About: I have experience with various dog breeds from pups-senior. I am very comfortable administering medications if needed. My labrador was AKC certified emotional support animal and I volunteered with him at several organizations in the area including with NAMI. I am competent in basic obedience training and behavior modification. I am currently working part time from home and will be home all throughout the week. Your pets will never be unattended longer than a couple of hours. I have a fenced yard fit for roaming, sniffing, and running but, better yet, I am located just feet from the First Landing state park trail and only a block from the beach. My home is set up to be pet friendly, your pets will love the comfy couches and beds.
âKristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didnât even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!â

âPatricia took great care of my dog, and I think he really enjoyed his time with her and her family. She sent lots of updates and photos, which really eased my mind! I will definitely use her in the future, and recommend her!â

âI was so thankful that Yelinda accepting my request with such short notice; it really helped me out of a complicated situation!! She was courteous, communicative, and so easy to talk to!! I could see that my Carmelo really enjoy this time with her, and I for sure will be looking again!!!â

âEsther did a great job housing our pup. She has a huge backyard and spent time getting their energy out. Very communicative and responsive. Would definitely book again.â

âStacy went above and beyond during Lamb Chops stay. I received updates and photos on a daily basis on how Lamb Chop was doing. Lamb Chop usually gets separation anxiety but seemed very happy during her stay receiving the best care and treatment.â

âThis is the first time we have left our pup with anyone, and Derek provided the best possible experience. We selected him based on his stellar reviews on Rover, and are super pleased with everything from the meet and greet to the daily updates with photos and videos. He gave us such peace of mind to know how well our dog Puka was being cared for and having such fun with his Frankie and Ruby. Derek has such a great and fun personality himself, we will definitely use him again whenever we go out of town!â

âAwesome sitter! Felt nervous trying Rover for the first time and he David 100% made me feel good about leaving my dog in his car. My dog felt so comfortable and happy at his house!!â

âKari is a wonderful and experienced dog sitter who took one of my hound's special needs in stride. She was great about sending updates and pictures, and she seemed to genuinely enjoy having my dogs stay with her. I will definitely be using her again and I know my hounds will be eager to go back.â
âNicole was a gem! She took very good care of our dog Gino and worked with our schedule, I mistakenly forgot to text her to let her know my daughter was picking up the dog early, totally my fault, and she was understanding and worked with me, she has other dogs that got along well with mine, she's the local dog whisperer is what my wife and I said, lol, I will be going back to her for sure in the future!â
âTy was a great sitter for our pups! She provided daily check ins with photos. Drop off and pick up was simple and Ty allowed us to stay a couple minutes at drop off to let our fur babies warm up to the home. Overall a great experience and would definitely use Ty again!â

âReiniza was so sweet with Gus and gave tons of updates. He absolutely loved his time with her and her family while we were on a trip and was utterly spoiled. It was so nice knowing he was in good handsâ

âLisa has watched our girls multiple times and goes above and beyond for them when theyâre in her and her familyâs care! Sheâs great at providing updates and the dogs become a part of the family when theyâre with her. We couldnât recommend her more to care for your furry friends!â

âChris takes such good care of my little fella that Dash looks forward to seeing him and knows he will get lots of walks, love and attention during his stay. I think heâs fantastic!â

âCeleste was amazing and went above and beyond to take care of our pup. Heâs stayed with her a few times and had a great stay. Most recently he started showing signs of an eye infection the day after we dropped him off. She responded quickly and was super flexible and easy to work with in coordinating with the vetâs schedule to see him. She made sure he was seen quickly and administered several meds until we could return to pick him up. So thankful!! Highly recommend.â

âMartha and her family were so sweet and did a great job taking care of our pups for a weekend. She was even able to get my dogâs nails trimmed so I know she was gentle enough for my dog to trust her. I would definitely have Martha watch our pups again!â

âBronnie really enjoyed his stay with Jose and Dulce. He was still my happy, vibrant doggy when I picked him up. I received lots of âprofessional likeâ pictures while he was in their care. I will definitely rebook with this family. â¤ď¸â

âKaitlyn was so great at taking care of our puppy! We were so relieved knowing she was in great hands while we were out of town. We recommend Kaitlyn 100% percent! She was excellent!â
