“Thank you so much Victoria for helping us out. Not only on a whim but with our brand new puppy who were still learning about ourselves. The best thing a pet parent can have is reassurance and that’s what you gave! Victoria and her family treated our Kobe like their own. Updates and pics as requested. Thank you for saving us!!!”

About: Ive had one or more dogs since I was 10 and haven't been without one since. I have over 2 years of puppy training experience under my belt and am always happy to help! I work as a teacher so after school hours work best for me! Weekends are normally always open availability. Feel free to ask any questions! I have a big fenced yard and a friendly pup for them to run around with, i also live right next to rusch park for walks! I am also experienced in puppy training if you need any help:)
“Michael was incredible! He not only was able to provide our little family member with a wonderfully relaxing environment, but seemed to bond so well with him too! Michael’s communication with us from the beginning to end was so comforting! Leaving our little Mikey was stressful enough, but seeing pictures and messages daily was just the best. I shared them with our whole family! However, the whole experience could have been a massive catastrophe if it wasn’t for Michael’s flexibility and understanding. I had submitted the wrong drop off time on our sitar day, but he did not hesitate to take our Mikey in and bud us a farewell! He truly saved our trip! Would recommend him to anyone!”

“Was wonderful with our dog who has separation anxiety and other issues due to breeder abuse. Large yard and indoor spaces for allowing dogs to stay cool on hot summer days. Very caring and loving family. Already booked her for next vacation. 😊”

“WE LOVE TAMMY and zuko does too! We’ve finally found a sitter that we feel comfortable leaving zuko with! Thanks Tammy, Athena and Medusa! You and your fur babies are the best 😊”


“Nancy was absolutely awesome! She took excellent care of our guy with plenty of exercise. More than he is used to! He came back a little trimmer! He also had plenty of his favorite thing...relaxing next to someone on a couch! She only does obe dog at a time which is even better. She has a wealth of experience with training large dogs. I highly recommend her.”

“Derek, Leslie and family were great with our Standard Poodle, Curly!! We scheduled a 'meet and greet' prior to the boarding dates, since it was our first time utilizing Rover.com for dog care. It was comforting to meet Derek and see the environment where Curly would stay. Derek communicated frequently, which was very reassuring. We loved seeing photos of Curly interacting and sleeping with family on the sofa. Curly was a rescue and still experiences initial separation anxiety, but Derek and family made him feel at home and comforted him like a family member. We are grateful for Curly's care and attention. We highly recommend Derek and Leslie and will rebook Curly again when needed.”

“Our two pups had another wonderful stay at Galady’s! We got plenty of photo updates and it was so nice to see how our dogs felt right at home :) I would recommend Galady in a heartbeat!”

“Thanks to Byron, our pup Katie looks like she had a fantastic stay! Well taken care of in a loving space. We’ll definitely have Katie stay with him again. Thanks for the cute video & photo updates along the stay as well.”

“Alexis took great care of my Golden Retriever. She sent lots of updates and was flexible on schedule for pick up/ drop off. Will definitely use her again in the future”

“Irvine and Susan took great care of my fur baby. Great home and yard for my Yorkie. Kept me updated and flexible when we were delayed coming back. Would recommend to friends and family.”


About: I grew up with animals on a farm and have always had a dog or cat in my home. We love our pets and treat them as family. I am home most of the day so providing one on one are won’t be a problem! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home everyday of the week and can make frequent trips if needed. I offer same day cancellation but do need a couple days notice to make sure I am not out of town. My dog is walked twice a day everyday and we have a fenced backyard. We also have cats that have free time of the house and outside and are very friendly with our dog. Our dog has a bed in just about every room and is allowed to get on one of our couches (however often tries sneaking onto the other one).

Chong gave us daily updates of our little four legged child and took great care of our doggy who is a bit shy to warm up. Gus also is the goofiest but most respectful little man and is so adaptable to any dog personality. Chong definitely made our trip easy by giving us piece of mind and we will be going back to her for our future trips!
Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!

Our Chloe and Buster had an incredible time at Ariana’s house. This was their first time away from home, and we were a bit apprehensive. Since they’re rescue dogs, I didn’t want them to feel neglected or scared. Instead, they were showered with love and taken care of exceptionally well. Ariana sent us daily pictures and videos with updates, which made our visit with family much more convenient. Thank you Ariana and family! 💕🐾

Sara and her family do such a great job with my dogs! My dogs are excited to go see Sara and her children. They like to play with the kids and they love the backyard. Sara send pictures and you can see the smile on my dog’s face when I get the pictures. I would definitely use Sara anytime I need my four dogs to be watched! This last time Sara’s daughter made my Aphrodite a necklace that Aphrodite just loves to wear! ❤️💕🐾💗💓🥰🦮🐩🐕🐾🐕🦺🐶

Leaving our dog Oliver with Nadya and her family is such an amazing experience! He gets so excited to see them all and is treated like royalty with extra long walks multiple times a day, lots of updates and such kindness! He ran right up to her during drop off and knew he was going on lots of adventures. We travel for work occasionally and being able to trust Nadya to be reliable and responsible is such a blessing! Highly recommended!

Tammy was WONDERFUL. I have two babies and she took both and was an excellent carer. My little guy got scratch early on in the 7 day boarding and she immediately contacted us to provide an update. I received pictures and communication throughout the stay. I highly recommend and will book again!
