“Kristin’s home is our dog’s home away from home. She is an experienced & caring person who treats our old girl like she’s her own. We are so grateful for her & her family🩷🐾”


“They took very good care of our dog Poppy!! Great communication and really cute photos! They are watching her again in a few weeks, would definitely recommend!!”


“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”



“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”


“Tiffani [and her family] were such a wonderful fit for my precious Madison. Madison has never stayed any place overnight (aside from home), and my sister and I were extremely nervous to leave her anywhere- when family members were not an option. We went away for 8 nights and needed to ensure Madison was in great hands and loving hearts. Tiffani and her family went above and beyond to not only care for Madison, but make her feel like family. Wow! We were amazed! Tiffani sent lots of wonderful pictures/videos throughout the week and it helped us get through the week being away from Madison. Madison is sensitive and has separation anxiety, but she was loved so much during her week with Tiffani that we could literally see her comfort level blossom each day as more and more pictures were sent. My sister and I wondered if Madison would even want to come home, after such a fun week with cuddles upon cuddles upon cuddles. ???? We we’re so thankful, grateful and satisfied with our decision. Also, we were thrilled that Madison got daily walks each day and had playtime with the kids and (her new Rover lab sister) Mia. ? (Tiff has amazing kids by the way, who are guaranteed to smother your dog in love & giggles). When we went to pick up Madison, she didn’t recognize us and barked because she became so attached to Tiffani and family (haha!- great sign), and she was exhausted from having an amazing week. Now my sister and I only feel bad that Madison had to leave a place she fell so in love with, enjoyed, and where people loved her. That’s the impression Tiffani left on us and Madison. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tiffani was very tuned in to our Madison. Oh! And, even with us being out of country the communication was wonderful and consistent- every single day. We will absolutely book with her again if we need and she’s available. We are so grateful to have found her. ????”


“Was very good with the dog! Communicated the whole time. It was the dogs first time with someone else. Great work definitely would do again and recommend !!”



“Ricky was excellent! He took care of my 85 pound Hound/ Husky. I always am a bit concerned when leaving my dog with someone but when I need to do it again, Ricky will be the first person I contact.”


“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”


“Janelle was great with our dogs! She was responsive in her communication in booking our stay, asked good questions and made sure she understood our requirements during our meet and greet, and kept us updated on how our pets were doing while we were away. We had such a good experience and booked another session immediately after our first!”


“Ji Ah and her husband were both great! I received pictures and updates every day while I was away. Duke already misses them and their lovely dogs. Thank you Ji Ah, you are amazing!”



About: I treat each dog like a close friend because that’s how most dogs treat me. I’ve never been able to adopt my own because of the difficulty of finding a rental space that would allow one. I hope to learn the skills needed to be a good dog owner before. I have plenty of room for dogs. Dogs tend to like me a lot, even ones that I’m told tend do be difficult usually take a liking to me almost immediately and I have to say that love goes both ways. I’m excited to start doggie daycare, everyone has to start somewhere. I look forward to providing great service and learning the skills I will need to becoming a dog Dad. Thanks for reading. ;D


“Nancy is phenomenal and my baby absolutely loved her. This is the first time I went away and wasn't consistently worried because I knew he was being cared for and loved the same way he would be at home.”


“Betsabeth created such a warm and welcoming environment that I was genuinely happy to leave my dog in her care. At first, I felt a bit nervous about trusting someone I didn't know well, but once I met her, my worries eased greatly. Throughout Diego’s time with her, she kindly kept me updated with photos and shared thoughtful insights about how he was doing, which truly put my mind at ease.”


“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”


“It was clear that he was well taken care! He came back so happy and I'm glad that I used Kristina to watch my dog while I was away for a few days. I recommend to any dog user who may be a little anxious about leaving their dog with kennels!”


“Amazing service. She was so sweet to my dog and she made him feel very comfortable. My dog almost didn’t wanna come home back with me. It looked like he had so much fun and she took so many photos and videos. My wife and I are definitely going to use her service again very soon.”


“Jacky was amazing in taking care of our baby Ivy. He sent pictures frequently which we really appreciate. Weather was bad on a day , so he took her out for a walk earlier to ensure she gets some time outside. He even left a toy in her bag as a return gift which was very sweet of him. Will def recommend and use him for our future bookings.”
