“Flexible and friendly. Lola had a great time and came home tired and clearly had fun. I could tell she was digging and running around with the other dogs having a great time.”


About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”


“Mocha had a great time with Nicky and their pet Nugget. She would send regular updates and pictures through out the day and well cared .The big fenced backyard and Nugget is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Nicky anytime. Nicky is the best I can ask for Mocha”


“Our rescue was transporting a dog for adoption and had a gap between drivers. Raleigh was flexible and worked with us quickly to take care of Canela until the next transport leg was available a few hours later. She was great to us in making arrangements and very sweet to Canela. We appreciate her so much!”


“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”

“Lyndsey is the best! She sent 3 or 4 photos a day to let me know how Teddy was doing. She's very reliable and I trust her 100% with my baby. She's very sweet and her two daughters are the cutest!”


About: We are Holly and James, the super proud paw-rents of two adorable doodles: Riley, the Goldendoodle, and Ruby, the Labradoodle. We're all about giving love and care to our furry family members and any visiting pets. James is living the good life in retirement, and Holly works remotely, giving us plenty of time to pamper pets. Our home is a kid-free, cat-free zone, perfect for a peaceful pup retreat. Plus, we have a big fenced-in yard where dogs can run, play, and just be dogs. With years of experience under our belts, we know how to handle everything from bouncy puppies to wise old doggos. We don't just care for our own doodles, Riley and Ruby, but extend our love to all four-legged visitors. Here's what we provide: • A safe, secure environment • Tons of playtime in a spacious yard • Personalized care for each dog's unique needs • Experience with all sorts of breeds and ages • A whole lotta love and spoiling! Riley and Ruby aren't just pets; they're family. These playful, friendly doodles make sure every visiting dog feels right at home. With their wagging tails and joyful barks, they spread happiness wherever they go. When you leave your pet with us, you're choosing a home full of love, safety, and fun. Our commitment to caring for every dog that comes through the door is evident in the way each one is treated like family. Our environment is designed to be a haven for pets, free from the hustle and bustle of children and other animals, ensuring a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Our spacious fenced-in yard is a dog's dream come true, offering plenty of room to play, explore, and bask in the sun. Whether your dog loves to chase a ball, sniff around, or simply relax, they'll find the perfect spot here. The yard is not just a play area; it's a place where dogs can be themselves, feel safe, and enjoy their time to the fullest. James, enjoying his retirement, dedicates his days to feeding, playing, cuddling, walking, and showering the pups with love. His full-time devotion ensures that the pups are pampered and delighted from dawn till dusk. Meanwhile, Holly, immersed in her remote job from Monday to Friday, eagerly anticipates wrapping up her workday. As soon as the clock strikes quitting time, she rushes to indulge in cuddles and playtime with their beloved fur babies, adding an extra layer of affection and joy to their evenings. This dynamic duo guarantees that the pups bask in endless care, attention, and fun around-the-clock. We have a fenced-in yard to enable your dog a safe place to play and do their business. This area is also great for playing and romping for the pups who stay with us too. During the day, dogs will spend their time in the living room, outside in the yard, or in Holly's office. It really all depends on what your pup needs and what type of relaxation they are looking for during their stay. We do our best to allow your pup to relax and enjoy their time in our home as though it is their own.

“This is the fourth time I’ve used Victoria and I couldn’t be happier. She’s extremely flexible with my schedule and always takes such good care of Juno. Juno gets tons of attention and exercise playing with Victoria’s puppy Stark and I can tell that she loves going over there based on how easy it is to get her in the car on the mornings I take her over there. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s a great sitter for a great price”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was apprehensive but when I met Katie I knew I was leaving my pup in good hands. I could tell Luna had a blast when I picked her up! Katie really loves dogs and Luna had other nice pups to play with while we were out. She also had plenty of potty breaks and a meal. Thanks again Katie!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.

About: Hey there my name is Chelsea. I am a very fun and friendly outgoing person with a huge heart for animals especially dogs. I am very dependable and flexible and will provide your dog with excellent care while they are in my care. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and I love it! They are just like us with feelings and they deserve to be treated with the utmost care. I can run with them, walk with them, love on them, or simply just drop by and check on them. I am very trustworthy and honest and I promise to take excellent care of your little fur babies for you. I hope you pick me to help you with your fur babies :) have a great day I am currently at home with my kids most of the time and occasionally I do Instacart so I am flexible. We love spending time in the back yard when it feels nice out side. I have a dog here at home and a cat. They aren't considered animals to us here though. They are my babies and family members.

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eleven year old Siberian husky that loves people and animals. If needed I can crate her if that is needed for the safety of your pet. I have plenty of experience in rotating.

About: I have trained and had dogs until last year. With my travel schedule it isn't fair to keep an animal boarded. I haven't met many dogs that aren't drawn to me. They are a better judge of character than most people. I work from home and only leave yo go deliver quilts or to the fabric and grocery store. I need a reason to take better walks and naps. I do not have a dog currently, and my yard is not fenced, but am a huge fan of leashes and walking cords to give dogs their space to do their business.
