“Tbh she makes me feel like I’m with my dog just without the responsibilities. She takes great care of him as if he is her own. Can’t express how grateful we are to have found her. Both the puppy and us have a great experience every single time!!!! Totally recommend her hands down.”
“Elaine and Issy were amazing with our dogs. I felt so at ease knowing my doggies were in good hands. They consistently sent us photos of our fur babies and kept us up to date. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future.”
“Katherine and John took such good care of Nala. They shared pictures while I was away and Nala looked very happy! I will definitely use them again. It’s such a relief to find people you can trust leaving your pet with.”
“Great sitter for my dogs. This is my second time using him. I moved to San Diego and found Ronald when I was leaving .Los Angeles. Glad I kept his profile. I have 4 dogs and Ronald kept them all at the last minute for the Easter weekend .”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Edwin and Jenn are amazing! They were so patient with our dog, Bailey, and incredibly easy to communicate with. They were open to doing a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us feel confident that Bailey would be in great hands. This was our first time leaving Bailey with anyone outside of family for more than a couple of days, and we genuinely never had to worry while we were traveling. They kept us at ease and updated the entire time. They were also very accommodating and flexible with both pick-up and drop-off. On top of that, their pups are so sweet and super friendly. We highly recommend them!”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Words cannot properly describe how awesome Lori is. My dog is young and has many personality and behavioral challenges. Lori cared for her for 60 hours straight. She is patient. She walked the dog even in the rainy weather. She taught my dog new habits and games. She stayed positive even though my dog wasn’t on her best behavior. My dog was thoroughly loved by Lori and her whole family despite the behavioral challenges. I am so very grateful for Lori. Thank you!”
“Nick and Cora were great with our chow chow. They took him for many walks and kept him company. They were great for me too, sending many pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing. Six stars!”
“A fantastic sitter! He made sure to send check ups, as requested, to ease me from leaving my fur pup with him. Once I picked up my furry baby, I could tell he was so tired from a long day of fun, when he is usually overflowing with energy. So glad to have found Jon and will keep using him for all our puppy babysitting needs.”
“Kyle was amazing with our puppy Lofi!!!!!! I cannot overstate how well he took care of her. She was so happy to be there. We got frequent pictures (all of which we saved because duh!!) and she got great socialization opportunities as an 8 month old. We have utmost trust in Kyle and will be coming back whenever we can’t bring our little loaf with us. We are so impressed and thankful we met you!”
“This was Lolly’s 2nd time staying with Karina, but her first extended stay and she had an amazing time! Karina always keeps you updated with several photos each day and let’s you know about any concerns she might have or funny stories about your dog’s day. I will continue to book with Karina for any dog sitting needs I might have. So very thankful to have found a sitter so friendly, detail oriented, and as caring as she is.”
“Lulu loved her 2+ week stay with Ziya. It showed through the photos where she was hanging with her new dog friends and even cuddling on the couch with humans. Lulu isn’t much of a cuddler yet she has been since she got home! Lulu found a new home when we’re out of town and definitely will be back with Ziya in the future!”
“Our nervous little dog felt right at home with Miyabi. She usually doesn't eat when she's not with us, but she seems to really like Miyabi and ate her meals thanks to Miyabi's patience and kindness.”
“Jess & Max were amazing sitters and very accommodating! We received updates throughout the day on our pup’s progress and ensured that his first sitter experience was nothing short of great!”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Ginny was AWESOME! Lisa cat is not especially social, but Ginny managed to engage with her during our nine days away and sent lots of fun pics. The house was well cared for and mail and packages picked up daily. I hope to use Ginny every time we travel!!”
“Carissa is always awesome! We use her every time we are gone and my kitty just loves her. She is thorough, thoughtful and just so loving with our kitty. She even helped out our kitty with an ant issue in her food while we were gone. She took care of the mess and moved it all for her so that she would still be able to eat her food without the ants in them. So thankful!! She is wonderful!”
“Mars is amazing! She took great care of our two kitties, Cappuccino and Croissant, and sent us photos every day. Croissant has diabetes and needs two insulin injections per day. Mars always showed up on time and gave Croissant the right care he needed. Besides, Mars was so kind to take Croissant to the vet when the glucose monitor sensor stopped working. She really gave us peace of mind while we were away on trip and we really appreciate it!”
