Dog loving home w/large fenced yard

I have a love for animals in particular dogs. I have had big and small dogs all of my life. I have a big home with a large fenced yard and lots of play spaces for dogs who prefer privacy. All dogs sleep inside where I have baby gates and lots of fun areas . I have experience with nervousness and shelter dogs. All first time clients receive a free doggy bandana and all of the proceeds from your tips go to the “Race for Autism 2026”.

Raquel and her family were fantastic with my fur kids. I received pictures of the fur kids every single day for two while I was on vacation. I honestly believe my dogs wanted to stay with her family once I got back. I will definitely rebook with her.

My dog was very well taken care of and came back with a smile on her face and a gift! I appreciated the daily reports of her day that came with pictures. Very likely to return next time I need a dog sitter, and will recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.

Raquel and her family took such great care of Carmelo over the weekend for us 😊 We received updates and pictures and even a report card when we picked him up! We will absolutely be bringing Carmelo back to stay at Raquel's again!

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Boris for the whole week. When I picked him up, he looked even better than when I dropped him off. It honestly felt like he had been on vacation! Thank you as well for all the beautiful photos—you truly made my day. We will definitely be back again ☺️

Raquel and her family were amazing. They were very kind and helpful before and during the stay. It was no surprise my dog Merlin had such a good time. I’m so glad I was able to find a sitter I can trust with my pup and plan to bring him back knowing he’ll be in good hands when I can’t watch him.

Raquel is so attentive to our dogs and always sends us updates. This time we were running a few hours late bc of travel and she was understanding. We love sending our dogs to stay here
