“Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.”

“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.

“Our dog loved having a staycation with Mariola and the handful of other small doggy friends in her house. It's clear that Mariola is a caring, knowledgeable sitter and provides the highest quality of care to each animal -- our pup seemed happy to stay forever, even when the sit was done. We are glad to have found her and are just as excited as our dog to book again in the future.”

Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”

They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

Anchisa and Michael are wonderful! They were able to take Noche for an overnight when we had a family emergency, even though they already had a pup with them. They were so thoughtful about how to have the pups meet and get acclimated, and really were lifesavers in our time of need!

Shruti and Robyn cared for Dakota while we were away for a 12 day trip. It is very reassuring to leave Dakota with Shruti and Robyn - they care for her as if she is their own. Dakota had developed a limp before we left and they paid close attention to that while making sure she got her walks in. They communicated well with me. We already have another stay booked with Shruti and Robyn.

I am super happy with my experience with Nikolai and Jessica. They were available last minute when my other sitter cancelled on me. I was at first apprehensive with leaving Willow someplace with multiple other dogs being cared for since the last experience left Willow traumatized and was negative. This was the total opposite! It’s clear that they both care for all the dogs in their care and give them all the attention and love needed. I never had to ask for updates, they were proactive with photos/videos. It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about my dog. Willow came back happy and well cared for. It’s nice to finally have a reliable sitter in my area. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.

Rosie had an incredible week with Luka and we can't recommend him highly enough! Luka clearly loves and understands dogs, and Rosie connected with him from the first moment of our meet-and-greet. Rosie was in heaven with so much outdoor time, great exercise, and undivided human attention. We loved the photos and daily communication about how their time was going. We're so glad we found Luka as our new go-to dogsitter!

Ben, Pria, and their kids are such wonderful dog sitters. By far the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we drop our dog off, to when we pick him up we know he’s in excellent care. Sometimes I feel they spoil our dog more than we do. Ben and Pria were also very flexible and understanding when my trip plans changed, and I had to pick up our dog early. I could not recommend them enough. If you want a loving family, who will take great care of your dog and leave you without worry, Ben, Pria, and their family should be your choice.

I was in need for a sitter for my sweet Kiko for a week while I got hitched in Hawaii. Danielle and Joel took such great care of Kiko, she practically cried a bit when we took her home as if she didn’t want to leave. She got along with their dogs well and enjoyed their home and backyard. They also made the time to share photos with us everyday. I am happy we found Danielle and Joel. We will definitely use them again in the future!
