“I will start by saying that I was nervous to leave Harley here as he is a little sensitive guy and not used to children. Jia has two adorable kids full of energy. But then I saw how absolutely gentle they were with Harley and Jia herself is an absolute delight! She really communicates and connects well with my Harley and now he looks forward to seeing Jia and the kids. She is very flexible, gives updates often, ensures he eats and gets a good walk in while also spending plenty of snuggle time with him. Jia's is becoming Harley's second home.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Carmen! I had a last-minute situation and needed a reliable sitter for my dog — and Carmen came through like an absolute angel. She welcomed my pup with such warmth and kindness, instantly putting both of us at ease. Throughout the day, she took amazing care of her, gave her plenty of walks, and treated her like one of her own. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. Carmen is truly a gem — dependable, caring, and so sweet. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Erika was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Tula and Buzz! This was our booking using Rover, and she made the experience stress free and wonderful. It was a same day last minute request for the unplanned part of the trip! She was responsive and quick to provide guidance and support. Erika took excellent care of our doggies, sending me pictures throughout the day and keeping me updated. Her kindness and genuine care for Tula and Buzz were evident, and they came home happy and well cared for. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Erika again. Highly recommend!”
“Finn loved his day with Dan and his dogs! Dan was so great and provided tons of updates. It really showed how happy Finn was playing with the others. He can be shy and skittish so it takes him some time to warm up to play, but he seemed to feel comfortable really early on in the day. I also agree with previous reviews that you can tell Dan is so well-versed in doggy communication. I got my pup back safe, happy and totally tuckered out, which is all I can really want in a daycare. 100% would totally recommend (especially if you have a large anxious pup like mine who needs a minimum of 4 potty breaks and a 1.5-2 hour play/ball time each day to chill out and sleep well at night).”
“Jessica and Chase were amazing sitters for my fur baby. They were communicative throughout the day sending updates, pictures, and videos. It is clear how much they enjoy being around pups. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, fun and attentive sitter. My dog had the best day with them! Thanks again, Jessica and Chase!”
“Chewy my little maltese loves her chihuahua when she stay over there. Lydia is very attentive with her like feeding and walks her schedule. I feel comfortable that Chewy is in good hands and that makes me feel good when I have to leave her there.”
“Ellie seemed to bond with Wendi immediately and Wendi seemed to be kind and attentive. I believe Ellie had a positive experience and we would definitely use Wendi again. Terry Flood”
“Vi is a wonderful attentive caregiver for doggies. Lovely household setting makes you feel at ease. Very patient with our high anxiety German Shepherd. Vi was even able to point out an issue with our dogs paw we had not yet noticed.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life - from puppies to seniors and love spending time with fur babies.

From the very first walk, I could tell she had a special way with animals—my dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. What sets Sabrina apart is her attention to detail and the extra effort she puts into every walk. She ensures my dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and even some training reinforcement along the way. I also appreciate the thoughtful updates and photos she sends, which give me peace of mind knowing my pup is in great hands.

Andrea is incredible! We are so grateful to have found her and her sweet pup. Thank you for taking care of my fur baby, sending me updates and pictures, and treating her like your own. Poppy is now snoring very loudly after her stay which can only mean she had a blast 😂. Thanks again!

Jessica was amazing with our pup! Several walks, lots of pictures and updates, and most of all he was so happy! You can tell her warm personality makes the pup feel right at home. Our pup came home happy and tired which was the mark of a great day for him (and us)! We can’t wait to book Jessica again!
Vi was wonderful! She was kind enough to take us as a last minute booking for our 10 year old Kai Ken while we were on vacation and our original sitter had to cancel. We booked for a daycare sitting while we went to dinner for a couple of hours down the street. Even though it was a very short stay, she took our girl on a nice walk while we were gone and even kept us updated on how she was doing. Our girl ended up having an upset stomach during her stay (probably due to travel stress) and Vi handled it with such grace! This was the first time we’ve EVER left our girl with a stranger in 10 years and Vi made it such an stress-free experience for us. Thank you Vi!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Lisa! From the very beginning, she was warm, compassionate, and incredibly communicative—exactly the kind of person you want caring for your dogs. She took the time to truly understand both of my pups, their routines, quirks, and personalities, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while I was at work. Lisa went above and beyond, showing a level of care and flexibility that gave me total peace of mind. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which meant so much. It was clear my dogs absolutely adored her. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dogs like her own, look no further—Lisa is an absolute gem. We’re so grateful to have found her!
Dristi was amazing! She was willing to meet us the day before for a meet and greet and make sure our dog was comfortable with her. She had our girl for a long day and took incredible care of her! She even took her on some fun outings. We would highly recommend Dristi to anyone needing their pet cared for!
I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.
Kyra was FANTASTIC! We are so happy that we found her. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day and my dog absolutely loved staying with her. I felt very comfortable the entire time that my dog was in her care. She truly cares about dogs and took special care of my fur baby. Thank you SO much, Kyra!
Emily is absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t recommend enough!! Velzy loved her doggie day care and came home totally exhausted every day. Emily sent tons of pictures which I loved. Made me feel so comfortable and I wasn’t worried at all leaving velzy in her care. Will absolutely book with her again!
Haley is THE best sitter ever!! She takes such good care of my pup, she’s super communicative and sends updates of how the day is going which I love getting while I’m at work. My dog lovesss her and it’s so relieving knowing he’s in such good hands. We love Haley!!! :)
