“Esteisy was amazing with our dog all week! She has a super spacious yard that our older dog loved rolling and playing in. She met up every morning and afternoon on time during drop off and pick up. She was very responsive with communication and sent us a report card with pictures and daily activities! We would definitely book with her again!”


“Awesome communication and care for Milo. I got several pics and updates during his daycare time. I’d definitely use Matt again in the future.”


“Fantastic! These lovely people helped save our day. We had some car issues with a long story attached, but these people were more than gracious with their time and home. They are Excellent with animals, and Our pup seemed to just fit right into the whole down to earth fun loving family.

About: With over 6 years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I mostly cared for medium to large breeds and understand the unique needs each pup brings. Whether it’s administering medications, including injections, or supporting mobility and comfort in older dogs, I always prioritize safety, compassion, and consistency. As a medical professional working three days a week, I have a flexible schedule and am fully available on my days off to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. On my free days, I’m home and active—perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m used to balancing responsibility and care in my profession, and I bring that same commitment to every pet I look after. Whether it’s a day visit or overnight stay, your pet will be in caring and capable hands. I have a large, fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. Inside, there’s plenty of space and comfy spots to relax.

Safety, comfort, and a stress-free environment are my top priorities, so I tailor the experience to fit each dog’s needs and personality.

Ethel S.
“Ethel is our neighbor, a quiet and responsible woman with sound advice and a huge heart. She watched over our senior dog, Tiberius, most days while we were at work, and overnight occasionally. She tended carefully to his needs, as he was paralyzed in his later years, and mostly blind. She studied his condition and always asked questions when she was unsure of what we would prefer, sending us updates every few hours when we were out of town on vacation. She ensured he always felt safe, comfortable and content. Ethel was right there with us the night Tiberius passed away; I thank God for the comfort she's given us all. Ethel is a perfect sitter, and a member of our family.”
