“Me & My husband couldn’t be more grateful to have found cherryl & Wilson for our pup Milo. From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely loved animals and takes their role seriously. They were nothing short of attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and little videos while we were away—which gave us so much peace of minds. Thanks for allowing Milo to be in your home.”

“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”


“We dropped our lab off to Luis and his wife for two weeks while we went on vacation. Luis sent us photos the entire time to let us know Nala was ok! When we picked her up she looked great, she was happy, and looked pretty clean. We have dropped her off to big doggy day cares before and she usually comes home dirty and extremely thirsty. I love that she seemed happier with Luis than when we use the big kennels we have used in the past. This is our first time dropping a dog off with Luis and his family and we will definitely do it again. I will also be recommending him to anyone I know that needs a dog sitter!”


“Stephen is a great pet sitter who looked after our beloved friend! We had a good opinion of him right away when we met him. He is very nice and pleasant, and he was excellent with Snowy! When we arrived to pick him up, he was calm and joyful. During Snowy's visit, Stephen sent us pictures of Snowy having fun, which was wonderful. I look forward to connecting with Stephen again in the future!! Thanks for doing such an excellent job; keep it up!!”

About: Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm an animal lover & experienced pet mom who understands that they’re part of the family. I’ve raised two dogs from three months old, so I know the structure and routine dogs need. My pups play outside at least three times a day, so visiting dogs can expect a similar rhythm: regular outdoor time, a calm indoor space with toys, and attention. **As long as they’re good with cats,** they’ll fit right in. I work full time, but mostly from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my hours with a bit of notice, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, whether I’m in your home or caring for pets in mine. I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure while you're away. In your home, I treat the space with care and respect, and I always double check doors, feeding instructions, and any special requests. At my home, pets have access to a quiet, structured environment with safe spaces to relax, regular outdoor time, and lots of attention.

Clean as can be. There outside cats, sweet as pie. Reach out and I'm sure you'll my vibe. Christina!

About: I have had the privilege of taking care of a toy poodle and mini poodle for the last five years. I have spent the last two summers watching over my cousins two dog as well. I have relocated and am now to far from the pups. Looking forward to being able to play and care for yours!
