“Tracy is a gem! Our dog, Sanga is a senior dog and he hasn’t ever been left for boarding before. He was relaxed and Tracy kept us updated throughout his stay. Thank you!”


“Ollie loves coming over & enjoys hanging with Mowgali. Nitasha keeps us updated throughout his stay with pics and videos. We are soo pleased with his stays and will be coming back again very soon!”


“Catherine is a great pet sitter! Sends out updates and the communication was great! Definitely recommend to anyone! She was the best and Thor loved spending time with her ☺️”


“Mariah responded to our last minute request to watch Cali so fast, and we’re so grateful! Cali gets separation anxiety, but she was surprisingly fine with Mariah at drop off. Must’ve been Mariah’s chill vibe lol. At pickup, she didn’t even mention that Cali had a big accident in her kitchen (just #1, thank goodness) until I asked!! I felt so bad, but Mariah was so sweet and understanding about it. We’re definitely going to reach out to her again when we need someone to take care of our Cali!”

“Katherine and Walter are amazing! I cannot say enough great things! Buzz runs into their house excited and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. They send pictures and videos which make my day. Their house has a great yard and his day is filled with walks, playtime with them and their cute dog, Oliver, and even hiking. They're kind, caring and super communicative. Highly recommend!”

“So grateful that I had Star as a sitter! Great communication, plenty of updates and pics. Her pup and mine got along famously, which really sealed the deal for putting Star on my roster of repeat sitters.”


“Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!”


“Highly recommend DooHyang & Frank. You can tell they are very passionate and love dogs. They took care Georgie like their own. Georgie had a blast and fun staying with them and looking forward to play with Coco again”

I’m an animal lover. I will literally pull over to help save an animal.

“Bucky had so much fun with Kat! She sent pics and videos of my baby throughout the day. She had a couple of other dogs over the same day and they all got along really well. I’m so happy we found Kat and highly recommend her.”

About: My desire is to provide a vacation home for the dogs who stay in our home - a place where they feel safe and comfortable while having fun and enjoying their stay! I took care of my dog, Coby, for 9 years before he went to doggy heaven. Ever since, I’ve been passionate about dog health and diet. Now I want to use my free time to provide a loving home for your dogs. I know dogs are family and leaving them while you’re gone can be difficult. I seek to provide dogs a space where they feel comfortable, loved, and stimulated. I’m currently on leave from work, so I would be able to provide your pup with the best care and play! I would be able to tend to any needs I observe and provide both physical and emotional care for your pups. Your pet would be in a safe and dog-friendly home where they would be free to rest and play. Our furniture downstairs is open for naps, snuggles, and rest. There are also fields of grass surrounding our townhouse as well as good areas for dog walking.

Neddie N.
“Neddie is a real DOG PERSON. I never thought I would be comfortable leaving my puppy for an entire day but after meeting Neddie and an extensive back and forth discussion concerning Bella's welfare there would be no one else more reliable and caring that I could ever fine to puppy sit my pet. Neddie made the pick up and drop off very convenient for me. Her fee was more than fair and her availability seems to be adequate. After two full days of Neddie caring for Bella I have already reserved two dates in the near future.”
