Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!

Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!

This was our second time having our Shiba Inu, Koko stay with Sophia. It was a great experience, we knew Koko was in good hands and she was well cared for. Highly recommend Sophia! She and her family really care for their guests and it shows. Our dog was so happy.

About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.

This is not Wendy’s first time taking good care of my Brody! Any time I go out of town and can’t bring my dog, she’s the first person I go to. He loves his stay every time! Wendy is the best! She sends picture updates throughout the day and always gives status updates. I highly recommend Wendy because her and her family treat your dog like their own, very communicative, and is genuine. Brody is very comfortable with her as well. Thank you Wendy! 💚

Like I told Evvery, this is the first time I've gone on vacation without my dog and didn't stress about his care. We received picture and video updates at least two times everyday and Shmulik looked SO HAPPY and like he was having the time of his life in each one. Shmulik can be a little difficult (he's aggressive with other dogs), but Evvery knew exactly what to do if they encountered another dog on their walks. We cannot recommend her enough!!!!!!!! Evvery will give your pups the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Thank you, Evvery!! We'll see you soon! - Ilya, Yana & Shmulik
