“I highly recommend Anton as a sitter. We left our dog, Frankie with him for about 3 days and he was amazing. He provided regular updates. We have left our dogs with other sitters before but with Anton we never had to worry about how our dog was doing because he sent updates multiple times a day and this allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any stress. He was so easy to work with and flexible with the pick up and drop off times when we wanted to drop off or pick up early. We will definitely use him again as long as he will have us!”

“We are incredibly grateful to Sujit for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Zooco while we were away on a longer vacation. As repeat clients, we already knew Zooco would be in good hands—but once again, Sujit exceeded our expectations. He gave Zooco not just the essentials, but the affection, attention, and routine that made him feel at home even in our absence. Sujit kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and messages that Zooco was happy, well-exercised, and loved. We returned to a healthy, joyful dog who was clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Sujit to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver. Thank you again, Sujit, for loving Zooco like your own!”


“Cristal is absolutely amazing. I don’t think my baby even wanted to leave 😅 benji got to make some friends, taken on walks and lots of play time. Cristal sent me pictures and updates the entire time, and I can 100% say me and Benji both were very comfortable and will be back 😄”

“We had to board our beloved Coco for the very first time, and naturally we were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. From the moment we met Merilu, she made us feel comfortable and reassured that Coco would be in good hands. Merilu and her family took exceptional care of Coco and truly treated her like one of their own. They happily accommodated all of our requests, including not using a cage and allowing Coco to sleep on the bed, which meant a lot to us since Coco has never been crated. Throughout Coco’s stay, we received regular updates with photos and videos every day, along with quick responses whenever we had questions. Seeing Coco happy, playful, and comfortable gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Coco up, she looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely happy, which says everything about the love and care she received. It’s clear that Merilu has a true passion for animals and provides a safe, loving home rather than just a boarding service. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Coco received and wouldn’t hesitate to trust Merilu again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with love, patience, and genuine affection, I highly recommend Merilu. Thank you for making Coco’s first boarding experience such a positive and stress-free one for both Coco and our family!”

“Shirley and her family were so kind and took very good care of our senior girl. I appreciated the photos and videos of Fox getting attention and cuddles. It was as if Fox went on her own vacation while we went away. Thank you!!”

“Dipankar and Nagma were wonderful with our 2-year-old GSD. They kept us updated with photos all day and gave us a full report at pickup. Our dog clearly loved them—he even tried to follow Nagma back inside when we were leaving! An amazing experience. Thank you both!"”

“We felt very reassured that Osler was in capable hands during his stay. Kent is very knowledgeable about pet care and cares a great deal about them. Our dog is older and is timid, but acclimated to Kent’s pack very well. We would not hesitate to have Kent care for Osler for longer periods of time in the future.”

“My dog Badger had an amazing time! Ishwori and her husband were so loving, caring and patient with him. I received constant updates and pictures. I can truly tell when picking him up that he enjoyed himself and was still giving dog kisses as we were leaving. I will definitely be using their services again if they are willing! Thank you so much for your care and time.”

“Biswas was great with the pups and seems to be confident with all types of dogs. The environment was very relaxed and he took his time introducing all the dogs. He’s got a nice yard where they can lounge around and sends pics and videos. My dogs are high anxiety and I appreciated all the care he took to ensure everyone was relaxed and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Punam and family have boarded Nico a few times and each time I’m able to relax knowing he’s in good hands. They provide regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay and treat Nico like he’s one of the family. I will continue to board with Punam for as long as they’ll have Nico. 😊”

“Allison has watched our dog Buddy twice now and both times have been amazing. She is super easy to communicate with and is very accommodating. She even went out of her way to replace Buddy’s toy that he chewed to shreds while he was there. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve had on Rover so far. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs had a great time with Cindy!! We received pictures and/or videos daily. We were so pleased with how well she took care of them. They enjoyed time at the dog park and snuggles with her. The dogs told us they want to go back to her next time we go on vacation ?”


“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”

“We found Anu after finding out our current dog sitter moved away. She took our dog in last minute and we were able to go on our trip feeling confident our dog will be taken care of. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times and replied to our messages quickly. She updated us daily on how our dog is doing by sending us pictures and videos. She was gentle and patient with our dog, even when he was a little anxious. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. I would highly recommend contacting Anu for your dog sitting needs.”

