We couldn't have been more pleased with the care Jifu provided for our dog. He was responsive, professional, and, most importantly, handled our very energetic pup with care. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Jifu and his dog, Joki!

India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.

Tillana took great care of Copper. She took him on all kinds of fun adventures and kept us updated with photos. We felt so happy to know Copper was having a great time while we were gone! We'll definitely leave Copper with Tillana again the next time we go out of town.

Nina and Leo are amazing! As our dog, Oreo is shy to people and very much attached to me, we'd been really anxious before the stay, the first boarding in his life. But we didn't need to! The photos they sent us relieved our concerns. At the pick-up, he was excited and looked happy between them and us:)

Lucky had a wonderful time staying at Sein’s home! She took great care of her and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Lucky’s daily life, along with detailed summaries of her routine—meals, playtime, and potty breaks. This really put our minds at ease while we were away. Sein was also very responsive and always quick to answer any questions or concerns. Lucky clearly enjoyed her stay, especially spending time with the other dogs and cats. We truly appreciate her care and will definitely bring Lucky back again in the future!

Manli was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Molly. She was flexible and understanding when our return was delayed, which we really appreciated. She also sent lots of adorable photo updates, and it was clear that Molly felt right at home. She got along so well with the other dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such a caring environment. Highly recommend!

Christopher is one of those incredible sitters that makes you reassured that your pups are enjoying themselves as much as you are during your vacation. Toko and Arya recently spent 8 days with him while we were out of town and then dealing with urgent matters that meant we couldn’t bring them home as soon as we were back. Christopher was flexible and communicative through the whole process and sent me detailed updates of how the pups were doing. We loved seeing his daily photos of Toko and Arya – they clearly enjoyed their stay! They went on daily walks together and even relaxed enough to play together, which was a joy to see. I appreciate all the care Christopher put in to making sure these anxious pups were well-fed, happy, and tired out!

About: I've taken care of small dogs and large dogs since I was in middle school. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them lots of hugs and pets, and taking them on excursions, whether it be to the dog park, beach, or a scenic hiking trail. I work part-time from home so I am able to spend lots of time with the fur babies in my care. I love to take them out for fresh air and exercise, and give them lots of love, pets, and attention. I have a fenced, grassy backyard and a friendly labrador retriever named Sadie who is very sweet and playful and loves having other dogs to play with. We have a doggie door so the pups have day and night access to the backyard to run around and do their business. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you prefer.
