“Leanne was great and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog Molly with her. Leanne gave us regular updates and photos to let us know Molly was doing well. Molly came home happy and tired after playing with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend Leanne and we will be using her again for daycare soon.”
“I couldn’t be any happier with having Kumudini watch my dog Romeo! She took such great care of him, giving him plenty of care, love, and exercise! It was clear from the updates and photos that Romeo felt completely comfortable and happy. I felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands - highly recommended!”
“Murphy loves Megan! She was very kind and took great care of him. She sent me lots of updates with pictures and videos and took him for walks. He couldn’t stop wagging his tail and he can’t wait to go back. Thank you Megan, you are amazing!”
“Took excellent care of our young golden retriever. Was great with communication and sent us plenty of photos. Overall amazing. Will definitely use their services again for Neo!”
“As i was leaving Borris who is 4 month old Mastiff first time, i was extremely worried. But when i picked him up at end of the day, looking at him, all happy, assured me that he was in very good hands and had a great time. I already have decided to book Colleen again for boarding.”
“Cali is always well taken care if when she goes to Michelle's....this would be her third stay. We get regular pics and updates. Cali comes back tired and you can tell she had a great time while she was there. Would definitely use her services again!”
“I had my dog, Mori, spend the day with Joseph and Jessie for daycare, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It was such a relief to entrust Mori to someone who clearly cares. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive caregiver for their pet!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we are so happy with the experience. Susan was great to communicate with, and it's clear that Willow had a great time in their care. Susan sent regular pictures that showed Willow enjoying herself. Susan and Gordon have lots of experience with dogs and took such great care of our pup!

About: I was lucky enough to have the best doodle in the world for 11 years. Losing Maggie was so hard, I'm not ready for my own dog again yet, but I would LOVE to give yours an awesome holiday. Young dogs are super fun, but also I have a real spot spot for the senior's and experience adjusting situations for them. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I walk every day and the extra walks will be very welcome addition to my daily routine. Your dog will have the run of the place with couch cuddles and the comfort of sleeping with me if they like. I have two cats, they are 4 years old and like dogs but mostly just leave them alone to do their own thing. There is a large grassy area outside of my building and many parks nearby plus the beach!
About: I have been a dog lover and advocate since I was a child. I have shared most of my life with a fur baby of my own. Most recently, between my own fur baby, a Shiba Inu who passed away last year at the age of 14, and being a foster home for 30+ dogs, I have experience with various breeds and temperaments from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers and Puppies to Seniors. My role as a Foster Mom was a very rewarding experience. I partnered with a Chihuahua dog rescue and would often have multiple foster dogs in my home at one time. While in my care, I was responsible for their overall health and well-being and preparing them for their eventual forever home. Some of the fosters had previous owners so, I would focus on refreshing them on the basics like leash manners, potty training, and basic commands. However, many of the fosters had been mistreated or lived their entire lives on the street. These fosters needed extra care and patience so I would focus on building trust and reassurance until they knew they were in a safe place. As a result, I have experience supporting dogs with mental and physical impairments such as blindness, mobility issues, anxiety, and trauma. In addition, I am comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs in post-surgical recovery. By providing lots of love and guidance, I have successfully prepared 30+ fosters for their forever home! I work from home so your dog will have lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of room for small to medium dogs to run around and play. Rest assured; I will always accompany your dog outside. If your dog likes to go for walks, I live in a residential community with lots of green spaces for us to explore. While in my care, I am confident that I can provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your dog, whether they are with me for the day or a longer period of time. I work from home everyday in a single detached house in a residential community. My work is flexible and ideally suited to caring for dogs. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of room for small to medium dogs to run around and play. My yard and home is safe and dog friendly.
“Heli & Chintankumar were very kind and accommodating! They were willing to take Pluto last minute and even agreed to have a small meet and greet the day before. I could tell Pluto was very comfortable around them as well! They provided multiple picture & video updates throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I also picked up a very tired but happy Pluto so rest assured your pups will be getting all the physical and mental stimulation they need :)”
“Thanks again Zoe for looking after Magic yesterday. Your calm sweet nature meshed well with Magic and I can see from the photos that he enjoyed your company and that of Dupao & Mochi. Such cute pictures of them hanging out together, they became fast friends! Magic is enjoying the treat bag you sent home with him.”
“Lori has been taking care of my 7 month old Cane Corso/Presa and treats her like she’s her own !!! Couldn’t say enough about how attentive and amazing she is with her. My pup waits every morning at the door so she can see Lori. Thank you for loving her like we do !!! 💜💜💜”
About: Completed introductory dog training program with PetSmart and our Labrador Peaches My wife and I are newlyweds, she has 8+ years of taking care of her family dogs, I have 5+ years of taking care of my dogs. We love dogs as much as we love each other! We both work from home full-time, and love taking breaks in our day to play with our lab! Pet care is a regular part of our lives and we love it! We have a friendly 4-year old Labrador (Peaches) to keep your furry friend company, and live near multiple parks and trails that we explore regularly!
About: My dog is a rescue. He suffers from pretty bad separation anxiety, so keeping him comfortable when he’s alone is quite tricky. Over the last 4 years with him, I’ve been managing this and have finally found some and routines and tricks that keep him calm and comfortable in our home while I’m away. I have had a dog my whole life. I understand the basics of care, and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is well taken care of, comfortable, and safe while you are away. I currently work from home 2 days out of the week and will be available to play with your pup through out the day - whether you bring them to me for a day of day care, or you need someone to go check on your dog at yours for a walk or a pee break! Additionally, I am available evenings and weekends for dog walking or babysitting. I live in a townhouse with my senior dog. He loves company. Once the excitement of “hello” passes he is very calm, and will love playing with a friend! I don’t have a backyard, so I will take the pups on frequent walks. If you need someone to drop by your place to walk or give pee breaks to your pet, I am more than willing to stay and play and follow any care instructions you provide.

Mathusan & Keishiya T.
“Mathusan and Keishiya have been caring for my Doberman, Zee, for both short and extended periods many times over the last several years. The times have ranged from a few hours to full weeks. Keishiya and Mathusan can always be counted on to ensure a safe and loving home for Zee. Their attention to detail (understanding his routines, diet, and needs), and open lines of communication give me peace of mind which I can rarely find with doggy hotels or other third-party dog care services. Keishiya and Mathusan are the most loving and nurturing people I know, who not only see Zee as a friend, but as another member of their family.”
Krystal K.
“Krystal is a very conscientious dog owner. She recently adopted a rescue dog and has ensured that had given him a comfortable life full of love. He is walked on a regular basis.”
