Loving One on One Care

We are a pet loving couple established in 1989. In addition to raising our 2 children (who are now adults with their own pets and homes), our home and family has always been made complete by our fur babies. Over the years we have had both dogs and cats who have lived out their lives as nurtured members of our family. We only take one client at a time & will care for your fur babies as if they are our own. We love to go for long walks, play chase, catch or whatever your pets enjoy. We'll be your pets new favorite friend. You can rest assured that your pets will be safe, loved and cared for while you are away!

Once again Boomer had a great time with Dawn & Steven. They were kind enough to give him a brushing which made him look great and I'm sure he felt great. House was clean and cared for, as always.

Dawn and Steven took amazing care of my dog, Boomer, while staying in my home for five nights. They followed all of his routines, kept me updated throughout their stay, and gave him plenty of love and attention. I could tell they truly cared about his comfort and happiness. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a spotless house. Their reliability and communication made the whole experience stress‑free. I highly recommend Dawn and Steven to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters on Rover. Boomer will be excited to see them again.

Dawn and Steve did a fantastic job taking care of our boys! They were flexible when our plans slightly changed at the last min, they provided updates with photos without any prompting, they communicated quickly — we felt very comfortable knowing Cash and Fozzie were in their care and look forward to have them back again!

Five stars for Dawn and Steve! They were both so incredibly patient, attentive and compassionate with me and my dog, Bodhi. They provided great communication, plenty of pictures and general updates while I was away and reached out when he started experiencing some tummy issues to find out what I wanted them to do for him. It was great that they were prepared with their own suggestions but were also very respectful and supportive of what I thought might help until I could return home. I knew Bodhi was in caring, capable hands all weekend which allowed me to really enjoy the time away, celebrating my friends. Words cannot express how much I appreciate that I was able to be fully present for such a special event.

Pets

A typical day

We are early risers so, based on your pet's schedule & preferences they may receive a morning, mid day and evening walk in addition to any potty breaks they may need. I work remotely and take breaks throughout the day so we can both get some exercise and fresh air. We love to provide lots of walks (according to your pets needs and preference). Its also fun to play catch, fetch and door floor time where we stretch and play at their level. They will be fed based on your schedule at home.
