“Veronique G and family took great care of Remi. Remi looked like she was part of the family. Thanks so much for caring for my girl and helping with last minute accommodations. Thanks again. Remi will be back.”
“I had the best experience with Amber boarding my pup. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Chase was. You can truly tell she loves what she does. I’m beyond grateful for the care she gave my pup and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Delmy was amazing! She took awesome care of our puppy, Opie. She was extremely responsive and sent many updates throughout the stay with photos and messages. I definitely would trust her and her family to take care of Opie again! 10/10!!!”

“We left our two dogs for the first time with Dan for two nights last weekend and everything went pretty good. Dan and his wife Denise treat the dogs like their own. Dogs are not kept in cages and have a huge beautiful backyard to play in. Dan & Denise are very professional and organized and clearly love dogs. We got updates and photos from them throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Would feel comfortable leaving our dogs with them again.”
“Denise took great care of my baby while I was in vaca. He needed to take his medication daily and she made sure he did. She loved and cared for him like her own. Denise is the best !”
“Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.”
About: Hi, my name is Brenda, and I truly love dogs.❤️ I’ve had them my whole life, and being around them brings me so much joy. I’m a proud dog mom 🐶 and I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced yard and I’m always home, so your pup will receive constant supervision, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable providing medications if needed. I don’t have kids at home (just my own fur baby Nilo) so your pup will be in a calm, safe, and attentive environment. I’m bilingual (fluent in Spanish and English) Please let me know a little about your fur baby, including their routine, personality, and any special needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m always home. My days revolve around caring for dogs (feeding, playtime, outdoor breaks in my fenced yard, walks, and lots of affection) Since I don’t have kids and only my own fur baby at home, I can give full attention to each dog and easily adjust to their routine, whether that means medication, special feeding schedules, or extra cuddles. Caring for dogs isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s part of my everyday life. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. I provide a calm, safe environment with constant supervision. Pups get plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, regular meals, and lots of affection. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and medication if needed. With no kids at home and only my own fur baby, I’m able to give each pet personal attention and a relaxed, loving home while you’re away.

I never leave them alone they are always by my side or being watched in my care. I had a 12 year old Lab/mix senior dog that passed away Jan 2025 that always received a lot of attention from me and would like to do the same for your pet too. I would be available any day of the week or weekend's to take care of your pets needs. Just let me know!

“Trinity was awesome. I was very nervous to leave both my pets for such a long time but Trinity made my trip very stress free. Constant updates and photos. I was very happy and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Leaving our furry family member is never easy, especially being the first time we ever used a dog sitter, but Matthew made the entire process stress free. From the initial meet and greet, Matthew was professional, knowledgeable and it was clear he is a true animal lover. During our 15 day trip, he sent daily photos and updates. It was obvious our dog, Rocky, was having a blast—whether it was on their walks, during playtime, or just snuggling on the couch. We returned to a very happy and content dog. Matthew definitely gained our trust and will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for everything!”
“Georgia seemed happy with her weekend stay. She came home exhausted, I’m sure she ran around the yard and got to stretch her legs! She was walked and seemed to really take to her new friends.”
“Pam is the best!! I have been to other pet daycares and they do not compare. If you want your pup to be well taken care of and have plenty of opportunity to exercise and socialize, I’d highly recommend Pam!”
“Our Riley is an elderly, sensitive dog, so we were initially worried when we had to find a new pet sitter at the last minute. Catherine put us at ease immediately. She's kind, knowledgeable, & trustworthy. Riley had a great stay!”
“First time leaving my mini poodle with anyone. She was very sweet and updated me with photos and messages. He really enjoyed the time with her dog Chloe! They have a fenced in back yard for him to run and play. If she wanted to know something about his routine, she was quick to ask. Would highly recommend!”

Eliana has taken care of our pups before and always does a great job. She is flexible, reliable and takes good care of them. She is very loving with them. She sends us pictures and always makes herself available to communicate during the stay. We highly recommend her!
Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.
Edward is as great with my dog Ollie! He provided daily updates, was flexible and responded in a timely manner. I was nervous since this is the first time I left Ollie for a long period of time but Edward made me feel comfortable and I was confident Ollie was in good hands. Would definitely use Edward again and would recommend him
