“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“Donna has been such a gem. She is very flexible. My Coco has special needs with medication and particular eating habits. Donna took great care of Coco while I was gone. It gave me such piece of mind. We are lucky to have found such a compassionate sitter.”
“Cat did a great job taking care of Remy and updating us while we were on our trip. She gave him the attention and care he needed. The meet and greet before we dropped him off was extremely helpful and let us have peace of mind that Remy would be in good hands. We will definitely be booking with Cat again in the future!”
“Ashish and family boarded Penny for a week while I was traveling. They sent me lots of pics of how much fun Penny was having with the family and I wondered if she would even want to come home 😆”
“Kassandra and Mario were great! They accepted our request at short notice and were very nice and accommodating. They had a crate for our 60 lb. dog, which was nice because we didn’t have to bring ours. Kassandra sent pictures and videos and kept us updated. They also made sure she was walked and got plenty of play time in at the dog park nearby and with their collection of toys. We’d definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always give them attention, affection, and a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and relaxed, just like at home. I had a beloved dog for 11 years who lived with epilepsy, so I have extensive experience caring for a dog with special medical needs. I would be truly happy to provide loving and attentive care for other dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I am available every day of the week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard for supervised play and exercise, along with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.
“I'm so happy to have found Jeanette and her family. My dog is rambunctious to say the least, and at 70lbs, he can be quite a lot to handle. I wanted to do a trial run with Jeanette before booking her for my 2+ week trip coming up. This was mainly to make sure they could see what they were getting into! And to my sheer embarrassment, I showed up with my dog on the wrong day... but they were so sweet and understanding and let him stay for the day. When he stayed the night, he marked some spots in their house (like her bed ughhhhh) but they handled it by putting a belly wrap on him. It was a wonderful feeling to pick up Buddy as I could tell he was well taken care of and had lots of fun with his friends, and Jeanette let me know how it went in detail. She was honest about everything, which I really appreciated because I know my dog is wild and challenging, I rescued him off the street and while we've come a long way since then, he still has a lot to learn. So I wouldn't trust anyone who said "oh everything was just perfect, no issues whatsoever" lol. They are very good people, and I know Buddy will be in good hands on my long trip. It's my first time leaving him for this long, but I know that they will update me and reassure me that he's doing OK. I highly recommend them.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Zoe with Wenxin and her partner. We’ve been dealing with some allergies and they helped us keep up with her probiotics and cleansing foam. Zoe was well exercised and came home fully relaxed. They also went above and beyond with dropping her off at our house since they were in the neighborhood that evening, as well as supplementing her food when I forgot a meals worth. Highly recommend especially if you want your dog treated like family!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“If you are looking for an EXCELLENT sitter for your dog, don't hesitate to book with Deborah! We have one dog with some special problems and Deborah was a champ with her. We got multiple pictures and updates on how they were doing through out the day. Our babies came home happy, healthy, and exhausted, so we know they had a great time. Thank you Deborah for watching our babies without us having to worry about them. BOOK WITH DEBORAH YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!”
“Our Luna girl stayed with Adam and Julie for over a week and this was herfirst stay with them. We did do a meet and greet a couple months before the actual stay so we had an idea if Luna liked Adam and Julie. Luna is normally a fairly reactive young puppy like adolescent with frequent barking and lungeing at people and dogs that distress her which can be many people and dogs. We went to their home for the meet and greet and Luna was fairly comfortable with Adam and Julie right off the bat. That was definitely a good sign. Two months later and Luna now 2 months older and more mellow has her stay with Adam and Julie. We picked Luna up after our trip and she was happy, playful, and reacted like she had a good stay. Julie and Adam gave us a full report and it seems everything went well. We got a daily picture of Luna sent via text which made us very happy to connect with her. Thanks to Adam and Julie for taking good care of our girl while we were on vacation.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Heather is very accommodating. Reviewer's comments are testimonials to her dedication to keep fellow pet owners at ease while we’re away from our fur babies. Thank you for accepting my last minute request. We'll be calling again!”
“William did an amazing job with my fur baby, Amori. My fur baby has a hard time adapting to new environments. William made Amori feel right at home. I needed a pet sitter at the very last minute. I was in a crisis, out of town, and didn’t have a pet sitter for Amori. William agreed to care for her with short notice.”
