About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 7 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, it does not matter because I love them all. I treat my cats and dogs like family members, and so I will do with yours :) I am currently establishing my own daycare business, so I am available 24/7. I can do same day bookings as long as my schedule is opened. I have a fenced yard and small pool for outdoor activities, and my house is made for furry friends, they are allowed everywhere, no exceptions. I also have a big crate if your pup prefers some privacy.

“Leia loves going to stay with Vanessa. Vanessa is great with her! She sends cute photo updates when Leia boards with her, so I always appreciate that. She always follows lele schedule and is very pleasant. I have booked with her twice and will again.”


“Jacky was amazing in taking care of our baby Ivy. He sent pictures frequently which we really appreciate. Weather was bad on a day , so he took her out for a walk earlier to ensure she gets some time outside. He even left a toy in her bag as a return gift which was very sweet of him. Will def recommend and use him for our future bookings.”


“We are very pleased with the care that Desi provided our dog for 10 days. Her home is very inviting and she displays a true passion for dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there as she took extra time to review instructions with us. We received updates with daily photos from her while we were away. She even cleaned our pup up prior to pick up. We highly recommend her to others who need dog care and will hire her again in the future. Thank you Desi”

About: Hey everyone! My name is Senada and I’m a BIG animal lover! Our family dog Boss, a sweet pittie, who crossed over the rainbow bridge in 2023, lived to be 16 years old under our passionate care, we miss him dearly and he’s forever in our hearts. I’ve frequently dog sit my daughters 2 year old rat terrier named Ace, my best friends poodle mix named Toby and my sons girlfriends dog a sweet 14 year old cockerpoo named Daisy. I am now looking to extend my loving care to my local community! I am retired and have plenty of flexibility, my yard is big and fully fenced and enclosed. I only dog sit one pet at a time, so your fur-child would have my undivided attention during their stay here. A typical day with your pet under my care would be, early morning coffee on the patio, followed by a nice walk, i walk a lot, so I’d love the company! Followed up by breakfast and then naps and playing fetch, if desired, in the back yard or just relaxing. In the evening I typically enjoy a smaller walk to release a little more energy and unwind for the evening, followed by dinner and then some relaxation on the couch before bedtime. I can also adjust my routine and accommodate any of your pets needs. Please let me know if you have ANY questions and i look forward to hearing from you and your beloved fur-child! With love, Senada I am retired, which means I have the time and flexibility to take care of your fur-baby and can accommodate your schedule. Therefore your pet will not interfere with my relaxed pace at all and I’d love the company! I live on a quiet street and have a big fully fenced yard. I also love taking walks and spending time outside, so there will be plenty of that.

“My dog had a great time staying with MJ and her family. I wasn’t worried about him while he was with them and they were great at sending photos and keeping me updated. I would definitely book with them again!”

“Kylie was amazing! Very communicative and attentive. Chucky had a blast! Thank you Kylie! 🙏🏽”


About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.

“Zoe was great with Piper! I think I had more anxiety then my little sweet pup to leave her for a week with someone I didn’t know. Zoe exceeded my expectations and sent pictures of Piper everyday. Piper even rolled over for Zoe and she does that only for those who live at my home :)”


“So grateful to drop off our girl, Sophie for the first time. Allison was so friendly and reassuring. Sophie had a great time and it's wonderful to have a spot to take her when we are in town to see our folks. Great fenced in yard was a bonus!!”


“Debra was extremely patient and kind to Poncho who has non-aggressive fearful tendencies towards other people and dogs. Debra called, sent texts and pictures to update me on how things were going. She went out of her way to make Poncho as comfortable as he would allow himself to be. Max is also the sweetest! Could not have asked for more for Poncho’s stay.”


“Kristin and her family took great care of Grady! Her pictures and videos gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. We sure did miss him, but he received much love and play! He was tired!!! Thank you again for all you did!”


“Le’Andra was an amazing sitter for Bella! She sent me lots of photo updates along with detailed messages that really put my mind at ease. She was also super flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. Bella came home tired, happy, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend!”
