“Michael took such good care of my dog Jordan. Jordan has a few health issues and Michael was able to administer his medication on time. He also sent me pictures and updates during the day. Jordan loved his stay with Michael and his family. Would definitely have him stay again in the future Thank you Michael!”


“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”


“So happy to have found Marta. The Meet and Greet was great, it was comforting to know that Kenzie would be in an environment similar to home, which is exactly what I was looking for. I used Marta for daycare a few days and it was so sweet to receive updates and pics. I already rebooked Kenzie for boarding!”


“Paula took great care of Felix today. He came home as a happy puppy! She took detailed notes throughout the day and took pictures of Felix. Highly recommend Paula for your special pup!”


“Balaji and Sanna are truly the best. Continuous and unconditional love is given to our sweet Penny. We never worry when she is with them. We undoubtedly trust them and are extremely pleased with how amazing and wonderful they sincerely are.”


“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”


“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”

“Dory, our 11-month old Goldendoodle, had so much fun with Yuliia! She was very communicative before drop-off, sent updates throughout the stay (even videos!), and Dory came back happy and healthy. Thanks so much!”


“Trust her with my eyes closed ❤️ My doggy loves Antonina and happy every time he sees her. Amazing home and amazing service, watched and took care of him as if he was her own.”


“This was our first time leaving our puppy Flynn with Patricia and we will definitely ask her to watch him again! Patricia was kind and very communicative through the whole process. We really felt like our Flynn was very well taken care of by Patricia. Thank you so much!!”



“Zoey had a blast! She spent the whole day outside with Ewa. Ewa sent some adorable videos too! Thanks for taking wonderful care of our puppy!”


“Xiaolin was incredible! She was so kind and cheery and their place is immaculate. I love how they only watch two dogs max as mine gets a little nervous and overwhelmed with bigger groups. Tsunami was walked and loved and I knew she did amazing because usually my dog won’t eat when she is nervous, but ate all the treats by the time I picked her up! That just shows how great Xiaolin was with her. She’s quick to respond and I love that she wants a little meet and greet to see if they have compatible temperaments. It made me feel better seeing the place first too! Thank you so much Xiaolin!”


About: I love taking care of dogs. I have my own dog who is very friendly and loves to play but also loves to be lazy. I've watched dogs for friends and family members for years and always enjoy it so I decided to open my home to more frequent furry guests. All dogs are treated like my own and get lots of love and attention (or space, if that's what they prefer). I'm happy to administer medications or accommodate individual needs. Working from home full-time enables me to closely supervise furry guests and allow for plenty of time to tend to their needs and provide lots of outside time by opening and closing the door multiple times a day (haha). I have a fenced-in yard and large deck for doggy sunbathing. My dog loves having canine guests and doesn't mind sharing me, his bed, toys, or food. I also have a 12-year-old daughter who absolutely loves having more dogs around. I have lots of extra blankets and allow dogs on the furniture and beds. Everything is washed regularly. Paws are always wiped on muddy yard days. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or having a crate for alone time, that is perfectly fine, too.

About: Dog mom for 30 years giving love and care to dogs. I am organized, I follow a schedule, I love walking dogs and I have a high degree of responsibility. I have the flexibility to accompany them when you can't be at home with them. I have flexible schedule during my day because I have my kid at the school and I am flexible in my work. Also I can go at nights if the owner request. I think the pets feel more comfortable in their home. But if the owner feels the dog will be comfortable in my place, I can take of them in my home.

“Brianna was literally the best!! My pups had a blast and they were excited to go back the next day! She played with them, gave them enough rest, sent me tons of pictures throughout the day & even made the best tik tok of them!! Absolutely loved having her watch my pups! We will definitely book again!”

I am dedicated to caring for your dog around the clock. With flexible scheduling, your pet will always have loving attention and care they need. My house and fenced yard ensures a safe, secure environment for your dog. Trust our experience family to provide a loving, reliable, and comfortable home.

About: Growing up, I am thankful my family were avid animal lovers. Our home was always shared with cats, dogs, and fish. I have been fortunate enough that our love and care for animals has enabled us to have long living pets, with my first cat living until 18 years old and dog until 13 years old. This experience has given me a deep understanding of cat / dog behavior, their health needs, and how to provide the best care at every stage of their life. I’m comfortable managing everything from playful dogs/ kittens to senior dogs/cats with specific health concerns. I also understand the importance of building trust with both cats and dogs and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I'm dedicated to creating a routine that suits each pet's personality and needs, whether it's administering medication, providing companionship, or just offering a safe, loving environment. As I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, I am able to offer my pets, or the pets I'm sitting for, plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine to ensure that their needs are met, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just cuddling. I can offer multiple check-ins and am available for walks, play sessions, and monitoring health or behavior throughout the day. I will treat each pet with the utmost respect and care, ensuring that each pet receives proper attention and one-on-one time. I will make sure to follow each animal's regular routine and schedule as closely as possible. I am very conscientious of others' homes and will clean up after myself and the pets.

“Our dog had a great time staying at your house and playing with your dog! We were updated all day with pics and videos. We will definitely send Charlie again!”


“Elina saved the day with a last minute daycare request while I was visiting my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. She is a very caring and responsible, even asking for updated vaccination records to ensure all dogs she watches are safe and healthy. She sent many pictures and videos throughout the day and Verzy really enjoyed playing with Chas. We'll definitely call again next time we're in town.”


About: What sets me apart is my decade-long experience with dogs and my volunteer work at a local shelter. I have a genuine passion for animals and offer attentive care for dogs and cats of all ages. My approach is to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment while you're away. I work from home as an IT manager, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be present for your pets throughout the day. My background in technology helps me stay organized, while my love for animals ensures that your pets get the care and attention they deserve. I bring both reliability and compassion to every pet-sitting job. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or my client's home. I create a secure and pet-friendly environment by removing any hazards and ensuring all doors and gates are properly locked. I maintain open communication with pet owners and strictly follow their care instructions, providing updates and photos to keep them informed.
