“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Grace! I left my cat Aria with her for 5 weeks, and she took absolutely wonderful care of her. Aria usually gets stressed in unfamiliar places like the vet or groomer, so I was especially nervous about how she would react to other cats and a new environment. Grace handled everything perfectly. She started Aria off in her own room so she could feel safe, and then slowly introduced her to the rest of the house and to Grace’s cat. Within just a few days, Aria was roaming around comfortably and even socializing! Grace sent me frequent updates and photos, and I was amazed at how relaxed and happy Aria looked. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t stuck in a cage (like the “cat resort” I thought was our only option before I found Grace), but instead had the freedom to explore, play, and feel at home. I’m beyond grateful to have found Grace. She’s thoughtful, patient, and truly understands cats. I’ll definitely be using her for all future boarding needs—we won’t go anywhere else! Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“Omar and their partner literally changed my dog’s life. Not only did they provide excellent care, cuddles, and frequent updates, they managed to socialize my previously dog aggressive 13 year old pup. Santa was able to be off leash with other dogs for the first time in his entire life. So incredibly grateful!”
“Iliana is the best! She took great care of my dog. She kept me updated and treated Storm like her own. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Iliana!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“Sayarlin was soo accommodating while watching my dog Dream! Even when I had to extend the pick up dates she was still willing to help out as best as she could. She even took Dream to the park to play which i'm sure she enjoyed. I will definitely use her to watch Dream in the future.”
“Noelle was amazing with Babka! He has such a wonderful time and was so happy. We felt comfortable with Noelle and confident that Babka was in great hands. It was so great that Babka had a backyard to run around in and get so much love from Noelle. This was our first time using a sitter since Babka is only 8 months old and we would trust him with Noelle 100%!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 7 years. I have references if anyone needs extra validation to know you are in good hands. I currently have open availability. I am available to do at home care or in home boarding also. I can work with anyone scheduled needs. I have a fenced back yard, I also have 4 cats for some extra playtime with cats and a dog for more companionship if needed.
“It was the first time I left my dogs with someone who isnt a family memeber and She was truly amazing reached out and send pictures of the dogs daily. My dogs will be back. I highly recommend llona”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“I had booked last minute for an overnight boarding and Juan was very accommodating! My dog has separation anxiety but Juan was able to get him comfortable and settled in. Appreciate how communicative Juan was and great care he took of my dog! 10/10 recommend Juan!”
“Valentina was amazing!!!! I didnt have to worry about my baby. She sent pictures all the time and kept me updated. Nala definitely enjoyed her time with her and her son. Will definitely use her again.”
“Dan was absolutely amazing with our dog Karley. From the moment we left, she kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Dan made it effortless. Her communication was top-notch, and it was clear Karley was not only well cared for, but genuinely comfortable and happy. We had zero worries the entire time, and that says everything. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Grace & Luis were awesome hosts for our spirited youngster, who can be a bit of a handful. They were flexible and met us ahead of time to make sure the fit was good. We will absolutely be using them again!”
“Daisy has taken great care of my dog, Leo. Leo has been an anxious dog, but Daisy has been incredibly patient with him, willing to accommodate to all Leo’s special needs. While we were away, Daisy sent us daily pictures and videos of Leo as well as giving us detailed description about how he did each day. Daisy will be our go-to person whenever Leo needs temporary accommodation in the future :)”

Christina was the best. Since my regular dog sitter moved out of town, it was difficult to find another sitter that could compare. She surpassed my expectations. She sent me updates every day so that I could see how happy Roxie was during her stay. I learned that Roxie loves to play with toys - LOL!!! She will be my regular sitter moving forward and I will recommend her to anybody who is looking for a responsible and kind sitter.
Anny is an absolute gem. She watched our Maltese, Lila, and she is extremely loving and caring. She doesn’t even have her own animals, yet her home is set up like a five-star resort for any pet who walks through her door. Gorgeous beds, little houses, toys everywhere, treats ready to go. If a dog or cat could design their dream home, it would look exactly like Anny’s. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, but Anny is in a different league entirely. Lila actually hesitated to come home, which tells you everything you need to know. If you want your pet loved, spoiled, and treated like family, Anny is the one.
Sally-Ann was an amazing caretaker for our dog Wallace. She was able to accommodate him on short notice and tend to a specific medical need that he had. She was extremely responsive and gave text and photo updates constantly. You can tell she really cares about the animals and goes out of her way to make sure they have a good time - she took our little guy to a beautiful park by the water.
Veronica and her family spoiled my toy poodle fur baby Rosie. My family and I went away for 6 days and got stuck in Mexico for an extra day due to a flight delay. I messaged her to inform her and ask if she could keep my fur baby an extra day and she responded happily that she would. They treated Rosie like their own fur baby and catered to all her needs. I will only trust Godmom Veronica with Rosie and am so extremely blessed to have found her. She sent me videos and pictures daily and her family loved on her so much I worried she had forgotten me, because she looked so incredibly happy. It put my mind at ease and although I missed her I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m so thankful to God to have found the wonderful family that loves my baby Rosie.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dog Sitter! Nicole went above and beyond taking care of my dog! From the very start, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. I received daily updates and the most beautiful pictures that truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pup was not only well taken care of, but also genuinely happy and comfortable. Nicole even gave my dog a bath before I returned — such a thoughtful extra touch! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!
Amanda was simply incredible. Zoey can be distrustful of others and a bit timid in other peoples home but with Amanda she was calm, comfortable and well taken care off. Amanda sang beautiful songs while she slept and gave her great cuddles. Zoey now has another member in her pack.
