“Hattie was amazing with our high energy Springer Spaniel. She maintained communication with us and sent lots of pictures through the 5 days we were away. Our dog has been highly anxious in the past, but he settled very quickly with Hattie. She was also really flexible with pick up & drop off - Hattie is highly recommended!”
“I couldn’t have been happier with Sully’s stay! Leslie and her husband were both so kind and took such wonderful care of him, which made leaving my little guy for the week so much easier. I really appreciated the updates and could tell Sully was happy, comfortable and very well loved while he was there. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely leave Sully with them again! 🤍”
About: I’ve always had dogs and have also fostered dogs of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate those differences. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special feeding instructions, and maintaining your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m home with the dogs throughout the day, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision. I offer both daytime care and overnight stays. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs for walks as well. I live on a quiet rural property with a large fenced-in yard and plenty of space to relax and play. I have two young children and one older dog who has previously lived happily with another dog and is accustomed to having other dogs around. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I’ll send regular photos and updates during their stay so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I can’t say enough good things about the care Leslie gave to Auggie. We really appreciated how well she kept us updated throughout his stay, and Auggie was happy and content when we came to get him.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! She looked after my 8-month-old Pug/Bulldog mix for four days and did an amazing job. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly very well cared for. Being a young pup in a new environment, he decided to mark his territory when he first arrived 🙈, and she handled it with patience and understanding. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and always reached out with any questions or concerns. I really appreciated the communication and knowing he was in good hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him and his wellbeing. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby anywhere and we not sure to use the boarding service for her or not.☹️ But we must say , we were super satisfied with the boarding service provided by Smita , she kept us updated by sending pics and messages of our fur baby. We highly recommend her, if are looking for boarding service for your fur babies ?”
“You can trust your pup is in good hands with Liz. From the meet and greet to my puggles stay at her place you could see Liz's love for dogs. My pup came home happy and tuckered out. Highly recommend.”
About: I've house-sitted while taking care of different kinds of dogs large and tiny, I've administered medicine for guinea pigs dogs and cats, I have clipped cat nails for my own and other people's cats, I have experience training my own dogs and other people's dogs which i love to do! I have taken care of my own animals such as guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, dogs and cats. I currently am unemployed and am in school online with much flexibility, I live with my mother and sister, and home life is very quiet, im home almost all hours of the day. I have a cat who doesn't like other animals but she goes to the basement when she needs to without issues (she loves it down there) I do have a pretty small backyard, I have a big deck and grass. My backyard is fenced in. My house is small but safe!
“Marcia and her family were absolutely wonderful with our little Frankie. They welcomed her into their home and treated her very well. We couldn't be happier with care they provided her. Frankie is looking forward to her next holiday with Marcia and her family!!”
“Rugile & Eimantas were the perfect couple to look after our Sophia! I could tell they spent a lot of time interacting with Sophia by the many photos and videos they sent with the updates. We were put at ease knowing that Sophia was so well looked after. Highly recommended!”
“Neri and Robert are very caring people who love dogs. Our puppy obviously liked them, and felt comfortable with them. Neri took her to visit people in a nursing home, and to Home Depot where our pup could share her gregarious personality. We loved getting Neri’s texts and pictures every day while we were away. We felt comfortable that she was receiving kind and loving care.”
“This was our first time sending Nori for boarding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She stayed with Avijeet for 8 days, and every single day we got updates and photos that made us smile. Nori and Leo became best buddies so quickly, and it was clear she was loved like family. Knowing she was in such a safe, caring, and responsible space gave us complete peace of mind while we travelled. We are so grateful for the care Avijeet and his family gave her. Highly recommend!”
“My cat Littles stayed with Jiale for 12 nights. Jiale made sure Littles had a safe space from her own kitty, gave lots of pets, and sent me updates with pictures and videos. Usually, after a typical boarding place, Littles comes home agitated and starving for affection, but after staying with Jiale she came back home calm and content - I think she liked the stay.”
“Such a great experience! Sarah was so caring with Ollie and kept us updated throughout his stay without us even having to ask. She was very responsive and made us feel completely at ease. Ollie came home happy and tired, so we know he had lots of fun playing! We’d definitely book with her again. 🐶❤️”
“Alejandra rescued us last minute and took incredible care of our senior dog Maggie for a whole week!! We set up a last minute meet and greet, and our Maggie got along with Alejandra's beautiful dog Moka, and we were so relieved to know that we were leaving our special girl in compassionate and capable hands. It was clear from the beginning that Alejandra loves dogs and was up to the task of looking after our large breed, senior dog with some special needs. Her back yard and house are lovely and welcoming, and she communicated with us often through messages and photos/videos about Maggie (getting settled in, eating and walking, and playing with her new furry friend Moka.) I trusted Alejandra immediately, and knew that if Maggie needed any extra care, that she was right there to notice and communicate. Thank you so much Alejandra for taking such amazing care of Maggie for us. We had a great vacation and it seems Maggie did as well! Highly recommend!!”
“I have the most anxious dog who’s scared of strangers, which naturally makes me an anxious owner when I’m away. But my dog just stayed with Tauane for the third time, and once again, he had an absolute blast. As always, Tauane gave me total peace of mind — I knew he was safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to be able to leave him in such good hands. I’ll be booking with Tauane again without a second thought!”