“Upon meeting Asatur for our meet and greet, I already felt his calm energy and Sebi did, too. He took the time to show us around the house and allow Sebi the space to “investigate” around the surroundings. He was very careful in how he introduced Sebi to the existing pack that he was sitting. His extremely clean house/large yard are set up in a manner that is very safe for the dogs to play with access to water, shade, as well as inside the house and garage as need. There was also water and a bucket of balls/Chuck-it readily available for all of the pups to play with. He is very patient, kind, and empathetic which is exactly what my fear aggressive pandemic pup needed! When we arrived to his house, Sebi immediately started doing his excited cry (something he only does when we get to a hike or a dog park or his grandparents house in Washington DC). He did not bark as we met Asatur and entered the home. He was excited to go see who was out in the yard to play with! Asatur took the time to keep me updated while I was away on my trip while sending me pictures. This was Sebi’s second time boarding since his first time a year ago and he isn’t exposed to too many new people on the regular, so I was very nervous. I was notified that Sebi did not bark after I left and proceeded to give Asatur kisses on the daily and became friends with the cat, too. When I arrived to pick him up, upon seeing him, I already knew that he was beginning to trust Asatur because he was wearing a shirt (Sebi is a hairless dog)…which meant that he was comfy allowing someone else to handle him! HUGE DEAL FOR SEBI! I highly refer booking with Asatur. His attention to the needs of every individual dog that he boards is meticulous. His energy is reminiscent of Cesar Milan (calm and empathetic but in charge) and the pups seem to all be in harmony under his watch. If you can handle my Sebastien, my-fear-aggressive-pandemic-extra-large-puppy, then you are doing the work of God!!! ?? We are excited and looking forward to boarding Sebi here again many more times in the future! Thank you!!!”
“Jennifer and her family were extremely kind and treated my dog Rufus like their own. Rufus was able to play freely in their sizable backyard, and even made a few new friends. I would trust leaving my dog(s) with Jennifer and her family anytime in the future”

“Amber took care of our cat and plants while we were away. Totoro was well-fed, the litter box was clean, and everything was in order when we returned. We appreciated their reliability and knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you for your help!”
“Met letter was great with our two cats! She did all the basics (food/water/litter box) and then gave them some extra love and attention. She even got our shy one to come out and say hi! Would definitely recommend her for all of your pet needs and we will Definitely be using her again ❤️”
“Erin was super helpful. I had booked her last minute and she was able to help me which I greatly appreciated. Kept Neoh happy, cleaned up after him, and was on time each visit. Thank you again for all your help!”
“Valissa was great with Rosha and was able to give us peace of mind while we were gone by providing us photos and little updates on how she was doing each day. Very much appreciated!”
“This was my first experience using Rover for my cat, and Emma provided exceptional care, consistently updating me during each visit. Her approachable and communicative nature put me at ease while my partner and I were away. I look forward to booking her services again in the future.”

“Alex is the best. We've engaged her repeatedly to take care of our cats and she's very attentive with our problematic pica cat who eats everything. She also leaves the house really clean by helping us vacuum the litter!”
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having personally cared for a variety of animals. Additionally, I worked at a dog daycare and volunteered at an animal shelter for five years, where I provided dedicated care for both dogs and cats. Pet care has been a regular part of my routine for several years. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with animals, I naturally incorporate these responsibilities into my daily life. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and I prioritize their well-being and comfort. With my current open schedule, I have the flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care, and I'm looking forward to making pet care a central part of my full-time routine. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. I also pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Thank you so much for caring for our spotty boy! We really appreciate you and the time you took to come see to his needs. Excellent work, super responsive and communicative.”
About: I have been a cat lover my entire life! I grew up always with 1 or 2 cats in the house and it wasnt until i moved away to college where i couldnt have pets that i realized how much i missed their intelligence, their cuddles and purrs. I am not able to have pets at this time in my life, however am a caring, trustworthy and loving petsitter. i treat all animals as if they were my own! If your cat tends to shy away from humans, i understand how to give them the space they need to stay comfortable in their home while still receiving care and consistency. If your cat prefers to have people around 24/7 instead of pop in visits, they are welcome to come stay with me during your vacations! fine detail to feeding schedules or medication regiments are nothing new to me and i understand the importance. please be litter trained :)
“I was nervous to leave my 3 cats and hamster at home all week stuck inside. Claudia was great at sending pictures and keeping me up to date. Cats and hamster all seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. Will use her services again.”