“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Shauna took great care of my baby! I think my dog thought I paid to send her to camp! She had a great time and had some new experiences meeting her horse, goat and chickens… and the great chicken race! Scarlett says thanks for the cuddles and making her feel like she was at home! We’ll be booking Shauna again!”


“Bonnie did a great job watching our Bailey for us while we were out of town. She has a nice home and great yard for small dogs. She was very responsible and prompt about communication. We look forward to baording with Bonnie in the future!”

“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”

“Carlos and his wife cared wonderfully for our two little girls. I was so hesitant to travel without them, but I knew plane travel would be so stressful for cats. Carlos regularly sent updates and pictures, letting us know how they were doing and how they were settling in. I am so glad they had fun at Camp Carlos while we were away, it was definitely much better for them then being boarded at a facility where they would be caged all day. He was flexible and super easy to work with to boot. Thank you Carlos for caring so well for our kitties while we were away!”

Then, when I got married I adopted another cat (Petunia) who I adore too. I learned so much about cats and learn many things I did not know before having one. This is because I used to take care of only dogs before. Cats are very unique creatures that deserve all of our respect and we should definitely learn more from them. I will take care of your cat like if it is my own. We truly need more sassiness in this home.

“Merilu was so wonderful for doggy day care for my dog! He stayed with her for three days when I had some long work days. He was so excited to see her after only the first day. It looked like he had fun with her cute bichon too. Highly recommend Merilu for day care!”

“Dominic was great with my pups, one of which is pathologically shy. A true dog whisperer. On time, personable, knowledgeable and professional and obviously someone who loves dogs and has their best interests at heart.”


About: I personally have 11 cats in our house and seven dogs. Most of the dogs are 30 pounds or less but we also have a golden retriever and a labrador. I have some experience giving medication but depends on how open your pet is to their meds. I currently work full time hours but have time for overnight stays on the weekends. I also have time for drop in/checkup visits and walks on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after 6pm. On Fridays I have time for drop in visits noon or later. Exact details can be discussed based on location. I only offer services in the comfort of your own home as I have too many animals at my house to make accommodations. Having your pet remain in your home will help them feel more at ease in your absence.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that are my fur babies! I’ve always had pets my entire life and love animals. Snuggles, playing, and belly rubs are a must! Your fur baby will be well taken care of while you are away! I currently work full time and have a special needs son that requires a lot of medical expenses so the extra income is needed. Evenings while the weather is cooler is ideal for walks and outside time. I can be available weekends as well! I will take great care of your pet while you’re away! Walks and playtime and snuggles are a must! I’ll make sure their food and water are filled and they’re happy!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. But, when I acquired more responsibilities was when I moved in with my sister to SoCal and I started helping her take care of her dogs, two schnauzers and one yorkie. I would take them hiking, walking, and to the grooming salon. I would buy them enrichment toys and play with them every evening. Then, when I moved to NorCal for school, I adopted a dog, a Labrador. Now, I do the same as before but with more mental and physical exercise since my dog requires it. Taking care of dogs has always been part of me, my grandma was the same and that’s something she gifted me. I enjoy every aspect of it and the responsibilities that come with it. Dogs are a big responsibility and I will make sure to take care of your doggy, as if it’s mine. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggy. Currently with Hunter we go out four times a day, two times for physical exercise and potty breaks and the other two times only for walks to go potty. Hunter loves to play fetch and hide and seek. We hide the ball and he searches for it, this is his favorite game and it works for mental and physical exercise. We are very active and we exercise Hunter a lot but if your doggy is not like that, no problem, we can go only for walks and Hunter can play by himself. I have a fenced yard and a catio (patio for cats) where my cats spend most of the day. Dogs don’t have access to the catio since that’s the cats safe place. Hunter and the cats get along but my cats don’t play much with hunter, they are very lazy and only care about sleeping, sunbathing, and wet food. Hunter is VERY friendly, the nicest dog I ever known and loves to play all the time. Hunter has been around dogs of multiple sizes and ages from a 10 year old yorkie to a 2 year old labrador. Hunter is not neutered but he is not aggressive and territorial other than marking plants and trees outside at the park.

