“Amazing! She took care of my dog for three weeks, sent pictures, stuck to her dietary needs, washed her crate and even gave her a bath at no extra charge! I highly recommend her services and would definitely hire her again! Thank you so much!”
“I will definitely hire again. Great sitter and photographer, like, seriously, Karina takes great photos of your dog having fun and being take care. Really put my heart at ease while I was out of state. Wonderful sitter.”
“Isao & Rezairyl made me feel very comfortable while my Gigi was with them. They send photos and updates daily. Gigi is a senior dog and since they also have seniors, they knew exactly what kind of environment she needed to be in and knew exactly how to take care of her. Gigi also got an upset stomach on the first day of drop off, and they reassured me that she was ok and knew exactly how to help fix that problem. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book with them again.”
“We are so happy we found Marby for our little Jehu! She watched our 4 lb Yorkie for 5 days and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we dropped him off, she kept us constantly updated with pictures and check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jehu is still in the middle of potty training, and Marby took that seriously. She kept him on a consistent walking schedule that aligned perfectly with his training routine. That kind of attention to detail means the world when you have a pup in such an important stage of development. As a bonus, Jehu absolutely loved her little poodle and got so attached! I could tell he was genuinely happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. He came home healthy and content, and honestly, I think he can’t wait to go back for his next visit. We will definitely be booking with Marby again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive sitter!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our furry love ones. They were so happy Buster didn’t want to leave. I am very happy to have found you will be first on my list for the next time.”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“First time leaving our little Groot over night. Angie was great, took care of him just as if he was her own. Sent us updates so we would be at ease. Took him to the park and as he needed let him sleep with her. Thank you Angie!”
“Moose (4yr old male goldendoodle) always has a great time under the care of Maritza. Martitza is gentle with Moose and provides me with updates and pictures/videos throughout the day. Moose gets to relax and play with other pups and is always meeting new friends. Moose and I are truly grateful!”
“It was our first time getting a sitter, Mollie and her family was AMAZING, Nala had a great time. She provided care for nala like she was her own, kept me updated and communication was great. I Will definitely book Mollie again. She was awesome! Thanks again!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Michael and Rambo are great! Michael is great with dogs of all energy levels and personalities. Our dog got plenty of playtime and love while there, and we loved the daily photos. We recommend and will use again! Thank you!”
“After having a family emergency, I had reached out in extremely short notice to see if Lianna could watch my one year old pup for two nights. She gladly accepted and assured me he was in good care upon drop off. Lianna was great about sending pictures and videos of Zyon which brought more reassurance. Overall would rate this a great experience and I will definitely be sending my puppy back.”

We provide a safe, comfortable, dog-friendly home where every pup is treated with patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, playing, or going for walks, we’ll do our best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel right at home.

“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Angela was such a great dog sitter- she and Kona made Honey feel right at home while I was away! She was willing to be flexible with me and my hectic schedule and sent lots of updates and pics throughout the stay! 10/10”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“I felt completely at ease leaving my dog here! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly care for the pets they host. I received regular updates and photos, which made me so comfortable while I was away. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind they gave me—will definitely book again!”

We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for pets now is second nature. I raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with everything from potty training and basic commands to daily excersise, enrichment, and routine care. As a marathon runner, I am especially well suited for active and high energy dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, runs, hikes, or plenty of playtime, I am happy to help them get the excerise and attention they need. I also grew up with two family dogs and currently help care for my roommates cat, so I am comfortable with different personalties, energy levels, and care needs. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and reptiles. At one point, I was responsible for 8 pets at the same time, which taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and reliable when managing multiple feeding schedules, cleaning routines, and individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving and capable hands. I am currently on summer break from UC Davis and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pets routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I will be extremely thorough and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, excersise, training, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure at all times, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.
About: Growing up in a rural environment with many kinds of animals has given me a unique perspective on connecting with them. I fed, cared for and played with many dogs and cats at one time and over a great many years. I look forward to treating your pet with the greatest of care and respect!
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand their needs for a fun, caring and safe environment. I’m confident to be a reliable pet sitter for ur furry friend. I have my own best friend who loves belly rubs so I can say I’m an expert on bully rubs and having a good time . I’m currently a college student who has a good amount of free time for walks and care. My morning work best but afternoon are great as well. Whether I'm in my own home or theirs, I maintain a clean and safe environment. I’ll always make sure to get details from owners about the needs and preferences their pets have.
“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”