“Deborah was terrific! She is gentle, calm, and clearly knows how to take care of cats. She was highly communicative, timely, etc. It was so reassuring to have my 2 cats in her care.”
“Jessica is awesome. She took great care of our two kitties while we were gone for the holidays. It is such a relief to know your pets are in good hands when you travel. We highly recommend Jessica.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carquinez Heights
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”

“Jeannette and her family took great care of my very shy and timid dog. It was such a relief knowing that my baby girl was in such caring hands. Would highly recommend Jeanette and her family to take care of your fur babies. Thank you again!”
“So this was the 1st time using Zach and his wife, Jennifer. They were both very nice. Their 2 little boys were very sweet as was their dog. They have a big back yard for my dog to play in. They sent me pics of my dog and communicated through out her stay. I would recommend them to anybody who needs a dog sitter for sure.”
“Smoke was content when we picked him up. Slept well that night. He seems like he had a good time. Kasandra was very friendly and loving with Smoke and sent us pictures while he was with them.”
“Fransico was great with Luna. She even continued to bring him toys to play as we were trying to go home 😂. Did a great job of keeping me updated and sending photos. Luna clearly had a great time with him and was worn out when we got home she knocked out! That's what I love a well worked out fur baby after a full day. Thank you again and we will be return customers!”
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”

About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer—my mother—and have carried on her love for all animals. I was taught how to handle reactive, nervous dogs with calm gentle confidence, keep high-energy dogs busy with engaging activities, and give mindful care of dogs that have any special needs. Dogs have been a part of my life since birth, including my 15 year old boy Chunk that is so disarming, he makes an excellent companion for even the most nervous dogs. I’ve gained a broad amount of experience as the go-to enthusiastic dog sitter for all my friends and family’s pets. I would love share a warm, welcoming home with your pet where nightly snuggles on the couch are the norm. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“So much space to play, a couple of friendly dogs to play with, and a beautiful house to explore. Princess loved the day and I’m sure will love future daycare opportunities. Thank you!”
“We are fortunate that we found Asatur close to our house. Pando went for a few days for day care with Asatur, while we had some workers at home. His excitement to go to Asatur's house increased every day, the first day Pando was nervous, by that the last day he was running out of the car and into Asatur's house gate when we were dropping him.”
“Nadine is a fantastic dog sitter. My little one lets me know if she wants to return to a sitter or not, and she definitely enjoys her time with Nadine! Nadine provides a lot of toys, and her own dogs play with mine, so my little one comes back home fully satisfied and ready to rest. No question we’ll be calling Nadine for more dog sitting days in the near future.”

Two walks later, she’s Emma’s best friend. I appreciate Emma’s calm energy. She lets dogs go to her and doesn’t force any affection onto them while being attentive and sweet. She walks my dog twice a week and she will be boarding with her soon. Highly recommend.”
About: **Trusted, Experienced Pet Care – Walks, Check-Ins, and Loving Attention for Your Pets** Hello! My name is Erin, and I am a passionate and experienced animal lover offering reliable pet care services for your furry family members. With more than 20 years of experience owning, walking, and caring for dogs and cats, I understand how important it is for pets to receive consistent exercise, attention, and compassionate care. I offer a variety of services designed to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away, including 30-minute or 60-minute dog walks, pet check-ins, potty breaks, feeding and watering, pet sitting, and playtime. Whether your dog needs a quick walk to stretch their legs or a longer outing for exercise and stimulation, I am happy to tailor my visits to meet your pet’s specific needs. Over the years I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly believe that daily exercise and mental stimulation are just as important for animals as they are for people. As someone who walks or hikes every day, I would love to have your dog join me for safe, fun, and engaging outings. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to accommodate your routine. I am known for being calm yet assertive, patient, kind, trustworthy, responsible, and highly attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. To ensure everyone feels comfortable, I am always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. If you’re looking for a dependable and caring person who will treat your pet like family, I would love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work part time, giving me flexible availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and playtime, with dependable scheduling and plenty of time to focus on your dog. I care for my own dog and cat with structure, patience, enrichment, and affection-prioritizing daily walks, training, play, and routines that keep them happy, healthy, and secure. I consider them members of my family, and promise to treat your pets as good as I do mine. I am the go-to person in my family and friends group when it comes to dog walks, baths, and training.
