Pet care experience

Meet Your Sitters Hi, we’re Clarissa, Yasiel and Geikel. We are proud parents to Bacon & Frankie. Our pets are family, and that’s exactly how we’ll treat yours. What We Offer Every pup has their own vibe—whether they’re zoomies champions, cuddle pros, or nap enthusiasts. We’ll match their energy and routines to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. To give you peace of mind, we send two daily photo updates so you can see your pet settling in, eating well, and feeling comfortable. Check out our reviews and peek at our IG page for a glimpse of the fun! Drop-Off & Rates Please confirm drop-off and pick-up times when booking. Extended stays may include additional fees, and we also offer convenient pick-up & drop-off services. • 24/7 supervision (puppies & seniors): $125/day We’d love to welcome your furry friend into our pack and give them the comfort, care, and playtime they deserve.

Ricco and his family are amazing! Skye is always nervous when we pack, but as soon as we get to his house she perks up and runs right in. She always comes home happy and relaxed. I highly recommend him!

Such fantastic sitters! We received SO many photos while we were away for 9 days and they were quick to communicate any concerns with behavior or eating habits so we could provide feedback. It was clear our girls were so well taken care of and they were so calm and relaxed when we returned home. They also took such good care of our home and left it so clean, even doing a load of wash which was above and beyond. Will definitely book again!
