They provided great care and supervision with timely updates of the day with pictures. They have really nice backyard so it was perfect with our high energy dog. They also keep additional dogs for pet care so it was perfect for our dog to enjoy meeting some new friends to hang out and play. We would surely return back for future needs.”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who truly treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities and currently focus on pups 40 lbs and under to keep things calm and comfortable in my cozy home. My own dog is about 65 lbs, gentle, and great with dogs of all sizes! I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can provide focused attention, a peaceful environment, and personalized care for your pup’s unique needs. I work from home full time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. While I don’t include walks by default, I’m happy to offer them if requested. I do require that all dogs are crate trained, just in case I need to run a quick errand—your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor potty breaks and play. I only accept crate-trained dogs under 40 lbs and host just one family’s pets at a time. This helps ensure a low-stress, high-attention environment tailored to your dog’s comfort. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I have been around dogs all my life. Currently mom of Benji he is 4 years old lhasa apso/shitzu. He is the light of my life and he loves being around smaller dogs like himself. Im a dog mom so I know how important is to have someone we can trust, count on when we need to leave them for a few days. I will treat them like my own. I work full time but most of my weekends are off. Just reach out and we will figure something out. I am a dog mom so I know and understand the importance of having someone taking care of our fur babies when we are gone. We have a fully fenced yard and closed lanai. Our home is pet friendly and secure. Benji has plenty of toys to share and extra bed.

“Onyx enjoyed staying with Steve and had lots of fun. He warmed up quickly to Steve which is unusual so it's a testament to Steve's natural abilities with cats. Steve provided regular updates and pictures to reassure me things were going well. I highly recommend Steve as your next pet sitter!”


“She asked all the right questions and updated me with my pups activities. My dogs became really good friends with two of her dogs. In short they didn't miss me and loved how she made them feel at home.”



“Macy’s visit went seamlessly with added play with friends. Daily updates helped while I was away. Overall I would use this service in the future.”


“Cassandra was great! I appreciated doing a meet and greet first to make sure everything would go smoothly and it did! She sent photos and updates through the day. Would definitely book again.”
