“Amazing, amazing, amazing! We have come to trust Skirla with our sweet baby each time we need boarding. Our sweet girl absolutely adores Skirla and her family. I’m so grateful we found her. 🙏🏽”


“Valerie is amazing with my baby. She always sends pics. I call her my baby's stepmom😁. Valerie is always my 1st choice sitter. When she's not available, I'm devastated 💔. My baby absolutely loves her. My baby is blind, but when he hears her voice, he gets so excited.”


About: Whether you're heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I offer personalized dog sitting and comfortable home-based boarding where your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, daily walks, playtime, and a calm environment. With a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs, I treat every fur guest my own —because your fur baby deserves nothing less. Care for my fur guest fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, whether it's for feeding, potty breaks, walks, or just some comforting company. I’m able to maintain a calm and consistent environment where pets feel safe and cared for. Being home full-time means my fur guest will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adapt to their individual needs and routines. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or special care instructions. My fur guest have access to cozy resting areas, safe indoor and outdoor spaces, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how they are doing. My goal is to create a stress-free, happy stay that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

“This is our 2nd time leaving our furbabies with Lindsey! They are always happy when we pick them up. Lindsey always gives us updates and pictures throughout our trip.”


“Amanda took our dog on short notice when we had a funeral to go to and was very gracious when we ran late to pick him up. She takes wonderful care of him in spite of his constant search for food, too. Highly recommend Amanda!”


“Karen was absolutely amazing with my dog Loki! It was my first time leaving him with someone in the area, and she did everything to make me feel confident and comfortable with leaving him overnight. Loki got along great with her sweet golden, the pictures were adorable. We will definitely use her again!”


“Carol took such good care of our German shorthaired pointer. She has a nice setup at her house where the dogs have their own section with a couch and a fenced in yard. Carol genuinely cares for the dogs she dog sits and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Sharon was wonderful with Abigail! She took great care of her - sent lots of picture and video updates and was immediately responsive to any questions I had. When I picked her up she was happy and clearly had a great time. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Oh my goodness! Imagine needing to book your 13+ year old GoldenDoodle baby for 11 days with a new sitter just before traveling outside the country! Then imagine a family who welcomes her and cares for her as their own. This is the experience we were thrilled and comforted to discover with Amanda and Kevin and their family. Their communication and pictures were just enough to reassure us all was well and when she had a little tummy upset, their communication was clear and timely and they took the agreed upon proactive steps for her to feel better quickly. Perhaps the best testimonial comes from Maddie herself. When we picked her up she ran back and forth between us and Kevin and their daughter with whom Maddie had clearly bonded. We are grateful for their great care of Maddie and will be sure to book again with them!”



“This was my dog’s first time staying with Sonia and Jeff. My dog came home playful and with lots of energy. He had not lost weight, like has happened in other boarding situations. He has special needs—requires daily eye drops and medication and his eye looked very comfortable when we picked him up. We are very pleased and booking his boarding appointment for our next trip.”


“Melissa was wonderful with my cocker spaniel! Not only did she assist me with picking her up and bringing her home so that I didn't need to travel in the opposite direction of the airport, but she sent me daily photos and a report of how the day had gone. It made me feel good that Honey was not only getting walks and time outdoors, but also lots of cuddles!”



“Nikki was amazing with Rogue, she sent a lot of photos and videos to let us know that everything was fine, she didn’t hesitate to ask questions about how to give him orders (he barks French). Everything was so perfect ! Thank you Nikki!”


“Nicole did an amazing job caring for Max!! Max is a nervous guy, and he felt right at home with Nicole and her pup. Nicole was very flexible and attentive to Max's needs. She accommodated his schedule and sent frequent updates with photos and information about Max's day. It was such a comfort to hear that he was so comfortable that he ate all of his meals while in her care and enjoyed frequent walks. When anxious, Max will avoid eating and refuse to walk. I could tell from day 1 that Nicole was his new favorite sitter! Will definitely use Nicole again in the future. Thank you!”



“Gary and Becky took great care of my special needs (epileptic) dog in their home for 4 nights. They administered medication, followed my detailed care instructions and helped to make him feel at home! They were quick to communicate and sent lots of photos. I will definitely be contacting them next time I need a pet sitter.”



“She was great with our dogs! They were well taken care of and their medications were given as they were supposed to be! She kept us updated on how they were doing! Would definitely recommend joanna!”


“Shekenia Has taken good care of Luna. Luna seemed so happy while she was with her. Shekenia Kept me up to date with her and I didn’t have to worry. Diffidently will use her again.”


“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”


“Haven and her family were wonderful! They were so friendly and welcoming when we dropped our dog off and she sent great updates throughout our trip. Her dog was so friendly and sweet also. We will definitely book with Haven again.”
