“I highly recommend Ivan's services - while just a short 1 day stay, he took great care of our pup. He came back to us 24 hours later well-fed and having taken multiple long walks. Ivan kept us updated throughout the stay w/ quick snippets and several pictures. We will definitely request Ivan's help again!”
“I can’t believe we got this lucky. Michael is only the nicest human on the planet. He and his family took the best care of our Brucey while we were on our 2.5-week trip to Ireland. Daily walks, daily pics, great guy, the best care. Only negative is that I thiiiiiink he stole my dog’s heart ♥️”
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a (mostly) retired nurse & former farmer, offering a homey stay for your dog. I'm experienced with livestock, birds, all sorts of creatures. Your dog will enjoy the ideal location of my comfy home--its sunny decks, and fenced yard-- nearby to beaches, off-leash Quarry Park, and the recreation and coastal paths. You can enjoy your time away, knowing your pooch is having a great time at my place. I'm at home days & evenings, close by to the critters. Semi retired now, I'm able to dedicate myself to a pet-centric life, to the benefit of all. My home is set up for comfort--making the most of this idyllic coastal environment. Low windows at the front allow the dogs to observe those passing on the street. Two sunny decks connect to my fenced yard, providing a secure, relaxed environment. I am steps from the rec & coastal paths, dog-friendly Quarry Park, the harbor & coastal beaches. Enjoy peace of mind during your time away! Your dog will be a valued guest in my pooch-centric home.
“Ash took AMAZING care of my Frenchie! She treated her like her own, gave just the right amount of updates, and was so thoughtful about Boba’s needs (like no jumping). Boba got plenty of belly rubs, stayed entertained, and they even made us a piece of art together. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Yoko was wonderful with my dog, Mochi. She took Mochi on long walks, played with her, and even cooked and fed her chicken breast when Mochi was not eating properly. Yoko was also great at sharing regular updates with plenty of pictures and videos. She made me feel at peace while I was away, as I knew Mochi was in good hands.”
“Drew and Gregg were absolutely incredible with my girl. They asked so many thoughtful questions, and were extra prepared for her stay. Drew has decades of expertise and experience, and shared lots of helpful insights with me. She prioritizes safety and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. My girl is both strong and reactive to other dogs, and Drew handled everything with ease. I will absolutely be rebooking with her, and feel lucky to have access to sitters like her!”
“Carlos provided expert care to our puppy when we were on a weekend trip. We felt a sense of relief when we met him because he is such a natural with dogs and our puppy warmed up to him immediately.”
“I am a little bit of an overprotective dog mom. This was my first time in a while leaving my girl with someone new. Bennett did a great job! He was responsive to communication, easy to work with and provided frequent updates and pictures. It made going out of town so much easier. I have already booked with him for a second stay.”
“Leticia was wonderful! This was our dog Miles's first time staying with her. We were nervous as Miles is a sweet but very shy dog and takes time to warm up to people. Leticia was patient and loving and within no time, Miles felt at home with Leticia. Leticia shared lots of great photos and kept in great communication throughout the week. Thank you Leticia for showering Miles with love and affection! Miles came home happy and we look forward to having him stay with you again ❤️.”
“Julian, was awesome! Not only was he available on short notice, but he was more than willing to be flexible with our requested days. Julian was also very communicative throughout Justice’s stay with him, via pictures and text messages. Justice, our dog, had a great time, and Julian made it easy for Justice to be comfortable around him, in the short time that he was with him!”
“We were very impressed with Shobha! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog and kept us updated regularly with great photos and videos. Her spacious backyard gave our pup plenty of room to roam freely and play with other dogs, which made us feel at ease. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We’ll definitely use her services again! Highly recommended.”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of my cat! Friendly, good communication, and a real love for pets! I could tell Kit was happy and content with you. Thanks a million!”
“I left my 11 month old puppy with William for a weekend and I will definitely have her stay with him again. I loved receiving photos and video while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone you meet over an app but after the first day I was left much more at ease seeing how much fun she was having playing with his Pomeranian.”
“Minori was absolutely wonderful with our dog! I will 100% considered her for next time! I don't think our dog would have any reservations with that, haha. Minori was very professional and enthusiastic up-front. Through our dog's stay, it was immediately evident that our dog was on vacation just as much as we were! She stayed in constant communication, provided daily reports, along with plenty of pictures [of our dog having lots of fun]. We picked up our dog and left with a feeling of a new friend.”
“Yvonne and Fred were extremely caring to my senior boy Ziggy. He requires patience and special attention and they did just that. I appreciate you both for the follow up texts and pictures. 5 paws/stars excellent care.”
