“Tonisa was an awesome sitter for Koda. This was Koda’s first time being away from us for such a long period of time so i was apprehensive but after meeting Tonisa I felt at ease. During Koda’s stay, Tonisa sent frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”

“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of my Dazz, the videos and updates kept me at ease as I was in another country. Would definitely use your service again!”


“E.K. was a miracle send. I was in a pinch where my original sitter cancelled last minute (days before I had to leave on a two week trip); all the while I was going through some family issues, and finding a back up for boarding my baby was so stressful. E.K. stepped in to help when needed, and all was as smooth as I could’ve hoped for. She even helped transport him. Definitely took a weight off of my shoulders and very glad I found her. Would definitely use her again.”

“Katherine is great! She did a wonderful job caring for my dog. While my pup is a very gentle and easygoing, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Katherine was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She even shared pictures and updates, every time my pup had a smile on her face. When I came home, my dog was relaxed and content—exactly what I had hoped for after our long trip. I really appreciate the care and professionalism Katherine showed. I will keep booking as long as she accepts!”

“Tashea and Dushan did an amazing job watching my 2 month old American Bully. I was nervous because it was my first time away from her, but they kept me updated with pictures and videos and she looked super happy in every single one. I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”

“I really appreciate him and his wife for watching my dog, they saved me because my original sitter had canceled at the last minute. They sent pictures and videos, also communicated with me. I definitely will be booking with them again”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”

“Tamara was just great! Kept me updated and was flexible with schedule when my plans changed, I could tell Cleo had plenty of walks and attention as well as new friends”


“Dwight is amazing with my pups. I feel very confident they are happy that they are well taken care of. And they have an added bonus of play time with his two dogs!! Bonanza!”


“Yeju was great!! She gave an update each day with pictures and took my pup on plenty of walks. She even baked some dog treats to share when picking up. 10/10 would book again!”

“my flight was delayed several times during the government shut down, Rina kept giving me updates about Levi and was very understanding and flexible with his pick up times she helped me out so much in a crisis! Thank you, Rina!!”

“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”

“Manuel is the best sitter I could have found for my dog. He took such good care of my corgi Kit, and kept me updated the whole time. He looked after his sensitive paws and made sure Kit was entertained. I really appreciate the social time with other dogs that Kit got during his stay. Manuel is very responsive, attentive, kind, and reliable. Thank you so much for looking after my pup for the holidays. Will definitely book with Manuel again the next time I’m out of town.”

“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”


About: For many years, I have cared for my own pets, developing a deep affection and understanding for them. I have also provided loving and responsible care to other pets belonging to friends and neighbors. My experience in caring for elderly individuals has also enhanced my empathy and dedication. I am passionate about the well-being of animals and the peace of mind of their owners. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide consistent care and maintain pets’ routines. I am available daily and can adapt to their feeding, rest, and companionship schedules. On Sundays, I attend church, and on some weekdays I may be out in the afternoon for short periods, always planning ahead to ensure pets are comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I keep spaces organized and free of hazards, always respecting their feeding, rest, and play routines. I supervise pets constantly and make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and attention according to their needs. My priority is for them to feel safe, cared for, and at home.

“After a quick move to out of state move to Chicago with a vacation already planned, we had to scramble to find somewhere for our dogs go. Our dogs stayed with Ashley for a full week and it was such a relief to know they were well taken care of. We received frequent pictures and updates during the week. One of our dogs is having a hard time adjusting to city life and Ashley was very accommodating and gracious with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future!”

“Megan was so sweet!. This was the first time we needed to board our baby for a few days. Megan eased our worries. She was in contact with us throughout the day. She sent lots of pics of our baby. Definitely will be a return customer!”

Elizabeth is great! Bleu clearly had a wonderful time. She can struggle with anxiety and want feeling great but Elizabeth managed all of that and helped make bleu comfortable. I especially appreciated Elizabeth’s love and knowledge of pits which helped me to know she was with someone who understood her and would take great care of her.

Brandon took care of our dog for over a week while our family took a very last minute vacation. He was very responsive and sent videos and pictures. We extended our trip and he was super flexible with that. He also makes sure the Dogs get regular walks outside every day. Really great person to leave your animals with.
We had the best experience with Khala. While we went out of town, we decided to board our boy, Zeus. We met Khala at a dog park and everything went so well. Khala is very friendly, warm, professional and very experienced with pets. She is accommodating and very prompt and super flexible with our last minute schedule changes. We will def be using Khala for our upcoming trips. Zeus was very happy staying at her place and she provided photos/updates while Zeus was staying at her place.

Destine was able to watch Louie on short notice and flexible to make the situation work. Lou has needed daily cleaning of his cheek where an abscess was drained and Destine was very attentive with this. She took him on walks, gave some of his favorite treats, and overall made sure he was comfy and happy the best she could.
