“Amazing rover. Her daughter is great with dogs and she gave lots of updates and pictures. She took the time to know my dog at drop off and make sure he felt safe. Would book again!”
“This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.”
“Dolev was very considerate and accommodating towards my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. She was quick to respond to any questions I had prior to booking and while Chip was in her care she sent me updates as requested. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
About: My six-year-old bordoodle Harley is the love of my life, and caring for him has taught me so much about what dogs need to feel happy and secure. We trained him ourselves, taught him dozens of tricks and worked with him through service dog training. Our days together are full of long walks, playtime and plenty of hanging out, and I'd love to give your dog that same attention, patience and care while you're away. I work remotely, so I am available to give your pets lots of attention and love. I also walk my own dog three times a day so your pup could fit right into our routine. Pets in my home are treated with love and respect, with routines around meals, walks and play I make sure they have a great stay and fit right into the family. Also happy to do local walks, alongside my friendly boordoodle, Harley.
“Jessica gave our pup Zara all the love while we were away for the weekend!! She was very easy to communicate with and provided updates and pictures daily. We will absolutely be boarding Zara with Jessica again in the future!”

Lindsay kept us informed on how Zoe was doing. It was our first time using her. She sent us pictures daily of Zoe. When we picked Zoe up she was very happy, no weight loss. Once home her stools remained totally formed. ( in the past she would get anxiety diarrhea & it would take us up to 2 weeks to get her bowels back to normal. All the dogs she was caring for, while Zoe was there, seemed happy. We will be using her again.
