“Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!”
“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Jessica was great at watching Gwen! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request after another sitter cancelled. She was very communicative about Gwen’s stay and sent plenty of photos and updates. She took great care of our little pup!”
“Our pup was well loved and cared for during her stay! Rosemarie and her entire family (pups included) were so welcoming and clearly love inviting dogs into their home (with a great fenced in yard). We will certainly book again!”
“My very active little dog stayed 8 days with Tinaclem. Smush was so happy, well taken care of, and runs to her when he sees her. It is a huge relief to know I've found a petsitter who loves dogs as much as I do, and as much as my dog loves her.”
“Kyle and Radha took great care of my rescue pup, Fiona while I was away for two nights! I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“My two Huskies had a blast with Rich and friends! I had zero worries as he is clearly very knowledgable and sent lots of pics! We will be sure to send our pups with him again in the future.”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“Great experience from beginning to end. It was our first time leaving Gigi with a sitter. Dew kept us updated and sent photos, which was a great comfort to us. Will definitely use her again.”
“Nicole is great and once again gave my dog Lulu a mini vacation at her place. Lulu had fun with her and other guest dogs and chilled at baby pool with sprinklers. She had a great time as usual at Nicole’s. Thx so much!”
“Jeff and Bruce went above and beyond in caring for Clover, keeping us updated the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear he was in great hands, relaxing and enjoying their home. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and their thoughtful handwritten note in Clover’s bag was such a sweet touch! We’ll definitely book with them again for a longer stay!”
“I cannot overstate how amazing Cherissa and her family were. They loved and took care of my dog like he was their own. I got pictures and updates every day and she was so flexible which helped us out so much. I was nervous to leave my dog with anyone because we’ve had bad experiences with boarding facilities but he was so happy the entire time he was with her and came back happy and exhausted from 4 days of playing. I would absolutely bring him back to her if I ever needed a sitter again. She is the best!!!”
“Lily took great care of our senior dog Norman! She and her family kept in great contact with us, and met our little guy at his energy level - providing cuddles, soft beds, and calm outdoor time, but also willing to take him out for more adventures when he was up for it. They made sure he integrated well with their sweet dog. We'd absolutely her to watch him again!”
“Valerie & her family were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Her house & property are very well kept & great for pets. Valerie put me at ease with her messages while we were away. I will use her again.”

“Stephanie was great. She sent me daily updates with pictures. Her time of visiting wss always consistent. She provided good care and attention to both my cats each time while she visited. My newest cat had started spraying (a preexisting problem that was in control prior to my leaving) probably out of loneliness. Stephanie contacted me inquiring how to best help clean up the messes and she did a great job cleaning it up. I would strongly recommend Stephanie as a pet sitter!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Patterson
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“I have been taking my two dogs to Stephen for daycare every week for a few months now and I am very happy with the care he provides to my pups. He is very reliable, attentive and kind. My dogs love him and feel very comfortable in his house. I feel very lucky to have found him.”
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”

About: Dogs thrive on calm structure and that’s exactly what I provide. I create a controlled, low stress environment where dogs are calm, well managed, and set up for success. I’m a sitter with formal training in dog behavior, and I’m currently continuing my education through an accredited, science based training program. My approach goes beyond basic pet sitting, I focus on structure, clear boundaries, and reading behavior to prevent issues before they start. I specialize in dogs that need structure and guidance, whether that’s anxious dogs, easily overstimulated dogs, or dogs adjusting to a new environment. My focus is helping dogs stay calm, regulated, and comfortable, not just physically tired. Every dog is handled intentionally and with clear structure, not as part of a chaotic group setting. Pet care is my full-time work, so your dog’s routine becomes part of my routine. Meals, walks, rest, enrichment, and any training cues you already use are followed as consistently as possible. I keep things structured and predictable so dogs, especially anxious, reactive, or easily overstimulated ones, can settle in and feel secure. My home is structured, supervised, and calm, not a chaotic group setup or a free for all. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully, given clear boundaries, and supported with a predictable routine so they feel safe and secure. I tailor the environment to each dog, including decompression time, quiet space, and supervised social time only when appropriate. My focus is always on behavior, safety, and preventing overstimulation or unsafe situations. My approach is best suited for dogs who can follow structure and benefit from a calm, well-managed environment. I am not a good fit for dogs that rely on constant high energy group play or a completely unstructured routine.

“Wanda welcomes my pups warmly each time. They really enjoy all the play time including with her super sweet pup. No matter how much energy they come with she always tires them out.

I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“My two Huskies had a blast with Rich and friends! I had zero worries as he is clearly very knowledgable and sent lots of pics! We will be sure to send our pups with him again in the future.”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“Great experience from beginning to end. It was our first time leaving Gigi with a sitter. Dew kept us updated and sent photos, which was a great comfort to us. Will definitely use her again.”
“So pleased with our experience! This was our first time leaving our new puppy. Anner did a great job caring for her. He was responsive with communication and pics. Will definitely use him again.”
“Loretta is great! She always makes sure to send pictures of my boy and he always looks like he is either having fun with other pups or comfortably snuggled up. I know he is in good hands with her.”
“Nicole is great and once again gave my dog Lulu a mini vacation at her place. Lulu had fun with her and other guest dogs and chilled at baby pool with sprinklers. She had a great time as usual at Nicole’s. Thx so much!”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“Jeff and Bruce went above and beyond in caring for Clover, keeping us updated the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear he was in great hands, relaxing and enjoying their home. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and their thoughtful handwritten note in Clover’s bag was such a sweet touch! We’ll definitely book with them again for a longer stay!”
“Annmarie was incredibly flexible and communicative with everything! Zoe loved her and there was never a moment we weren’t happy with our decision to trust Annmarie with our girl!”
“Valerie & her family were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Her house & property are very well kept & great for pets. Valerie put me at ease with her messages while we were away. I will use her again.”
