Sputnik received wonderful care and attention from Dickson & Maria! Sputnik is 11 pounds and their dog and the other guest dog were much bigger but Dickson & Maria took extra care when introducing them to each other so that there was no doggy drama. I would be happy to use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Thank you so much for taking great care of Lakelyn! We loved the photos and videos updates. After one meet & greet with Maria & Dickson (and Una, of course!) we felt confident that Lakelyn would have a great time and be comfortable with a loving family.

Dickson and Maria were amazing! We left our little Frenchie with them for 3 nights. Their German Shepherd was so sweet and playful with her. They learned our dog’s preferences and quirks in no time and accommodated her so well. They were flexible on pick-up and drop-off times and sent photos and videos throughout our whole trip. Our pup had a wonderful time and I had peace of mind. Thank you so much! Highly recommend these guys!

Dickson and Maria really catered to Cookie knowing she might not take to their shephard. In the end, both dogs did great and I was relieved at the photos they sent. Would definitely book with them again.

Dickson and Maria took wonderful care of our 16 year old beagle mix. We received daily updates with pictures/videos. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was getting plenty of time and attention, and excellent care. It’s difficult to leave a senior dog, but Dickson and Maria did wonderful, I had no worries at all!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and I super friendly white German Shepherd. She will make sure that our guess is well entertained. I walked my dog every day on a local park. But even if your dog needs a nice calm stay I have a dog fence in the house to make sure he or she gets his own private place. Went we are not in the house my dog goes to a crate. I have another big crate that I used for any dog so they will have plenty of room. But when we are in the house the back door is open and they will have access to the fence backyard at all times. I’m always outside so they will been watching constantly
