“Azure did an amazing job watching our pups! They had an amazing time! Loved the updates and pictures/videos while we were away on our trip! She really cared for our dogs and they loved her - even our one that is a little hesitant of people. They always seemed to be playing and were very happy pups - they had their own vacation too!”


“Karisa was AMAZING! Not only did she send me pics of Dez while she sat him, but she also gave updates! Her daughter made doggy treats for Dez, she took Dez on walks and gave us a thank you card! Karisa and family were the kindest people and we will DEFINITELY book her again! Thank you for being awesome, Karisa!”


“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”


“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”

About: My husband and I are no longer working, we raised two kids with always at least two dogs and will spoil your loved one. 🐶 I’m a retired nurse with plenty of free time to provide care for your dog. I can adjust my availability to accommodate your schedule. Happy to help you honor your commitments while providing peace of mind that your animal is being taken care of. Since my husband and I are no longer working and you might have more than one dog and prefer they stay at home in their own environment we can spend the time there taking care of them or visit them during the day multiple times taking them for at least two walks a day and tuck them safely in their quarters at night. You’ve got two dog lovers here who are very adaptable. 🐶 I have plenty of space in my home to host your dog. My Cavapoo will keep your dog company during a stay. Also, there is a nice park a few blocks away from my house.
