“Elli did an awesome job watching my clingy goldendoodle! He typically doesn't do well.with new people so I had a couple meet and greats with Elli prior to us leaving for 12 days. Elli stayed at our home and I would definitely recommend her for anyone else that needs someone to take care of your fur baby.”


About: Growing up, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. From the moment I was a child, I was fortunate to have a furry companion by my side. My first dog, a cheerful Labrador named Buddy, taught me the true meaning of loyalty and unconditional love. I remember how he would greet me with wagging tail every day after school, his eyes shining with excitement. As I grew older, my bond with dogs only deepened. Each dog brought its own unique personality and joy into my life. There was Max, the mischievous Beagle who loved to dig holes in the yard, and then there was Daisy, a gentle Golden Retriever who was the perfect therapy dog, always calming and comforting. These experiences shaped my understanding of patience, responsibility, and compassion. Having dogs my whole life has also meant facing some challenges—like caring for their health, training them, and saying goodbye when the time comes. Those moments were heartbreaking, but they also reinforced the preciousness of every moment spent together. Their unwavering loyalty and the pure happiness they radiate have left a lasting impact on me. Overall, my lifelong relationship with dogs has been a journey filled with love, learning, and unforgettable memories. They’ve been more than pets; they’ve been family, teachers, and best friends. I can’t imagine my life. I am currently off for the summer! Looking for someone to get exercise with and have fun! I have a pretty open schedule to fit all of your needs! Understanding the pet’s needs: Gather detailed info about the pet’s diet, routines, health issues, and preferences from the owner. Creating a safe environment: Ensure the space is free of hazards, and provide a comfortable area for eating, sleeping, and playing. Feeding and hydration: Follow the owner’s instructions for meals, treats, and fresh water. Exercise and mental stimulation: Engage the pet with appropriate play, walks, or training activities. Grooming and hygiene: Assist with brushing, bathing, or cleaning up after the pet as instructed. Medication and health monitoring: Administer medications if needed, and observe for signs of illness or discomfort, reporting any concerns to the owner. Security: Keep doors, gates, and fences secure; supervise outdoor activities.

However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.


“Jayne was awesome. My two Bishons were well taken care of while I had a wonderful dinner and di some gambling in Las Vagas. I would highly reccomend her. She obviously loves dogs and warmed up to them immediately. The only issue is that you need to charge more! $25 for 3-4 hours is not enough.”

“Sophia was an excellent dog sitter for our three dogs, including our senior dog, this weekend. She was clearly very experienced in her approach to caring for them. She followed all the rules and kept us updated with photos. The dogs had a very good time!”



“Can’t thank Sari enough. She came in on short notice, was so genuine and friendly, quick to respond and helped my dog go through her first ever heat cycle. My dog having her dog period was very unexpected and I could not be more grateful for having someone like Sari. She sent pictures and was very caring for my animals. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of pup sitting services. She should be on the front cover of Rover magazine if there was one. THANK YOU!!”

Maggie G.
“Maggie was absolutely the best sitter I have ever had. She cared for our 4 dogs and they absolutely loved her. She was very professional and genuine. She also helped with our pet goat, who went for walks every day along with the dogs. We felt confident in leaving her several days with “our kids”. They were in great hands. I will always call her first…the next trip we need to take. Excellent job!!”


Madison G.
“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”
