“We had a fantastic experience with Nancy for doggie daycare! She was incredibly responsive and friendly throughout the entire process. Our dog, Cash, came home happy and totally exhausted from all the fun he had—which is exactly what we were hoping for! We were hosting an event at our home, and Nancy went above and beyond by offering pick-up and drop-off, which made things so much easier for us. We’re so grateful for her care and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“It was my first time using Rover, and I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend with Liz, and I must say that my experience was absolutely outstanding! Liz's exceptional care, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs left me feeling confident and at ease throughout my time away. It was evident that Liz's own pups were well-trained and had a positive influence on my dog's behavior as well. Throughout my absence, Liz kept me informed with regular updates, including pictures and videos of my dog enjoying their time with her and her other pup’s. Thank you! Misty had a great time!”
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
“Love the updates throughout the day and especially the pictures of our pups having so much fun! We have peace of mind our dogs are safe while we’re at work all day. Thank you!”
“Antonio was extremely flexible with my schedule and willing to make things work! I am so grateful because I get off work really late but he was willing to wake up for pick up. Seriously the best dog sitter!”
“Mark was so great with Daisy! Great communication and timely with pickup and drop off.”
“Lola had a wonderful week of doggy daycare with Heidi and her dog Charlie! Heidi sent plenty of updates and photos, was flexible with my schedule, and helped this anxious dog parent breathe easy while working. Thanks, Heidi, and I look forward to booking again! :D Highly recommend.”
“I’m so happy I found him! He works from home so he spent a ton of time with my baby. I work variable shifts at the hospital so he was really flexible about boarding him over night and the pickup/drop off times to accommodate my graveyard. He FaceTimed me so I could say goodnight to my baby and sent me lots of pics of their adventure. HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“jan did an amazing job watching our puppy for a whole day. he went above and beyond to care for him, even giving him a bath. my puppy came home super sleepy too so i know he was played with. i will continue to use him for my puppy’s regular day care. he’s really great!”
“Great care for my Weim, with 2 walks and had access to play inside and out on deck. Her dog Nico was very friendly and I’d love to use this sitter every time!”
“Our dog Kobe loved his stay with Stormy, he had a blast playing with her pups and he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. I’d definitely take Kobe back here again :)”
“Thank you Vanessa! Archie was in great hands and Vanessa was very communicative throughout coordinating beforehand and on the day when she watched him. ??”
“Gabby is a gem! She is highly available, responsive, and flexible, and she clearly loves and enjoys dogs. When our pup, Lua, stays with her, we receive plenty of updates/photos/videos about her day and her general status. Gabby provides more than basic care—she provides an affectionate and stimulating environment. When we were looking for a care provider, we were challenged by our dog’s history of aggression toward other dogs. Gabby was willing to take time to hear about the particulars of our dog’s past behavior, and hosted a“meet and greet” tailored to our particular needs. She was very attentive to Lua’s behavior as she got to know her, and she skillfully and intuitively facilitated Lua’s success in transitioning into a new environment with other dogs. It’s not lost on us how lucky we were to find Gabby—many people (quite understandably) would not be willing to so thoughtfully and compassionately invest in a dog with a history of aggression. Now, Lua is ecstatic every time we drop her off at Gabby’s, and we rest easy knowing that she has a safe and supportive care environment.”
“We are so lucky we found Micaiah and I cannot recommend her more highly! We just moved to the area and needed to find a solution for our dog, Matilda, during the day while we are at work full time. We’ve always done a mix of mid-afternoon walkers for potty breaks and the occasional commercial doggie daycare (but it gets expensive fast so we have to limit it). Micaiah’s in-home daycare is is just the perfect solution for excellent care and great value! Our girl gets lots of playtime (including getting to go the park daily), plenty of potty breaks (our new house doesn’t have a yard) and loving company throughout the day. We know she is safe and feeling loved. Micaiah is super responsive, friendly, and flexible. I am the kind of person who likes a lot of updates and she’s answered all my questions in a timely manner and helped me to feel right at ease. We get the cutest pictures as her regular updates and we know our girl is in good hands. Micaiah clearly had lots of experience with dogs and is able to welcome new dogs into the pack with her expertise. Our girl was clearly feeling right at home her first day with Micaiah. With her, it’s totally worth the extra $$ compared to having a walker only come once for a potty break. Drop off is right along my husband’s commute and she has always been able to accommodate changed in our schedules to adjust pick up and drop off. Overall, great environment, great care, and great value. We couldn’t be happier for our girl!!”
About: I’ve always had both dogs and cats throughout life. With two dogs and a cat of my own, I am well trained in taking care of pets needs. I have experience with puppies and dogs with special medical needs. I also have experience with special needs diets and administering medication. I am working full-time from home. I go into the office for a bit on Tuesdays, but live near the office so I am able to come home and take dogs out on my lunch break. I have two dogs that I take to our dog park about every 3-4 hours and have a safe balcony for dogs to enjoy sunbathing while I’m working. I have a dog park that we go to several times a day. I have two dogs both Havanese/Maltese mix who are used to other dogs in our home and a Maine Coon cat that gets along well with other dogs. Pets are welcome on all the furniture and the bed so it’s appreciated if they get a bath prior to boarding. I’m happy to kennel your dog if that is what you prefer as well.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats with special needs since I was in college. I also have extensive personal experience with caring for senior pets. I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pups. I'm available for visits 7 days a week and boarding Thursdays through Monday. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior doxie who loves to go on walks and play in the yard. I am meticulous when it comes to caring for pets. Their safety and happiness are my top concerns.
“Whitney was great! Ghost is home sleeping like a baby. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with Whitney, and we have a person we trust to take Ghost to when we need it. I appreciate the updates and communication.”
“Great sitter! Timber had a blast!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. Back home, I have a golden doodle (Ellie) and a golden retriever (Frankie), and the cutest black cat (Wonton). I am a very active individual, and I love an excuse to get outside and go for a walk. I look forward to meeting you and your friends! I am currently teaching yoga and looking for ways to fund the next chapter of my career. I am widely available and have flexibility in hours/holidays and transportation. I have a massive fenced yard and no children at the home. There is plenty of space for your pet to run around and get some sunlight. I also have 2 roommates at home who are always excited to have new friends to hang out with!
“Lindsay is great! I’ve had my pup less than 2 weeks, still learning her quirks, haven’t left her alone yet, and I had tickets to a show….. Lindsay accepted my request super last minute and I am so eternally grateful. Lindsay sent me an update, a couple hours after I dropped Libelle off, and once I got Libelle home, she passed out (yay!). Highly recommend Lindsay and will definitely book with her again.”
