“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”


“OMG. This was my first experience and can not emphasize how awesome, understand loving caring Maria is!! Even though my pumpkin stayed for one night half day she had pumpkin make a pup craft for Valentine's. This was not expected and Soo thoughtful. It was cute and Maria loved pumpkin. She not only updated me while I was gone but send us pic and videos with her young nephew playing too with pumpkin. I will definitely book her again and can not spread the word about Maria's service. I bet pumpkin misses you guys too as she found good friends to play with. Thank you, Maria!❣️🤗”


“Received updates - pictures and videos - throughout the stay to show just how well my dog was doing and how much fun, love, and attention she was getting.

“Jessica and her family took care of Avery as if she was one of their own. Avery is an anxious girl with limited vision and Jess took extra care to make sure she felt at home. I was a wreck when I dropped Avery off, but felt relieved after the first night. The daily updates were much appreciated and I highly recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


“I really appreciated Samantha caring for my dog on a last minute weekend trips. She sent me pictures throughout the day. Lucy looked happy in each picture she sent me. My fur baby made new friends with Sam’s fur babies and I know Lucy really enjoyed their company. Sam took Lucy out on walks her human children played with Lucy, which is great because Lucy sometimes has a lot of energy. Lucy’s back home hating life being the only fur baby at home but resting after her long fun filled weekend. I would definitely recommend Samatha.”

“Diyanna was amazing, she took the best care of my frenchie koa while I was away. I loved that she sent multiple updates and pictures of koa throughout the day 🥰 Koa unfortunately stepped on a foxtail and needed medical assistance- Diyanna went above and beyond taking him to the vet and ensuring he was well cared for after his treatment. Being that I was so far away, I felt so comfortable knowing that Koa was in good hands(thank you again 🫶🏼). I highly recommend Diyanna!”


About: We’re Dave and Anabel, experienced and dependable pet sitters with a lifelong love for animals. For over four decades, we’ve shared our lives with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and we’ve proudly served as “dog grandparents” for the past ten years. I’m currently not working, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive, round-the-clock care for your dog. With open availability each day, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet requires. Your dog’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. Our approach to pet care is built on trust, consistency, and respect for each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether caring for pets in your home or ours, we take time to understand and follow established routines to keep tails wagging and stress at bay. At our home, we offer a secure, shaded fenced backyard for outdoor play and an open floor plan indoors—perfect for easy movement and supervision. We’re fully compliant with local leash laws, monitor for signs of stress or illness, and stay in regular communication to ensure peace of mind and a safe, nurturing environment for every pup.

“This was Bristol’s first overnight boarding, and Alayna went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. She met with us in person beforehand to ensure that Bristol and Jake could get to know each other, which made the transition much easier. Alayna is incredibly considerate and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. Her warm and attentive approach gave us peace of mind and made Bristol’s stay truly comfortable.”


“I’d give Karolina 6 stars if I could! The whole process from meet and greet to the end of our trip went very well. She kept us updated with pictures while we were gone. Most importantly, our dog is happy and healthy and was well loved.”


“Kip felt comfortable and safe with Samantha. I had to contact her on a holiday because the other Rover sitter cancelled my reservation. In spite of the holiday, Samantha was responsive and answered all of my questions, putting my mind at ease. Samantha didn't provide photos during Kip's stay, but I didn't ask for any either.”
