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.

“Kristyna 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 didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“This 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!”

“Nicole 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!”

“Celeste was amazing and went above and beyond to take care of our pup. He’s 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 vet’s 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.”
