2. Matt T.
“Matt is kind and patient with my Italian greyhound. He sent several text updates with photos. He took the dogs on walks and played outside in his big yard - she was happily worn out at the end of the day. My pup loved him! I will definitely book with him again and recommend him to friends.”
3. Priscilla G.
“Priscilla is great! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and was really flexible with pickup and drop off times. My dog fell asleep in the car within 5 minutes on the drive home so they got lots of energy out.”
4. Alexa B.
“Great sitter for my puppy. She has a friendly puppy herself allowing the opportunity for my dog to socialize. She provided pictures throughout the day and gave me updates. Would highly recommend! She did not ask me to leave a review, I’m doing this on my own behalf.”
5. Rose C.
“Rose and her aide de camp were great with my activ puppy. She was accommodating to my earlier drop off time at 6:30. Sòley had a great time and came back tired and happy.”
6. Puneet B.
“Puneet's kind and caring nature extends not only to her friends and family, but also to the pets that she cares for and watches. She has been a wonderful guinea-pig mom over the past 4 years, and has been an excellent dog sitter to different breeds. When dog sitting, she makes sure the pets have enough food and water, along with multiple walks and many belly rubs.”
7. Kate K.
“Kate is super friendly. She helped me out with short notice, I really needed a sitter today. She picked up and drop off my dog on time. She kept me updated with the status of my dog. I'll definitely repeat.”
8. Francine M.
“Fran is so caring and loving to all pets! She took care of my dog Herbie multiple times, and there's no one I trust more with my dog. She is kind and trustworthy and overall a really great person. I highly recommend her for pet care!”
9. Heather B.
“Heather is the best!! We didn’t like the idea of bigger daycare environments, so we wanted a private dog sitter with fewer dogs & it’s been the best decision we’ve made! Our Little Sebastian loves going over to Heather’s. He goes in excited and comes home happy, healthy, and so tired from all the play. 100% would recommend Heather to anyone. : )”
10. Paul G.
“Paul accepted my last minute booking request. I had to adjust my drop off/pick up times & he was flexible with that. My dog Eddie can have a bit of anxiety when he isn't with his family. When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”
11. Danielle L.
“I was apprehensive about leaving my Birdie in a strange house with a new person for daycare...but Danielle is easy to talk to, great with the dogs, and very trustworthy! On top of that, she has a very nice place for the pups to play, nap and walk. A great experience all around🤩👍🏻‼️”

About: Hi, I’m Jeannine, and I’m passionate about providing dogs with the care and love they deserve while their owners are away. With over 20 years of experience as a German Shepherd owner (currently I have three!) I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I’m excited to offer dog boarding and day care in a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet rest, I tailor my care to your pup’s individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be treated like family while they stay with me! I offer a range of dog boarding services designed to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable experience for your furry family member while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect: • Comfortable Home Environment: Your dog will stay in a warm, welcoming home with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. • Personalized Care: I tailor my care to meet your dog’s individual needs, including specific routines, dietary requirements, and preferences. • Daily Exercise and Playtime: Whether it’s a game of fetch, some backyard fun, or group playtime, your dog will get plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. • Cuddles and Companionship: Your dog will never feel lonely—I provide plenty of love, attention, and snuggles to make them feel right at home. • Safe and Secure Environment: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, especially my three German Shepherds, I ensure a safe, structured setting for your pup. • Regular Updates: I’ll keep you in the loop with pictures and updates, so you can see how much fun your dog is having while staying with me. • Medication Administration: If your dog requires medication, I have the experience to handle it with care and precision. I’m committed to making your dog’s stay as enjoyable as possible, giving you peace of mind while you’re away! Caring for pets isn’t just a hobby—it’s what I do full-time. This means I’m home with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get the attention, supervision, and care they need. Your pup will never feel alone, and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands! I will follow your instructions to a T. I know how nerve wracking it can be to trust your animals to someone that isn’t you! For example, my dogs and cats all eat a specialized diet and my cats stay strictly indoors. They have unique needs that I would pay close attention to, and fulfill, all while keeping them safe and as loved as they will allow! :)

“Denali had such a wonderful time with Rosemary! I'm so happy she had other dogs with him to play with. He loved it there and is completely tuckered out this evening :)”
15. Cheryl M.
“Nahla and I had our great very first experience with pet sitting all because of Cheryl. She is welcoming and provided updates with photos throughout the day. Cheryl is locked in as my go to for a much needed play day for Nahla or those days that care is needed. Thank you for the experience.”
16. Romy S.
“Romy did such a great job with Bosco, and was able to help out providing day care at the last minute.”
17. Luis S.
“Luis is an EMT and avid hiker with a gift for connecting with and respecting animals. He’s safety conscious and pays attention to details but keeps things light and gentle—puts pets as ease. Highly recommend!”
18. Marina R.
About: I have a diverse experience with pets of all ages and needs. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m particularly attentive to their unique care requirements. I'm experienced in providing extra patience and attention to senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I treat every pet like family, tailoring my care to their individual needs, and always making sure they feel loved and safe. Both my partner and I love dogs and work from home, which gives me the flexibility to set my own schedule. I don't have a fixed routine, but we can discuss and find what works best for both of us. I have a fenced yard with two dogs and a house cat. There's a gate between the front and back yards, so we can separate them if necessary. I believe in treating all animals with love and patience, and I will always treat them with respect and kindness, providing a safe space for them.
19. Bradley P.
“Bradley is one of the most caring and genuine dog owners that I know and would make a great pet caregiver. He is very attentive to the needs of his own dog and therefore I have no doubt that he would be for another pet as well. They are always taking their own dog Lily on long walks and adventures. To say that their dog is one of the family is a true understatement. Bradley has taken care of our dog for a week and she was very well taken care of and loved while we were away. Pictures were sent multiple times a day. You will absolutely love Bradley and his family!”
20. Liviah C.
About: My family always had animals growing up, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, goats. You name it. I got involved volunteering at the local animal shelter walking dogs and occasionally boarding them. Since then I’ve expanded to working with a rescue fostering dogs from time to time. I find great joy and fulfillment in helping out in that way and seeing dogs thrive and find their forever families. I’m experienced with all ages of dogs. I am currently a stay at home mom to my kids, ages 7, 4 and 3. I homeschool my oldest and we are home most of the day, if we do leave for an outing it’s no more than a few hours. Caring for pets in our home, with our fosters we have a good system of slow introduction with our current dogs (male, 4yrs, female, 2yrs) who are very dog friendly and use to random dogs being at our house haha. Once we know everyone will get along we let them meet in the backyard, with leash attached. If they are staying over night, they will sleep in a wire crate (we have a large double crate) they will eat their meals in their crate as well, to avoid any food aggression. The kids can be loud and busy, so we would need to assure the dog won’t be triggered or lash out at that type of behavior. We haven’t had an issue with this so far.
