“If you want your fur baby taken care of, she’s your girl. We were jealous how much our Jefe loved it there with Courtney 🥰🥰 She treated him as if he was her own. We will definitely be rebooking”
“Steffany and Juan took great care of our dog for six nights while we were away. She enjoyed their company and the other pups that were with her. Definitely would work with them again before using a kennel.”
“This is the first time i boarded my pup, and Allison gave me a complete peace of mind. Allison and Mike really took Benny with love and enjoyed him as much as i do. Benny had a blast with his friends at her beautiful house and I couldn’t have had it better. I would love to come back again, I would’ve been a regular if she lived in my area!”

“Jack and his family were so great to our pup. We were so nervous to leave him with a sitter so soon, but Jack eased our concerns often. He was very engaged and sent lots of photos/updates. We are so thankful he was able to help us and will happily bring our pup back in the future.”

“We travel frequently and so happy to have found Amy and Patrick to add to our list of dogsitters! They are both so kind and welcomed our dog into their home! They provided pictures and updates frequently! Our dog always looked happy playing or walking! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Angel watched our Pomeranian for over a week during our anniversary trip. She sent daily pictures and updates about Cali and took great care of her, a very trustworthy and compassionate caregiver. We also missed our original flight home and Angel was happy to keep for her an additional few hours. When we came to pick our baby up she was not as excited to leave as she had been with a previous caregiver so I know she really enjoyed her stay. Angel had brushed and wiped her clean before we picked her up which was an unexpected nice touch. She smelled and looked great! We will absolutely book with her again, highly recommend!!!!!”
“She was super understanding my flight got delayed and I had to leave my dog for an extra and she didn’t even hesitate to help accommodate me. I will never choose another dog sitter !”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and it’s more than just a job—it’s my passion. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I treat every pup like they’re my own, providing not only safety and structure, but also love, attention, and plenty of playtime. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach and deep understanding of dog behavior—I know when it’s time to be silly and when it’s time to soothe. Whether it’s daycare or an extended stay, your dog will be in caring, capable hands with me. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs. I’m in the office a couple days a week, but I can adjust those days as needed to ensure your pup gets the care and attention they deserve. In my home, your dog will be treated like one of the family. I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, an energetic 2 year old and a gentle 8 year old, who love to play and welcome new friends. We have a spacious, fenced in yard perfect for outdoor fun. I follow your dog’s feeding schedule and provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and calm evenings to ensure they feel happy, safe, and ready for a good night’s sleep.
