A Loving Home With a Private Yard🌷

I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up surrounded by them. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy building trust and spending quality time with each dog. I focus on understanding their routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Leaving Dexter is never easy for me, especially since he’s an older boy with some mobility sensitivities, but they took such thoughtful, loving care of him the entire stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and detailed messages that I appreciated so much! It was so clear how much attention and affection Dexter was getting. They paid close attention to his needs, made sure he was comfortable, monitored him carefully during walks and playtime, and adjusted activities when he got tired. I especially appreciated how proactive and communicative they were about everything, even small things. Dexter absolutely loved spending time with the family, the kids, and exploring outdoors, and I could tell he felt safe and comfortable there. They treated him like one of their own. I truly could not have asked for a more caring, attentive, and compassionate sitter. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful to care for their pup.

James and his family were absolutely wonderful with Azul. This was my first time boarding my dog, so I was naturally a little nervous, but they made the entire experience feel easy, warm, and reassuring from start to finish. They were incredibly responsive, sent lots of thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay, and truly treated Azul like part of their family. It was so clear how much care and attention they gave him — from walks and movie nights with the kids to making sure he felt comfortable and loved. I honestly could not have asked for a better first boarding experience. I would absolutely book with them again in the future, if they’ll have us! Highly recommend.

James was a thorough, kind and responsible pet sitter for our dog Perry! He gave me updates throughout the day and was so kind to us when we needed a few extra days of dogsitting. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a caring, compassionate and loving dog sitter!

James & his family were great! They gave Austin lots of attention & took him on walks, to the park & even the beach. He was super patient with Austin’s leash reactivity which I greatly appreciated. I knew Austin was in good hands while I was away.

James is an excellent pet owner. He has had pets, cats, dogs, birds and hamsters all his life. He is caring and responsible with his pets. I have complete confidence in James when he cares for my Babies.

We had a good experience with Jim and his family. They were kind, dependable, and clearly cared about our dog. Communication was easy, and we appreciated the updates while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and we’d be comfortable booking with them again.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. I work from home at times, and my wife also works from home, which allows us to be present throughout the day. This means plenty of supervision, regular walks, backyard playtime, meals on schedule, and lots of attention and companionship.
