“I am EXTREMELY grateful to have found Erica! She's great with dogs and their humans too lol. I was able to leave my baby with her and there was not a moment I was worried about him or felt he was not getting the best love and care. I've already rebooked with her and recommended her to a family member of mine. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur baby.”

My dog seemed to be in good spirits when I arrived to pick him up and that let me know he enjoyed having Darius as his caretaker for the weekend.”
“Hilary was a great choice for my dog, Lenny. She was so attentive and provided great check ins throughout the stay. I was so happy to have found such a good fit for my dog.

About: AVAILABILITY: SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ALL DAY. MONDAY THUR FRIDAY: Before 8am and anytime after 4PM. I am also available for holidays as well. I am really good with animals. I have taken care all stages, young puppy to senior. I love to be active and play with them. I will also just love chilling and petting them. I have a dog myself and she is very loved. I also had another dog when I was married and he's a husky/lab mix so I can handle stubborn breeds. My dog is feed twice a day. And she goes outside right after eating and a couple times in between and once more before bed.
“Lidia took great care of my two dogs! She is very communicative, sending photos and videos! This is the second time she has watched my dogs and will definitely be using her again!”

Leslie took excellent care of our baby, Coach during our trip to Hawaii She kept us updated with Coach’s mood, eating and walks, sharing daily pictures and videos. Coach gets easily stressed and anxious but Leslie was very patient and understanding. She was incredibly responsible and genuinely committed to gain Coach’s trust. We felt calm and happy knowing that Coach was having a great time while being well cared for. I highly recommend Leslie, your pup will definitely get the best love and care from her!
O.M.G. You absolutely need to book with her. Our original house-sitting plans fell through just two days before we were leaving for a cruise, and we were scrambling to find someone we could trust. We found her online, and it ended up being the biggest blessing. We went on our 7-day cruise and left our little one in her care, and she treated her like royalty. She took the most adorable glam shots, went on multiple walks every day, and even gave her a bath. We received updates several times a day, and she didn’t just send pictures—she truly captured the joy and fun our pupper was having. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. From the moment we booked, she took the time to learn everything about our pup and made sure to follow every single request. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet and make your time away completely stress-free, she’s the one. She is an incredible, kind-hearted person with a beautiful soul. Thank you sooooo very much for everything—you turned a last-minute stressful situation into the best possible experience for all of us.
Magali and Rick were the absolute best!! Pippa was so well taken care of and she seemed liked she didn’t want to even leave when we picked her up (sad for us, but made us happy that she was safe and well cared for). We got pictures every day with updates on how Pippa was doing. I could not recommend them enough. We even had a snafu with our return trip home and they graciously were able to extend Pippa’s stay on a moments notice. We so appreciated the flexibility!! Thank you so much again ♥️