About: I’ve have had pets for all my life ( from big dogs to small teacups)! I have two babies , a maltipoo named Beaux and a Maltese/ Shitszu named Summer. Both dogs had puppies In October 2024, thank I helped care for and sold along with my mom. Can’t wait to spend time and care for your pets ! I am free on weeknights because I work during the day until 5pm and open on weekends from 7am to 7pm! Cancellations - 24 hour notice preferably! My dogs eat at a certain time and I ensure that their water is refilled daily. I clean their pause and ensure no hazardous grass or items are stuck on their fur. My babies get lots of hugs, kisses, and rubs.
About: I’ve had pets since as long as I could remember. Right now, I have 3 babies that are my whole world. My dog, Chloe, is 17yrs and she’s been in my life since I was 6 years old. My rabbit, Eevee, was dumped and abandoned at a nearby field, and I found her while on a walk. She’s been with me for nearly 3yrs now. Then came my cat, Ponyo, and I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she will be 3yrs in July. I have always loved animals more than people, even more than myself, to be honest. I see every single pet, even ones that aren’t mine, as family, and equally deserving of love and respect. Update: My baby Chloe has recently passed and I am extremely heartbroken. She was my soulmate. I miss her everyday. Grief is love with nowhere to go. If given the opportunity to care for your pet I would not only be helping you but you would be helping me as well. My biggest and only responsibilities are my own little ones, so I am always at home caring for them. I struggle with my mental and physical health, so most regular jobs can be a bit too much pressure on me. I have 3 very different pets in my home that each have different needs. My dog being a senior means I have to pay extra attention to her and be diligent with her care. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling different types of animals of all ages.
About: I’m a true animal lover, they have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to parakeets and fish. Dogs have held a special place in my heart for over 20 years, and the bond I’ve shared with my own has taught me just how deeply pets feel love, patience, and consistency. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who may need extra care, medications, or a little more tenderness and attention. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Clear communication helps ensure the best experience for everyone, so I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are accurate and that you let me know as soon as possible if plans change. Drop-off and pick-up hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Please note: For the safety, comfort, and happiness of all pets, dogs in my care must be fully house-trained and get along very well with other dogs. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend lots of one-on-one time with them. I love giving plenty of cuddles, playtime, and gentle exercise, making sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and love taking dogs on easy, enjoyable walks through calm streets or over to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully. Above all, I focus on keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and happy, making sure they feel loved and well cared for the whole time they’re with me. 🐾

“Denise was great! She took good care of my pup, playing with her and taking her on walks. I will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her! Great service!”
About: Hello there! My husband, two kids, and I live in East Long Beach. Feel free to send me a message to see what we can schedule! Thank you for your time! I currently work part-time from home. My kids (ages 6 & 11) love animals too and they help me out with routine, safety, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. We are great at following each pet's routine closely based on the owner's instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, light exercise, and any medications as directed. We make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for during each visit, clean up after meals or play, and provide photos so owners know their pet is doing well.
“Ash is an amazing dog sitter and we’re repeat visitors of her service. She always takes plenty of photos for us and we can tell that our pup Maple enjoys her stays. Ash is also patient with my helicopter mom requests and always makes me feel comfortable that Maple is good hands. I highly recommend Ash’s services!”
“We are so happy to have found someone aside from family to help watch our very energetic peachy girl. It was a last minute booking and Maritza made us feel comfortable and secure that we could trust her with the care of peaches. We got lots of videos and pictures to make us feel at eases. Definitely plan to book with Maritza again. Picking up our girl she was happy and didn’t want to leave that Alone was enough for us to know she felt safe.”
“Poppy enjoyed her stay with Ximina and the other pups that were there. It was so nice for me to have a little downtime and do some shopping. But mostly it was wonderful knowing that Poppy was well taken care of.”
“We absolutely loved Angie! As a first time fur mommy I had never experienced leaving my puppy anywhere. She’s used to be only with my daughter and I and honestly I think she didn’t miss us! Angie’s family took her in with much love. She constantly sent videos and pictures that made me smile and feel comfortable knowing Latte was well taken care of. Wish Angie much success in what she does because she’s great. I had her with daycare and became overnight which happened out of a family emergency and Angie was extremely accommodating. Can’t wait to book again her!”
“Marby is an excellent sitter! Every time I pick up my baby, she is happy, content, and well cared for. I especially appreciate how Marby keeps me updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so grateful for the care, attention she provides. I truly appreciate knowing my baby is in good hands, and I will definitely continue booking with Marby! 🤍”
“Sophia came for a first visit and had a great time. Amy her host communicated well and provided updates throughout. Sophia hadn’t been with a dog sitter for over one month but seemed happy when we picked her up. We will definitely come back again!”
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with Golden Retrievers, several cats, and my family always fostered dogs in need. I am very passionate about animals and will do all I can to provide for them and respect their needs. I currently work a full time job during the weekdays, but my evenings and weekends are free. This still allows me to check on your animals, go on long walks, and provide any additional play or cuddle time. I live in a house with a spacious backyard that my own pup loves to relax in. I also live by several parks that are great walks for some exercise.
“Marina has been absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies I highly recommend Marina. My puppy pretzel, isn’t very social, and when I brought her to Marina’s house for a meet up, she wasn’t initially friendly towards the other dogs. However, Marina patiently worked with pretzel and carefully introduced her to the group. I am impressed by Marina’s ability to create a calm and welcoming environment. She is incredibly patient, caring, and always goes the extra mile to help. She’s also flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help! On top of that, her rates are very reasonable!”
“Brittanie is a total pro! Attentive and shows a lot of care. It was Dino and Daisy’s first time doing daycare and she made the process seamless. She sent lots of photos throughout the day which were so cute! Highly recommend :)”

