Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!

Ivan was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very first day, it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. Our dog stayed with Ivan for 8 days, and throughout that time we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such loving and responsible hands. Ivan kept us regularly updated and sent photos, which meant so much and gave us total peace of mind. He was incredibly accommodating and treated our dog as if he were his own. We came back to a happy, calm dog - which truly says it all. It’s rare to find someone you can fully trust, and Ivan is absolutely one of those people. We are beyond grateful and will definitely be using him again. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional and loving care. 🐶❤️

Leeeun was amazing! She was a great communicator and sent us lots of photos and daily updates, which we really appreciated. Our puppy, Luna clearly had a wonderful time staying with Leeeun and her family. They took Luna to places like trail and downtown, which was so thoughtful. It was clear that Luna was very well cared for. We would absolutely book with Leeeun again and highly recommend her.

Lucky had a wonderful time staying at Sein’s home! She took great care of her and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Lucky’s daily life, along with detailed summaries of her routine—meals, playtime, and potty breaks. This really put our minds at ease while we were away. Sein was also very responsive and always quick to answer any questions or concerns. Lucky clearly enjoyed her stay, especially spending time with the other dogs and cats. We truly appreciate her care and will definitely bring Lucky back again in the future!

Michael was great! I left my dog Echo with him for 3 days and he took care of Echo who seemed to really enjoy Michael’s house and yard. Michael sent daily updates and photos, and my dog was in super happy spirits when I picked him up, so I know he enjoyed his time at Michael’s! Highly recommend and I will use Michael again next time.

My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.

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.

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.

Michele was wonderful! Our 2 senior rescue pups stayed with her for a week. One of our girls had never been away from us more than a day so we were a little nervous. I had nothing to worry about with Michele but my little Maude ended up being a terror. Keeping Michele up at night barking and not letting her touch her at night. Maude was such a pain and Michele is a saint for putting up with her. Michele also gave them their medicine (oral and ear drops) and kept their feeding schedule. She kept me updated and asked permission before stearing away from my care instructions. I would recommend her and use her again!

Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.

This was Charlie, our 1 1/2 year old cockapoo's, first stay with Mario. It went extremely well. Lots of quiet time and long beach walks. Charlie even got a 5 mile beach run! Mario seems to be great with all dogs. They respect him and also feel nurtured by him. I could tell

Benji had a great time staying with Ashley! She has a nice fenced front yard that Benji loves rolling in. He seemed very comfortable and Ashley sent us silly Benji photos during the stay. Would love to have Ashley take care of Benji again for our next visit.
