“For anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter, you can’t get any better than Roseann. I drive 2.5 hours out of my way from Salem Oregon every time I need someone to watch my mini Dachshund for a couple of days. She is both reliable and amazing with dogs. Cash just came back from his most recent four day stay as happy as always. Thanks again Roseann!”

“Emmillie took great care of Ollie while we were away. Ollie had a great time playing with her and her dog. He was tired all day when he came home. She shared photos and had very good communication before and during the stay. Highly recommend.”

“This was our pups first overnight away from his family. Katlyn was a great caregiver to our Ember and even sent us some pictures while we were away. It was also an added bonus that she had a playmate there which was Katlyns dog Luca. I think that helped her feel more at ease and comfortable. A great place to have our dog and will absolutely have her stay there again.”

“Kathleen was great with my dog, Beau. She sent pictures and updates ,which made me feel reassured, her dog and mine both got along well togetherl, Kathleen made my dog feel at home and part of her family ! Lauren Urso”
About: Our love for animals runs deep. Our pets are our family and bring so much joy to our lives. We will take great care of your animals because we understand the importance of keeping animals happy and safe at all times so their parent can have peace of mind while they are apart. They bring us so much joy that they deserve nothing less than to be spoiled with love! Both my husband and I work from home, so our girl and your pup would be with us the whole time during their visit. He farms our vineyard while I work from home in wine marketing and sales. Our 10 acres are completely fenced. We have an Australian Shepherd who is 3 years old and loves being our watcher girl and frisbee queen. The dogs are with us all the time and have full range of all the comfy spots for resting between plays. Water is available in multiple locations to keep pups hydrated as they live the vineyard life!
