“simply put Valerie was amazing. She sent us amazing videos and updates of our pup everyday and was on top of everything. My wife and I were nervous about having our pup be watched by someone else for the first time while we were away and Valerie put your worries to bed. Could not recommend someone more and will 100% be working with Valerie again 12/10!!”

“I wish I could leave more than five stars for these amazing people and love they gave to my senior dog. Not only do they have a beautiful house with a large fenced in yard, but they listened to what he needed and took care of him beautifully. I cannot recommend them more highly to you.”

About: I provide dog boarding and daycare with a focus on safety, structure, and individualized care. With a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science ( Pre-Vet) and certification as an animal technician, I bring professional-level knowledge to everyday pet care. I’m especially experienced with large and high-energy breeds and offer a calm, controlled environment for dogs that may not thrive in traditional daycare settings. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to provide 24/7 availability. Dogs receive consistent supervision, structured routines, and dependable care throughout the day and overnight. After drop off 8am-12 breakfast and outside time. 12pm-3pm inside relax time because it’s the hottest time of the day.3-8pm outside play dinner and bath times for any pick ups. 8pm turn down time. I host a secure yard with multiple areas for safe separation. Indoor space for naps, or hot/bad weather times. Crate time available only if requested or required but not mandatory. Outdoor spaces have natural landscaped and/or turf areas, shaded spaces, and double-gated in some areas. I provide play time with myself or supervised interaction in largest area with my well-socialized large dog and/or other compatible dogs once identified.

“Summer was staying at Penny’s house. I feel very comfortable letting Summer stay with her because her house has a yard and a proper fence. She sent me an update and let Summer sleep on her bed. Summer loves to play with her dog too. Thank you for taking care of our baby boy 🩵”

“Marvin was amazing per usual! I felt so much more at ease having the pups stay with him on this trip. He was super patient and flexible with some flight delays. My little boys are happy to be home - and were obviously well taken care of!”

About: I grew up taking care of pets in my immediate family as well as friends and neighbors pets. I have over 5 years of experience taking care of a different variety of animals. I work part time as well as I take college classes online. I have no problem moving around my schedule to accommodate as best I can. Saturdays I am typically available after 5 pm I have a large fenced in yard and the sweetest mini Aussie that loves company. I also have a rabbit that is dog/cat friendly but is in his own room and enclosure.

“He had a dog friendly home and took care of our old lab for 4 days. She came home happy. He sent us text updates, which was reassuring. Will definitely book with Kyle again.”

“This was my first time leaving my blind, senior dog with a dog sitter in 16 years. I was pretty anxious at first, but the constant communication and updates every day made my anxiety go away. Really great dog sitter, followed all the instructions, has a nice grass lawn for walks and potty time. The drop off and pick up is super easy and smooth. Replies almost instantly. Definitely will leave my doggo with her again during my travels. Thank you!!”

“i was hesitant to leave my puppy while we went away, but the minute I met Soraya, I knew she'd take great care of him and he would be in loving hands. Her warm disposition and positivity, drew my fur baby and both her and her two dogs were very welcoming. From all the photos and videos that Soraya sent while I was away, I could see how comfortable my pup was and I was at ease. I would definetely recommend her to everyone, and will be sending my puppy back whenever we have to go away. :)”

Chani W.

“Marcos was the best! He took great care of our dog Oreo while we were away. He sent us pictures and updates during his stay. Our Oreo is high energy and Marcos was more than capable of handling him, we were impressed! We could tell Oreo loved Marcos, and we felt at ease the whole time we were away.”

“We left our 4-month-old puppy with Gabriella for the first time, and it was such a great experience. From the meet-and-greet, I immediately felt a connection — she was very kind, respectful, and friendly. Gabriella kept us updated multiple times a day with honest reports about how our puppy was doing. Managing a very energetic puppy isn’t easy, but she handled everything with care and patience. She also sent us videos and pictures, which really helped us feel relaxed and confident that our dog was in good hands. Our puppy was clearly very happy with Gabriella, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend her as a sitter — she truly cares! Thank you so much,Gabriella.”

“Bowie had such a fantastic time with Deidre! When we picked him up he looked so happy like he just went on a wonderful vacation himself!! We are so grateful to have founds someone as kind, caring, and responsive as Deidre to watch Bowie. She’ll be our first choice to watch him next time we go on vacation!”

“Luz was taking care of our two small dogs for 5 days. We were getting multiple daily updates with pictures. The pups were happy and relaxed. They came home and acted like they did not notice any change. We used to left them in vets office where they were caged for the most part, so it was always adjustment to come from there. With Luz they were allowed to be around the house free. Still had their cage for feeling secure. Just like at home. We loved the experience and we would recommend Luz's house for any pet owner. We will be using her service in the future. Thank you.”
