Safety, trust & environment

Our home is designed with our furry companions in mind. Toby and guests have full access, especially cozy spots on the couch and bed. The thoughtful layout, with distinct rooms, facilitates separate feeding times and private retreats when needed. A large assortment of toys encourages play, and fresh water and treats are always within reach. Toby especially enjoys sunny afternoons on the patio and invigorating games of fetch in our secure, fully fenced yard, with plenty of room for lounging and play. Toby is a sweet, excellently socialized and confident pup. He is used to canine and human guests, and shares his space, toys and food willingly. If your baby loves to play, Toby will keep them occupied for hours.

Chelsea was great with our puppy! She communicated consistently given me peace of mind at all times. We are going to work with her again consistently 💕

Chelsea was great! Her home was so lovely & yard was perfect for Austin. Chelsea’s pup, Toby, was excited to have Austin over too and they got along great. She provided me with regularly updates so I knew he was in good hands. Chelsea was also super patient and understanding with Austin’s needs. Highly recommend :)

Chelsea is a great sitter and I will be using her again. Her companion, Toby is also a wonderful little pup who helped calm my pups down. I don't know if you can call a dog a professional, but I can say that about Chelsea. She took our girls on nice long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure we knew they were well taken care of.

Chelsea was great! She was communicative and flexible on time. Came early so I can give her the run down on our boy and was attentive to detail. We felt super comfortable leaving for the day thanks to her care.
