Pet care experience

Your dogs are part of our family! ❤

Hi! We’re Sarah and John, a mother-and-son team with years of experience caring for dogs through dog sitting, walking, and providing loving, attentive care. We understand that your pets are an important part of your family, and we’re committed to providing the same kind of love, attention, and care we would give our own. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable home environment where your dog can feel relaxed and right at home while you’re away. We’ve been around animals for as long as we can remember and have always been involved in their daily care, routines, exercise, and training. Over the years, we’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior and the fact that every dog has their own personality and needs. We take the time to get to know each dog and adjust our care accordingly — whether they need playtime, exercise, rest, reassurance, or simply some extra companionship. We genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and naturally form a special bond with each one in our care. Depending on your dog’s needs, we provide: 🐕 Dog sitting and overnight stays 🚶‍♀️ Walks and exercise 🍽️ Feeding according to your dog’s normal routine 🧸 Playtime and enrichment ❤️ Plenty of attention, affection, and companionship 🏡 A calm, comfortable, home-like environment Our goal is to make your dog feel like part of our family while they’re with us. We’ll follow your instructions and routines as closely as possible so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away. We’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! ❤️

Quick stay, but the pups settled in right away and I could see from the pics they were spoiled the entire time.

John is great to work with. John has been so reliable and he has gone above and beyond to help me with my dog. My dog always gets so excited to see him.

John was great with my puppy! Pick up and drop off were easy and Rue was tuckered out when she got home.

John was great with Pepper! She didn't want to leave! He kept me updated with pictures and was very understanding when it took me a little longer to pick up due to my car not starting at the airport on my return. I will absolutely be a repeat customer.

I had a long trip and Zuko stayed for several days with John. He was great, took good care of Zuko and communicated daily with us. I recommend his services.

Contact me 📲: please reach out for any sort of need relating to what your dog may need. Please feel open to scheduling a meet and greet or time to talk about getting your dogs proper care. Someone is always home and able to care for your dogs. I have a big backyard and an extremely friendly blue heeler that loves to play. I am able to offer many different types of care for your dog such as treatments, training, or medical care.

Pets

A typical day

My home has a fully fenced yard, and dogs are always supervised while outside. I can see most of the backyard from my living room, allowing me to keep a close eye on them at all times. I prioritize safety, comfort, and structure so your dogs feel secure throughout their stay. With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m able to read their body language and energy levels to respond appropriately to their needs—whether that means playtime, rest, or reassurance. Your dogs will be treated with the same attentiveness and care as my own.
