Dog Boarding Downtown

About: I had a dog for over 10 years and after he sadly passed away, I realized that I still had a lot of love to give! I’m currently a stay at home mom who absolutely adores pets, so my schedule is completely up to what your pet needs and what their schedule is! I live in an upstairs apartment that has lots of space for play time but also has cozy spots for nap time! The apartment has a secured front balcony that can be blocked off at request.

“This was my third time booking Arriyanna to take care of my cats. A true cat lover, she always does a wonderful job. I’m able to relax when I’m away because I know they’re in good hands. I recommend Arriyanna to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She will make sure they’re taken care of!”

“Laura was absolutely incredible. I had daily updates and my girl got all the attention she could ask for. I will absolutely use Laura again if I need to board her again.”

Sara C.

“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”

Stephanie G.

“Jamila was easy to communicate and coordinate with and always quick to respond! My dog was well looked after and I will be bringing him back again. I know he is looking forward to his next stay!”

Glen B.

“Jeimy is very sweet. We did a meet and greet before booking where I got to meet her and see the location. We got pictures and updates. Bella was well taken care of and made an easy transition to and from her booking. I would definitely recommend her and plan to book another stay in the future.”

Tammi S.

“Mollie took really good care of my two boys, she always kept me updated. I had peace of mind during my trip knowing that my boys were in good hands.”

Maria R.

“Khrystal watched my dog Poopy a few weeks ago. She was a life saver! She was very diligent with walks, and the whole schedule in general. She was also very responsive and sent me pictures the whole time. My dog can be a little anxious/high energy, and she managed that beautifully. If it weren’t for Khrystal, I would not have enjoyed my bday trip as much as I did! 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

Yatish K.

“Ximina is a wonderful pet sitter. My Poppy can count on her expertise and gentleness. I’ll be happy to rebook a trustworthy sitter like Ximina.”

Betsy W.

“I’m so glad Juno enjoyed her stay with Mario! After our meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving her with him for a few days. He’s great and knowledgeable with dog behavior and I look forward to start some training sessions soon!”

Taylor O.

“Kia was an exceptionally good communicator. He was really flexible with scheduling. I appreciate the care he gave our pups and the prep he took in reviewing their care document before their stay.”

Shar-de R.

“Tatiana did an amazing job helping my kitten with her separation anxiety. Tatiana was very patient and nurturing not just with her but myself as well. I would definitely rebook when needed. Thank you for everything and for such a safe environment.”

About: I've cared for dogs for 20 years, from puppies to seniors, including dogs who need oral, eye and ear medications, topical creams, inhalers, and health monitoring. I also have foster experience with small dogs. I host one small dog (up to 15 lb) at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. I work remotely, so your dog is home with me most of the day, with regular potty breaks and walks along the downtown waterfront. My 9 lb Pomeranian is a friendly daycare regular who loves other dogs and makes a great playmate. All guests must be current on vaccines and flea/tick prevention. Meet-and-greets are welcome, and I'll send photo updates throughout each stay. I work from home, so your dog is with me most of the day, with potty breaks about every 3 hours. My workday ends at 3 PM, so afternoons are for a long walk, play, and extra attention. Boarding guests also get a last potty break before bed and first thing in the morning. Your dog is welcome on the furniture and can sleep in my bed, with pet stairs so small pups can climb up safely. If you prefer, I can crate your dog instead. It's your call. I have an oversized, fully enclosed covered balcony with a washable turf potty station and dog beds. The door stays open, so pups can wander in and out for fresh air and a convenient backup potty spot. Inside, there are dog beds, puppy pads, and toys (oh my!), and your pup will spend the day hanging out with my Pomeranian, Poof, while I work nearby. I'm a bit of a helicopter dog mom, so my home stays dog-proofed, with cords, food, and anything unsafe kept out of reach. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I have an emergency vet nearby if anything comes up.

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”

“Andrew was a great host for Zuzita. She came back happy and tired which is always a good sign. Great communication and very easy drop off and pick up! I’ll definitely be using Andrew again!”

“Yvie took great care of our Maggie. We will be having some play dates soon. She was more than willing to send pictures and message with us. We had never left Mags with a Rover sitter. We are so thankful she was safe with Yvie.”

About: Since I was a kid I’ve always had so much love for animals . When taking care of your fur baby , i will always treat them like they’re my own .I have experience providing reliable and attentive dog walking and drop-in care, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. During drop-ins, I make sure pets receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away, while also keeping their space clean and following any specific instructions provided. Let me know exactly what your baby needs for the most fun and stress free experience! My schedule is fairly flexible because I work a part-time graveyard shift, which allows me to have plenty of availability during the daytime for pet care. I’m also a single mom to one wonderful boy, so I’m very intentional about planning my time and making sure I’m dependable and responsible with every commitment I make. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care during my open daytime hours, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works for everyone. I take being trusted with someone’s pet seriously and will always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and consistent. I’m happy to care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I live in an apartment, I’m best suited to hosting smaller pets in my home who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I’ll make sure they have a safe, clean, comfortable space, plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love. For in-home visits, I’m comfortable caring for pets in the environment they’re already familiar with. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, litter box care, basic grooming, and companionship. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Soonok was so wonderful in caring for our dog Enzo. If you’re looking for a compassionate dog sitter who gives lots of attention to your fur baby, she is the one! Enzo is usually anxious when boarding at larger facilities. We had a long trip and were worried he would be too stressed, so we found Soonok. After Enzo’s stay with her, he came home calm and relaxed. She sent us photos and videos and we could tell he was having a happy time with her. Thank you Soonok!”

“I booked a 3-night stay with Emily for my 6-month-old puppy, Nairobi, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Emily was amazing with my energetic little one and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I was able to schedule the booking less than two weeks before our trip, and she was incredibly accommodating. Throughout our time away, Emily sent daily photo updates, showing how well Nairobi was being cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
