“Alec was great with our pups, communicative while we were gone, our place was left clean and we will certainly use him again!”
2. Vanessa J.
“We have used Vanessa twice for boarding while we’ve been away and she is incredible! She is respectful of our home and does a fantastic job with our dog. She sends photos and videos daily which I really appreciate!”
3. Rosalie M.
“We had Rosalie over to look after our cat and spend the day with him. He was 1 of 5 when he was adopted into the family but recently became 1 of 1. So he is quite lonely when no one is home for an extended period of time and when we do arrive home he will tell us so in no uncertain terms! Rosalie arrived a little early which was great and was set to stay the day. When we arrived home after being gone almost 12 hours he was relaxed and happy. Rosalie is now his person that is just for him. We received a selfie of him and felt like we didn’t have to rush home. We will be using her again!”
4. Ha Anh L.

6. Bradley B.
“Brad has watched my dog several times, he comes and stays at the house while lm gone. My dog just loves seeing him come, they go for daily walks and visit the dog park because Brad asked first if that was permitted. Brad is a very respectful and trustworthy person and does a fantastic job.”
7. Liz R.
“I highly recommend Liz to care for your fur baby and home. She went above and beyond for us as our Dog was post surgery “cone head” and we had an ongoing issue in our home as well. We had to travel for a family event and Liz came to our rescue. She took great care of Our dog Charly ensuring he was comfortable and at ease. She did frequent checks on our house issue and reported back to us. She has also been available for additional walks with Charly as needed. Liz is a caring, attentive person.”

9. Ashley R.
“Ashley has helped taking care of my teacup poodle/chichuaha on a regular basis while I am away for work. Ashley has a ton of experience working with pets in general. I cannot say enough positive about how Ashley is with Bubby. Bubby is very skittish and takes a long time, sometimes over 6 months, to warm up to people.by the second visit, Bubby was happy and excited to spend time with Ashley. Ashley is extremely kind, patient, and gentle with dogs, including my little guy who has some stranger aggression”
10. Dulcéana M.
“Dulcéana took very good care of our dog Rocky for the long weekend. She was very easy and reliable to communicate with and constantly updated us with pictures. Rocky has had severe leash reactivity issues towards other dogs for the past 3 years, and amazingly Dulcéana was able to bring him to an off leash dog park where he was finally able to interact with other dogs. This has immensely helped us as we have been to so many other dog trainers in the past and none have been able to solve this issue. Would definitely recommend and will be in touch the next time we go out of town. Thank you so much!!”
11. Brooke W.
“Brooke has been involved with pets of all kinds, worked at a vet clinic, and rescuing animals for a number of years now. Brooke has looked after our pet, Mandy, several times and loves her as her own. Brooke is the loving owner of several rescue pets. Brooke is a very conscientious loving young lady. I know from experience that she will take great care of your dear pet.”
12. Abigail O.
“100/10 Recommend! There are no words to express how wonderful Abby is, as a person and as a pet caregiver. There is no one I would trust more with my fur babies. Abby's attention to detail is remarkable. My pets have very specific diets/needs and Abby was so accommodating to ensure that they were given the best care when I was unable to be there. Abby did more than just walk and feed my furry friends, she played with them and gave them attentive care with lots of cuddles. Abby ensured that my pets felt loved in my absence and I am forever grateful for her professionalism and nurturing spirit!”
13. Janelle C.
“Janelle stayed with our 2 dogs overnight. They both have health issues so the list I left for her was quite in depth. She followed out instructions perfectly without issue. My dogs also have some reactivity issues. She was willing to take this on and did a great job with them. Thank you Janelle! We were very pleased with your services!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 14 years. I have a dog named Mika, she splits her time between my home and my parents. So if your dog doesn’t enjoy canine company I can ensure an empty safe space. Your furry friend will be in safe and experienced hands with me. I have taken care of many dog breeds, from small to big in size. I make sure to give my clients’ pets the utmost care - ensuring timely feeding and pee breaks, along with frequent walks. I am flexible to your pets needs, whatever they may be. I enjoy playing one-on-one to keep your pet engaged indoors or outside. Whether your pet prefers a calmer home atmosphere, relaxing on the couch, going on long walks or playing outdoors in a green area - I have it covered! Let’s chat. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can take walks during the weekday or evenings - and most weekends too! Let me know and we can arrange a routine schedule or a one off walk around the block. My spacious home is “pet proofed” because I’m always ready for four-legged visitors. I have a fully stocked treat pantry just in case. Cozy blankets are a must, so I have plenty. My yard is not fenced in but I have a large patio that is fenced in with patio furniture for sun bathing!
