“We left our 4 month old puppy in Sarah and her family’s care for 2 days and they took very good care of him. She had great communication with me leading up to and during his stay. Her entire family was a part of making our puppy’s stay a fun and stress free time. I would recommend her to care for your furry loved ones if you are going away or just need a companion for the day. Thank you Sarah!!!”
“We had very good experience with Shavon. This was the first time we leave our dog behind for a week. Shavon took care of him very professionally.Specially he got a hot spot . She took him to the vet and gave him medication on time. He feels better in 2 days. She keeps sending us photos, videos and all the updates. I highly recommend Shavon's services.”
“Dolly did great with her stay with Rebecca! She got all the cuddles and comfort she needed and I came back to a happy excited girl. Rebecca was great to deal with, quick to reply and truly cared how to best take care of my pup.”
“We will definitely be booking with them again. Pratheeksha and Nilaykumar were kind & responsive to any questions I asked, and gave each of our 2 cats the attention and support they needed. I deeply appreciated the consistent updates with photos of our cats and notes about their behaviour and activities throughout each day. Our cats enjoyed exploring their generous space and entertaining wide window. One of my cats didn’t even want to leave! He had so much fun playing with them. They were even so patient, kind & accommodating when he woke them up throughout the first night for attention. Even my other skittish cat felt comfortable enough to explore their space. You just cannot get this level of care & attention and this much space with most cat hotels or animal hospitals. Highly recommend.”
“Our small dog had a great experience with Wenyu. We met him and his wife as well as his dogs prior to our booking and this allowed us to put our mind at ease. A medical issue came up with our dog just before dropping her off and Wenyu had no issues with dispensing her needed medication. They took great care of her and she seemed at ease and rested when we picked her up. I highly recommend Wenyu.”
“Shaira has been incredibly helpful! My dog, Kiwi adores Shaira and happily to be with her . She is dependable, and trustworthy. She keeps me informed when I'm away, which is very reassuring and never fails to give me updates and photos most of the time that I’m away. I can’t imagine not having her!”
“I’ve left Apollo with Karrie twice now and I’m so thankful for her help. She has excellent communication skills and is very flexible when it comes to pick ups and drop offs. Apollo seems to love his time with Karrie and Lily!”
“Sara is everything you need in a perfect sitter for your pup! She is very friendly, realiable, trustworthy and responsive. She sends updates with picture and video. My puppy just loves her and can't wait for another boarding with her!”
“Our dog came home happy and relaxed from her stay with Ana. She has a very calm way with animals, and you can tell she really loves them. We appreciated the photos and updates she sent while we were away.”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals and have been caring for my own dog for the past 5 years. I also occasionally care for friends' and family's pets as well. I am a student, and I work full-time, but I am available on the weekends and in the evenings to walk and care for animals. I have my own dog that will keep your pet company and will be home to play and ensure your pet is cared for as my own.
About: Hi, name is Michelle! I have a passion for animals of all types! I was in the pet industry for over 4 years caring for many different types of reptiles, all small animals, birds, fish, cats, dogs, you name it! I love every critter out there and treat each one likes it’s my own. If you need someone to look after your pet, take it for a walk or even just check in while you’re away or at work I’m your girl! I also have a lot of experience with administering medication and watching pets with special care. I’m reliable for you and patient with your pets. Im excited to cuddle them, love them and take care of them for you. A house is not a home without a pet🤍 I work in real estate with my husband so my schedule is very flexible and I do most of my job from my computer so I have ample time to spend with your furry friends. Although I had to technically select that I live in an apartment I actually live on the main level of a warehouse condo with private access, a yard and a garage!

Lacey is so kind and had great communication!! I highly recommend her!! If we are ever in the area again we know who we can trust!”
About: Hi, I’m Diana a reliable and attentive dog owner with hands on experience caring for my own energetic 3-year old pup. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive energy are when it comes to keeping dogs happy and well behaved. I’m great at reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and creating a safe, enjoyable walking experience tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs a calm stroll, structured leash training, or high energy playtime, I bring care, confidence, and consistency to every walk. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I already prioritize regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and grooming. I enjoy staying active, so adding in more walks and pet visits fits seamlessly into my day. Caring for other pets feels like an extension of what I already love doing—being outdoors, staying active, and spending quality time with animals. It keeps me grounded, present, and joyful, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am visiting your home or hosting your pet in mine, I create a calm, secure environment where your dog feels safe and cared for. In your home, I follow your routine closely including feeding, walks, and rules so your dog feels at ease in their own space. I am respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. When pets are in my home, I dog-proof the space, remove hazards, and provide a relaxed environment with plenty of love, supervision, and structured downtime. My own dog is well-socialized and friendly, so your pup will have a gentle companion to keep them company if desired. With every pet I care for, I focus on trust, routine, and communication so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
