Zwany and Leandro are a first class team, focused on safety and communication. Our Havanese, Celia, enjoyed her visit so much she wanted to extend her stay to spend more time with her new friends. I highly recommend their services - they made us both feel very welcome and cared for.

Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!

Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!

Linda was super nice with Aloe. She kept us up to date with how she was doing. We know Aloe sometimes can be too much, but we were impressed how Linda was able to become her friend in such a short time. Aloe was in great hands I would strongly recommend Linda and will don't think twice in asking her again to take care of our little one. 10/10

Svetlana was able to take Ghost very last minute and was amazing. We are in the middle of moving and apparently Ghost has been more emotionally affected than we realized and was very nervous/anxiouswhen I left him with her. He always has some level of separation anxiety but was really acting out this time. She was very understanding in handling it and kept me fully informed throughout his stay and his behavior. I am thankful to her for looking after him and being so caring in his time of need.

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!!

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.

For two weeks Grace and her boyfriend Dario took wonderful care of my dog! They provided daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. She gets sad and anxious when we are separated and they showed her love and patience. They helped administer medication when she got scared during a thunderstorm. I would 1000% recommend to take care of your pet!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Being on a 24-hour shift at the firehouse can be stressful, but Karina put my mind completely at ease. She was an excellent communicator, sent great photo updates, and checked in regularly. I was especially impressed that she successfully fed my picky eater. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.

It was Mochi's first time with Mengzhen. There was another dog staying with her at the same time. We were weary of the breed but Mengzhen eased our concerns and kept them apart. She also kept us updated with several pictures and videos, which is always greatly appreciated. She and Alex were great Would highly recommend.
