I work from home every day of the week, so I am readily available for all of the dogs’ needs! I can feed and take them out on the same schedule that they have at home to make their stay as comfortable as possible.

Pet care experience
J & D’s Pawadise 🐶 🏡 Where your pup’s vacation dreams come true (with extra treats on top!) Welcome to J & D’s Pawadise, where belly rubs are endless, naps are legendary, and every guest is treated like top dog! We’re Jerrilyn and David — two dog-adoring attorneys and proud pawrents to three furry weirdos: Mocha (the queen of zoomies), Nemo (the cuddle king), and Osa (the treat thief). When we’re not in court winning cases, we’re home winning hearts — especially the four-legged, tail-wagging kind. David works from home full-time, so your pup gets 24/7 attention, love, and way too many nicknames. Their schedule is the schedule. We’re just here to serve. By day, your pup has full reign of our apartment — perfect for snoozing on the couch, chasing squeaky toys, or playing a thrilling game of “Follow David Everywhere.” Once the laptop closes, it’s time for long walks, playtime at the dog run, and possibly an impromptu dance party (pups encouraged to join). And if you’re cool with it, we go full-on vacation mode: pup cups, homemade treats, snuggles on demand, and lots of “who’s a good boy/girl?!” — because honestly, they deserve it. Think of us as your dog’s favorite aunt and uncle — the ones who spoil them silly, send you cute photo updates, and return them to you happy, tired, and possibly a little extra floofy. Your pup’s about to live their best life — and don’t worry, calories don’t count when they’re on vacation.
Reviews
David always takes great care of Sundae and provides plenty of photos and updates. Sundae always has a great time and enjoys playing with her friends Nemo, Mocha, and Osa.
Special thanks to David and Jerrilyn for being flexible with our plans and watching Kevin for us during a busy time in their own lives. We appreciate you guys!
David took amazing care of my 8 month old puppy Cosy! I was out of state when organizing his daycare sitter service and he made me feel so assured and calm throughout the entire process. He gave me constant updates and was incredibly responsive and friendly! Can’t recommend him enough!
David always takes great care of Sundae. He provides plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay and I always know that she is in great hands. Sundae loves playing with Osa, Nemo and Mocha.