“Diana was wonderful with our two cats during our 6 days trip. She was reliable, caring, and made sure they were happy, well fed, and comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind.”
“Aileen did an awesome job taking care of my cat Luna when I was gone overseas for a month! She is communicative and follows instructions -- definitely would recommend! Thanks so much Aileen!”
“This is the second time Carolyn has taken care of our cats and she’s the best! She is always on time, sends thorough updates and plenty of photos! My cats feel at ease with her, enjoy her company and it gives me peace of mind that they are well taken care of. I highly recommend Carolyn.”
“Courtney was truly amazing!!!! I trusted her from the beginning in my home. She went above and beyond for my kitties. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties with her. Definitely will rebook with Courtney only!!!!! If you need someone reliable, trustworthy and so kind, BOOK WITH HER!!!”
About: I have 15+ years of cat-sitting experience. My current cat has dietary needs for her health, so I am very good at giving medications and following instructions! I absolutely love spending time with cats and would love to work for you!
“Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!”
“Alexa was very quick to respond to my booking request and made the process easy and seamless. She followed the instructions I left for my 2 cats and took very good care of them. She even swept the floors and wiped countertops which is so considerate and makes coming home feel even nicer. I have already booked with her for my next trip!”
“Caitlin was great in doing our cat “drop in” visits. Followed directions and played with the kitties. Very reliable, followed directions, and had great communication. She sent us such cute pictures of the kitties while we were away. Would hire again!”
“Raelynne did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet little kitty. She sent us a photo update everyday and kept us informed on how he was doing while we were away. Also when we returned, the house was even cleaner than when we left it. Great experience overall :)”
“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my entire like. I’m a proud cat owner for the past three years where I have full experience taking care of cats. Also, I often take care of my mother in law’s cat as needed. I’m excited to make new cat friends!
“Sydney was awesome with our 7-month-old kitten for twice daily hour-long visits while we were away for a few days! We had a nice meet and greet before booking and felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She is very communicative and easy to connect with, she shared great updates with every visit and lots of great pictures and videos of our cat playing ☺️ We’d highly recommend her for catsitting!!!”

“Laura was awesome. I had not planned well and I needed a pet sitter at the (very) last minute. And she was a total heroine and helped me out. Thank you Larua!”
“Sheila is absolutely wonderful! She provides such a loving and welcoming environment for my puppy, including plenty of fun with her three beautiful dogs. The care he receives is truly top-notch, and he always comes home exhausted after a full day of playing! Sheila also keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, so I get to see all the fun he’s having. She has truly been a lifesaver, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care she provides!”
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Kyle was wonderful from start to finish! He took his time to speak to us about his past experiences and how he sets up his home to properly care for the dogs Kyle was prompt at every pick up in the mornings and set us several photos during Kona’s stay with him. Thank you, Kyle!!”
“This was “Kobe’s” second time staying with Elaine. I knew I had made the right choice because when I dropped him off, he recognized the place and got super excited, like when we go to the dog park or the dog beach. Elaine and her husband are wonderful dog sitters, and I’m very pleased with their doggie hospitality.”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“Kimberly was awesome! She was very accommodating to my last minute request for a sitter. She sent plenty of photos and updates of my puppy and took her on 3 big walks! I love that she has a fenced yard for my dog to run around in. My pup came home very tired, which is a great indicator that she had a fun day. I will definitely use Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“We were so lucky to find Samantha on Rover. Our 90lb puppy had minor stitches so during the day we needed someone to watch him to make sure he didn’t mess with his injury. We got way more than that - Duke was walked, watched and spoiled. He came home tired 🙏 and happy. Highly recommend”
“Five stars—no hesitation. Christy adores dogs, especially golden retrievers. We left our golden pup, Honey, with her for one day while we hit Disneyland. When we returned Honey had several new BFFs: Christy and her canine savvy family, with couch-snuggle photos as proof; and Phoebe (Christy’s own golden retriever). Christy’s day plan nailed all Honey's need—timed meals and potty breaks along with the perfect play–nap balance. Christy sent updates and snapshots, so we stayed relaxed and guilt free at the park. I had zero pet-parent stress. When I picked up Honey she trotted out tail-wagging, paws dragging, slightly heavier (treats happen!) and blissfully wiped out. We all slept like babies after our day at Disneyland, including the dog. Safe arms, golden fluency, endless love—Christy is our go-to sitter. Book Christy—your retriever will thank you!”
