Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover!

I don't have a dog of my own, but I've cared for the dogs of friends and neighbors since I was a kid and will readily treat your dog like my own anytime you're planning a trip or need a helping hand. I have a pretty big, conveniently located space and am close to nearby parks and outdoor areas where your dog can play safely and comfortably until you return! Happy to take care of all breeds, all sizes and all temperaments. I will also be sure to be attentive to any special needs and/or specific care, as well as reliable and easy-to-reach in case of any incidents. I've never had a bad dog sitting experience and I look forward to to meeting your furry friend!

TJ was great! We were thankful to have him watching the boy while we spent the night out. Will definitely use his services again!

My pup was well cared for during his stay, and TJ ensured he was safe, loved and comfortable. There was some initial miscommunication regarding pickup coordination, but everything was ultimately resolved. I appreciate the care and help provided.
