“Our dog loves staying with Jieun! She is very professional and communicates in a timely manner both before and during visits, but most of all we know our dog is in great hands.”



“Howard and his family were excellent with my boy, Macho. Macho is very picky with his humans and does not warm up quickly but they were able to happily take him out three times a day and get him to play with his toy squirrels. Macho came back so happy and playful”


“Henry has stayed with Brianna two or three times now, and I'll continue to rebook with her! When we dropped him off for this stay, he recognized where he was and was very excited to be there.”


“Stephanie did a great job caring for our Hugo! He came back to us happy and healthy :) We especially appreciated how quick Stephanie was to respond and send updates. Would 100% book with her again!”


“Malik has done such a wonderful job taking care of our dog on three different occasions! Our pup looks so happy to see him and comes home clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”



“Katherine was our first dog sitter for our pup, and made our first time being away from him feel very safe and taken care of. She gave him so many play dates, exercise, and pampering during our trip that we’re sure he felt he was on vacation too. We would definitely recommend.”



“My little dog Belinda absolutely loved staying with Mikayla and Justin! As a rescue dog, she needs time to warm up to people. Mikayla and Justin must have been the very best hosts, because the pictures and videos they took of her show a dog as relaxed and happy as she is at home. They really were so wonderful with her! Communication with them was easy, I received a daily update, and they were so lovely. Cannot recommend them more highly, especially if you have a timid pet.”


“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We booked Mariana same day and were nervous due to it being our puppies first time with someone new. She far exceeded what we expected. She gave us updates on the hour, photos, videos and even cooked chicken for our very picky puppy. She made our dog feel a part of her family!”


“Noemi and David were absolute amazing hosts. They were able to accommodate me last minute and were very communicative during Teddys stay. They have a a sweet, friendly family who truly love the pets that stay here. I recommend these hosts. 10/10”


“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”


“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”


“Julissa was wonderful with Thor and very accommodating to our last minute changing schedule due to flight delays. She provided updates and photos of our pup which eased our seperation. Thank you, Julissa!”


“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”


“Justin was amazing! He was able to come and do a meet-n-greet, pick Harley up, communicate and drop her off as planned. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very happy and I'd be excited to have her stay with Justin again in the future.”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“My dog stayed with Monique for several days in a row. She was great to communicate with. She sent several pictures and videos which my kids loved to see while we were away.”


“We needed Jasie because our usual person was not available. Jasie lives across the street from us and we didn’t even know that until Rover! We went away Friday night to Sunday night. Jasie was great, she sent pictures, texted any questions and cared for Cadie like we would. We are so happy we found her! Will use again!”
