About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.

About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

“We are so lucky to have found Kiran! He is very responsive, flexible, and kind. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. Mabel loved her time with him and we appreciated the pic/video updates. Mabel is already excited for her next visit!”

“Leanna is fabulous! Accommodated a last-minute change to the schedule and took wonderful care of our furry girl. She so clearly cares about our four-legged friends and I will not hesitate to use her again.”

Kathleen S.

“It was my first time dropping of my 14 week old Samoyed and I was so nervous! Tom is wonderful and very accommodating with the drop off/pick up times. More importantly, Enzo was a very happy camper and enjoyed his stay with Tom. Will definitely ask Tom to watch Enzo again!”

About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including high-energy and more relaxed breeds. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs and adjusting care based on their needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them calm and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just companionship, I make sure they’re well cared for and not left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can feel at ease. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I make sure dogs are always supervised, kept on a leash during walks (unless in a secure fenced area), and never put in unsafe situations. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: My husband and I are experienced pet owners, particularly with senior dogs. Recently took over care for a senior dog and gave him a great final year of life. We also have experience with cats, and senior cats. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of time to play with your pets, take them on walks, and give them the attention they deserve. My schedule is fairly flexible, so just let me know what you’re looking for We have a big, totally fenced in yard. We don’t currently have any pets, so you don’t have to worry if your dog doesn’t play well with other animals. We do have small baby, so keep that in mind!

“My dog Luna has been to daycare with Cesar several times now and she looks forward to going and comes back happy and tired! She loves their dog Jasper and when not playing with him likes to sun herself in his big backyard. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and sending me pictures and updates throughout the day!”

Sharon K.

“Our Australian Shepard had a wonderful time with Yulia and Tomas for doggie day care! We could not have been more happy with their kindness, communication, care, and activity level for our dog. They were incredibly prepared and it was clear they offer professional-level services in caring for pets. They knew exactly how to make our dog feel at home and comfortable all day, and in transitioning our dog back to us at the end of the visit. We are so grateful to them for their excellent care!”
