About: My daughter and I lost our senior dog in January. We are not quite ready for another one but would love to sit for yours! We have a huge amount of affection to give the dogs we sit. We are brand new here which is why there are no reviews (aside from my Mom’s). I work at home so have a lot of time for walks and dog care. I live in a townhouse where it is easy to walk dogs in the immediate area. When I had a dog I walked him 4-5 times daily, gave him medication, fed him, always made sure he had access to water, and, most importantly, gave him tons of love!
“Susan is a wonderful and caring provider of care for pets. She kept my dog for 5 days, sent me tons of pictures, daily updates, and I know he was the happiest camper! Thank you ? Susan!”
“Alex did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog. I felt very confident leaving her with Alex. He gave her a great deal of attention and kept me updated on how she was doing. Alex was also extremely accommodating with my schedule. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him.”
“Suki had a wonderful time with Geoff, Jenny and family! They were very attentive to her needs and personality. Thanks to that, for a shy dog she adapted remarkably well to a strange home! The whole family got involved taking care of her and giving her attention, which was a big bonus. She got lots of walks and outdoor play time, which she loves. We would have no hesitation booking Suki for another stay with Geoff and Jenny!”

She never had any fear of dogs as a child, and took amazing care of her beloved dog for 10 years before he died. She knows a great deal about well dogs as well as sick ones as she had to take care of her dog who had many illnesses. Any dog in her care would be well cared for... Judy S”
