Kelly & Rima V. have Star Sitter status

It's all about the dog.

Pet care experience

Please message us to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know your pet/pets and see if they will be a good fit. **please take note that we have quiet hours between 8pm and 6am, and we will respond after we are up and starting our day.** The meet and greets are done in our backyard and includes our pugs. We typically accept small and medium dogs up to around 30 lbs. We will accept older large breeds that are low energy. We have 45 years experience in long term animal and dog care. Rima grew up on a farm, took several years of agriculture in high school, was a member of the FFA for 4 years and her family raised and bred German Shepherds so she learned some great animal management skills. We are currently a volunteer foster family for pugs that come through Pacific Pug Rescue, so our dogs are used to having guests in our home all the time. We have fostered special needs dogs that range in age from 1 to 14 years old, including dogs with medical, allergies, behavioral issues, and physical disabilities. All our dogs are on a daily routine so they know when their potty time is and their feeding schedule. We have a large fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. Our goal is to allow people to go on vacation knowing their dogs are in good hands. All dogs are treated equally as if they were our own. Know that your fur babies are in great hands.

I needed an urgent sitter as my son and I were both called into work. I usually am very cautious with who I have watch my pup. This time I was under the wire and wasn't able to really research. I took a leap and selected Rima to watch my pup. She had great friendly open communication from the get go. She took in my little girl with open arms. I got an adorable picture update of what she was doing. Her knowledge about dogs and compassion for pets was above and beyond. Great day care sitter! I highly recommend!

Always great, compassionate care for my Boston Terriers. It makes it easier to leave town when I know I'm having fun and they will, too! Thank you!

I always feel very comfortable boarding my pup with Kelly and Rima. They absolutely know what they’re doing with dogs and their specific quirks. Plus the pictures they send are quality!

If you don't let your dog sleep in your bed, we won't either. Is your dog crate trained? It is preferred, but not required.
