mowgli always has a great time staying with Olivia, Sebastien, and Zuko! They take great care of her and keep us updated throughout the stay, we would recommend to anyone looking for reliable dog care!”

“Linda & Zach are the best! I needed a last-minute booking while traveling in from out of town, and they made super easy. I appreciated their very fast, friendly communication throughout Chunk’s stay. They were very flexible with our schedule, and most importantly took great care of our senior pup, Chunk. They introduced their sweet lab Sophie who was the perfect companion for Chunk, and sent pictures during his stay so we knew he was right at home. Everything was packed and ready to go when we came for pickup. Couldn’t ask for better!”

“My two pups had a great vacation with May and came home happy and healthy! May was very responsive and sent photos of them while we were on our trip. We’ll definitely book with May and her family again!”

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”

“Lori did amazing with my dog Theo! She has great energy and Theo, who can be shy with strangers, immediately felt comfortable around her. Lori is friendly and communicative and has a dog-friendly house with yard that Theo loved. It’s great to know I can leave Theo with her and he’ll get walks and cuddles and be taken care of”

“We are so lucky to have found Kimberly to watch our pup! She took such great care of her and gave us peace of mind with updates and photos every day. Her home is safe, comfortable, and instantly fun thanks to her two sweet dogs. Not only does our pup love her, but we do too and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

“Kristina and Sean were great with our energetic pup, Barley! Barley was able to fit right into their daily walks and runs since they were already an active family. They also provided daily updates and pictures of their activities and were very responsive throughout the boarding.”

About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!

“Cynthia was great with Dolce. She sent pictures every day, kept me posted and ensured Dolce had plenty of play, exercise and love. I highly recommend her!!”

“We’ve relied on Kris as our trusted dog sitter for a few stays now, and she never disappoints. She and her family treat Oakley like one of their own, and he’s always so excited to visit and play fetch with them. We have total peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth hosted our doggy over a weekend while we went out of town. Booking with her was super easy as she was super responsive! She took great care of Lynx and we look forward to working with Elizabeth again.”

“Shannon was an outstanding sitter for Axxl, my Huskey/Shepherd mix. Her professionalism along with frequent text updates, photos and a fun video confirmed just how happy and comfortable he was with her. I have used several sitters over the past few years when out of town for work however Shannon is absolutely the best I have had the pleasure of meeting.”

About: Complimentary grooming services is provided for boarding and house sitting services! We offer this service to ensure that we can provide a comfortable stay for your pet. This allows for your pet to sleep on our bed or lay on furniture if she/he desires. Please let me know if you would like to add complimentary shampoo and blow dry during your pets service. I have near 10 years of experience caring for my own pets and of friends and family. I focus on safety, comfort, and positive reinforcement, and I naturally incorporate dog training skills to help pets feel calm, confident, and well cared for. I work from home three days a week (Wednesday–Friday), which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care on those days. It’s also a great excuse for me to get outside and enjoy some sunshine during the workday. I care for pets in my home and/or my client’s home as if they were my own. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency by maintaining a calm, secure environment and following each pet’s routine and care instructions closely. I’m attentive to individual needs, including pets who may be anxious or require extra patience, and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease.

“Cherie took the best care of our dog during her 8 day stay. Cherie is very attentive and in tune to everything our dog needed. She provided updates throughout the week which we greatly appreciated. We could tell our dog was very comfortable and happy the entire time. We are so happy to have found Cherie. This is the first time we have had to use a dog sitter and the experience couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be using Cherie again in our future!”
