“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”


“I can only repeat myself again and again: Oana and Oliver are absolutely brilliant and so loving to the dogs. I can always send Kana "on vacation" with the best conscience and thus also enjoy my own vacation without worrying, because I know exactly that Kana will have a blast within Oana & Oliver's family. The gorgeous fenced in yard is an absolut plus and although Kana is used to be on his own and doesn't need a constant playmate, he hangs out on the lovely grass with other dogs, plays fetch and enjoys being taken care of with so much love. Thank you Oana and Oliver”


“Jieming and his wife are excitement with taking care of my dog and keeping me updated each day. They love dogs and have my dog plenty of walks outside and the move inside! Highly recommend them to ever.”


“Nancy took amazing care of our dogs for almost 2 weeks while we were away in Europe. She communicated to us daily with photos to match her captions, letting us know they were doing well (they are old and not in the best of health). We were so grateful she could take them a month before we were to leave (we had a family emergency so needed a back up plan) especially during the holiday season! She was so thoughtful to help us out and go to the store when we neglected to pack their doggie treats. We highly recommend Nancy - she treated our dogs as if they were her own! ❤️”


“My dog was very well cared for by Ying Ying and her family. She was so thoughtful and sent update videos of her while we were on our trip. It was clear Bailey had a great time.”


“Sarah thank you so much for being so incredible with Sawyer. I was wondering if you would be able to take Sawyer overnight again from May 16th evening to the 19th evening.”


“Mary was great with our dog. She handled her anxiety so well and was thoughtful and caring. She also sent us a picture each day to let us know she was doing well. Mary’s backyard is large and fenced and gave our dog plenty of room to explore. Mary handled our dog’s feeding issues as well as her daily medications. We will definitely be using Mary again to watch our dog!”

“Marianne took great care of Miles for a week! He had lots of other dogs to play with. I appreciated how Marianne communicated with me too - very responsive and kept me in the loop.”


“Zewen was very responsive and took great care of Ciri. With her sweet dog Uni, they had a wonderful time together. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos, so we always felt updated on Ciri’s condition and never had to worry. We absolutely loved having her as our sitter!”


“Ami was very wonderful! She was accommodating to pickup/drop off times. Has great response time, sends updates on your pet. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”


“Leanne was fantastic with keeping us up to date on how Blackie was doing and even handled new medications without batting an eye. Would definitely use again and recommend!!”


About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.


“Eden was very punctual and professional. She was great with our dog Sandy and her other dogs were good company for her! Sandy was well taken care of and Eden sent me daily picture updates which was very nice! She was also very flexible when we needed her to watch for extra time than originally planned. The whole family really welcomed Sandy and we felt that she was in great hands while we were away. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again.”


“Highly recommend as Rusty accommodated well. It was Rusty first time with Xiaoxue and it went well. Rusty got good workout. Communication was great and we received pics on regular basis along with updates. Will do business again. Thanks.”


“Alison was responsive and thoughtful. She agreed to sit our utterly over-exuberant 14-month-old black Lab and we were so concerned that Alison’s family would be overwhelmed. Instead, she sent encouraging notes and exercised our dog extensively, so that she returned home relaxed. We really could not have asked for a better situation. Great people, a terrific fenced back yard, and good communication. Hard to beat that.”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 7-year-old Golden Retriever. I’ve cared for multiple puppies at once and have pet-sat for many friends and family, so I understand the needs and love dogs have. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them love, attention, and care to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I work from home, so I’m available to care for your dog throughout the day. I have a spacious yard for walks and playtime, and there’s a dog park just down the street if that’s something you allow. I also love taking dogs on hikes along nearby trails. My home is large, giving plenty of room to roam, and my Golden Retriever is a gentle, friendly companion who loves making new friends. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and adventure while in my care. Dogs are welcome on furniture and the bed if that’s part of their routine. I make sure they get their scheduled meals, plenty of fresh water, and stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I provide lots of love, attention, and playtime, including walks, trips to the dog park, and outdoor adventures if allowed. I monitor their health and behavior, and I’ll communicate regularly with you so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while in my care.

“Keto has been going to Pilar’s house for a couple of years now and may be happier there than at home. When she sees me packing her go bag she dances with excitement and watched for Pilar out the window. She comes home happy and healthy. Pilar also picks up and drops off, which is very helpful. Pilar send pics of keto playing in the yard with new friends and sleeping peacefully. We are very grateful Pilar can offer such stellar services while we are away!”


“Leaving my dog with Merry was like leaving her with family! My dog settled into Merry’s home with ease and incredible comfort, which, of course, allowed me to enjoy my vacation even more! I don’t travel much but when I do, I’ll be sure to book with Merry again! Merry, her pups and her home are so loving and welcoming that any pup would be fortunate to stay there! 💓”
