“We left our 1 year-old dog Batman with Brett and Sandra for the weekend and it worked out perfectly. After the initial introductions a couple days before, we knew Batman got along great with their easy-going standard poodle Jack. Throughout the weekend they texted us with updates and pictures of the dogs playing. They have a huge backyard where they ran around all weekend. Batman slept for two days when we got home. We would definitely recommend Brett and Sandra to anyone and plan on using their services in the future. Great family! ”
“Annie and Mobie had a great time with Larry! Running around in the huge shaded backyard with other dogs to play with and squirrels to chase was a fun vacation for them. Larry sent pictures and updates. Totally trust my dogs with Larry!”

“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have only met a couple that was not interested in being my friend. Total dog dad with 3 seniors in the home, all are super friendly. They enjoy walks on the beach every day and are very comfortable around other dogs and people. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly and there is a park just a block away. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My pups get plenty of attention each day and enjoy playing with new friends. Your pup will be right at home in our house. It’s very relaxed and calm. We can also do drop in visits to your home, go to the beach, or to one of several parks on the island. I know how it feels to have to leave my furries behind, so with that in mind , I’ll do my best to keep them distracted while their humans are away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, some special needs as well! I’ve been working/volunteering at the humane society since I was 13 now 20 haha! I have also vet shadowed at a vet office, and watch my family and friends dog while they are out of town! I’m a lover of all animals. I have a very flexible schedule I work part time as a server and I do online school. I can also work with most schedules handed to me. I won’t be able to board at my house but I would be more than happy to watch your dog at your house in the comfort of your animals home! I am up for walks, going to a dog park, beach or whatever instructions you would like for your loved one.
“Melanie was super accommodating and helpful for our wedding day dog care! Worked out very well for her to pop over to our wedding venue for some brief dog pictures. Very quick to respond and reliable!”
About: I was mom of a pincher doberman for 13 years. I also have taken care of my friend’s golden poodle several times. I love to treat dogs as they are another human being because they deserve that and more! I am a college student and most of my classes are online so I am very flexible with my routine in taking care dogs and being responsible/caring with them. I keep them on my room playing with me, chilling, oe sleeping. Also, go for walks with them being very responsible with some animal that can be out there and can harm.
“Mallory and Aaron were awesome and sent picture and video updates while I was away on my trip. They loved my pup like it was their own and I felt like he was in capable and loving hands while I was away. Could not recommend these lovely people enough, they were exceptionally kind and welcoming and even replaced my dogs broken o-ring on his name tag, they went above and beyond!”
