About: My husband & I have been raised with pets our entire lives. We are proud to say that we’re experienced, detail oriented, and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We focus on quality attentive care, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. We are perfect for babies with separation anxiety as we are home 24/7. Your fur baby will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP priorities when staying with us. We promise 😊 We are generally flexible with drop off & pick up time. We believe communication and mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. We also offer hourly daycare at $25/hour. Simply request a booking and we’ll make credit adjustments accordingly. 😊 Our yard is securely fenced, with ample green lawn and play area, so there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for fully supervised playtime to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention (great for senior pups). We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cats, rabbits and hamsters who do not wish to interact with dogs as we do have the sweetest senior rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time😁. Given that said, your babies must be human friendly.😅


8. Tej R.
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things bulldog, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your bulldog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.

“Elizabeth has been a godsend in caring for our dog when we have had to travel. Liz is so well organized and reliable, I am always impressed with the level of thought and care she shows in dog sitting. She is just amazing with dogs, and our little guy has thrived when he is in Liz’s care. I fully recommend her without any hesitation.”

“Cassandra is fantastic and our boys love her!”


11. Francesca S.
“I can’t recommend Francesca highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. Our dog, Cali is usually shy around new people, not an issue with Francesca, they bonded right away. Cali wasn’t just well taken care of, she was genuinely happy, which we could see from the daily updates, photos, and videos Francesca sent. Francesca truly goes above and beyond, treating every pet like her own. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Knowing Cali was in such capable and loving hands gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She also takes care of and rides horses, so you know she's excellent with all pet sensibilities and can handle dogs no matter where they are on the aggression spectrum.”

15. Mary L.
“Mary truly understands dogs—not just as pets, but as individual beings with their own personalities and quirks. She took the time to connect with our dog, honoring his unique character and needs. I know that Mary has worked with every temperament you can imagine—from shy and sensitive to bold and high-energy—and she handles each with patience, love, and incredible care. She’s fun-loving and playful, but also remarkably in tune with each dog’s energy.As dog owners, we also felt so supported. Her communication is top-notch—she always kept us in the loop, was responsive to any specific instructions or concerns, and made sure we felt completely at ease while away. Our pup clearly adored her, and so did we. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

20. Christopher A.
“Christopher A. Cares for Pets in such a special way. It is obvious that he has a special love for animals by the way he approaches them & and handles them when they are with him. He understands the nature of animals by his experience with them and his self taught training. He is gentle yet firm, he is in control yet respectful of them. And he has a genuine love for animals that they sense thus making the relationship between them and him exceptionally compatible. I would highly recommend Christopher as a dog walker & sitter to anyone who is looking for someone who wants the very best care for their loved Pet! It was my good fortune to come across Christopher and I will continue to use him over and over again. Martha H. – – owner of a Golden Lab”