“Jacquelyne was fantastic! Super friendly and communicated often with pictures and notes. Her 2 dogs were extremely friendly to our Teddy and I'm so glad he made new friends today with them! Couldnt recommend her more for excellent care!”
About: We have both had dogs almost all of our lives. We have experience with puppies, young dogs, middle aged dogs and seniors. Having recently lost our last one (a Malti-Tzu) at the age of 15, we have even more senior experience, including injections, picky eaters, giving meds (pills, drops, foams, sprays, etc). One of us is almost always home, so your dog/s will usually have someone there giving them love and attention. We live in a quiet neighborhood with good sidewalks to get some good sniffs and walks in too. Working from home gives us plenty of time with your dog. Occasionally we will need to go run errands or to an appointment, so your dog would not be alone long, if that happens to overlap. We get up somewhat early, between 6-7:30 am, and can walk your dog/s then, and as needed throughout the day, along with a longer daily walk if your pup needs it, and then an evening walk around 8:00 pm, or whatever your dogs needs are. We like to tailor our care to your dog’s needs, be it more active and wanting more play time and walks, or more downtime and cuddles. We have dog beds, dog bowls, and general dog supplies, and just enjoy being with them and making them happy…and maybe even a little spoiling :)

“Brittany was delightful to work with….prior to finalizing the booking we did a meet and greet and that allowed us to quickly see how natural she was with our pup, Reggie. Reggie immediately responded in a very positive manner to Brittany. Brittany’s own dog was mellow and good with Reggie. The day we dropped Reggie off, as soon as I got her out of the car she headed right for Brittany’s front door! Brittany is enthusiastic and caring, and put us at ease that we made the right decision choosing her, we will be rebooking with her soon! One last thing Brittany is great at communicating and sent multiple pictures to us of Reggie. Thanks Brittany see you again soon.”
About: I had a Husky that I cared for for 3 years before I moved away from home. I really miss having a furry buddy around, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, keep them company, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m available most weekdays and weekends depending on the booking. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their routine, keep a close eye on them, and give them plenty of attention and love

“Denise is an excellent dog walker. She showed up everyday. Kept in close contact and sent a ton of pictures. She is reliable and truly does care about dogs. This is my second vacation that I booked with her and my next one I will most definitely be reaching out to her. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an awesome dog walker!”

About: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 10, 5 and 2. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs. Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.

About: When I was born my family already had 2 cats and 2 dogs. Once they passed we got two more cats and 2 more dogs. Since then we’ve gotten a few more cats that were strays and needed a home. I love to care for pets because they’re always there when I need them. I work part-time so it is easy for me to find time to care for animals.

About: I’ve always been the one for my family and friends to call when they need someone to care for their dog.

I will keep detailed notes on each dog and exactly what they need. I don’t take pet sitting lightly and I feel lucky to have gained pet parents’ trust when asked to watch their pets. I have so much love for dogs, I hope I’m lucky enough to watch your fur baby. I can make morning calls during the week any time after 8:30am. I’m free all day during the weekends. I can do overnights with 24 hour notice. I will strictly follow the client’s routine with sitting in their home. I know how crucial that routine is to pets. I will not be all routine and no play though. I’ll make sure to have fun interactive things to keeps the pets happy while tiring them out for a goodnight’s sleep.

About: I’ve had pets since as long as I could remember. Right now, I have 3 babies that are my whole world. My dog, Chloe, is 17yrs and she’s been in my life since I was 6 years old. My rabbit, Eevee, was dumped and abandoned at a nearby field, and I found her while on a walk. She’s been with me for nearly 3yrs now. Then came my cat, Ponyo, and I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she will be 3yrs in July. I have always loved animals more than people, even more than myself, to be honest. I see every single pet, even ones that aren’t mine, as family, and equally deserving of love and respect. Update: My baby Chloe has recently passed and I am extremely heartbroken. She was my soulmate. I miss her everyday. Grief is love with nowhere to go. If given the opportunity to care for your pet I would not only be helping you but you would be helping me as well. My biggest and only responsibilities are my own little ones, so I am always at home caring for them. I struggle with my mental and physical health, so most regular jobs can be a bit too much pressure on me. I have 3 very different pets in my home that each have different needs. My dog being a senior means I have to pay extra attention to her and be diligent with her care. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling different types of animals of all ages.
About: I’m a true animal lover, they have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to parakeets and fish. Dogs have held a special place in my heart for over 20 years, and the bond I’ve shared with my own has taught me just how deeply pets feel love, patience, and consistency. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who may need extra care, medications, or a little more tenderness and attention. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Clear communication helps ensure the best experience for everyone, so I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are accurate and that you let me know as soon as possible if plans change. Drop-off and pick-up hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Please note: For the safety, comfort, and happiness of all pets, dogs in my care must be fully house-trained and get along very well with other dogs. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend lots of one-on-one time with them. I love giving plenty of cuddles, playtime, and gentle exercise, making sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and love taking dogs on easy, enjoyable walks through calm streets or over to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully. Above all, I focus on keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and happy, making sure they feel loved and well cared for the whole time they’re with me. 🐾

