“We had to board our German Shepherd for ten days almost immediately after moving into the area and are so grateful to have found Patty. She took her in and made the entire process super easy for us and comfortable for Candy. Thank you!!”
“Jesus did a great job with Wubbzy! 10/10 recommend booking with him! He was very kind, responsive, and flexible. He kept me updated and took very great care of her! Thank you so much!”
“I highly recommend Giannina's house for dog boarding! My furry friend had an amazing stay and received top-notch care. Giannina's warm and welcoming home provided a comfortable and safe environment for my dog to relax and have fun. Communication was seamless, and I appreciated the regular updates. Thank you, Giannina, for giving my dog a home away from home!”
“Toya was awesome! She sent me pictures and updates and made me feel so comfortable. Stone loves being with her. I’m definitely trusting her with my fur-baby whenever I leave again.”
“Jordan took such care to make sure Patches felt comfortable and safe. She took her time to integrate her into the household, and then sent me pictures every night with her and Jordan's pup as well as her kid. Patches will skip meals when her routine is disrupted, and Jordan went out of her way to correspond with me and encourage her to eat. Very caring, organized, and accommodating. Highly recommend.”
“It was our puppy’s first time away overnight and we are so happy with the result. He had a wonderful time and is totally adjusted and comfortable with mark, Jackob and Nancy. They did a fantastic job of being flexible on pick up and drop off times and kept us updated the entire time.”
“This was our first time using Rover for one of our dogs so I was a little nervous. Janis sent pictures of our dog every day while we were gone. I felt very comfortable leaving Remy in her care. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to someone and will be reaching out again if we ever need a sitter. Thanks, Janis!”
“What a great experience! Wrigley felt right at home, he loved playing with Dan and Joys kids. I received daily updates and pictures. I would give Wrigley’s stay and the friendly atmosphere a 5++. Thank you for treating Wrigley as family. Cathy Gonzalez”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.
“Berniece is the best! She really takes care of my fur baby Roxy. I can't even mention Berniece and Cheddar's names without my Roxy going wild! She loves them with all of her heart; that's for sure. I don't know what I would do without these two in her life. Thank you so much for the great care of Roxy. :-)”
“We were very pleased with the way Shirley took care of our dog Luna. Luna was a little nervous being with a new family but Shirley made her feel very comfortable and had patience with her. We were kept up to date daily on our dog's activities and she was very kind to our dog and Luna had a great and safe time there. Her home was very clean and safe. I would not hesitate to contact Shirley again to care for our dog. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for caring for our dog Shirley.”
“Mary Anne was very accommodating of my very energetic dog's personality, which I really appreciate, since some people would not know how to interact with her. Her house is very dog-friendly environment. I will certainly plan future stays with her.”
“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Our spirited Aussie had an amazing time with Lindsay, Michael, and Lucy! She was well cared for and we received lots of pictures and updates. It was an amazing experience for our pup!”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“We absolutely love Willow! She takes such amazing care of my little crumb, and I am so lucky to have her in our lives. I can go away, resting, assure that my little Crumb cake is going to be very well cared for!”