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having personally cared for a variety of animals. Additionally, I worked at a dog daycare and volunteered at an animal shelter for five years, where I provided dedicated care for both dogs and cats. Pet care has been a regular part of my routine for several years. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with animals, I naturally incorporate these responsibilities into my daily life. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and I prioritize their well-being and comfort. With my current open schedule, I have the flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care, and I'm looking forward to making pet care a central part of my full-time routine. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. I also pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point. I’m very intentional about keeping things consistent: feedings, walks, meds, all of it because I know how much that matters to them. And I make time for the in-between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I’ve kind of built my routine around pet care at this point.

And I make time for the in between moments too like just hanging out so they feel comfortable and not like I’m just passing through. I focus a lot on creating a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and can relax. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent and low stress. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and set up so each pet has room to settle in comfortably. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, safe interactions, and keeping a close eye on behavior to prevent any issues before they happen. Building trust is a big part of my approach, both with pets and their owners, so I prioritize clear communication and dependable care throughout the stay.
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
“This is my second time with her and my dog likes her and the walk. I think this time I'm going to set up recurring walks with her. Great job! I definitely recommend Merlette!”
About: I’ve had dogs and tons of animals (cats, mice, lizards, bunnies, etc.) through out my life. I currently have a toy poodle, I trained, I groom him myself and I make his food. He is a healthy boy that has never eaten kibble. I currently have a cat and pitbull at my parents house I also care for when my parents go out of town. I love animals and they love me back I can show you better than I can tell you! I’m very patient. I never use harsh reinforcement to correct my fur babies. Time, Love, Consistency and Patience is the key to an amazing dog with great behaviors! I’m currently working part time/reduced hours. I have open availability. I’m very flexible also when it comes to dog parents schedules and things coming up. Love number one. Learn the dog. I’m there to serve them. Comfort and good communication. I stay in a home with open space. Home is already dog proof because I have a pup myself. I have a huge back yard with a fence around it. A front yard also. I’m an active person so outside is a must.
About: I’ve been caring for my family rescue pitbull for 10 years. This experience has provided me experience with bigger dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are reactive and prefer to avoid other dogs on walks. Dogs and cats bring me immense joy, and my goal is to be such love and care to the pets, but also respect to the pet and their owners. Looking forward to working with you all! I’m currently a master’s student, who has a few days off a week! My schedule will become even more free with my academic winter and summer break! I can check on your pets in the am, mid day, and evening! While taking care of pets in others homes, I will be sure to respect the owner's boundaries. I will never touch anything in the house that is off limits. I will be attentive with your dogs needs and give them love.
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”

“Cat did a great job taking care of Remy and updating us while we were on our trip. She gave him the attention and care he needed. The meet and greet before we dropped him off was extremely helpful and let us have peace of mind that Remy would be in good hands. We will definitely be booking with Cat again in the future!”
“Kassandra and Mario were great! They accepted our request at short notice and were very nice and accommodating. They had a crate for our 60 lb. dog, which was nice because we didn’t have to bring ours. Kassandra sent pictures and videos and kept us updated. They also made sure she was walked and got plenty of play time in at the dog park nearby and with their collection of toys. We’d definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always give them attention, affection, and a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and relaxed, just like at home. I had a beloved dog for 11 years who lived with epilepsy, so I have extensive experience caring for a dog with special medical needs. I would be truly happy to provide loving and attentive care for other dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I am available every day of the week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard for supervised play and exercise, along with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.
