Caring Husband-and-Wife Team

Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed.

I’ve known Shirley and Anthony for several years, and they are kind, dependable, and genuinely care for animals. They provide a safe, welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. Their home has a large, fenced yard for play and exercise, and they spend quality time with the dogs—whether that’s a game of fetch, a walk, or simply relaxing together. Their own dogs are friendly and well-socialized, which helps visiting dogs feel at ease. Shirley and Anthony are trustworthy and attentive, and anyone leaving a pet in their care can be confident their dog will be treated with warmth and respect.

Shirley and Anthony are the kind of people dogs instantly love—and honestly, same. I’m pretty picky about who I trust with my four-legged shadows, but these two made it easy. Their place is basically a doggy retreat: clean, comfy, and full of good vibes (and probably treats). Whether your pups want to run around, snuggle, or just lounge in peace, they’ve got it covered. They treat dogs like family—maybe even better, depending on the family. Total pros, total sweethearts, and absolutely the kind of people you want caring for your furry weirdos while you're away. 10/10 would trust again.

To Fellow Pet Owners, If you are seeking exceptional, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitters, I wholeheartedly recommend this couple. I have had the pleasure of knowing them for many years and can confidently attest to their dedication and expertise in caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Their approach to pet care is both professional and heartfelt—they treat every dog as a cherished member of their family. Whether engaging in playful activities, enjoying peaceful moments in their spacious, fenced yard, or simply offering comforting companionship, they create a warm and secure environment where dogs feel truly at home. Their attentiveness to each dog’s unique personality and needs is extraordinary, and their commitment to safety and happiness is unwavering. Reliable, nurturing, and intuitive, they possess a natural ability to connect with animals. If my dog could speak, I am certain he would offer his enthusiastic approval. Choosing them will undoubtedly bring peace of mind and joy to both you and your beloved pet. Warm regards, Jen

Safety, trust & environment

We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs staying with us are in for a treat—literally and figuratively! Our large, fenced-in backyard is a haven for outdoor fun. Pups love playing tug-of-war, chasing after tennis balls, or running freely in the open space. For dogs who enjoy the simpler things, there’s plenty of time to sunbathe, sniff around, and watch squirrels and chipmunks dart by. Some dogs even seem to pause and listen as birds sing in the trees. Whether it’s active play or quiet exploration, we make sure each dog’s day is filled with joy, stimulation, and plenty of tail wags.
