“Can’t rave about this experience enough! I had Alicia watch Gracie (my extremely timid 3.5 month old jack Russell) over the weekend while I was at work and not only did Gracie come home tuckered out, she was always so happy - wagging her tail and relaxing - whenever I’d come to pick her up. So it was very easy to tell that she had a good time and wasn’t in a rush to go home. Which if you’re like me and your pup is basically your child, you know how great and important that feeling is because you want your baby to be safe AND also NOT be miserable lol. So I really appreciate Alicia’s warmth and the fun atmosphere she provided because it really pulled Gracie out of her shell - and for that I’m so excited and grateful! I honestly cannot wait to schedule with Alicia again and recommend her to all my dog friends! ☺️”

About: Besides training my own puppies, and taking care of senior dogs, I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. Since I was young I’ve loved walking my neighbors/friends dogs and house sitting when needed! Also, I have volunteered with animal shelters, taking dogs for field trips and walks so I have experience with dogs with different temperaments and leash-walking ability. I’m comfortable caring for any size and breed of dog. I’m currently available for drop-ins and dog walking. No matter what, I can work around my schedule to care for your dog. I love staying active and keeping busy, so I can fit multiple walks a day if wanted! In my own home, I take my dog on a lengthy walk at least once a day and spend hours engaging with my pets to keep them happy and healthy. I never let the pets I watch outside on their own incase of safety issues. On walks, I make sure to provide enough water and limit exposure to heat, especially on the asphalt. I care for other people’s animals as if they are my own, so I do everything in my power to keep them happy and comfortable!

“I just loved Alex from the moment I met her! I could tell right away that she is who I would leave my dog with. She took excellent care of my dog and was always quick with responding. She was so good to send me pictures of my Bella during the day keeping me updated on how she was doing. Thank you Charlie and Chandra for being so kind and patient with Bella!! I highly recommend Alex.”


About: Hello there! I'm Allie, and I have a lifelong passion for animals. My journey in pet care began over ten years ago when I started fostering kittens, providing them with a loving and nurturing environment until they found their forever homes. Alongside fostering, I've spent countless hours volunteering at animal shelters, where I've gained hands-on experience cleaning litter boxes, feeding, and socializing cats of all ages. Over the years, I've fostered over 20 kittens, each with their own unique personalities and needs. From bottle-feeding newborns to helping shy kittens come out of their shells, fostering has given me invaluable experience in kitten care. I've taken basic and advanced cat handling classes from the Arizona Animal Welfare League to deepen my understanding of feline behavior and communication. This knowledge allows me to better anticipate and meet the needs of the pets in my care. While my primary focus has been on cats, I also have experience with puppies and small dogs through personal pet ownership. Recognizing the unique needs and individual personalities of dogs, I approach each interaction with patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to learn. I often read books on both dogs and cats to expand my knowledge and seek out opportunities to talk to others about their experiences. With a heart full of love and a willingness to go the extra mile, I am wholeheartedly committed to becoming a trusted sitter for your beloved furry companions. I am home full time during the week so that I can give your pets the attention they deserve. I would like advance notice of two days for new clients so that I can go over all of your pet's information. I may accept requests sooner than that but it will depend on my availability. For repeat clients I am able to accommodate last minute bookings including same day requests. I am able to be flexible with weekends as well but would prefer that those bookings are at least two days in advance. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR as well as ensured. Before booking or at drop off, I would like to have a conversation to discuss your pet's routine, preferences, and any special requirements they may have. During their stay, I will closely follow your instructions to ensure consistency and familiarity for your pet. This includes feeding them according to their regular schedule, providing fresh water, , and following any specific dietary restrictions. At any given time I could have up to two pets staying with me for boarding, and one for doggy daycare. This does not include my own. For this reason, I section off rooms/areas of the house to be designated for either dogs or cats. Pets of different species may come in contact with each other, but I will always be there to supervise. If I am unable to supervise for any period of time, each animal will be separated from any others. I provide microchip pet feeders to ensure that all pets are eating their own food to minimize an upset stomach as well as a water fountain with an advanced cleaning and filtering system. For cats, I will attach a tracker to their collar as an additional safety measure. If your cat does not have a collar, I will provide one for the duration of their stay unless requested not to. All dogs will be in a fenced yard or on a leash when outside my gate. I believe that it's important to not only have someone to provide the basic essentials, but to also truly bond with them when possible either through playtime or cuddling. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet while away, so I will always send regular updates and photos. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands.

“Olivia is fantastic. She is kind, gentle and nurturing! Our girl had a blast and knocked out on the car ride home. She is a happy pup today thanks to Olivia and our new doggo friends! Would 100% recommend and use Olivia again! Thank you for loving her as your own!”


“She did an amazing job caring for my dog! Was very accommodating and allowed us to do a brief meet and greet prior to service and sent many updates and photos of my dog having a great day of play! Very happy with the dog day care and quality of his stay with her!”

9. Allie S.

“I have met very few people in the world who show as much dedication to animals as Allie. She truly has a gift with them. I have never seen her meet an animal she didn't love or that didn't love her. She's patient enough to housetrain a puppy, foster over twenty kittens ranging from 3 to ten weeks, and provide support and advice to her fellow pet owners. There's no one whose opinion I trust more when it comes to pets and few pet parents who spoil theirs nearly as rotten. Of all the people I could have watch my pet, Allie would be my first pick.”

18. Tejaswini K.
“I couldn't be happier with the dog boarding experience for my poodle, Nala! From start to finish, Tejaswini was absolutely amazing. provided timely updates with pictures and videos of her daily walks and playtime, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Always responsive and clear. What truly stood out was how gentle and caring she was with Nala. She can be a bit shy at first, but made her feel comfortable right away. Also, took special care of her dietary needs, ensuring she avoided anything with chicken due to her allergy. It was such a relief knowing she was in safe hands. Tejaswini was incredibly accommodating, letting her snuggle on the furniture and even allowing her to sleep in the same room, just like she does at home. That extra level of care made all the difference! I could tell she had a blast because they were so playful and engaging with her—she came home happy and well cared for! If you're looking for a place that truly loves and understands dogs, this is it. Highly recommend!”
