Kimmy and Jesse sent lots of updates with videos and photos, and Hula looked like she was having the best time! Hula looked super comfortable with them, which made us very happy.

They sent Hula home with a cute care package of treats, a cute bandana and a polaroid photo of her. :) We'll definitely be booking with Kimmy and Jesse again!”

“My boyfriend and I left our dog Enzo with Marivel for a couple days over the Fourth of July weekend. We were nervous about leaving him in an unfamiliar setting for the first time, but Marivel put us at ease with plenty of videos, responsive messaging, and regular updates on how he was doing. Even though she was watching many other dogs at the same time, she made it a priority to keep a close eye on Enzo, even giving him a bath before he came home with us. We really appreciated Marivel’s communication and attention with our baby.”
“Chris was so incredibly kind to both me and my dog Sadie. She had the best week with him. He took her on long walks, cuddled with her and made sure she got all her love and exercise. He sent me beautiful photos twice a day and let me know how she slept and how she ate and made sure to respond right away when I messaged. He really was the best host. Both Sadie and I felt lucky!”
“This was my first experience with Guillermo and Siobhan and everything went smoothly. We had done a meet and great several months ago and my puppy seemed comfortable with Guillermo and their dog. We mutually reconfirmed the details and everything went smoothly. They sent an update and a photo- much appreciated.”
About: I offer a calm, personalized environment by caring for only a few dogs at a time—never more than three—so each pup gets plenty of attention. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special routines, and I’m comfortable reinforcing training or providing gentle, senior-friendly care. My backyard is fully fenced for safe, comfortable outdoor play, and my own mellow, friendly dog makes a wonderful companion for visiting pups. I send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, relaxed, and in good hands. I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I’m around all day to hang out with the pups, give them potty breaks, and sneak in some playtime between work tasks. We usually start and end the day with a walk, and in between there’s plenty of supervised backyard playtime. In my home, dogs enjoy a balanced mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection. I keep a calm, relaxed atmosphere and follow each pup’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to favorite toys and nap spots—so they feel right at home. Dogs have regular potty breaks and safe outdoor play in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always close by to supervise. I host no more than three dogs at a time, ensuring each one gets individual attention, along with companionship from my mellow, friendly resident dog.
“Anthony & Yixin are awesome! They took good care of our dog Gyoza. They sent pictures and updates on how she was doing while we were away. She was so happy, I’m not even sure if she actually missed us. We’re grateful for their care and we’ll be sure to call them again when we need to board her. Thanks Anthony and Yixin!”
“Jamyl and his family took care of Mira our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel very well. I will be a repeat customer. He kept us abreast with pictures on a regular basis and Mira looked very happy”
“Olga was wonderful! She shared so many videos and photos of Juneau while he was staying with her and was always super responsive. She took Juneau on lots of fun adventures and he came back to us very happy and very tired :)”
“Communicative, kind, and definitely an animal lover. I felt so at ease knowing my cat Buster was in her care. She frequently sent pictures and videos as well as updates on behaviors and how he was settling in. My cat was clearly so comfortable and happy staying with her. She was also very flexible when it came to my flight delay causing me to pick up buster a little bit later than planned. Thank you for taking such good care of my Buster!”
