Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.

Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.

Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!

Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!

Jess and her family were great! Our 11 pound Cavapoo (Molly) stayed with Jess for 7 nights while our family went on our first vacation without our beloved pup. I knew Molly was well cared for and happy (perhaps a bit too happy given her ambivalence to seeing me when I picked her up 🙂). I felt very comfortable leaving Molly with Jess and would certainly do so again. Jess was very responsive and sent me regular updates and pictures. I think Molly particularly enjoyed the freedom Jess allows the dogs in the house. For example, I sent Molly with her crate that she happily sleeps in at our home, but with Jess Molly just slept on the couch with the other dogs. Spoiled for sure!

Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!

Joe (and his puppy Rose) were amazing with Maple! We were so glad to have another dog for Maple to play with while we were gone, and it sounds like they became best friends. Joe was extremely communicative, helpful, and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. He was accommodating with drop off/pick up times and great to talk with. Highly recommend Joe to others and would book him again!

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Eddy. It was my first time boarding my high energy German shepherd Koda, and I am so beyond grateful I found Eddy to take care of him!! I told him as many updates as he could give me would be appreciated, and he delivered! I got frequent updates on how Koda was doing, how he was eating and getting along with others, and SO many pictures and videos!!! It took so much stress off my shoulders seeing that my boy was having so much fun and being taken care of so wonderfully. He had a BLAST! Instead of boarding him it felt more like a mini vacation for him! I have recommended Eddy to all my friends and if you’re reading this debating using his services…DO IT!!! You will not regret it, Eddy was such a pleasure to work with and you can really tell how much he loves dogs and treats them as his own. Thank you again so much Eddy for being so communicative, responsible, and loving to Koda!
