About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over four years, including senior dogs and energetic puppies. I’m trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and provide lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and reading dog body language to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently don’t work, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding all day every day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays with ease. I have a secure one acre fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Your pup will be safe, socialized, and cared for in a loving home environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and always follow the owner’s instructions for safety and comfort.

“Amber and her family took such wonderful care of our new rescue pup that when she got home she just passed out ha! Amber is super sweet and her children love animals. They made Marley our pup so comfortable and she was so happy to be playing with their dogs and children. Definitely trust her with our pup’s care and rebooked her already!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and currently live with four of my own, ranging from a small chihuahua mix to a large German shepherd mix. I’ve raised all of them since they were puppies and have supported them through crate training, behavior shaping, and even recovery from major surgeries. As a Navy veteran and stay-at-home dog dad, I take pride in creating a calm, consistent, and loving environment. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone. I’m able to provide supervision throughout the day, frequent potty breaks, regular feeding schedules, and plenty of affection and playtime. I have experience with: • Crate training • Oral medication administration • Senior dog care • Post-surgery support and wound care • Managing multiple dogs at once with different needs We have a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I always tailor care based on your dog’s personality, routine, and preferences. Whether your pup is active and playful or prefers quiet companionship, they’ll get the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m home all the time, so your dog will never be left alone. I’m always around to give frequent potty breaks, feed on schedule, and keep a close eye on how they’re doing. With four dogs of my own, I’m used to having a routine built around their needs, from playtime in the yard to quiet time inside. Being home full-time means I can give your pup the attention, comfort, and consistency they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm home environment with a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. Because I’m home all day, your pup will always be supervised, whether they’re playing, resting, or adjusting to a new space. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog like family and follow your preferences closely to make sure your pup feels at ease. Whether your dog needs structure, space, or extra affection, I adapt to what makes them feel safe and happy. You’ll also get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Bleu loves visiting! Would recommend Davian anytime.”


“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”

About: We had a dog, Moto, who we miss very much. I miss walking him in the neighborhood and would love to have a reason to walk again. Experience with strong pullers, reactive dogs and dogs who like to walk fast. Goal is to get some more daily walks in during my work day and take some dogs along. I work from home so can provide a comfortable environment if they are hanging with me, along with play in the backyard. My family and I also love watching dogs for a few hours or a few days. No other animals in the home but we have a fenced in yard. Dog must be safe around respectful though small children in the home if they are staying after school hours or overnight.

“Melissa was great and my pup LOVED playing at her house with her dog. He came home so happy and totally tucked out. It was also wonderful to receive pictures throughout the day to know he was having a good time. We will definitely be returning in the near future because we know he is in good hands in Melissa's care.”


About: I can take care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve personally raised 4 dogs from puppyhood to final days over a 20 year timeline. I have two very friendly & goofy female boxers and have always been around high energy, full-of-personality dogs. I’m confident and comfortable around dogs of all demeanors and have experience in handling and training dogs of all skill and reactivity levels. Aside from dogs, I’m also an equestrian and highly skilled with horses having grown up with them my entire life. I'm a remote worker for the most part. I sell homes for a living so I'm able to work from anywhere so long as I have my computer with me. I have a team of agents underneath me to see to the day-to-day field activities so I can spend 100% of the time with your pets! In my own home and we have a large (6'x4') crate, though our dogs have since graduated out of it. I'm very active in my day to day life and can ensure exercise for your pets in the form of walks, hikes, beach days, you name it. In our home the dogs rule the roost! It's really their home, we just live there. They're welcome in all areas of the home, they can lounge on the couch, and sleep in our bed at night. We have more toys than our dogs know what to do with and we're very selective of the food and treats we give our pets. Everything must be natural and healthy for them.


“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”


“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”


“Bernadette had a great time with Charlie; we were a bit anxious because she only went twice to a daycare and it wasn’t a good fit for her; she’s scared of noises and don’t like loud environment. Charlie’s house seems quiet, with a nice backyard to play around and Bernadette looked very happy when we picked her up! Thank you Charlie for your great care, you’re the best :)”


“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”


“Sean and Amy were great! They were accommodating and understanding when we had to be a bit late and even reassured us that if we had to leave him overnight that was completely okay because sometimes things happen. He came back a happy boy and he probably honestly didn't even want to leave! He had a blast running around in their home and playing with them and their kids. :) Would definitely be using them again!”


“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”
