Pet care experience

Home full-time, 24/7 care

My dogs are free to roam around the house, and go out to my garden. We go out for walks, play with toys, go to the dog park and enjoy our sunny garden. I’m home all day so the dogs are well supervised. Please don't hesitate to come and visit my place with your doggie. Your dog will tell you right away if they feel safe and happy. My profession as a teacher helped me transfer the skills of nurturing , challenging, and disciplining my students to my furry friends. We have a regular routine every morning and they love it. I'm able to understand their needs and therefore communicate well with them. Unfixed dogs, unless they are seniors are not accepted. We all sleep in the same room. No one is crated, if you do wish to crate your dog, then you’ll need to bring over their crate. I have a fully fenced backyard Big wooden balcony and a good size yard to have dogs play all day. Come and visit with your dog.

There's a reason Esther is a top-rated sitter on this site. This was Hank's second stay with her, and he's got a big ol' smile and no energy left. He knew where he was before he even got out of that. He spent the weekend playing in the pool and with other dogs. Her house is well-equipped, and she is wonderful with her furry guests. She sends you updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, a phenomenal experience for Hank and me.

Esther is incredibly professional and thoughtful. Her home is set up with dogs’ needs in mind — everything from the layout to the safety and comfort is clearly designed with care. She’s also amazing at managing multiple dogs at once; Walnut was able to get along peacefully with the others under her calm, confident guidance. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommended!

I can’t thank Esther enough for the wonderful care she gave my dog, Loulou. From the moment she arrived, Esther was so kind, patient, and attentive. She kept me updated throughout the evening with thoughtful messages, which gave me such peace of mind knowing Loulou was in safe and loving hands. Loulou can be very attached to me, and Esther handled her emotions so gently—taking her out for a walk to redirect her energy and helping her settle comfortably back at home. I truly felt like she treated Loulou as if she were her own. I would highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. She made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Loulou again. ❤️

This was our first time leaving our small dog with anyone overnight . Sarah was very reassuring , sent pics and videos while we were away . Our dog adjusted to her right away . She was sensitive to our dog’s needs. We were very pleased. I highly recommend Esther. I am so relieved that I found someone nearby that I will be extremely comfortable to leave my dog with . Thank you Esther !

Esther was amazing. My dog, Hank, is twelve years old, and he was extremely happy at the end of his stay. Her whole house is equipped for dogs. She regularly sends updates with pictures and videos. I will definitely use her services again.

The more information I have about your dog, the more I’ll know if my place is suitable for their needs. Dogs that are high energy and have difficulty regulating themselves, will not be a good match for my place.
