“MinJun and Mi Ran took great care of Lava during his stay. He can be a fussy eater sometimes, and they were very patient with him, trying different options and making sure that he didn’t go hungry. They took him out on walks and kept me updated with photos and videos! They even took him out for a drive and arranged a play date too! He came back home very happy!”
“Olga, Igor and family took great care of our young-at-heart doggie! It was our first time using Rover and Olga was exceptionally kind, responsive and caring. Our doggie was made an immediate member of their family and ran off to play with their dog, Fox without a backward glance. They sent photos and updates. We really appreciated the extra touches too like putting an air tag on our doggie’s collar. We highly recommend Olga and Igor!! Thank you!!!”
“Tracy and her husband were gentle and caring with Princess, ensuring that she felt welcome, safe, and comfortable in their home. They provided regular updates on meals and potty breaks, including pictures and the occasional silly video. Thank you for opening up your home, I will use you in the future”
“Benedict & Christina were really wonderful to have watch my little senior dog. When Benedict did the meet & greet, he was inquisitive about how to best care for Jean Luc, his routine & habits, etc. They sent great photos and updates, and were always quick to respond. Highly recommend & look forward to my next booking with them!”
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“Donna and Ralph took Bagheera right into their hearts. Their photos showed him snuggling and at home in their comfortable house. Our communication was excellent. I hope he can visit with them again and again!”
About: **Experienced Dog Lover & Safe Haven for Your Furry Family** Dogs have been central to my life - I’ve cared for 6 beloved companions over the years, mostly rescues from shelters and the streets, plus one cherished family poodle. My experience spans various breeds including two pit bulls, a border collie, a Romanian raven (street dog), and currently Apollo, our one-year-old smooth collie who’s wonderful with other dogs and actively training. **Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort Come First** Our home features a fully fenced, secure yard designed to keep dogs safe - no escape routes here! Your pup will have doggy door access so they can move freely between house and yard. We maintain an active lifestyle with daily multi-mile walks, regular dog park visits, beach trips, and hiking adventures, but we’re happy to adjust our routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. **Personalized Care & Attention** I limit my care to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives the individual attention they deserve. Having raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including working with rescues who needed extra patience and care, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pet needs gentle encouragement, structured exercise, or just lots of love and attention, they’ll receive personalized care in our home. Your dog won’t just be watched - they’ll be genuinely cared for as part of our family. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine - it IS my routine. My days naturally revolve around my dogs’ needs and well-being. I start each morning with walks and feeding, and throughout the day I’m actively engaged with them whether we’re training, playing in the yard, or just spending quality time together. Evenings often include longer walks or trips to the dog park. Having cared for dogs for years, this rhythm feels completely natural to me. When I’m caring for client dogs, they simply join this established routine that already prioritizes canine happiness and health. As a homemaker, I’m available throughout the day to monitor, interact with, and respond to any needs that arise. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my life - it’s woven into the fabric of how I live. **In My Home:** Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully-fenced yard with doggy door access for indoor/outdoor freedom. I limit care to a maximum of 2 dogs to ensure individual attention and maintain a safe, escape-proof environment. Daily care includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise tailored to your dog’s needs, and plenty of companionship. We’ll follow your pet’s routine while incorporating our active lifestyle of walks, dog parks, and outdoor adventures. Your dog sleeps indoors with access to comfortable spaces throughout the house. I provide regular updates with photos so you know how your pup is doing. Any specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs are carefully followed. My experience with 6 dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, has taught me to read canine body language and respond to different temperaments. **Safety is paramount** - secure fencing, dog-proofed spaces, and constant supervision ensure your pet’s well-being. Your dog will receive experienced, loving care in a safe environment designed with their comfort and security in mind.
