About: I’m a proud dog mom to two miniature dachshunds and a German Shepherd, and I care for dogs just like I would my own children—I don’t see them any differently than human kids. I provide love, attention, and personalized care to each dog, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior with special needs. I’m experienced in training, administering medications, supporting special diets, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. What sets me apart is my deep compassion and the genuine bond I form with every pet. Pet care is an integral part of my daily life. As a dog mom to two miniature dachshunds and a German Shepherd, I structure my day around walks, meals, playtime, and training sessions. I give each dog personalized attention, whether it’s working on puppy training, keeping high-energy dogs active, or providing enrichment and affection. On a weekly basis, I maintain consistent routines and socialization to ensure every dog in my care feels happy, safe, and loved. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. My home is 100% secured with an in-home security system, allowing me to monitor and record what’s happening inside 24/7. I supervise pets at all times, provide plenty of attention, and maintain their routines for feeding, potty breaks, and play. I treat every dog like my own, creating a calm, loving, and positive environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
“Savannah was a pleasure to deal with. I really appreciated the phone call before the booking to give an overview of a typical day for my dog. Very courteous and responsive and gave me plenty of updates on how my pup was doing throughout the day. 10/10!”
“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job of caring for our dog Punky! They were extremely proactive about getting to know Punky and her particular needs (separation anxiety, dog reactivity), and making sure we were comfortable with their apartment--which, by the way, seemed to be an ideal environment safe for a dog with easy access to a fenced patio. After picking up Punky, she has seemed happy and relaxed. Strongly recommended!”
“Whitney was very communicative from the start all way through to picking up our dog Pony. We got plenty of photos throughout the day and night she was watching him which we were grateful for :) Pony loves other dogs so it was great that Whitney owns one and was watching another during his stay. She even bought Pony some treats! We would definitely book with Whitney again!”
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“Cheryl was so kind and loved on our puppies like they were her own. She went above and beyond to keep us informed on how they were doing and super responsive anytime we reached out. 10/10 would recommend and would stay again. Thanks Cheryl! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I am a dog-mom who loves caring for pets like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking to their normal routine. I also have experience with senior dogs and can give supplements or medications when needed. Additionally, I have experience with puppies too since I raised my fur baby since she was only 8 weeks old. I work part time, so I have several days off during the week to focus on pet care. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Safety and comfort are important to me. I live in a condo with a balcony, so pets get regular supervised walks since there’s no yard. I do have a baby at home, so I’m very mindful about keeping the environment gentle, clean, and well supervised. In a client’s home, I follow your routine and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for.
“You did a fantastic job! Eden was always quick to get back to me. She adored my pups, and they adored her too. This was my first time using Rover, and honestly, I’m giving it a perfect score with Eden. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely go back to her.”
“Adrian's family was great watching our puppy izzy. Responsive and timely communication with us. Great yard for her to roam around in. They took her on walks and their kids lovingly played with her. After receiving pictures of how happy she looked staying with this wonderful family I would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend. Thank you so much!”
“Bailey was super attentive to my diabetic old man , she sent constant updates and pictures, when my older dog didn’t feel well she handled the situation calmly with compassion and care. Definitely recommend!”
“Kayla looked after my dog Maple for 4 days and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly communicative, keeping me updated with regular messages and photos. Her calm demeanor works wonders with dogs and Maple absolutely adored her. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and awesome dog sitter.”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“Whitney did amazing with Milo! I was very nervous to leave him for a week while on vacation as Milo has separation anxiety and just high anxiety overall. She sent me updates on him regularly which made me feel more at ease and after bringing him home he seems like a different dog (in a good way lol)! Thank you Whitney for taking such good care of my fur baby! I will definitely be using you again when I go on my next adventure 😁”

Angela is wonderful! She treats any dog in her care with love, gives attention, and supplies the dog owner with updates + photos. Our dogs almost don't want to leave because they are sooo happy. I highly highly recommend Angela for day care and boarding. It is such a relief to know that my dogs are loved and cared for while I'm out of town. I think she under charges, so I always give a nice tip:)
Tammy won my heart the moment I saw her photos with her Boxer, Max. We struggled this year to find the right “Vacation Mama” for our Boxer, Vito, over Christmas and New Year’s — and Tammy (plus Max!) turned out to be the perfect match!!! We had to travel overseas, and she kept us updated the whole time with photos and sweet messages. Vito got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and all the love he’s used to at home. When we picked him up, he looked happy and well cared for! We’re incredibly grateful for Tammy and Max. They made our holiday travel worry‑free, and Vito can’t wait to visit again.
Dustin was great! He took great care of our fur baby, provided updates and sent pictures! We get worried that Annie will get anxious whenever we drop her with a sitter because she was abandoned before; so we try to limit the amount of time we are away from her as much as possible… but she seemed to fit right in with Dustin and his dogs and warmed up to him immediately upon meeting him. Our experience overall was outstanding.
Ben and Luke were really great! There was an incident that happened with another dog and they took care of it immediately. They called me right away and kept me informed. They also sent pictures daily that I loved. They seemed to really care about dogs which I appreciated.
I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! From the moment I left my dog, she treated her like family. My dog is like one of my kids, so I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. The daily photos showed my baby looking relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Her dogs were friendly and immediately got along with mine, creating a calm and happy environment. This was especially helpful for my dog, who is an only dog at home. The entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely reliable. Her communication was clear, and it’s evident that she has a real gift for understanding animals and making them feel safe. I would book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to stay in a home that truly pays attention and cares.
Kelly and Donovan did an amazing job caring for our doggo while we were out of town for 5 days. They took him on multiple walks each day, snuggled with him, and made him feel so at home. They sent photos and videos each day, and made us feel confident that he was having just as great a "vacation" as we were! Thank you, Kelly and Donovan!!! ❤️
Shannon and Nick were great accommodating our geriatric despite some issues with your anxiety, eating and incontinence. I have no doubt that Callie was safe and sound on their house while we traveled out of town last minute. Forever in their debt and so grateful. Would highly recommend to anyone else!
