“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Our high-energy rescue has been doing great with him and coming home well worn out after doggy daycare. He’s kind enough to accommodate early work hours or a change of plans. Very satisfied! We’ll be booking weekly for daycare.”

“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

About: I've been caring for dogs of all ages for over 7 years. I worked at a dog daycare for over 5 years. I helped watch up to 30 dogs of all ages and sizes on my own. I also helped bathe them, trim/dremmel their nails, and clean their ears/teeth. I currently work remotely from 10am-7pm. Also my account is marked as a smoking home as for boarding and daycare purposes as my mother-in-law lives with us and she smokes in her room. I do not smoke at all. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I have been certified for cpr for canines as well. I have also been trained to break up incidents between dogs as well through my job at a dogdaycare and apply basic medical treatment to injuries.

About: My home operates as a peaceful, intentionally structured environment designed for dogs who thrive on one-on-one attention, calm routines, and low-stress companionship. While I live on a quiet 13-acre ranch, I intentionally limit bookings to no more than 2–3 dogs at a time to ensure every dog receives the kind of individualized supervision and care that simply isn’t possible in higher-volume settings. This is not a commercial facility, not a daycare model, and not a crowded group environment. It is a quiet, homebased retreat for dogs who benefit from stability, presence, and personal connection. The atmosphere here is quiet, grounded, and intentionally low-stimulus ideal for sensitive, anxious, senior, or well-mannered dogs who prefer a calm environment. Your dog is never crated away for long periods, never left unsupervised, and never placed in chaotic or overstimulated situations. They live alongside me as part of my daily routine, receiving consistent interaction, gentle enrichment, and predictable structure. I am not a high-volume sitter and never plan to be. My low-capacity approach is intentional to maintain: *Emotional balance *Quiet, stress-free routines *Safe dynamics between dogs *Calm energy throughout the home *High-quality one-on-one engagement I accept well socialized, even-tempered dogs as well as dogs who need a peaceful setting to feel secure. Puppies and higher management dogs are evaluated individually to ensure they are a good match for my environment and the dogs already here. Because I keep capacity low, your dog receives my direct presence not rotating staff, not crowded group exercise, and not overwhelming energy cycles. Because I keep capacity low, your dog receives my direct presence not rotating staff, not crowded group exercise, and not overwhelming energy cycles. This is individualized care, not volume-based boarding. The ranch includes open fields, shaded areas, and quiet walking routes. While there is plenty of land, access is always supervised, intentional, and based on your dog’s specific needs and recall reliability. Your dog enjoys: *Calm, slow-paced outdoor time, Mental enrichment without chaos, Safe exploration. Opportunities to decompress naturally This is not a free-run, high-drive environment. Everything is designed for safety, relaxation, and peace of mind. If your looking for high energy and large play groups reach out to my neighbor on Rover- Bryan C. My environment is particularly well suited for: *Calm, well-mannered dogs, Senior dogs, Anxious or sensitive dogs, Dogs needing one-on-one attention, Dogs who prefer small, predictable routines, Owners who value structure, transparency, and gentle supervision If you’re looking for a peaceful, structured, small-capacity ranch setting with full-time presence and truly individualized care, your dog may be an excellent match here. Caring for animals is already the rhythm of my day. I’m home full time, so everything I do revolves around feeding schedules, outdoor playtime, training, cleaning, and making sure everyone’s comfortable. My mornings start with letting the dogs out to stretch and play while I prep meals and check water buckets. Throughout the day, I rotate them between play areas, nap spots, and one-on-one time inside. there’s room for everyone to get fresh air, sunshine, and plenty of space to explore safely. I treat visiting dogs exactly like my own with the same attention, structure, and love. Nights are calm with everyone settled in for dinner, cuddles, and quiet time before bed. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it is my lifestyle. When pets stay with me, they get the best of both worlds! I have a safe indoor area where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable, plus a secure outdoor space where they can get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised playtime. I keep both areas clean and cozy, and I always make sure pets are monitored while outside. Whether it’s sunshine and fetch or chill time indoors, I tailor their routine to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.

“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”