“Can't recommend Emily highly enough, not only does she love my boys as if they were her own - she has bailed me out of unexpected scheduling changes on several occasions. She's also wonderfully communicative with photos and videos every day. Probably the strongest endorsement I could give are the wagging tails when my boys see her - happy butts don't lie!”
“Amazing! He said my puppy was going to be his first! From start to finish, he responded quick, very friendly. I could tell that my puppy had a lot of fun because she got home and she went straight to bed. On the other hand, I had a big issue, I had a flat tire in the middle of the road while taking Schatzi to his house and I let him know and he offered to pick Schatzi up. Another huge plus. He offered to help me out with my flat tire, he put my spare tire so I could go to the tire shop. I am really grateful to have met him. I could tell that he was wonderful with my baby. Thank you again!”
“Absolutely amazing. She was so good with my husky girl. Nala was exhausted when I picked her up. Which is rare for a husky haha. Will be booking again weekly if possible”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them! I grew up with a loving family dog, which taught me the importance of patience, care, and understanding a pup’s unique personality. Now, as a young adult, I have my own sweet dog who is almost 2 years old. I know firsthand what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I work from home Monday through Friday, which means I’m available throughout the day to care for your pup. From playtime to outdoor walks, I’ll be there to keep them happy, active, and comfortable whenever they need me! Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m always nearby to meet their needs. I also live in a safe, pet-friendly residential area with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces, making walks both enjoyable and secure. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like family while they’re in my care! My dog is also crate trained, potty trained and gentle.
About: I've always known I was an animal person! I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was 5 years old — 7 family cats and 5 family dogs throughout the years — so I'm familiar with every stage, from puppy and kitten energy all the way through senior care. Personally, I have 3 wonderful pups of my own. We're an active household: we walk every day and make sure to play and engage with them throughout the day, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. As someone with three dogs of my own, it's important to me to provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pups. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be looked after just as they would be in your own home with the same patience, attention, and love. I am present full time for your pup! Care fits right into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed in around it, so your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day. After I have a better understanding of your pup's routine we'll go on walks, play in our fenced front and back yard with lots of grass to enjoy, and I'll send you pics and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing. For rest and downtime, we have a private, dog-friendly ADU set up specifically for our furry guests to decompress after play and meals. I'm present in the ADU with them, and we also have a Furbo camera set up for extra monitoring. If your pup enjoys canine company, my Australian Shepherd will keep them company there; if your pup prefers to be the only dog, we'll give them their own separated space and time instead, tailored to what makes them most comfortable. Throughout the day, care naturally rotates between active time outside and quiet time in the ADU, so your pup gets a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest with me nearby the whole time. Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.

About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have house sat for many friends. I’m a recent former veterinary assistant with 6 years of clinical and hospital experience. I understand dog and cat behavior and have studied under amazing veterinarians, so I feel confident I can treat your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I can give medications depending on the pet’s temperament but will do my best. :)
“I cannot recommend Camille enough, she is a great walker/sitter. From day one, she treated my pet like family. I always felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was safe, loved, and well cared for. She. Is reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and peace of mind every single time. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pet, this is the one!”
About: Hey there, my name is Molly and I would love to help out walking and caring for your dog. I am very active outdoors and enjoy walking dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, two medium sized german shepherds. I have a 4 year old Doberman of my own who I love and care for very much. I am already very familiar with the area and know safe places for dog walks. I am a caring person and love all animals and you can trust me to take great care of your pet. In the past I have watched and walked all sorts of dog breeds, ranging from small to large and am very comfortable with it. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you! I’m currently working part time and have time to walk your pets and watch them if needed. Thank you so much and hope to help y'all out! I am a very active person and walk my dog regularly, so I would love to take your dog on adventures. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes as well. Also if you have a reactive dog don’t hesitate to reach out, I am comfortable with all pups.
“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”
About: I grew up with a dog in the house, and have also become a cat mom! I am more than happy to provide your pet with love and care while you are away. No dog too big or too small for me! My schedule is fairly flexible and fluctuates so I am usually available when most people are at work, which hopefully is ideal for you! I love being outdoors and surrounding myself in nature. I would be more than happy to have your pet with me for a walk and picnic in the park.
