He enjoyed daily walks, plenty of bed cuddles, and all the attention he could ask for. We highly recommend Lindsay and would absolutely book with her again.”

They loved exploring in the beautiful big back yard. They were not stressed when they came home and were very happy. We loved that Gary had experience with senior pugs and we knew that they would be in great hands. We highly recommend Gary and will be using him.again.”

“Breanna was so wonderful watching my pup, Kira, for the weekend! They went on walks, met other dog friends, and got doggy ice cream. She was thorough about asking if Kira had allergies and how she reacted to other dogs beforehand, which was much appreciated! I will absolutely go with Breanna again next time Kira needs to be watched over a weekend!”

“Victoria was absolutely wonderful to work with. She sent pictures and videos of our dog and my son's cat every day during our vacation. Both were happy to see us when we picked them up and it was obvious they were well cared for. VIctoria was immensely patient with our Irish Setter puppy who has lots of energy and my son's cat who is a recluse. 100% will be using her again for out of town trips!”

It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've cared for and babysat pets for friends, family, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable, compassionate care. My experience includes caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, as well as independent cats and affectionate lap cats alike. I understand that some pets warm up quickly while others need time to build trust, and I always let them set the pace. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in reliable hands. I work full time out of the home, but can be available to board animals overnight on weekdays for (1) night with a pick up by 7:30 AM the following day and can board or house-visit over the weekend (Drop off Friday after 4PM thru Sundays-pick up by 5 pm Sunday). I can do house visits any week day after 4 PM. I have a fenced in backyard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. My home is a pet's paradise with lots of comfy couches and plenty of space to run and play, and windows for clocking in for Neighborhood Watch :) I don't mind animals sleeping with me, if they want to! Otherwise, plenty of places for furry ones to nap and snooze whenever they choose.