About: For the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Animals have always been my greatest passion, and I have a natural, intuitive ability to connect with them—pets truly seem to navigate toward me and feel instantly safe in my presence. I currently work part-time at Starbucks, which gives me incredible schedule flexibility! I can easily adjust my hours to prioritize your pet's routine. Whether your furry friend needs early morning breakfast, mid-day potty breaks, or late-night cuddles, I can seamlessly plan my shifts around their specific needs. As a Starbucks barista, I am trained in high cleanliness standards, which I bring directly into my pet care. I am fully background-checked and deeply understand the responsibility of being trusted with your home and keys. Safety is my absolute priority for your pets and your home!

About: I used to have an auggie, which I sadly had to give away when we moved. He was very hyper and loved to play. I walked around the neighborhood with him, took him to the dog park - or played with him at home in order to tire him out. I am a college student currently taking online classes, I have plenty of time before or after class to take care of your furry companion(s) I like to make sure my own pets have a clean and comfortable environment, refilling and cleaning their food and water dishes as well as any litter. I also love to play with them and give em treats. I'll make sure to give your fur babies the same treatment!
About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!). One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.

I have experience in caring all kinds of animals, from rabbits, to birds to snakes. I love doing this because animals just bring me a lot of joy. I’m a very active person so I’m very good at taking care of very active pets. I’m an animal rights advocate so I will always treat pets with love and respect!. I’m currently self employed and make my own schedule. Whenever I have a booking I can dedicate my whole time to taking care of your pet and all their needs.

About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes
About: Animals are my pride and joy! I've cared for many different pets for about 15 years now. I grew up with cats, dogs, and many other species. Previously I've had a pitbull, and currently I have four cats! I also have fostered 12 kittens up to this point. I have already sat for dogs, cats, and bunnies. You can be confident that your pet is in the best hands and will receive top care, as caring for animals is my passion and pleasure:) Pet sitting and taking care of animals is my priority! Right now I only work part time but if anyone needs me to help out I’ll be there! I have four cats currently and I’ve had dogs.I’ve taken care of many other species and breeds for others as well so I am well versed in animal care. Whatever you need me to do as far as routine care I will do as well as give them all my love and attention. I can stay as many nights and days as you need!
About: Animals have been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always felt a special connection with cats, understanding their subtle language and mysterious energy. But my love for animals is not limited to them; I have also shared my life with dogs and all kinds of pets, learning to communicate with each one with respect, empathy and heart. I had the incredible experience of living in the jungle of Colombia, surrounded by nature and a great variety of living beings. There, I learned to observe, listen and feel the language of animals, understanding their emotions and needs in a deep and natural way. In addition, I have participated as a volunteer in adoption foundations, helping to find loving homes for rescued pets. I have also worked in the rehabilitation and care of animals with limited conditions, providing them with patience, love and the necessary support to improve their quality of life. Thanks to this connection and experience, I can offer conscious and personalized care, adapting to the personality and energy of each pet. Whether it's a shy cat that needs patience, an energetic dog that loves adventure, or any furry companion with special needs, I am committed to providing them with love, companionship, and security at all times. If you are looking for someone who will not only take care of your pet, but truly understand them and make them feel at peace, I am here to help! 🐾✨ I work part-time on different creative projects, which allows me to organize my time flexibly. This gives me the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to caring for pets when they are under my responsibility, making sure they receive all the attention, love and company they need. For me, caring for animals is not just a service, but a way to connect with them and share my energy and affection. My adaptable schedule allows me to adjust to the needs of each pet and its family, providing reliable and personalized care. Although I don't currently have pets with me, I have shared my life with cats and dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. When I care for pets in their owner's home, I respect their routine, their environment, and their individual needs. I make sure to follow their instructions to the letter so that the pet feels safe and in harmony. In addition, I focus on providing companionship, affection, and personalized attention, always maintaining open communication with the owners for their peace of mind. My priority is to create an environment of trust and well-being for each pet, making sure that they feel loved and cared for at all times.

“I highly recommend Anton as a sitter. We left our dog, Frankie with him for about 3 days and he was amazing. He provided regular updates. We have left our dogs with other sitters before but with Anton we never had to worry about how our dog was doing because he sent updates multiple times a day and this allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any stress. He was so easy to work with and flexible with the pick up and drop off times when we wanted to drop off or pick up early. We will definitely use him again as long as he will have us!”

“We are incredibly grateful to Sujit for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Zooco while we were away on a longer vacation. As repeat clients, we already knew Zooco would be in good hands—but once again, Sujit exceeded our expectations. He gave Zooco not just the essentials, but the affection, attention, and routine that made him feel at home even in our absence. Sujit kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and messages that Zooco was happy, well-exercised, and loved. We returned to a healthy, joyful dog who was clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Sujit to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver. Thank you again, Sujit, for loving Zooco like your own!”

