About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.
“Candace did a great job. My dog Jax seemed to be very happy with her. She was also very kind and helped me at the absolute last minute because I was in a tight spot. Would definitely book again.”

“Ms. Lori was a blessing to me and my fur babies! She accepted to keep them for me as I had a last minute emergency and had to get to work. She was very sweet , updated me with pics and most of all she spoiled them with love and care the same way I would and truly appreciated her for that! They really enjoyed staying with her and we plan to keep her as a permanent sitter ❤️ thanks so much Lori!”

“Langston was wonderful with my pup! From the first meet & greet, he made me (and Lela) feel totally comfortable. She had such a great time with his dog Moscoe and came home happy and relaxed, conked out the rest of the night. Communication was also great: I loved getting photo updates and seeing how well she was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience, and I’d absolutely bring her back again. Highly recommend!”

Our dog Bronco had a great time at daycare while we explored some places in the area that weren’t dog friendly. I enjoyed getting lots of videos and pictures of him while we were out and about. The outdoor area was wonderful for him to run around and stretch his legs! Thank you!!
