About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”
About: My name is Jiayi H, go by Joyce. I live in a 2 story house (basement and first floor are dog-friendly) and our house surrounded by park and trails so it will be a lot of running around and playing time if your dogs stay here with me. I have a lovable, friendly 2-year-old Australian Labradoodle, Luca, that I spoil silly as I will with you pup as well. I have puppy training experience, raised Luca from 8 week, and took care of 13 yrs old dog for 3 months. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I love taking pictures and videos of them so you will feel updated and can enjoy your time away knowing that you will have no worries. I’m working from home so most of my time will be caring your pup and Luca. Daycare drop off at 7:00-8:30 am and pickup hours are between 5-6 pm. Any time after 6 pm please let me know as soon as possible, and I can offer boarding or extended hours as well. I have unfenced yard, one dog crate, and playpen for puppies. For daycare and boarding, I will walk your dog 2 times a day, including 20-min walks in the morning and after dinner; will also do 2 potty breaks at noon and bed time.

Moyu L.
“Moyu L. is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially with dogs. He’s raised his golden retriever Daisy since she was just 2 months old—taking her out every 3 hours, making nutritious meals, and training her with both voice and hand commands (even taking her to a training school!). His dog is incredibly well-behaved, which says a lot about Moyu’s patience and attention to detail. He’s also helped dog-sit for our friends’ dogs, from small breeds to large ones such as Bernedoodle, and always adapts to each dog’s unique needs with ease. Moyu is great at handling a wide variety of personalities—from calm and gentle pups to energetic, playful ones. Whether it’s special diets, routines, or just extra cuddles, Moyu handles it all with love and care. Anyone would be lucky to have him look after their pup!”