“Laura and her husband truly go above and beyond when caring for our dog. This was our dog’s second time staying with Laura and it was over the holiday weekend. Laura eased my worries I had about the neighborhood fireworks that could possibly stress out my dog and she assured me that there would be classical music played for my dog to create a more comfortable environment. Laura always sends daily updates and pictures which I really appreciate. I always know my fur baby is receiving the upmost care and love. I will absolutely be reaching out to Laura again for future dog care!”
“Brittanie was sweet, took care of my Shay, and made sure she got her walks in. Shay enjoyed being able to hang out in the backyard with the other pups. It was helpful to have a sitter in close proximity to Long Beach Airport; I would definitely use again.”
“Marlo is always amazing with Rufus. He has been with her several times now and she always updates me consistently with picture. I will continue to use her until she says no”
“Moose (4yr old male goldendoodle) always has a great time under the care of Maritza. Martitza is gentle with Moose and provides me with updates and pictures/videos throughout the day. Moose gets to relax and play with other pups and is always meeting new friends. Moose and I are truly grateful!”
“It was our first time getting a sitter, Mollie and her family was AMAZING, Nala had a great time. She provided care for nala like she was her own, kept me updated and communication was great. I Will definitely book Mollie again. She was awesome! Thanks again!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Michael and Rambo are great! Michael is great with dogs of all energy levels and personalities. Our dog got plenty of playtime and love while there, and we loved the daily photos. We recommend and will use again! Thank you!”
“After having a family emergency, I had reached out in extremely short notice to see if Lianna could watch my one year old pup for two nights. She gladly accepted and assured me he was in good care upon drop off. Lianna was great about sending pictures and videos of Zyon which brought more reassurance. Overall would rate this a great experience and I will definitely be sending my puppy back.”

“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“I felt completely at ease leaving my dog here! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly care for the pets they host. I received regular updates and photos, which made me so comfortable while I was away. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind they gave me—will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth, and have always had a few dogs my whole life. We fell in love with English Bulldogs and I specialize in bulldog care. But I absolutely love all dogs! I can administer medication, give baths, and troubleshoot any issues that might occur. What to expect: I will treat your fur baby exactly as you would, I will follow directions exactly as you give them. They’ll be treated with love and care. If you book for drop in care, I’ll be sure to give them lots of attention before I leave and make sure all their needs are taken care of before I leave.

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
About: We have both had dogs almost all of our lives. We have experience with puppies, young dogs, middle aged dogs and seniors. Having recently lost our last one (a Malti-Tzu) at the age of 15, we have even more senior experience, including injections, picky eaters, giving meds (pills, drops, foams, sprays, etc). One of us is almost always home, so your dog/s will usually have someone there giving them love and attention. We live in a quiet neighborhood with good sidewalks to get some good sniffs and walks in too. Working from home gives us plenty of time with your dog. Occasionally we will need to go run errands or to an appointment, so your dog would not be alone long, if that happens to overlap. We get up somewhat early, between 6-7:30 am, and can walk your dog/s then, and as needed throughout the day, along with a longer daily walk if your pup needs it, and then an evening walk around 8:00 pm, or whatever your dogs needs are. We like to tailor our care to your dog’s needs, be it more active and wanting more play time and walks, or more downtime and cuddles. We have dog beds, dog bowls, and general dog supplies, and just enjoy being with them and making them happy…and maybe even a little spoiling :)
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for many years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I spend plenty of time at home. Therefore, my availability for boarding your pet is flexible. I have a fenced yard and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will supervise your pets and will follow the owner’s instructions.
About: We have two dogs who are so loved. They are both great socialized dogs. We also have two kiddos (9 and 11) who LOVE animals. Someone is typically always home, and the dogs get a lot of attention here because of it. Dogs are given a lot of attention in our home. We have a doggy door too so they can come in and out at their leisure. I have a fenced in yard, a doggy door, and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I also have two animal loving kids who smother dogs with lots of love and attention.
