“Leslie is absolutely the best! She was so amazing with our high energy Boxer pup, Benny. Her dogs were so friendly to him too. We were beyond anxious about leaving him but she kept us in the loop with pics while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Ru watched our dog—Bailey—for us while we went on a trip abroad for a week and a half and she was amazing! She updated us and sent pictures of Bailey to us regularly, which made us never worry about if Bailey was doing okay. Ru was also very flexible in extending Bailey’s stay with her by a few hours when our flight back home was unexpectedly canceled. Overall, I highly recommend Ru to watch your companion animals—she’s wonderful!”

“Chip LOVED his stay with Felix. He came home truly tuckered out after a weekend of fun, and even learned to bring the ball back with fetch. I asked Felix if he wanted Chip’s travel crate and he said “where I go, Chip goes” which honestly gave me such peace of mind being my first time leaving him. It’s clear that Felix loves dogs, and I knew my Chip man was in great hands. We will definitely be seeing Felix again!!”


“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”

About: My family and I are ready to love your pet(s) while you're away. Traveling and leaving your loved one behind can be a stressful time for both the pet and pet parent. I am eager to provide your pet(s) comfort during this time. When boarding, I prefer to host pets from one family at a time (unless previously communicated) to help give your pet the comfort and the focused attention they deserve (and constant care)! Overall, I love interacting with animals. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. Just a little backstory, I retired from healthcare after 16 years to begin a career change to environmental science. My online college class schedule offers flexibility and will coordinate to the best of my ability with your pet's specific needs. Occasionally, I will block my schedule so if you do not see availability you need, please feel free to contact me to see if we can make it happen! I typically respond pretty quickly! In order to provide the best care for your dog, I prefer to host dogs from one family at a time (unless previously communicated otherwise). I have a fenced in backyard. I like the process of learning the animal and their mannerisms. That truly gives me the direction to take the best care of each pet. Paying attention to detail is important in the well-being of any animal.

“Extremely happy. Buddy liked Samantha right away. Drop off and pick up were super easy. She sent me pics of my little guy so I could see that he was adjusting well. Definitely will book with her again.”


“Pam is a delight. I highly recommend. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, detailed with care needs, ensured Toby's safety, preferences had been provided and comfort. Pam was very prompt with responding. Provided timely updates with pictures. From our initial meet, drop off and pick up, I experienced such a loving environment and felt Toby was very much welcomed, cared for and had fun running with Pam's little fur babies. Pam's dogs and two cats are very social and adorable. Pam let him sleep in her bed at night knowing he does same at home. Toby returned home very relaxed and showed no signs of being stressed. She truly welcomed and cared for Toby as if her own. I already booked his next stay. Thank you Pam!”



“I went out of town for a few days and left my dog Spark with Timothy. 10/10, I received pictures everyday and updates! Clean environment very professional and patient!! Spark definitely had a good time!!”
