“Jojo is so calm and happy when I picked him up at Ashley's house today! I am impressed by how organized Ashley is. Jojo is 16 years old and Ashley was so attentive to the care instructions for Jojo. Ashley is definitely a dog lover; and has a very safe and comfortable set up in her home for dogs. Ashley kept me informed on Jojo's stay, his meals and water situation which I appreciate very much! I have to say, Ashley is a top-notch caretaker for dogs and I am very thankful to have found her! I highly recommend Ashley to doggie moms and dads!”
“10/10 They’re awesome! We were previously using a bigger daycare center that was overwhelming our little guy, with Justine & Brett he doesn’t want to leave their house 😂 they communicate well and are very flexible. We’re deeply grateful for the love and attention they gave our Gibbs.”
“Victoria was responsive and able to take care of Luna in a last minute request within the hour. Luna had a fantastic time playing with cats and her good boy Cowboy. I will definitely use Victoria again!”
“What an amazing first experience with Rover!!!!! Im so lucky we found a sitter who loved and played with Cooper all day. Marian also provided me with updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing. She is AMAZING and I will 100% book with her again and you should too!”

“We had a meet with Danielle before we left our mini poodle a few days later with her. When we went back the second time, as we approached her house, he got super excited and couldn’t wait to go in. Danielle was really kind and gentle with him. When he was anxious as we left, she held him until he calmed down. He enjoyed playing with her very active puppy and was pretty tuckered when we got back. We’re looking forward to leaving him with her again.”
“I recently rescued a puppy and needed some extra hands while I went to work. My pup, Linda, visits Paula & Brandon 2-3 times a week and it has been nothing short of an absolute pleasure and breeze. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of helping hand that comes with lots of love & peace of mind for you and your furbabies! Thank you Paula & Brandon (+ the kiddos too of course) !”
“Kimberly was an excellent dog-sitter, she was attentive and patient with my dog who was apprehensive at first. Nevertheless she cared for my Cofi and opened her home to him. I would definitely have her take care of Cofi again.”

“Pallavi did a fantastic job caring for our 18- month old Goldendoodle ,Bruce. She is very flexible and accommodated our last minute reservation. She made sure Bruce was comfortable and provided regular updates and shared photos.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life — I’m 38 now, so that’s a lot of years loving pups! I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5 lb cuties to big 120+ lb snugglers, and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked on training with all my own dogs and have no problem giving medications when needed. As a foster with a local rescue, I’ve helped anxious, scared, and quirky dogs feel safe and loved. I truly believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I work from home most of the week, so your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and company! I only go into the office one day a week, and that day is flexible and usually short. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog! I live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide lots of walks, snuggles, and personalized care. I limit how many dogs I take at once to make sure everyone gets the attention they need. My own three dogs are friendly and used to sharing their space, but I can also crate your pup if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel safe.
“Mary was communicative, friendly, and super flexible with my puppy's first stay away. He is in a challenging phase but she handled it in stride. My pup was extremely happy in the photos and videos she was kind enough to send and came home ready to snooze :) Thank you!”
“We were visiting the area for a conference and wanted to have Bailey close so that she knew we'd come back for her. It takes a while to hear back from the caretaker, and I didn't get photos. However, our Bailey girl seemed just fine when we picked her up, which was a HUGE relief. The separation anxiety was there, but it was not as severe as I had anticipated. . When we come up next year, we will reach out to Barbara again!”
“This was Wag’s repeat stay which was just as good as the first one! So nice to know from the photos sent that she had a ball! Wags was so exhausted after she got home that she snuggled up on the couch and hit the hay. Thanks for taking care of Wags for us! Thank you Sonia & Greg!”
About: I have a background in dog training for all types of breeds and love animals of all kinds. Your furry friend will be loved as my own. Guaranteed! I work from home and only leave for daily trips to the dog park and several walks per day. Taking care of dogs is the best part of my day! Your fur babies will spend the day playing at home, the dog park and the beach. I have more than 20 years experience with large and small dogs. They’ll think they’re in dog heaven :-)
