About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!
“We are thankful this family cared for our Daisy (lab/border Collie while away. She was well attended to and came home happy and calm. The family was very communicative.”
“Sloan did an outstanding job caring for both my dogs Teddy and Tootsie! I received detailed updates and frequent pictures of the both of them. She made sure to ask good questions to prepare caring for them and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I could tell when my dogs came back home that they had a great time with her!”
“Amazing sitter! Hands down the best to date that I’ve had the pleasure of entrusting my sweet JuJu with. She’s positive, attentive, trustworthy and maintains constant communication.”
“Bo is a 16-year-old dog who has anxiety and doesn’t really like change so I was very nervous to leave him for five days. Carlita was so patient with Bo. She also helped ease my worry by sending daily updates with pictures/video! The first and last time we boarded Bo at a facility he looked depressed in the cameras; with Carlita he looked happy and was smiling!! I will certainly be reaching out to Carlita in the future! Thank you Carlita for taking such wonderful care of our Bo!!”

We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!
Austin and Morgan took wonderful care of my dog during her first stay with them. She was a little nervous at first, but they were patient and attentive, and made her feel comfortable. I appreciated the updates and pictures they sent, which let me see how she was settling in. I would definitely recommend Austin and Morgan to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters!
Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!
I've left my 3 mth old puppy with Karisa twice and will definitely book her again in the future. During our most recent stay, I ran into an unexpected scheduling conflict, and Karisa was incredibly gracious and accommodating. Her flexibility provided so much peace of mind, and I truly appreciate her level of care.
