Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover and companion

I was raised with dogs from the moment I was born, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than caring for and spending time with them. From my parents' dogs that I took through obedience schools and competitions to watching dogs for various friends and family members throughout the years, aged puppy to senior, and eventually adopting my own dog. Now that my partner and I work from home and have less demanding schedules, we are excited to be able to offer pet sitting services and bring more doggie time into our lives.

Jennifer was such an amazing dog sitter! She watched our two dogs for a long weekend, despite one of them still healing from a mass removal on his side. She took great care of him and his wound looked so healed when we picked them up! Our dogs clearly loved her and her boyfriend, and she sent us lots of great photos of the dogs snuggled up with them on the couch.

Jennifer & Donald were wonderful! They took care of our pit bull kodak while we were away and he came back super happy. They have a great yard that he LOVED and spent time playing with him. Also received updates and pics! Will definitely book again

Jennifer and Donald took great care of Arthur. They updated us regularly with photos, and Arthur seemed to really settle in and enjoy his time away. I will absolute use Jennifer and Donald again in the future

It was our first time ever having our dogs stay at someone’s home vs going to a boarding facility. Jennifer and Donald were awesome with our 2 Weimaraners, who can be demanding and a handful. We got photos and sometimes videos on a daily basis, which helped put our minds at ease during our vacation over Thanksgiving. We could see that our dogs were getting great walks, being properly fed and in a loving environment. Jennifer and Donald were also very accommodating when our drop off time had to move up an hour early in the morning. All in all, we highly recommend them.

Safety, trust & environment

A typical day

Go for walks and to the numerous nearby parks in the neighborhood; play with their favorite toys; snuggle up for some down time on the couch
