“We recently had the pleasure of having Sandra house sit and care for our dog Simba and we couldn’t be more impressed! From the very beginning, Sandra was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, asking plenty of detailed questions to make sure Simba’s routine and needs were fully understood. What truly amazed us was how quickly she bonded with Simba. He’s a Korean Jindo, a breed known for being cautious around strangers, but Sandra clearly has a special way with animals. Within the first day, Simba was not only comfortable with her but actually playing and following her around like they’d known each other for years! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Sandra kept our home tidy, stayed communicative, and treated Simba like her own. She’s reliable, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Sandra is officially our go-to sitter from now on — highly, highly recommend!”

“Jillian was great! She was quick to reach and easy to work with. Came to meet and greet with our girls(Sadie and Minnie). Kept lines of communication open at all times. It was a great relief to know our pets were home being well cared for and safe! 10/10 recommend!”


“Rich is very responsible, he took care of Shiraz in our home while we were away. He spent lots of time with Shiraz so that he wouldn’t have to be crated, we were very grateful for him.”

“Kevin's great! He's taken care of Shadow before and come to meet the boys before hand. He had no problem syringe feeding our senior until we could be home to hand feed him, and he took great care of the boys. Sent pictures/ updates. The best.”

About: I have had many animals in my life since I was a baby. I have taken care of many as well. Friends, family, coworkers and strangers have called me "Snow white" because animals (and children!) seem to just come over to me and talk or look for my attention. Always spoiling my own fur kids with lots of love, games and treats. I have been a nurse for 17 years as well so I am not faint of heart. (I can handle poop) I am a very hard worker and motivated to work. I have worked in home care for a few years now and very much enjoy it. I'm very well aware of circumstances and issues that may come up. I look forward to taking the best care of your pet I'm currently working full-time (three days a week) for a medically fragile child but I have flexibility throughout the rest of the week. Flexible schedule is important too. I am happy to come to you as my home doesn't have too much space. However I feel like animals like their own houses. ☺️
“Randall took great care of our dogs and cats and our home while we were away. It was a lot to ask for someone to come stay during the holiday with older pets that get anxiety when left alone. They were happy and content when we arrived home. Thanks Randy!”

“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”

“Stephen watched our dog Banjo in our home while we were away for 4 days. He seems to have lots of experience and very knowledgeable about dogs. He kept in touch with us about his comings and goings and sent us photos and videos of Banjo. Both Banjo and the house look clean and well cared for. Would use him again and recommend him to others.”

About: Since I was a young girl I have always been a dog lover then I became a dog mom almost 7 years ago to Chanel, a full breed shih tzu. She is my entire world, she is family. My two boys absolutely adore her. Chanel has always loved playing with other dogs, that’s how I started boarding dogs in my home and did that for about a year with an Agency. Summer of 2023 I fully dedicated my time to boarding dogs for 3 month with rover. It was absolutely so enjoyable watching my dog and my boys have the best time with our new friends and making sure they were in good hands while their parents went on their vacations! Currently I am to board again. I know how important it is to make sure your fur baby is in good hands. I will treat yours like my own and make sure they feel safe loved and happy. Currently my weekends and Mondays are completely free, I have availability in my day to make stop by and make sure your pup is good or can give that much needed walk! I can guarantee your pet will get all my attention. I am very detailed oriented and will make sure everything is done correctly and safely. Safety is a priority to me
