“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”


“Ronald was very accommodating for our last minute booking from out of town. Kept our Rama busy for the afternoon, and it seems he enjoyed himself! Thanks again! Will definitely book again.”

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable.
About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed. I also have a friendly dog who loves company and gets along well with other pets. You’re welcome to bring any of your pet’s personal items—beds, toys, or a crate—and I have plenty of room to set everything up exactly the way they’re used to. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“So grateful for John and his girlfriend for taking in my pup super last minute, literally within a 30-45min notice! Appreciate John's attentiveness and willingness to watch my dog. He even said not to rush back to pick Bucky up, because they were having a great time with him, which I appreciated and was thrilled to hear that my dog was in great hands! :) Thank you John, we definitely will be using her services in the near future!”

“We are so grateful for Xenia and her family! Skye is a bit shy at first and Xenia & Co. gave him plenty of space and time to get comfortable. Skye looks forward to going to Xenia’s place to play with Ori and Lola all the time now! From all the photos & videos, it definitely looks like he thinks of Xenia’s place as his second home. 🤣”

“Our fur baby Rosie loves visiting Beverly’s place! She gets to run around their large yard all day and play with her friends. Beverly makes sure all the dogs play well with each other. Highly recommend!”


About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.

“My puppy Ash came back happy and tired! Jane and Jimmy are very welcoming and nice, and I really appreciated the photo updates. Definitely will use them again!”

“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”

“We can see that Toro thoroughly enjoyed himself at his first time at day care with Elaine. He came home so tired after a full day of playing with so many variety of dogs. He ate dinner and slept for the rest of the evening. Thanks so much for taking care of our Mr Toro and giving us a piece of mind.”

“Hiromi was the best sitter we could have chosen for our young 3 month old puppy! She gave updates/pictures as often as I wanted to make me feel comfortable. She is extremely nice and our pup was so happy to spend time with her. We booked her for two days in a row- when we dropped him off the second day, he remembered her and was excited! We will definitely take Luke again to Hiromi- she is our #1.”


About: I love dogs and they deserve all of the love. I don’t have any pets at home, I would treat yours like mine. I often babysit my friend’s dog, and I have fostered dog from the rescue too.

I care your pets with all my heart, I follow the routine, and keep you updates with all of details, I like you to know how your pets doing.
About: I fell in love with dogs when I got a mini schnauzer 12 years ago. He was my best buddy until he passed last year. I love to cuddle with pups and take them for walks. I will give your fur baby the attention they crave. Plus, I work from home most days so they will get lots of company. I know how it is to search for a trustworthy sitter! I've used Rover many times for my own dog and love the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I want to offer this same experience for other pet parents. Please note, at this time I can only take care of non-shedding breeds to avoid potential allergies for a family member. If you are interested or want to get more information, send a request or a message! Looking forward to your pup spending some time at our home. I work from home on most days and so your baby will be close to me and get lots of company during the day. I usually go for neighborhood walks at least twice/day and the doggies can sleep where they feel most comfortable. Your doggie is welcome to sleep or lounge wherever they are most comfortable. I live in a safe community with common grass area, and I will take your pup out for a walk at least twice/day. I have a large patio so they can soak up the sunshine.

We met Keith, Cara and their daughter for a meet and greet since we weren’t sure how our dog was going to be around children, and we instantly felt welcomed and they will be able to take good care of our pup! We made them aware that our dog might slightly be anxious around strangers, but he ended up settling in their house at the end of the day. They sent us many photos (which we appreciated) and updated us on how our dog is doing. They were also very flexible with the pickup/drop off times. We definitely will be using their services again!

Ashley was a total win. From the moment she showed up, everything got easier. No weird energy, no fuss—just straight-up calm, capable dog vibes. My mom liked her immediately (which never happens), and I could tell she actually got dogs, not just tolerated them. She picked up on all the Piper-and-Squishy nonsense without needing a novel. Like, yes—Squishy has armpit preferences. And yes—she will scream at you if you ignore them. Ashley clocked it, adapted, and kept it moving. That’s rare. She was chill, responsive, reliable, and totally unfazed by my chaotic messages. Exactly what we needed. Highly recommend. PS. Love love loooved all the pics of our babies cuddled up like VIPs—living large and loving life. THANK YOU, ASHLEY!!! 🌟🐾💖
