“This was my very 1st time being away from my fur baby & Carla made the process smooth. Very caring & kept me updated. The pictures helped a lot as well. Thank you so much again. This overall experience was a 10/10.”


“This was Jake's first visit to Steven's house and it was for almost 2 weeks, so I was a bit concerned until I met Steven and Shelby at our Meet and Greet. Jake was completely comfortably. He had a great stay, and enjoyed playing with the other boarding dogs. Frequent photos of Jake, smiling, resting and playing, were wonderful to receive. I was so pleased that I've already booked Jake to stay with Steven when I go away for a week in June.”


About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior dogs who require patience, mobility support, and medication management. What truly sets me apart is the environment I offer: a spacious, 4-acre fully fenced property, perfect for safe off-leash play, exploration, and exercise. Your dog won’t just be cared for—they’ll have the freedom to run, sniff, and play in a secure and enriching space that most sitters simply can’t provide. I understand that every pet is unique. I tailor my care to fit each dog’s individual needs and personality, whether that means working on basic obedience, managing separation anxiety, or just providing a calm, consistent presence. I'm also experienced in crate training, leash walking, and reading dog body language to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. My goal is to give your pet a home-away-from-home experience, and to give you peace of mind while you're away. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate walks, feeding times, play sessions, and potty breaks—without juggling long commutes or unpredictable hours. Pet care is built right into my daily routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk in the morning, playtime in the afternoon, or cuddles throughout the day, I’m here to provide a calm and consistent environment. For overnight stays or boarding, I’m home in the evenings and overnight, so your pet is rarely left alone. This setup is ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, need extra attention, or simply enjoy being around people. Your pet won’t just be a part of my day—they’ll be the best part of it! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always aim to provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where they feel safe, loved, and stress-free. At my home, dogs enjoy supervised playtime on 4 fully fenced acres, giving them the freedom to explore and exercise without ever being off-leash in an unsafe area. I carefully introduce new dogs to make sure everyone gets along and matches in energy and temperament. Indoors, pets have a cozy, climate-controlled space with access to clean bedding, toys, and plenty of affection. I also stick closely to your dog’s usual routine—mealtimes, medication, crate use, etc.—to help them feel right at home. Above all, I believe in building trust—not just with pets, but with the people who love them most.

“We had the best experience with Rodney. He was very patient with Emma. She definitely warmed up to him. Unfortunately had to be late for pick up d/t airport delays - was not a problem. We would definitely use Rodney's help again.”


“She had done greet with our dog lili she is about a year and six months old no issues at all very knowledgeable of dogs in their situations as well as understanding their behavior with no issues she took care of my dog and my dog played with her dog so now my dog has a friend they went to the park together and everything and she bought my dog back, clean safe and sound no issues Thank you very much once again for watching her for the five days. It’s been great. We definitely use her again just for dog play dates. Also she’s amazing. Don’t hesitate.”


“Erika was friendly adaptable and kind. Our dog had a very nice stay. Erika sent us a few pictures and sent us periodic updates. We were pleased with her service and hope to use her again.”


“Austin was fantastic. Seamless and easy meet, drop off and pickup. Austin is very friendly and genuine about caring for dogs and specifically Scout. He took Scout on some great walks, and he was very loving to Scout. Will book again, 10/10.”


“Chris did an excellent job with my little Moon! She was so accommodating and responsive to all his needs and whims! Chris will be the first person I look for if I ever need a sitter for my dog again😊”


“Robert is a wonderful sitter. Our dog, Rey was so comfortable and happy with him. We will definitely ask Robert to have Rey again. We were able to have a great vacation knowing Rey was in great hands.”


“Steph is absolutely AMAZING! First off it was short notice maybe 4 hours before I had to leave and everyone kept turning me down until this wonderful woman was kind enough to take her in . My baby had a blast with her and Jax. She sent me pictures and you could see the happiness in my baby’s eyes . Anytime I go out of town Valkyrie will be hanging out with her new bestfriend Jax . Definitely 10 out 10”


“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”


“I can’t thank Vatina enough for taking such great care of my dog, Santana, over Christmas break. It’s never easy leaving your furry friend behind during the holidays, but knowing Santana was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. Vatina went above and beyond to make sure Santana was happy and comfortable, keeping me updated with adorable pictures and letting me know how he was doing. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, treating him as if he were her own. Santana came back to me relaxed, well-cared for, and probably a little spoiled with all the extra attention. I’m so grateful for Vatina’s kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“Ruth & her family are amazing dog sitters! They sent adorable frequent updates & took the best care of our guy - he slept all day when he got home! He is a little high maintenance and we felt totally assured that he was loved and cared for while we were away. We would definitely recommend them to watch your pup!”



“Casey was so awesome!! She was responsive and kind and sent the cutest photos of my pup while we were out on vacation. Her backyard is huge and beautiful, like puppy paradise, and her sweet dog Nate kept my dog great company. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Melissa was a perfect fit for our pup. Her two dogs are wonderful, and our dog had a great time. I’m not even sure she missed us!! Would definitely have Melissa watch our dog in the future.”


“We are so happy with the great job Lauren did watching our Zoey! I received pictures and messages everyday which have us a high level of confidence that our pooch was in great hands! Thanks, Lauren!!”
