As a retired couple in our sixties with a passion for dogs, we provide a range of services including Doggie Day-Care, Drop-in Visits, Overnight Stays at your home, and dog hosting in our own house. Every dog in our care is treated like family, enjoying frequent walks and unrestricted access throughout our home. Typically, at least one of us is present to keep your “pup” company. We adhere to your specific guidelines to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. You’ll receive nightly photos and daily updates.

At The Dog Sitters, we give devoted attention and affection to each dog individually.
