“Thanks for being so flexible with our short notice daycare needs!! We appreciate the quick responses and all the communication. Betty and Gibson loved spending time with you!”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”

“Sydney & Brock were fantastic with our puppy Tula. Great communication with updates & photos. We needed a last minute sitter for our puppy; Sydney & Brock were very kind to host Tula.”

About: **Only accepting small 🐶 at this time ** We are a pet loving family who understand the importance of quality care for our pets when we are away from them. We grew up with house pets & farm animals and have had pets of my own since we were kids. Friends and family can attest to our love and care of animals which we have passed on to our kiddos who also enjoy being around them just as much as we do. We work from home and have two pups, Emilio Estevez and Bruce Willis. We enjoy having pups around our home and love watching them run around in the yard. 🐶 When staying with us, your pup(s) will interact with every member of our family; as well as a pup or two from other households. They will get lots of cuddles, playtime and downtime as needed. During the day, pup(s) are free to roam around and lounge anywhere downstairs, including the furniture. They also have unrestricted access to our large fenced backyard. At night time, pup(s) will sleep downstairs with our pups in their own crate or playpen. We have plenty of toys and always happy to play fetch or take them on walks around the neighborhood.
“Jessica really helped me out when I moved to the area with my separation anxiety dog Kelly. Kelly was a bit nervous during our first visit, since she was so stressed by our recent move, Jessica was very patient with Kelly. And that evening when I went to pick her up, I could see she was almost ready to move in to her house! Running around happily. And for all the following visits, she went right into her home for daycare, without any hesitation. I think that tells me Jessica really treats Kelly well! :)”

About: We both have lots of experience caring for dogs of all personalities and ages from both a senior dog with dementia to energetic puppies! We have flexible schedules and are comfortable accomodating medication routines, structured exercise and mental stimulation! We have a flexible schedule and are home most days, so we are able to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day! We can provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and engagement. We have a very friendly 1.5-year-old double doodle who loves other dogs, but we can easily separate pets and provide a safe, comfortable space if they need. In a client’s home, we follow routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
“Really nice person who did an exceptional job watching our 5 month old doodle. She had a coupon of other dogs any all played together. She sent pictures throughout the stay. A very good experience for our puppy. Will certainly use her again.”

“I wanted to write another review because Melani continues to go above and beyond in every possible way. After many more stays, I can honestly say she is one of those rare people you feel incredibly lucky to find. My dog does not just enjoy being with her, he genuinely lights up when he sees her, which says everything. Melani is not only dependable and communicative, but she is also so thoughtful and intuitive when it comes to my dog’s needs. She pays attention to the little things, keeps me consistently updated, and always makes sure he feels loved, safe, and comfortable. It gives me total peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands. She has become such an important part of our routine, and I truly cannot imagine trusting anyone else the way I trust her. If you are considering Melani, do not hesitate, she is everything you could hope for and more. The full package!”

About: I have been responsible for dogs ever since I was 10. I have raised four different dogs from when they were puppies to elderly. I can speak their language and an act as an expert dog body language interpreter. I am gentle enough to handle small dogs and strong enough to handle 100+ lbs ones, as well. I recently took early retirement and have flexibility to take care of your pets, whenever needed, on walks, play dates, or overnight stays at my house with my dog. I love dogs! I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs and have had two as an adult. I'm a believer in routine and consistency. My own dog, who is 8 years old, is our fur baby and gets walked 3 times a day, rain or shine. I love being outside getting exercise with him, and keeping him socialized with other dogs and people. We spend lots of time playing and snuggling.

“I had never left my little dog anywhere before so I was a little nervous. Mitzi went right into the house. Vanessa's updates were really helpful. My Cavpoo came home happy and tired.”

“Angela did amazing with my pup, lots of play time and loving. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how he was doing. Definitely would recommend and would schedule again! She also sent me home with some treats and a little thanksgiving bandana for my pup! Thank you!”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and all breeds. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pet or pets while you are away.
