About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.
“Oil was great with Phoebe ! She sent us some pictures which were greatly appreciated. Phoebe had a wonderful time ! We would definitely consider leaving Phoebe with Oli again.”
“Natalie watched Albie for several days and did a great job! We got frequent updates and photos. She was communicative and responsible throughout. Would highly recommend her. Thanks for letting Albie be Baloo’s temporary big brother!!”
“We could not be more thrilled with April and her care for our Lulu. Everything about our experience with April exceeded my expectations in every way. She is kind, warm, and easy to talk with, while being professional and clear. She sent us tons of photos of Lulu throughout the day and it was clear April treated our Lulu like a member of the family. I could not be more pleased with April’s attention to detail but also just her overall demeanor. I would feel very at peace leaving our Lulu in her care going forward!! She is the best!!!”
“AnnaDee and Julio are exceptional. Their family loves dogs and cats, and I could tell from the first day I met them. They are such a sweet family. My dog is very comfortable with them. They walk my dog and play with her every day. She is being taken care of so well. Thank you so much! I will definitely come back to them.”
“Dodi has done an outstanding job taking care of Jax, my 2 yr old Shih tzu. She took him to the park, walks, lots of dog buddies, terrific photos too!!! I highly recommend her for your pet, and plan to request her in the future.”
“Harlan was awesome! We have two very needy Frenchies and he made sure to accommodate all of their particular needs. He texted us pictures regularly which helped ease our anxiety of leaving our fur babies. He is the nicest guy and I can tell my pups really enjoyed being with him and felt really comfortable leaving them in his care! Thanks Harlan for all the TLC you gave them while we were away!”
“Our puppy was so happy here and the videos and photos made my family feel that she was safe and sound with two loving, caring people. Thank you so much Gabriel and Mari. We look forward to This being a beautiful friendship and we will surely hope you first. Thank you so much again Cassie had a great time.”
“We have used Anna a few times and she has been incredible. We have a very anxious dog but he always does great with Anna. Anna is so sweet and communication is great. We’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“I loved how much time they spent to get to know our dog as he is a bit iffy with new people! They had patience and no fear and I would recommend anyone to give your dog to this couple Amazing calm and sweet people and I am so happy to have found them ! Koa loves you guys Thanks again”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! They were so accommodating and patient. Their home, backyard, and neighborhood couldn't have been more perfect. I received updates & photos throughout my time away, and truly felt that my babies were in great care. I hope they let us come back - I don't want to use anyone else :) Thank you both so much!”
“David was very kind and attentive to my dog during his stay. He thoughtfully sent me photos and video clips, which greatly helped me ease my separation anxiety. My dog had a wonderful time with David.”
“Here's a revised version of your text with some adjustments for clarity and flow: Kiyarash did a great job watching my dog, Oreo. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy to see me, which assured me he had been in good hands. The last time I had a sitter, Oreo returned very jumpy and shaky. However, Kiyarash really took care of him, and I will definitely be rebooking him again.”

Ayni and Alfonsus took my little boy Bijou for the day and they took amazing care of him, sent tons of videos and photos throughout the day, and made sure I was always updated about his status and how he was doing. I truly felt like I could trust them with the safety and wellbeing of my dog. I would 100% rebook with them again. I have to say great people overall!
Lovely family! Bailey stayed with them for 2 nights and Lily for 1 night while we headed out for dinners and had a blast. They were very responsive, warm, joyful, and flexible when we needed to shift dates and times. The dogs settled in without any problem, we got lovely pictures and updates, and Bailey even went out for walks 😊 We truly appreciated it and can’t wait for our next vacation next year.
Our experience with Zenia was great from start to finish. She is responsive and a good communicator. My 6-year-old puppy has always stayed at my daughter's when I go out of town and I needed a sitter who could make him feel at home. I could see from the photos, (which Zenia sends daily,) that he relaxed right away and enjoyed snuggling, walking, and being with her dog Misty. Highly recommend!
