Anna is compassionate, and communicates very well! She was extremely positive when my dog has trouble adjusting and always willing to try something to help. Her care made a world of difference! Highly recommend Anna as a dog caregiver and a human!

5 stars is certainly not enough for Emma and Marco. My dog Nellie already misses them. I was never anxious regarding leaving Nellie with them from the first meet and greet and all throughout my vacation. Communication and wonderful pictures reassured me Nellie was completely accepting of her own vacation with Emma and Marco. I look forward, as does Nellie to another adventure in the future.

Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again

Destini is the best with my dog Zinni! This is my second time boarding my pup with Destini and it won’t be my last. She’s so great about communicating and sending lots of pictures and videos showing how happy my girl is during her stay.

I had a great experience with Mecheal. I left my 10-month-old Aussie with her for a week, and I was nervous about leaving him with someone new. She took excellent care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which really helped ease my worries. It was clear that my pup was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! Will definitely use her again

Laura was absolutely wonderful with Bean this weekend. She treated her like her own and gave her so much love and attention. Bean was completely spoiled — she even got to sleep in bed with them! 🥰 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring, capable hands. Laura kept us updated and made the whole experience seamless. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love on your pup. Thank you again for taking such great care of our girl!

We just got our puppy about a month ago and was very worried about what we do with him for our already planned trip! Jaylese was very responsive. We booked a meet and greet and I was already so comfortable leaving my pup with her! We received daily pictures and updates!! I am soooo happy we went with Jaylese! She will be used for our pup in the future!!! Thank you for taking great care of our pup ❤️

We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.

Estelle looked after our pug Henry for a weekend, and the entire time we were able to relax and feel confident that he was happy and in good hands. Her home is beautiful and set up really nicely for the dogs, with a large clean fenced-in yard to play in, and lots of toys and beds for them to occupy themselves. Her dogs are sweet and made Henry right at home. Estelle regularly sent photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. He was always treated like part of the family and I think for him it was just a fun weekend with friends. I will absolutely be boarding Henry with Estelle again and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I was nervous leaving my baby girl with someone who I had only met once as a meet and greet. I have to say I was extremely happy. I got messages daily along with pictures. Willow was very relaxed and happy and after the first 24 hours I didn’t have to worry about Willow she was having her own vacation. When she came home she was was relaxed and not at all stressed which was very comforting. I would highly recommend Yajaira, and we will be using her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby girl.

I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!

About: I’ve taken care of pets, dogs of all sizes, cats. I’ve given medicine orally, and insulin shots. I have sat for pets for several years for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I love spending time with all animals between long walks, hiking, and just hanging out on the couch. I work full time but I telework several times per week. Weekends completely available. When I’m at the office my partner is home 24/7 so the pets will never be alone! I have a lead going from the back deck to the shed (across my whole yard) I have two very friendly dogs and cats. I can crate if needed & there is space available if your dog needs to decompress alone without other animals. I slowly introduce animals to make sure everyone coexists well. All dogs are fed separately to avoid any food aggression. We have an over sized, fully gated and covered back deck that the dogs can also hangout on with us safely.

About: Not only have I cared for other people's animals, but I have a furry friend of my own. I know what it takes to love and care for our little family members, and I know what an owner would expect from a caregiver. I take time out of every day to ensure my dog has the best possible care I can provide, and I'll give the same effort to your pet. I have always felt a special bond to animals. At a young age I started caring for animals and slowly gaining more responsibility over their care. I have left food out and changed litter boxes for cats while owners are away, and stayed over for multiple days to care for rescue dogs who needed the company and support while their owner's were away. I work 100% from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am a professional and already use my break times to get outside and take walks / go to parks, so getting your pet exercise is not an issue. I defer to the requests and comfortability of each client. Every pet is unique, and I want to give the best possible care for each furry friend.

Angela has once again exceeded my expectations caring for my pup, Eleanor. I let her know she had an upset stomach before coming and Angela had chicken with rice ready to go. As always, I received daily pictures and updates of Eleanor with her besties, romping around the big yard. Thank you for opening your home a second time, we'll be back soon!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who enjoys giving dogs the attention, activity, and comfort they deserve. I work from home, which means your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have someone around. I live an active lifestyle and love taking dogs on walks, getting outside, and making sure they get both exercise and affection. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and sending photo updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home during the day, so while I do need to stay at my desk for most of my work hours, your dog will still have regular opportunities to go outside and stretch throughout the day. I’m able to let dogs out for bathroom breaks and fresh air during breaks. After work, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks and spending quality time playing and relaxing with them. My schedule allows me to provide consistent care and companionship in a calm home environment. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for fresh air and bathroom breaks. Because I work from home, your dog will not be left alone for long periods of time. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I aim to provide a calm, safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong

Agnes was wonderful with our 14yr old cockapoo. She is an older dog set on her ways and can be nervous around other dogs. We received and update from Agnes and appreciate the care she offered to our Sasha.

Brittany was great. She was really good about checking in and sending me updates, even when I was in an area with no cell service/wifi so was not able to respond to her messages. My dog is old and has slowed down a lot, and I could tell when I picked him up that she had been patient and taken good care of him.
