“We had a fantastic experience with Sedi, who cared for our Boston, Penny. It was our first time leaving her in someone else's home, and Sedi made the whole process so easy and reassuring. She was warm, thoughtful, and sent regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She even accommodated a much later pickup than expected due to flight delays..above and beyond! Penny came home happy and completely tuckered out, which says it all. We can’t recommend Sedi highly enough, she’s an absolute superstar! We are so grateful.”



“Rebecca made us feel welcome right from our first meet and greet. It was my first long term stay away without my dog and I was very nervous. Rebecca's warmth eased my anxiety. I highly recommend!”


“Go no further ! I’ve found THE caretaker for my Madeline. When Lucille got down on the floor to greet and introduce herself to Madeline, I knew she was the GOLD standard in “fur baby” caregiving. She went above and beyond the 3 page list of instructions I gave her. 🙄 I had complete confidence, trust and peace of mind knowing Madeline was about to be spoiled, she was included in her daily routines which included car rides and shopping all while observing for any stress. I actually will, without hesitation, be calling Lucille for future overnights. Her love of dogs is a true gift! GLK”


“I've never had to board my dogs before and was very nervous. Rachael answered my many questions, explained everything I needed to know. Her family is wonderful with my dogs and I finally feel I've found someone caring and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook in the future!”


“Mason had a blast. Sarah and John were kind, responsive, and provided a great home while we were away. Their dog Blue is also wonderful. Thank you guys for everything and will absolutely be in touch if we ever need boarding again in the future 🙂”

“I appreciated Dayana’s quick response and willingness to accept a last minute boarding request for our dog while away for a long weekend. She allowed me to stop by ahead of booking with her to view her house and yard. She has a thoughtful set up for ensuring dogs will be comfortable in her house with dog beds, toys, and treats. She was also flexible to accept a later pick-up time when we returned home. Dayana sent both pictures and videos, which made me feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands. I would use her again.”


“Samantha and her family did a great job taking care of Louie overnight. He enjoyed being able to run around their backyard and was a happy boy. I would recommend Samantha and use her services again. Thank you!”


“Jen Is fantastic! She is very knowledgeable with dogs and is fantastic with Bear. Bear is a great dane puppy so he is challenging in that he doesn't know his size, yet Jen handles him very well! She has also worked with us to make sure she meets his special needs! we are going on vacation soon and I am confident that he will be in great care with Jen and her family! Her dog Colby is very skilled with other pets and his calm nature is perfect for Bear! We are very lucky to have found Jen!”

“Jodie was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog somewhere over night and she made us feel comfortable and we knew our pup was in good hands. She continually checks in and sends pictures and I knew right away I was leaving my pup in good hands. Highly recommend Jodie!”


“They are so good to my lil pup and spoil him rotten. Most flexible sitter I’ve had and genuinely good people, who are dog lovers. My pup gets so excited when we get to their house! Highly recommend!”


“Lisa was wonderful! She sent us updates and picts/videos of our fur baby everyday and was very responsive by text. Her dog Elton is an energetic sweetheart. Our dogs played well together. We will definitely reach out to Lisa again!”


“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”


“Very knowledgeable and easy going. I had previously left my fella at a local dog hotel and I could tell the difference in mood on my guy when I picked him up from Donnie. My pup was as cool as a cucumber, Great job!!!”


About: About me: As someone who has grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds, I have had the great opportunity to fall in love with animals and all their unique personalities. Ranging from dogs and cats, to Guinea pigs and bearded dragons, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, and I want each one that comes through that door to feel loved and cared for for the time that they are here. Your pet: I would love to hear about what makes your pet different and unique so that I can make their stay a great one. Where they’ll be staying: I live in an house with a big backyard, with plenty of room for playing. It is unfenced so all furry friends will be carefully supervised. Every pet will have the opportunity to stay in the downstairs part of the home where the temperature is controlled, keeping it cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. Located on a fairly quiet street with some trails nearby, your pup will be able to go on some new adventures while they’re here. Here at my house I have a standard size poodle mix, a bearded dragon, and a Guinea pig. My dog loves spending time with other dogs so he’d be more than happy to get some extra play time with them in if your pup enjoys the company. And they’ll be no contact with the two small exotics so they’re no worries there. Health and Safety: I am able to administer any oral medicines, just let me know when to give it to them! I cannot do injected medication. Should an emergency occur, I am located within a five minute drive of two different emergency vets, so your furry friend will be able to receive care quickly and efficiently should they ever need it. Training: I love training my own dog, and would love to help train yours as well. I can continue any training they’re already going through, or teach them something new! Simply discuss it with me ahead of time and I can see if I can make it happen. Baths: If you want your furry friend squeaky clean on their way home, I’m more than happy to make that happen for you. For a small fee I’ll have your pup shining and smelling great once more! And finally, if there’s anything special your pet needs, please let me know! I want your beloved pet to feel at home and to be content while staying here. I am always free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so if you ever need a weekend away from home, I’m here to watch your pet and keep them having fun! If you need a longer boarding time, I can do that, please be aware that your dog will be left unsupervised in their own room for up to 2 hours at a time throughout the weekdays for when I am not home. With a nice big yard, trails nearby, and someone always in watching distance of your pet, you can rest assured that your pet will stay out of trouble while still having fun.

“We’ve done doggie daycare before, but this was the first time we boarded our dog and she had a great time. Sophie enjoyed her time there and we already booked again for a week.”


About: If you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, you found the right person. My flexibility is vast. I can care for dogs at your house or mine, travel dogs, to dog parks, hiking trails, places to swim, or just cuddle on the couch I have flexibility for multiple visits during the day and multiple trips outside as needed. I am very flexible with caregiving for animals and can adapt to various routine needs for your pets, including overnights. My flexibility allows for multiple visits during the daytime or nighttime. I have a fenced in backyard, my own dog and cat who are fairy friendly with other animals. I live in a safe neighborhood and have reliable transportation as needed.

“Andrea watched our Golden for over two weeks. She really helped us out in a pinch. Lots of pictures and updates!! We were a little bit nervous because our pup gets anxious but Andrea put our minds at ease. Our dog came back very, very happy! We will absolutely use Andrea again. Thank you for taking such great care of our doggo!!”

“Crystal was AMAZING! She offered to come visit her house ahead of time to have the dogs meet. She sent plenty of photos and updates. She was responsible and attentive to our puppy. She walked him and cuddled with him. She’s very professional and treated our puppy exactly like we hoped she would. Would 100% use Crystal again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!!”
