“We had a really good experience leaving our dog for the first time while the family was away for as 4 day vacation. Gail was really nice, and sent us a daily update along with pictures and videos. The dogs have plenty of space to move around, and they are taken care of.”


“Diana and her family took amazing care of our senior poodle, Bu. She took him in last minute and saved the day, she and her family were warm, welcoming and very reassuring; Bu is senior so he is almost blind, we left on our trip happy and trusting that Bu was taken care of with love and care! They sent photos and Bu was always comfortable doing the things he loves most! Thank you with all our hearts!”


“My black lab puppy, Luna, had an absolutely amazing time during her recent boarding stay! From the moment I dropped her off, it was clear she was in a safe, loving, and well-kept environment. The home is lovely and located in a peaceful neighborhood—perfect for a pup like Luna who loves to explore but also enjoys her quiet time. The fenced-in yard was a dream come true for her! She had plenty of space to run, play, and get all that puppy energy out safely. I could tell she felt right at home and was genuinely happy during her stay. I received updates and photos that showed her tail-wagging, lounging in the sun, and playing with joy. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Luna. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was not just being watched, but truly cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—Luna can’t wait to go back!”


“Michael was great and very communicative throughout the two days my dog stayed with him. He has a beautiful house as well and sent lots of photos of my dog enjoying his temporary home. I will definitely be back ! Thank you again Michael !”


“Our little bichon mix is 17+ years old - special food, picky eater, meds, hard of hearing, anxious. Idania was absolutely perfect for him. I know this because she sent photos and especially videos every day of him happily romping through the lawn on his walks, eating, and even sitting still to pose with a hat (which is more than we can accomplish). Idania carefully reviewed instructions with us, and is always responsive. It is obvious that she truly cares about the well-being about the pets under her watch and wanted our dog to feel happy and loved. We are very grateful.”


“Silvia was exceptional!!! We will only contract Silvia for Louie’s when we go away. It was so nice that she also has such a great dog to play with Louie.”


“Erick’s a great dog sitter. He communicated and asked questions to make sure my dog was taken care of well. Sent pictures and videos my dog playing with the other dogs and on walks. When I picked up my dog, he seemed like he had a great time. Overall easy and pleasant to work with too. I highly recommend.”


“Monica and her husband were incredible. I had a very stressful situation that required me to have someone take care of my little girl. Monica sent pictures and updates every single day and truly took a lot of that stress away. I’m incredibly grateful and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Denise took such great care of my dog, Samson. He took him on walks, gave him lots of love, and kept me updated with pictures. I would definitely book her again!”


“Jenny was great, super communicative and accommodating when I arrived later for drop off then planned. My dog quickly felt comfortable with her and got cozy in her bed which is very appreciated as she always sleeps with me. I highly recommend her for your fur baby care.”


“Aliaksandra and her daughter Jessica were wonderful with Winston. I got photos and videos every day and several times a day. Winston learned Russian and is now an international.traveler. Will definitely book with them again.”


“Amazing communication Took great care of Mars She came home a happy girl”


“Alicia is great! She kept our little doggie happy, safe, and well fed for 11 days! We will definitely use her again the next time we need help!”


About: I've always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs. Caring for them has been a natural part of my life since I was young. What sets me apart is the calm, cozy home environment I provide—your pup will never be in a crowded kennel or overwhelmed by too many dogs. I offer personalized care, tailored to your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality. With a fully fenced yard for safe play and plenty of indoor snuggle space, your dog can relax and feel right at home. It’s like staying with a trusted friend who happens to love dogs! As a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages, I provide a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am able to give the pups plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, belly rubs during a break, or a midday walk, I’m always nearby to care for them. Their needs become part of my schedule, not an afterthought. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked here! In my home, I provide a calm, stress-free environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel truly at home—with a friendly resident dog ( a toy poodle) as a built-in playmate! It’s more like a fun sleepover, not a stay at a crowded kennel.

“Such a reliable, flexible, responsive and loving dogsitter! She is our go to whenever we have to leave out of town. She sends constant updates and communicates great. She takes my active dog for walks and plays fetch and overall gives her a lot of attention. I love the way she loves my dog. I know I can trust Luna will always be well taken care of with Bey. So grateful I found her!”


“Sophia was once again the most outstanding dog sitter ever!! Her and her husband are very kind, and Jerry really enjoyed his stay. Sophia provided great space for Jerry, they both gave him so much love and all of instructions were followed (since I left him with a bit of a tummy ache). He is happy and I don’t doubt he’d love to stay with Sophia again. Sophia was communicative the entire time I was away and I really am grateful to have found new friends that he feels comfortable with and loves. Thank you!!!”


“Donna was by far the best! Incredible how she is so prepared. Everyday I recieved pictures videos from Franco. She would keep me updated and I had to extend my stay and she was able to accommodate as well.Btw, she clearly loves animals, Franco is a bit sad that she is not around.. I will definetely be using her services again! Thank you Donna for being such a great companion for Franco :)”



“My dogs love staying with Christin! She takes wonderful care of them and they always come back happy. I feel so great knowing that my dogs are safe when I'm out of town. Thanks again!!”


“Jonathan was awesome! He treated Boogie like his own and was super thoughtful with the updates. Thank you for easing our anxiety by being an great cat sitter!”


“I’m so grateful to Cathe. She took such a great care of my cat Varya 🐱. The pictures of my pet that I was getting made me extremely happy and calm, she was in the good hands❤️ I would definitely recommend Cathe and will trust my animal to her again, when its needed.”
