Where pups play, nap, get spoiled

Welcome to Your Pup's Second Home Hi there! I’m Gunja, and I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home. Here, every pup gets the love, attention, and care they truly deserve because I know how hard it is to leave your baby in someone else’s hands. We have a large, private half-acre backyard that’s perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff around, and just be dogs. Whether your pup is a sprinter or a sniffer, there’s plenty of room to explore, play, and get some fresh air. It’s a safe, enclosed space where they can roam freely while I keep a close eye on them. One of the biggest things that sets my care apart. I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t spend long hours alone or in a crate waiting for someone to come check in. They’ll have my full, undivided attention from morning to night. Think of it as a vacation for your pup, with a devoted human who’s always around to play, cuddle, or just sit together. Medication & Special Needs: I’m fully comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, and following specific care routines. If your dog has dietary restrictions, health conditions, or a particular schedule they thrive on, I’ll follow it to the letter. Every dog is different, and I take those differences seriously. I also have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. Older pups need a little extra patience, and gentleness. Slow walks, cozy resting spots, careful monitoring is top priority here. Your senior baby is in good hands here. Our sweet Maltese, Milo, is the friendliest little guy you’ll ever meet. He loves playing with other dogs and has a way of making every new visitor feel right at home almost instantly. What You Can Expect • 📸 Regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing • Consistent feeding and routine based on your schedule, not mine • A calm, quiet home environment. No chaos, no stress • Lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and genuine affection • Open communication with you throughout the entire stay 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I truly believe that dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family. Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a longer visit, your pup will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them!

We had an excellent experience with Gunja! She took exceptional care of our dogs, even though our booking was a last-minute request. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process easy and stress-free. One of our dogs is a recent rescue and is extremely skittish around new people, but she was so patient and gentle that he quickly became comfortable with her. Our other dog is a picky eater, and she went the extra mile to make sure he ate well. We really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave to each dog's individual needs. Her entire family was also so kind and welcoming. They gave our dogs plenty of affection and companionship, making them feel right at home. She kept us updated throughout their stay with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter!

Gunja is a fantastic and genuinely caring sitter! My fur baby, Louie, came home so happy. He had a wonderful time playing with her dog, Milo. Gunja also shared daily videos and pictures of Louie, which gave us great peace of mind. We are so happy with the care she provided and will definitely book with her again!

What can I say. Everything came off without a hitch. Our two dogs weren't just taken care of, but, pampered as if they were hers. Gunja kept us updated on them, their indoctrination to her house, and their activities. Ganja is a keeper and has a new recurring client.

Informative and provided lots of updates, photos, and videos. Appreciate the attempts at soothing the dog through some challenges with the stay as well. At times, we felt a bit guilted by some of the comments shared and would've appreciated less negative experiences shared with us as the owners because we were making a trip for medical reasons involving our family. Overall, Cooper was safe and the situation with multiple dogs and family in from out of town at their home added to some of the sitter's stress which we felt was shared with us too often while we were away. They are definitely good people, and I believe my experience to be more a circumstantial result combined with issues related to caring for my dog as a puppy, hence I think a prospective customer shouldn't have hesitations about choosing them for their dog's care. We thank them for their sacrifices, even multiple times willing to sleep next to him while he was anxious.

Being a stay-at-home-dog mom helps so much. Being able to spend all my time with my little pup is so fulfilling. I have all my time to devote to your little furry child and keep them happy and safe while they're away from home and their warmth.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a pretty comfortable house with no restrictions for your pup. There is a massive backyard that they can have a great time getting their exercise or simply getting their tan on. Of course, they will get their regular walks and any enrichment activity they'd get at home. Milo (our pup) and I, are homebodies for the most part. We're always home to give 100% of our time and care to your pup

A typical day

A Day in Our Care 🌿 No two pups are the same, so we tailor the day to whatever your dog loves most! Here’s a glimpse of what a typical day looks like: Outdoor Time Our half-acre backyard is basically a dog’s dream. We love a good game of fetch, zoomie sessions, and letting pups sniff and explore to their heart’s content. For more energetic dogs, we’ll have structured play sessions throughout the day to burn off that energy in the best way. Enrichment & Mental Stimulation Physical play is great, but a tired brain is just as important! We incorporate simple enrichment activities like sniff games, treat puzzles, and hide-and-seek to keep minds sharp and engaged. Milo’s Playdate Hours 🐶 Our Maltese Milo is always up for a play session — whether that’s chasing each other around the yard or a gentle tuggy indoors. For dogs who love canine companionship, he’s the perfect little host. Rest & Recharge After all that fun, cozy nap time is a must. We have comfy spots around the house where pups can wind down and recharge. Slow & Scenic Walks Depending on your dog’s energy level and comfort, we also enjoy leisurely neighborhood strolls. For senior pups or those who prefer a slower pace, we keep it gentle and relaxed. Indoor Cuddle Time Rainy day? No problem. We’re big fans of indoor snuggle sessions, gentle brushing, and just quiet company. Some dogs just want to be with you, and we are absolutely here for that.
