“She treated our pup very well, and she kept us updated with pictures!”

About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.

“I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.”

About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.

“What a lovely family that cared for my Pug. First time she has stayed at their pet friendly “resort”, but she came back happy! Andrew was very accommodating to my needs for dates and Cassy’s medical needs. I would confidently refer this pet sitter and his family?”

Phyllis F.

“Felt so comfortable leaving bear with Caitlyn and her family! Will use her help again in the future!”

Rebecca B.

“Ashlea was SPECTACULAR. She will be our first choice for any future boarding. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which gave is such peace of mind while we were away, knowing that our pup was not just taken care of, but happy and having fun. Her dog Maple was sweet and friendly, shared well, and became fast friends with our Maple! HIGHLY recommend!”

Amanda P.

“Anna is incredible! ? While we were away, we didn’t stress once about our golden retriever being taken care of. She sent pictures daily and took such great care our little guy! If you want someone to spend quality time with your fur friend, Anna should be your go-to rover!”

Haley H.

“Excellent care was taken of my dog. Quiet environment. Would highly recommend and would use her again. She sent pictures as well!! ?”

Victoria V.

“Roselyn is super sweet and friendly! She sent me photos and updates frequently. Highly recommend and will hire her again in the future!”

Angelie T.

“Andrew and Maria are amazing. Our dog bonded with Maria instantly; she is a true “dog whisperer” and has a profound gift with animals. They both did an excellent job caring for our dog. You won’t find a nicer couple to look after your pet in the area. I highly recommend them!!!”

Julian P.

“Million was great! Our pups were with her for 6 days. It was the first time we left our 4 yr old with anyone but family, and our 10 yr old requires daily medication. We were nervous, but she was amazing! She was very attentive and sweet with our fur babies. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. They were happy and having fun. I would not hesitate to book with Million again!!”

Melissa W.

“Ginny did such an amazing job, my dog Apollo was treated wonderfully. He was there for about two weeks with a mixture of other dogs. I had frequent updates, and was told how he was being treated - the peace of mind was fantastic. I would easily book with Ginny again, I cannot recommend her enough.”

Ryan W.

“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”

Ruby R.

“Laura took great care of our pups while we were away! She kept us updated, sent pictures, helped one of our dogs with a bug bite, and even had them brushed and ready to come home. We’re so grateful and would definitely book again!”

Leigh S.

“Alexandra and her family are wonderful to board with! ? I have an older dog with diabetes and Cushings, and Alexandra goes above and beyond to make sure she eats and takes her meds appropriately. My husband and I also enjoy seeing the pictures Alexandra sends along with updates on how our girl is doing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recommend Alexandra!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Our pup, Bonnie, had a wonderful time with Anna! She was well taken care of and we got plenty of updates and pictures. We had some uncertainty with our travel plans and Anna had no issue being flexible - which was very much appreciated! Would definitely leave Bonnie with Anna again!”

Kelly W.

“Oaky is a fantastic dog sitter. She is flexible and communicative. She loves dogs and can read them. She cared for my dog very well. I highly recommend her.”

Sarah O.

“Gabriella was absolutely amazing! She responded fast when I asked for help with my pet. She explained everything so clearly and I knew I had nothing to worry about with Cuddles. She sente several pictures everyday!”
