“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“Great experience with our Mona as she's always cautious in a new environment. However, she settled in nicely right away without any issues. We were given updates and was reassured throughout her stay. Highly recommend their services.”
“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of my dog, Coco, while we were gone on a cruise. She did her best to update us on how Coco is doing with the wifi connection issue on the cruise. We’re nervous about long-time boarding as Coco developed separation anxiety after the boarding experience with another sitter. Coco came back happy and not overly attached to us which tells us she had a good time while we’re gone. I appreciate Amanda and her family for the great care and I will definitely work with Amanda again.”
“Our little nugget had a wonderful stay with Jenny’s family and furbaby. He had good walks, good photos, and came home cleaner than we left him :-) Thx will keep in mind for our future dogvacay/rover needs.”
“Marcy was very kind and loving she treated my Lexa like she was her own. she was always sending updates. my lexa gets shy and won’t eat and she was very patient with her. my dog loves her and i will for sure be coming back for her to watch her again.”
“This was the first time using Pam and we were pleasantly updated throughout the entire dog sitting days. Pam provided frequent updates and photos of our dog which was quite comforting. I will surely use Pam again in the future.”
“I left my 9 month old puppy with Christina overnight and was thrilled with how well taken care of she was! Christina is extremely trustworthy and caring, I’ll always rebook her!”
“Lindsey and her family welcomed our dog into their home like he was their own. I knew it would be a good experience for all of us as soon as we met them. Lindsey was communicative throughout our dog’s stay and we could tell he was having a good time by her description of how he was acting along with the pictures and videos she sent. We will definitely be booking with Lindsey again.”
“Molly and Patrick were amazing! They took such great care of our baby, Luna. They were attentive and sent detailed updates. They made sure Luna was really well taken care of. They didn’t just watch her but they made sure she was happy and we couldn’t thank them for enough for that. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“We left our six month old lab with Debbie for three nights and he did great! He was also just neutered and had to wear an e-collar the whole time he was there. Debbie took excellent care of him! We are so lucky to have found some one so knowledgeable and caring for our dog! We will definitely use Debbie again in the future!”
About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed. Anthony is home all day, and I have a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a buddy for playtime, we’re here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.

Shirley & Anthony W.
“To Fellow Pet Owners, If you are seeking exceptional, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitters, I wholeheartedly recommend this couple. I have had the pleasure of knowing them for many years and can confidently attest to their dedication and expertise in caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Their approach to pet care is both professional and heartfelt—they treat every dog as a cherished member of their family. Whether engaging in playful activities, enjoying peaceful moments in their spacious, fenced yard, or simply offering comforting companionship, they create a warm and secure environment where dogs feel truly at home. Their attentiveness to each dog’s unique personality and needs is extraordinary, and their commitment to safety and happiness is unwavering. Reliable, nurturing, and intuitive, they possess a natural ability to connect with animals. If my dog could speak, I am certain he would offer his enthusiastic approval. Choosing them will undoubtedly bring peace of mind and joy to both you and your beloved pet. Warm regards, Jen”
