About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed. Anthony is home all day, and I have a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a buddy for playtime, we’re here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.

“I was so impressed by Johanna’s genuine care and kindness for my puppy, Noodle. I received pictures and enthusiastic updates all through the day, she paid special attention to my pup/fed/and walked her, great communication. Upon picking Noodle up after the long day she was relaxed and happy, 10/10 excellent experience, thank you!”

“Jillian and her husband, Andrew, took such good care of my two pomeranians. My guys felt right at home and were well taken care of. They seemed to be well rested and very comfortable when I picked them up. I will certainly be booking with Jillian again!”


“Dawn and Lola welcomed Pebbles with such kindness. Dawn was so pleasant and concerning to Pebbles needs. Pebbles has separation anxiety and Dawn comforted her while I was leaving. The many photos I received made me feel so comfortable that Pebbles was having a great time and in great hands!😊.”


“Ruyi did a great job taking care of my dog. She provided constant updates, and responded to messages super fast. She’s very attentive - she noticed my dog ate his food super fast so she used a kong for him! 100% recommend!”



“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”


About: I had my own dogs for 24 years. I trained them to sit when I come home and before they eat. I love to be around dogs and give them lots of attention. I provide dog walking, boarding, drop-in visits and doggie day care. I also provide stack services as well. I am currently a man of leisure. So I have the time in the morning hours to dog sit. So it will fit my schedule. I can keep them in my homes. I let them sleep on my couch and can crate them - (if the owner has a crate to provide and that is what the owner of the dog wants. Then I will give the owner what they want.)

“Louis was very communicative both before and during our dog’s day with him. He sent many pictures and updates and it was clear she was having a blast. Our dog had such a nice time that she didn’t even seem excited to be picked up at the end of the day because we interrupted her play session haha, we would definitely use Louis again to board our dog and recommend him to friends and family as well”


About: Growing up as dog lovers and owners, we have 17 years of experience. Having raised family dogs from pup to senior who were loved dearly, trained when younger and supported as they aged. We have also cared for friends pets on many occasions, and deeply enjoy showering them all with love. Between the two of us we have a flexible hybrid remote schedule so we’re able to accommodate you and your pets needs! We’re available Sunday-Tuesday, Thursday-Saturday for daily walks, daycare, and over night sitting. We live in a very dog friendly complex, which has its own turf surfaced dog park, as well plenty of grassy knolls to romp about on!

“Shailee was very friendly and communicative. She took Rei out on plenty of walks and gave me a lot of updates. You can tell she cares about animals a lot! Rei definitely had a great time. Thank you Shailee so much for watching Rei!”


About: I love, love, love animals. I’ve fostered and have adopted a few dogs over the years. I’ve never trained a puppy but have definitely given loving care to seniors in the past. I work part time hours at a nearby retail store. I am basically free to care for your pup day and/or night. I prefer small lap dogs. Your pet will basically receive one on one care. No other animals in my home or children. Just my husband and I. We would enjoy the time with your pet.
