Will definitely book her again when we need to board our dog again!”

“I dropped off my puppy for her first time boarding and Queenie and her dog Summer were very accommodating! She sent lots of updates + videos while we were gone and made sure to keep Kona entertained and loved while I was gone. I would definitely trust her to take care of my pup again and would recommend her to anyone else. Thanks again!”
“Xiuhui took very good care of Nayo! She’s so caring and loving. All the dogs sleep with her in the bed, and she really puts her heart into insuring their happiness. I’m very satisfied with her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to board their babies.”
“Jaynee was a great cat sitter! She looked after my cat Penny for a few days and sent super adorable updates everyday. I was happy to see how comfortable my cat was staying with her! She was also very communicative and flexible with everything and made the whole process very easy for me. Will definitely be booking with her again next time. :)”
“Trinh took great care of our dog, Indy! We arranged a meet n greet to get acquainted a couple of weeks before the drop off date. Indy seemed very comfortable around Trinh right away. Trinh was kind enough to show us around the areas that Indy would stay as well as where he would sleep. When it was drop off day, there was no problem. Trinh sent us photos of Indy during his walks. Pick up day was a breeze, and Indy seemed happy. We will definitely arrange for Indy to stay there again! We appreciate you, Trinh!”
“I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with Jen. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. Worked well with my schedule, including some last minute scheduling changes. She was so reassuring and it was so clear to me that my cat had such a happy and pleasant experience. I will definitely be booking with Jen in the future. Her regular updates, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy, and experience made me feel relaxed during my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”

Christie was flexible on drop-off and pick-up and super easy to work with. Buddy really enjoyed his weekend away from home. Highly recommended sitter.”
“Sean was flexible with scheduling, he excepted my request almost instantly. The drop off was smooth and the line of communication was great as well. He provided plenty of photos and videos of Hercules while I was gone on vacation and he went above and beyond to keep my big baby comfortable. He even ended up creating a bond with my dog which led us to speak on scheduling another stay in the future. Thanks for everything Sean. I appreciate your service!”
“Thank you Jeanette for giving Leila and Mocha an active two days, we loved receiving photos and video throughout their stay with your family! ❤️”
“I highly recommend Mary! She made me feel so at ease when she watched my fur baby while I was out of the country for a week. I haven’t felt like my girl was in such good hands with previous sitters, and I’ve been through many. Mary was understanding and accommodating for my dog’s individual needs (anxious and needy) and made her feel so comfortable. I was updated with frequent updates and photos/videos that melted my heart. I truly felt like I could enjoy my vacation without any worries. Your dog will be in a warm, caring and loving family home with Mary. ❤️🙏🏽”

“Tessa enjoyed a terrific stay with Evan and her dog Rook. Evan is kind and patient and understands dogs. Evan allows her visiting dogs to feel right at home. Tessa was also a guest with another dog and all three got along very well and enjoyed time in the apartment and walks to the park. Throughout her stay, Evan sent updates and pictures of Tessa which always makes a pet owner feel good. Evan is highly responsible and personable and I would highly recommend her dog care taking services to anyone. ”
“Antonio has been great providing updates on the dog and how they are adjusting, which gave me a huge peace in mind, and I would book with him again.”
About: I’ve had over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field. Qualified to care and assist with all pets and ready to adapt to any situation (senior care, special needs). Here to also show them love when their parents are not available. I currently work full-time, except weekends. Since I work at an animal hospital, I will be able to board your pet with me if needed, where they’ll be looked after, taken on walks and played with all day long. I have a fenced backyard, all sides are safe from the street and pets can also be crated if needed. I live near parks that offer dog friendly environment or if you’re a cat owner, we have only 1 door that has access to the outside(no sliding door or extra garage doors) so they will be kept safely inside.
“Valerie was so great with my dog! She has a lot of experience with dogs and I felt at ease leaving Riley with Valerie when I was gone for an international trip. She sent updates and pictures and it seemed my dog was very happy and comfortable with her too. Don’t hesitate to book with Valerie if you need any dog boarding for your pet, she’s great! I will be booking with her in the future.”
“Michelle was great with Penny. She kept me posted throughout the weekend with several photos and updates with how Penny was doing. Penny was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks Michelle and family for taking great care of my baby!”
“Ezra is such an amazing Rover. This was our first time using it and she did such an outstanding job taking care of our doggo. She sent frequent updates without me even having to ask. I will absolutely recommend her to my friends and family. Definitely will be booking with Ezra again<3”
