About: My husband & I have been raised with pets our entire lives. We are proud to say that we’re experienced and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We focus on quality care, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. We are perfect for babies with separation anxiety as we are home 24/7. He/She will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP TOP TOP priority when staying with us, we PROMISE. We're generally flexible with drop off/pick up time. We believe communication & mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. 😊. We also offer hourly daycare @ $25/hour(Minimum 2 hours), Include a note along with pick up/drop off time, and we'll make any credit adjustment accordingly. Our backyard is securely fenced with ample green lawn and play area, so there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for fully supervised playtime to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention. We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cat(s) or pup(s) who do not care to interact with other animals as we do have the sweetest senior rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time😆. Given that said, your pup(s) must be human friendly.😅.

14. Ruby J.
“Whether it's for a walk or overnight pet sitting stay, our pup is always excited to see Ruby. We are grateful to have found such a reliable, trustworthy and kind pet sitter 🙂 Ruby loves our dog and always makes sure she has her medications, and supplements daily (she has OA due to an elbow deformity which was corrected with surgery when she was younger). She also preps the Toppls, and Lick mats for all of our pup’s meals, and takes photos and sends updates. Ruby is frequently in our neighborhood as she walks some dogs daily, and our pup always recognizes her/her car from a distance! Our pup gives Ruby amazing welcome every time they meet! We know Ruby takes really good care of our pup while we are away on our vacation and that really gives us peace of mind!”

“I have known Albert for 31 years. It was only about nine years ago that I discovered that like myself, we both shared a love of dogs. This is when I met Albert's little beagle dog...driving several hours to pick the puppy up. The two are inseparable, like me and my shih tzu-chihuahua mix. I know for a fact Albert would give care to any dog belonging to any owner, if he is tasked.”
18. Angela D.

“I’ve known Michelle for years and she’s always been such a avid animal lover. She has cared for my dog and two cats many times since 2021 and has always been phenomenal.
