About: I've owned dogs for over 20 years and have pet sat friend's and families pets over the years. I have experience with big and small dogs. I am a stay at home parent so I have all day and night to spend with your pup. They can cuddle up on the couch or go to their kennel and lay if they prefer isolation. We have a pool so if they like to swim we can definitely do that. We go on morning walks and sometime evening walks so your pup would be part of our pack and get some exercise. I will be more than happy to send you pics and updates during the stay. I have a fenced in yard with a pool if your dog likes to swim. I also have a fixed dog friendly dog your pup can play with. They will not be unsupervised during any play activity.

They are great about sending photos daily and staying in communication. I feel they are genuine dog lovers, and it shows. I have no concerns about magic in their care and I will definitely be using this great couple again. Thank you, Andrew and Talia, you guys are great. 💕”
“Paola did such a great job caring for our Golden, Winston! From the moment he met her at the meet and greet, he loved her, and her son greeted Winston with hugs, which my doggie loves. I truly appreciated the photos she sent throughout Winston’s stay and how she proactively kept us informed about how he was doing at different points during the day. I could tell he was so happy, relaxed and loved. I’m looking forward to bringing him back to her warm, caring home soon!”

“It was my first time boarding my dog, Sneakers with any sitter, but I'm so happy that my initial choice was with Vivian and her son, Jonah! Sneakers absolutely loved his stay with them to the point that he thought he found his newfound home. They treated him like family and made him feel so comfortable. During my travels from across state lines and running into traffic here and there, Vivian was exceptional with accommodating pick-up times. She and her son are sweet and kind people who truly love dogs! She sent me updated photos of Sneakers within every hour or so. She made me feel reassurance knowing that Sneakers was actively enjoying himself. Vivian and Jonah are two people you can trust to take care of your furry loved ones. Thank you again!”

I don’t work on the weekends, I’m a home body. I will have all the time to play, Care and interact with your fur babies I have a fenced yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your pet company, or I can crate if need be, you let me know!

I cannot recommend Denise enough! She took incredible care of Chewy and truly went above and beyond. I loved receiving regular video updates of him while I was away. She took him on fun car adventures to keep him entertained and even gave him a bath so he was clean and pampered when I picked him up. She is fantastic, and I will absolutely book her again!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
