“My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Mary & Marty we cannot thank you enough for taking care of Luna during the week that I was traveling. Your attentiveness, kindness, and open communication was truly appreciated. We don't typically leave Luna with anyone but it so wonderful to know that you both are pet lovers and treated her just like your own. Thanks again for all of the photos while I was away. It truly put me at ease knowing that Luna was in your care! You guys are the best!”


“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”

“Recently our puppy stayed with Jordan while we were away for a week. During that time daily updates were given with photos. It was apparent that she really cares for all pets. Great interaction, great communication. Highly recommend.”


“CoCo had a wonderful time at Cathy’s! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly passionate about their care. She exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to booking her again.”

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“She was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was gone for work for a week. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and even sent pictures of my sweet girl enjoying herself. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! I will be using her boarding services again in the future :)”

“I was a little leery to leave my dog with a total stranger even though he adjusts very easily. As soon as we met Lilliana I could see that thing's would be ok. Jack adjusted to her and the surrounding's very easily and I felt very confident leaving him with her. I highly recommend her.”


“Nancy was amazing and very accommodating. We took Axel for a meet and greet and when we went back for his overnight stay he was clearly excited to be there and ran right up to her without looking back at us when we left. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog to stay. We will definitely be using Nancy again in the future. It was a big relief knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away.”

“What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??”
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”

“Flexible, conscientious and kind, Angelique cared for my dog as much as her own pets. She voluntarily provided updates which reduced my worries over leaving my dog for the first time. I will choose her with confidence the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Meredith was just amazing. She handled my crazy dog along with her family and dogs like a champ. My pup seemed to greatly enjoy herself. Along with a happy pup, my dog came home with a few more manners. We will use her in the future for sure. 😊”

“From the start Bernice communicated effectively. She took on a last minute week long boarding. She called me which I appreciated and met up with me for a meet and greet. She flooded my phone with pictures of Ruby daily. Her backyard is like a dog park. There were several other little fur babies that Ruby loved playing with. Many thanks Bernice!”

“Shanie loved our Pepper and took wonderful care of her for us. She sent pictures of our puppet having a great time playing with other dogs. I will always ask Shanie to take care of our sweet girl.”

“Went above and beyond with my fragile old dog! Actually got him to eat, tried a number of things including sitting with him to get him comfortable...amazing.. he typically will not eat at any pet care situation but with this sitter he came home just like I dropped him off…normal. She is so sweet and caring such a good experience for him particularly because he just lost his brother. He also seemed to get on well with her doggy who was very friendly. Obviously, a very gentle and generous dog who shared his home with no difficulty. I can not tell you all the ways in which she supported my dog in this situation and what amazing communication she provided to ease my mind. Several pictures a day with details on his condition both emotional and physical. Do not hesitate to use this wonderful person and true dog whisperer! You will feel instantly comfortable and connected to your fur baby as you travel!”

“April is the best! I bring my dog to her instead of leaving him with family because he loves her house and dogs so much. Great communication and clearly a massive dog lover.”

Otto stayed with Mary for three nights and had a wonderful experience. Mary sent photos every day, which made it clear that Otto was having a great time and had settled in nicely. It gave me real peace of mind to see him so comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Mary and will definitely use her services again.
Andrea and paul were a godsend! I am an over protective pet parent and they both took hazels care as importantly as I do! I received communication while I was gone and pictures of hazel having a great time! I am so grateful that we have found someone as trustworthy as them! We are looking forward to booking again!
