ON BASE & Always home! Fenced yard!

Located on Post — can meet at the Visitor Center for easy pick-up/drop-off Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, and I truly believe the more, the merrier. I’m home full-time, which means your pet will get constant supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime—no long hours spent alone. I know firsthand how important trust is when leaving your dog with someone. Years ago, a sitter lost my own dog for 24 days, and that experience shaped the way I care for pets now: with extreme caution, reliability, and communication. Your pet’s safety will always be my top priority. We have a fully fenced backyard where we spend tons of time every day. Your dog will enjoy lots of outdoor play, toys, and space to roam freely. Inside, they’ll be surrounded by a warm, loving family environment. Our older Pomeranian stays to herself but my husband and children also help give every pet extra love and attention—there’s always someone ready for snuggles or play. I love taking pictures, so you’ll get plenty of photo updates throughout your dog’s stay! If we need to coordinate off-post pick-up or drop-off, my husband may occasionally assist, but I always communicate ahead of time so everything is clear and smooth. I’m home 24/7, and whether we’re relaxing inside or playing in the yard, your dog will be cared for like part of our family. We can’t wait to love on your pup while you’re away!

Another great repeat visit for Toby and Maddy who got lots of playtime and cuddles with the full family. It’s always fun to see the steady flow of pics and videos - as it gives us peace of mind while on vacation that both dogs are doing great. Thanks again! Until next time.

This is the third time Chelsea takes care of my baby. Because she wasn’t going to be able to care for her the entire time, she recommended another sitter for the rest of the booking, which was also awesome, and they both coordinated to deliver Pepper to the next home. She takes great pictures and sends updates every day. The entire family was very loving with Pepper and Pepper just loves and enjoys staying with them.

Chelsea-Jo & Austin were amazing hosts for Bodhi while he stayed with them for over a week. They provided multiple updates daily that included pictures that let us know how he was doing and it was clear he was having a great time and very happy! Their communication leading up to the booking was prompt and it was clear they really wanted to provide a comfortable stay for our boy. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Bodhi while we were gone. We look forward to him staying with you in the future!

They are the best with our dog. Lots of pictures and great communication. Our dog is always happy when we drop them off and when we pick him up.

I like to know if the dog is good with children, other dogs, cats, and potty trained. Any allergies? Do you have base access? (We can meet if not) Just so I know ahead of time how to make their stay here the best for all of us. *other dogs may be present, if that is not okay confirm ahead of time. * must be on flea medicine