“First time using Rover for dog walks and was lucky to find Tanner. He was really great with working with us on our last minute booking to walk Duke for a few days. After years of using Wag! decided to give Rover a shot and we were not disappointed. Duke had a great time and we will definitely book Tanner again. Thank Tanner!!!”
“My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized attention I give every pet. I’ve cared for a Mini Goldendoodle since puppyhood and have experience with breeds of different sizes and personalities, including German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience while keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m a very active person. I enjoy long walks, have trained for half marathons, and love spending time outdoors at places like the beach and parks. I’m fully available and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule around pet care needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply spending time with pets, I genuinely enjoy incorporating it into my day and staying active while caring for animals. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure they are well-fed, have fresh water, and are cared for throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and potty breaks, keeping them active and hydrated, and spending time playing with them, like throwing the ball or engaging in interactive play. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I always take time for cuddles and attention so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
“Cannot recommend Jordan enough! She was so responsive to a last-minute request and reschedule, which made the booking process easy. She also was great to Alfie and so considerate of his love for squirrels on walks + making sure he had plenty of water before she left. Thank you, Jordan!!!”
About: I grew up with two dogs, 4 cats, and pet sat for neighbors and friends. I currently have a cat who doesn't like other animals, so I would be more than happy to spend time with your animals! I am very active and love being outside, so walks with your pets would be lovely! I'm currently available all day on Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I have class on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the morning, but could fit in some afternoon sessions! I take dogs on walks, brush pets, feed pets as instructed by the owner, play with animals, pick up waste, take pets outside as instructed, and put pets in kennels if needed.
“Alexa was great with our pups! They came back from their walk incredibly happy and I recieved great pictures of them while they were on their adventure. Would highly recommend Alexa!”
“Joanne was amazing! She was able to help us out last minute when our other walkers weren't available. She was thoughtful and took careful notes so she wouldn't miss any details. While we were away, she took great care of our little guy and sent us regular messages to keep us updated. We look forward to using Joanne again in the future. Thank you!”
“Carissa was our first dog walker for our 6month old golden retriever puppy Ruby. Carissa made us instantly feel comfortable about the process upon meeting her. She spent the time to understand Ruby’s routine with us and sent lots of updates on there walks. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again. Plus our Ruby loved her!”
“Kady did great on her first walk with my Cane Corso! Handled him really well and kept him happy and calm. Super patient and easy to work with, can’t wait to have her walk him again!”
“Judy was fantastic! She was able to take our booking short-notice (late at night for the following morning) and visit with and feed and walk our dog. She was prompt with her replies and on time for her visit. She gave us some great suggestions regarding our dog’s diet and we could immediately tell how such she cared for and loved animals. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I have two dogs and one cat currently but three cats in the past! I love all animals and feel connected towards them. I have been working specifically dog walking and sitting for about two years on apps like wag. I am a psychology major and want to work with service animals in the future! I am in school finishing up my degree and minor and mostly do online. I want to work with service animals so dog walking and sitting is a perfect way to gain experience and knowledge on all different kinds of animals and breeds. I care immensely and treats all animals like my own. I want people to be able to feel comfortable with me around their animals and inside their home. I know it takes a lot of trust and vulnerability to let someone you don’t personally know inside your home, so i want to make the experience for everyone as easy as possible. I like to give updates and response quickly to pet parents.

“Allen was very professional and cordial. He was very open with communication and vibed with our dogs. I would recommend him to anyone that expects the level of care our furry family members deserve.”

We will definitely book Laura in the future.”

Lulu isn’t much of a cuddler yet she has been since she got home! Lulu found a new home when we’re out of town and definitely will be back with Ziya in the future!”

Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.
“What a wonderful host! As a fellow DogVacay sitter, I know that some dogs have difficult behaviors- mine is no exception! Harley is a consummate professional, and put us at ease immediately. She was extremely kind and had obviously made our dog, kona, part of the family. Excellent communication throughout and we felt very happy leaving kona in her care. Thank you Harley and family!”
“Brandon took amazing care our 3 year-old Boxer mix, Deebo. He kept us constantly updated with many pictures. I will definitely rebook with Brandon in the near future. Thank you for taking care of Deebo!”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”
“Knox absolutely loved his time with Brian!! I sincerely appreciate how well he took care of my little buddy. And all of the pictures and videos Knox looked like he was having the best time!”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
