About: Thirty years of animal care and currently enrolled in animal behavior studies. I have completed numerous canine behavioral and training classes over the last 7 years. Currently I am enrolled to complete certification as a professional dog trainer. I offer balanced and loving guidance for animals in my care. I enjoy engaging with animals and creating natural play events for them - including "nose work", obstacle course work and tricks, etc. Your pet will enjoy my spacious fenced yard. I'm available seven days a week and overnights. I provide a pleasing rhythm of morning/evening walks in our small town home or fields trips to our island home 5 minutes away. On the island we take walks alongside the farms and the river with a mid-day break outside or games. There is wildlife to engage their interest as they lounge in the sun on my deck overlooking the river-- or just relaxing in the house. My homes are a spacious one level and is comfortable for animals -- with couch sitting allowed and lots of cozy spots throughout the living room and kitchen. We have separate rooms for kennel/mat rest and eating. I like to be with my guests, so they become a part of my home and daily rhythm. I am retired and sit on the board of our local animal advocacy group. Outside of my grandson, supporting dogs and their owners is my greatest joy. I am not able to care for animals at owners' homes. I provide love and safety in my home creating a balance of physical exercise and mental engagement -- and plenty of love.

“Raegan was amazing! She gave updates and sent pictures of our pup that made us feel so confident in our decision to board for the weekend. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter/boarding. I wish I found her sooner. Highly recommend!”

Sandy C.

“Stephanie was amazing from picking up and dropping off and entire time she took care of my Ollie. She sent me multiple updates and pictures daily. Ollie was in a wonderful, loving and caring family home. I would definitely call on Stephanie again and again to care for Ollie.”

Stacy E.

“Jessica and family were awesome! Our girls were quite unsettled, as (in 7 years) they'd never been away from my wife and I. They gave them a ride for their money. We appreciate the boarding opportunity.”

Rob S.

“Tank seemed to really love his stay with Mandy. I was happy to see he got to play at the beach and socialize with other dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”

Lori M.

“Cheyenne watched our dog Stella for a week while we traveled out of state. Stella is shy in new situations and Cheyenne took her time introducing herself since we didn't have time for a meet and greet ahead of time. Cheyenne sent pictures and videos regularly while we were gone and Stella looked fine. Cheyenne lives in a nice shaded and walkable neighborhood and I felt I was leaving Stella in a safe environment. She had other animals in the house so Stella hopefully had some playmates. Our trip wasn't as long as planned and she was fine with us picking her up early. Cheyenne responded promptly to all of our messages. Cheyenne is a sweet person who was concerned about our dog's routine and comfort while away from home. We would definitely use her again.”

Lorri P.

“Bodhi had such a wonderful time with Sandra! He’s stayed with several sitters of the years but I’ve never seen him come back so happy and settled. Sandra gave him a lot of love and attention and even bathed him for pick up. I’ll definitely have her watch him again and can’t recommend her enough.”

Don P.

“Trinity took such great care of our girl! She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our dog had everything she needed. Thank you Trinity!”

About: With 63 years of loving and caring for dogs, my life’s journey has been beautifully shaped by the incredible companions I’ve raised and adored. From my childhood pup to my German Shepherd, Bailey, who blessed me with 8 puppies, to rescuing sweet Poncho Via in Mexico—who lived a joyful 16 years—I’ve experienced every chapter of a dog’s life. In 2006, I fell in love with Australian Cattle Dogs, raising Tucker Station, Willow Springs, and Parker Station from birth. I stood by them through the toughest times—Tucker’s battle with congestive heart failure, Willow’s courageous fight with cancer, and Parker’s journey through chronic kidney disease and heart failure, before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May 2025. This isn’t just pet care—it’s my life’s purpose. I specialize in puppy training, providing compassionate senior care, and making anxious or special-needs dogs feel safe and loved. With me, your dog will be treated like cherished family—because that’s exactly what they are.” Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life—it’s not a task, it’s a joy! From morning tail wags to evening snuggles, my days revolve around walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure or a senior dog wanting quiet companionship, I adjust my day to meet their unique needs. Simply put—dogs aren’t a part of my routine…they ARE the routine! Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. In my home, dogs enjoy a clean, secure environment with cozy rest areas, supervised playtime, and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun. Whether they’re playful pups or senior snugglers, their comfort always comes first. In my clients’ homes, I respectfully follow all routines and care instructions to keep pets feeling safe and secure in their familiar surroundings. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety with secure leashing, close supervision, and plenty of affection. No matter the service, you’ll always receive regular updates and photos—because I know how much peace of mind that brings!

“Sarah was great with our goofball pup. We'd never booked with Sarah before, but she let us have a meet and greet beforehand to make sure our pup got along with her pup and kitty, sent us multiple pictures/videos/updates during our trip, and also asked us questions beforehand about our pup that let us know she cares about taking good care of the animals who come into her care. We'll definitely ask her to dog-sit again in the future.”
