“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”
“Erica watched our bengal cat for a week, and she was fantastic! Communicated with pictures and videos throughout the stay (and great ones!), lots of play time and attention and a great apartment. He loved his time there! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Recently Laura watched our labradoodle Finn for us while we were away for a week. Laura took excellent care of Finn! He got a walk in the morning and plenty of outdoor time during the day. He had playmates to run around with and Laura threw him a ball to chase after, too. He also got plenty of love and pets from Laura and her family. Finn was well entertained and happy all the while we were away. We will be using Laura again! Finn can't wait to go back!! He loves it at Laura's house!!”
“Our little nugget had a wonderful stay with Jenny’s family and furbaby. He had good walks, good photos, and came home cleaner than we left him :-) Thx will keep in mind for our future dogvacay/rover needs.”
“Darien took such amazing care of my girl during my 3-week trips and constantly updated me with photos and how the little one was doing! She is deeply caring and professional, highly recommend her for daycare and boarding services!”
“Lana is simply the best sitter around town! My german shephard and shih tzu are so comfortable in her home. Lana is very communicative and consistently updates me on how my babies are doing with cute photos and videos. Satisfaction guarenteed 👍👍👍”
“Jaina was very responsive when we had a last minute booking for our dog. He was well taken care of and we got daily updates about how he was doing. Brewster is excited to visit again soon!”
“Cherie and her family were great hosts for our canine family member Gigi . Gigi received great care and had lots of fun with the family puppy and young son - whom Gigi now regards as one of her very best human friends (he knows how to really throw a ball).”
“Sebastian was a great host for Attie through the holidays! We got updates every day and Sebastian was always super communicative about how she was doing and getting along with the other dogs. Attie loved the outdoor space and she came back to us a happy pup at the end of her stay. We are excited for Attie to stay with Sebastian again the next time we're in the area!”
“Kathleen and her husband were so amazing with my little pup! She has terrible separation anxiety and I was so worried about leaving her alone in a new environment, but Kathleen and her family took the time to make my little girl feel extra comfortable. She ended up having a blast! It was so comforting getting picture and video updates of our fluff ball. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Gail did a great job with Raven. We usually are worried about whether Raven will adjust to a new sitter, but Gail quickly sent us pictures and a note letting us know how quickly she bonded with Raven and how calm she had become.”
“I cannot recommend Corinne enough as a caretaker for your fur baby. She and her family took amazing care of my dachshund, Cora, while I was out of the country. Corinne was highly communicative, providing updates and making sure I never had to worry about my girl. She formed a special bond with Cora, giving her so much love and attention. Cora enjoyed multiple walks a day and was truly treated like part of the family. It was such a relief knowing she was in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to look after your pet, Corinne is the best choice.”
“Our pup, Josie, had a wonderful time with Diana! She took such great care of her and was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be reaching out to Diana next time we’re in the area. Josie just loved her. Highly recommend.”
“Lindsey & her family was great with our two dogs. She sent many update pictures and the dogs looked very happy either playing or cuddling with her boys (their favorite activities). I’d book with her again!”
“Dawn was absolutely fantastic! We left our dog with her for around 10 days while we were out of the country and Dawn kept us continuously informed with pictures and updates. Even though we were away for a while, we felt our dog was safe and in good hands - probably had a vacation of his own! When we got back, we could tell our dog enjoyed his stay and we will definitely look to Dawn again for future boardings. 100% recommend!!”
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.

Shirley & Anthony W.
“To Fellow Pet Owners, If you are seeking exceptional, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitters, I wholeheartedly recommend this couple. I have had the pleasure of knowing them for many years and can confidently attest to their dedication and expertise in caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Their approach to pet care is both professional and heartfelt—they treat every dog as a cherished member of their family. Whether engaging in playful activities, enjoying peaceful moments in their spacious, fenced yard, or simply offering comforting companionship, they create a warm and secure environment where dogs feel truly at home. Their attentiveness to each dog’s unique personality and needs is extraordinary, and their commitment to safety and happiness is unwavering. Reliable, nurturing, and intuitive, they possess a natural ability to connect with animals. If my dog could speak, I am certain he would offer his enthusiastic approval. Choosing them will undoubtedly bring peace of mind and joy to both you and your beloved pet. Warm regards, Jen”