“I'm so happy to have found Jeanette and her family. My dog is rambunctious to say the least, and at 70lbs, he can be quite a lot to handle. I wanted to do a trial run with Jeanette before booking her for my 2+ week trip coming up. This was mainly to make sure they could see what they were getting into! And to my sheer embarrassment, I showed up with my dog on the wrong day... but they were so sweet and understanding and let him stay for the day. When he stayed the night, he marked some spots in their house (like her bed ughhhhh) but they handled it by putting a belly wrap on him. It was a wonderful feeling to pick up Buddy as I could tell he was well taken care of and had lots of fun with his friends, and Jeanette let me know how it went in detail. She was honest about everything, which I really appreciated because I know my dog is wild and challenging, I rescued him off the street and while we've come a long way since then, he still has a lot to learn. So I wouldn't trust anyone who said "oh everything was just perfect, no issues whatsoever" lol. They are very good people, and I know Buddy will be in good hands on my long trip. It's my first time leaving him for this long, but I know that they will update me and reassure me that he's doing OK. I highly recommend them.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Our Luna girl stayed with Adam and Julie for over a week and this was herfirst stay with them. We did do a meet and greet a couple months before the actual stay so we had an idea if Luna liked Adam and Julie. Luna is normally a fairly reactive young puppy like adolescent with frequent barking and lungeing at people and dogs that distress her which can be many people and dogs. We went to their home for the meet and greet and Luna was fairly comfortable with Adam and Julie right off the bat. That was definitely a good sign. Two months later and Luna now 2 months older and more mellow has her stay with Adam and Julie. We picked Luna up after our trip and she was happy, playful, and reacted like she had a good stay. Julie and Adam gave us a full report and it seems everything went well. We got a daily picture of Luna sent via text which made us very happy to connect with her. Thanks to Adam and Julie for taking good care of our girl while we were on vacation.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Upon meeting Asatur for our meet and greet, I already felt his calm energy and Sebi did, too. He took the time to show us around the house and allow Sebi the space to “investigate” around the surroundings. He was very careful in how he introduced Sebi to the existing pack that he was sitting. His extremely clean house/large yard are set up in a manner that is very safe for the dogs to play with access to water, shade, as well as inside the house and garage as need. There was also water and a bucket of balls/Chuck-it readily available for all of the pups to play with. He is very patient, kind, and empathetic which is exactly what my fear aggressive pandemic pup needed! When we arrived to his house, Sebi immediately started doing his excited cry (something he only does when we get to a hike or a dog park or his grandparents house in Washington DC). He did not bark as we met Asatur and entered the home. He was excited to go see who was out in the yard to play with! Asatur took the time to keep me updated while I was away on my trip while sending me pictures. This was Sebi’s second time boarding since his first time a year ago and he isn’t exposed to too many new people on the regular, so I was very nervous. I was notified that Sebi did not bark after I left and proceeded to give Asatur kisses on the daily and became friends with the cat, too. When I arrived to pick him up, upon seeing him, I already knew that he was beginning to trust Asatur because he was wearing a shirt (Sebi is a hairless dog)…which meant that he was comfy allowing someone else to handle him! HUGE DEAL FOR SEBI! I highly refer booking with Asatur. His attention to the needs of every individual dog that he boards is meticulous. His energy is reminiscent of Cesar Milan (calm and empathetic but in charge) and the pups seem to all be in harmony under his watch. If you can handle my Sebastien, my-fear-aggressive-pandemic-extra-large-puppy, then you are doing the work of God!!! ?? We are excited and looking forward to boarding Sebi here again many more times in the future! Thank you!!!”
“Jennifer and her family were extremely kind and treated my dog Rufus like their own. Rufus was able to play freely in their sizable backyard, and even made a few new friends. I would trust leaving my dog(s) with Jennifer and her family anytime in the future”
“We re-booked with Iris for an overnight stay. Our pup had a fun time playing with Bacon, and taking walks in the neighborhood. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos from Iris; very attentive sitter.”
“Mellise kept us informed of what was going on with our Louie all the time. Pictures and videos lessen our missing him which she sent every day. Louie looked like he had a terrific time with the whole family and spoiled with attention. I will definitely use Mellise again for our pet care.”
“Chris was great, I’m so glad we found him, our dogs were well taken care of and happy at pick up. Chris was very communicative and we loved the picture updates. Space is spacious, safe and secure for our 2 dogs. Bonus- he’s an Arsenal fan and Irish:) same as my husband :) thanks for the great care Chris, we’ll definitely be in touch again.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of various types of dogs since I was a child. Family and friends can count on me to help care for their beloved fur babies whenever they need a helping hand! I currently work M-F until 4 pm - 10 minutes away from home. I am available for boarding Friday, Saturday & Sunday and weekdays after 4:30. I have a fenced yard out back and a sweet 5 pound yorkie mix named Wednesday to keep your dog company. She can easily separated if you’d prefer. I also have a crate for a larger dog if needed.
“As expected, Artemis, Harley and Cooper had a wonderful stay with Spencer. The dogs came home relaxed and calm! And Artemis palled around with a German Shepherd--I expect to see pigs fly --thanks Spencer for all your skill and kindness!”
