“Christina did it again. Frankie had another enjoyable vacation in Ladora. At almost 16 years old, he sometimes needs a little extra and Christina gave him the royal treatment.”
“Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!”
“Sasha was a great sitter! Highly recommend using her if you get the chance. She was friendly, communicative, and I could tell she really loves animals. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats of my own.

“Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!”
“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

Carmen T.
“I know Carmen on both a professional and personal level. I would not hesitate for one second to leave her in charge of my home, pets or children when they were younger. She is extremely loving, caring, warm and so ethical. She is an animal lover and has been her whole life. You will agree with all of the above within seconds of meeting her.”
Tammy & Ken F.
“I have had two high maintenance and loveable huskies which made me very concerned about leaving them with a less experienced animal care provider. After seeing Tammy love and care for her own dogs (a variety inclyding huskies) I knew she was the right choice for us. I was very happy that ahe kept me updated with photos of them and their activities each day. When I returned to get them they were exhausted from all the play and I could tell my dogs lived being there. We now call her place our dog vacation resort. I still have a husky and now a small sichon. I have full trust that while I am on my 10 day vacation, my dogs will be safe, loved, we'll cater for and socialized.”
