Dianne and Judy were the perfect dog-sitters. Cocoa enjoyed his stay. He was well taken care of, I felt really comfortable leaving him and didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you!❤️

I felt more comfortable and at ease with Dianne and Judy than I do when I leave Monique with my own family!!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a wide range of experience taking care of animals and dogs and are truly animal lovers. I have a nursing background that I implement when caring for any sick or aging pets. Given that we don’t have any pets of our own now, we can give undivided love and attention to your pet while we care for him/her. We have a non-smoking, clean but lived-in apartment. We only board one dog or one family’s pet(s) at a time. We are home 24/7 about 99% of the time.

Information Dianne S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs I need to be aware of. We prefer small to mid-size dogs but will definitely care for large dogs that are well-behaved. Sorry, but we don’t take aggressive or Ill-behaved dogs. It’s worth it to mention again that we can’t accept dogs who bark a lot as we are in an apartment. We enjoy taking dogs for a walk probably as much as they love going for one.:) We require that your dog(s) are up-to-date with their vaccinations including bordatella, distemper, parvo and rabies. We require a Meet and Greet before any new bookings are accepted. This is good for everyone involved. For what it’s worth - we are paid 80 percent of the charges indicated. Rover keeps 20 percent. They also provide pet insurance for every pet booked through their app. See site for details.

A typical day

There are a lot of dogs in my community. If your dog likes other dogs, they will fit right in. If not, we will simply avoid other dogs. We have a cool pet stroller for small dogs that like to be outside but can’t walk far. We also have cushioned steps for little dogs who would like to get up on the couch. We will dote over and protect your dogs like they’re our own.

I grew up with large dogs including several German Shepherds, Irish Setters and a Black Lab that were all friendly and well-behaved. We lived on a small farm with chickens, ducks, geese, horses, dogs, cats,etc. We played in trees, made hay forts in the barn, caught frogs, fireflies and garter snakes, and had lots of fun. Fast forward 50 years and I had another small farm with chickens, turkeys and ducks, besides our beloved cairn terrier dogs. This small farm we had as late as 7 years ago. 🥰 For the past 33 years we have had 3 Cairn Terriers including 2 littermates (shown above). The last littermate who was 16 1/2 years old passed away at the end of June, 2022 which broke our hearts and we are now without a dog.