“Dipankar and Nagma were wonderful with our 2-year-old GSD. They kept us updated with photos all day and gave us a full report at pickup. Our dog clearly loved them—he even tried to follow Nagma back inside when we were leaving! An amazing experience. Thank you both!"”

“We felt very reassured that Osler was in capable hands during his stay. Kent is very knowledgeable about pet care and cares a great deal about them. Our dog is older and is timid, but acclimated to Kent’s pack very well. We would not hesitate to have Kent care for Osler for longer periods of time in the future.”

“My dog Badger had an amazing time! Ishwori and her husband were so loving, caring and patient with him. I received constant updates and pictures. I can truly tell when picking him up that he enjoyed himself and was still giving dog kisses as we were leaving. I will definitely be using their services again if they are willing! Thank you so much for your care and time.”

“Biswas was great with the pups and seems to be confident with all types of dogs. The environment was very relaxed and he took his time introducing all the dogs. He’s got a nice yard where they can lounge around and sends pics and videos. My dogs are high anxiety and I appreciated all the care he took to ensure everyone was relaxed and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Allison has watched our dog Buddy twice now and both times have been amazing. She is super easy to communicate with and is very accommodating. She even went out of her way to replace Buddy’s toy that he chewed to shreds while he was there. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve had on Rover so far. Highly recommend!”

“Our dogs had a great time with Cindy!! We received pictures and/or videos daily. We were so pleased with how well she took care of them. They enjoyed time at the dog park and snuggles with her. The dogs told us they want to go back to her next time we go on vacation ?”


“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”

“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Shauna took great care of my baby! I think my dog thought I paid to send her to camp! She had a great time and had some new experiences meeting her horse, goat and chickens… and the great chicken race! Scarlett says thanks for the cuddles and making her feel like she was at home! We’ll be booking Shauna again!”


“Bonnie did a great job watching our Bailey for us while we were out of town. She has a nice home and great yard for small dogs. She was very responsible and prompt about communication. We look forward to baording with Bonnie in the future!”

“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”

“This is the first time I use Rover. I board my dog with Pratik for 2 nights. He and his wife are both very nice and friendly. They update me every day with the pictures of my dog. Pratik already knows my dog’s personality. And I can see in my dog that they really take good care of him. I will board him again to them when I go for a vacation because I know he safe with them.”

“Mariah was great with our babies. Her location was easily accessible and clean. Good atmosphere for our fur babies. Checked in regularly and had a great vibe and positive attitude. Thank you for taking care of our fur babies.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and have experience with both senior dogs and energetic pups. I have a 15-year-old dog who is blind but very healthy and confident, so I’m especially mindful of safety, routines, and gentle guidance. I also help care for a 2-year-old Jack Russell mix who needed consistent training and structure. Working with him every day has taught me a lot about leash manners, patience, and managing higher energy dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work in a school setting Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. I’m available for pet care after work on weekdays, including afternoons and evenings. I’m fully available on weekends and have more flexibility during school breaks and holidays. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to plan ahead to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I can crate pets as needed. I have crates available, including sizes suitable for large dogs. I closely monitor all pets in my care and make sure their daily needs are met, including fresh water, feeding routines, medications, and attention throughout the day. I keep a first aid kit on hand for minor scrapes or injuries and always have the contact information and address for the nearest emergency veterinary clinic if needed. All potentially harmful items are securely stored and out of reach. My own pets are friendly, calm, and well-socialized, helping create a safe and welcoming environment.
“We’re so thankful to Tracey for taking care of Ginger while we were away. It honestly made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Ginger was with someone so kind and caring. When we got back, Ginger was happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved. You can really tell Tracey treated her like her own. We appreciate her so much and would absolutely book with her again anytime 🐾💛”

“Lupe was great! Great communication, sent pictures and videos, and kept me updated. She has plenty of space for Kona to run around and play. She even had her own room! Would definitely use her again!”

“Mauro and his wife are an amazing pair that are very patient and compromising! Its been a while since I seen my dog this happy and looking forward to boarding him again soon! He made friends got so much exercise and when he was tuckered out had a whole room for himself. On top of that Mauro was consistently sending atleast a video or two along with some great picture of my dog showcasing his stay! Thank you so much!”
