Lyn was friggin awesome at watching Jo! She kept me updated with pictures and videos of what the two were up to, and even got him into game of thrones. I definitely recommend her to anyone. She’s super responsible and a great sitter.

Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!

Linda was so kind and sweet withy dog. She sent updates and pictures. She has a great dog-friendly couch my dog loved, and she got non-skid mats to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is elderly so can either be sleepy and peaceful or need a little extra TLC, and Linda took great care of her. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, health, and comfort. I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!

This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!

My dog Hunter loves John and has already stayed with him a few times. For this past trip when I dropped him off, he ran up to John’s apartment very excited. John always updates us and asks us questions when needed. We are so grateful to have John caring for Hunter. Thank you!

Can’t say enough great things about Jess and her family, and the care they provided for our pup! Kona spent a little over a week with Jess and we are so happy with the care she received. We were sent frequent updates, and never worried about Kona. She had a ton of fun, and was tired from all the fun she had when we picked her up. We will definitely be booking with Jess again for our travel boarding needs!

Jing was an amazing sitter for my elderly dog, Tela! She was available last minute for a few days and took such good care of her. She sent many pictures and videos updating me about Tela’s stay so that I had no concerns or worries. She also would update me after providing Tela’s medication to her. Tela was in great spirits when I went to pick her up - and she can be very picky about where she stays. I would definitely recommend Jing!!

Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

Upasna aunty is hands down the most trustworthy dog boarder we’ve ever had. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands. She gave him so much care and attention, kept us well-informed throughout, and our dog came back absolutely happy and content. If you’re looking for someone who truly treats your pet like family, look no further!

Ari and Sara are fantastic sitters, and I highly recommend them! They have watched Pipa several times and she is always so excited to go back to their house and see them. She gets along great with their dog, Bond, and always comes home happy and relaxed. Ari and Sara are incredibly responsive, flexible, and genuinely caring. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Pipa is in such good hands with them when I have to go away.
