“Absolutely could not recommend Corina more. She treated Tiny like a member of the family, was incredibly kind and responsive, and sent lots of photos so I knew how things were going. I felt completely at ease while traveling abroad, and I hope to work with her again.”
“They are amazing wow !! It’s like a boujee hotel for puppies, they watch movies, play at the park, he has an entire set up for the pups at the house it’s super cute, will re book!”
“Aliaksandra and her daughter Jessica were wonderful with Winston. I got photos and videos every day and several times a day. Winston learned Russian and is now an international.traveler. Will definitely book with them again.”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs. Caring for them has been a natural part of my life since I was young. What sets me apart is the calm, cozy home environment I provide—your pup will never be in a crowded kennel or overwhelmed by too many dogs. I offer personalized care, tailored to your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality. With a fully fenced yard for safe play and plenty of indoor snuggle space, your dog can relax and feel right at home. It’s like staying with a trusted friend who happens to love dogs! As a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages, I provide a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am able to give the pups plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, belly rubs during a break, or a midday walk, I’m always nearby to care for them. Their needs become part of my schedule, not an afterthought. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked here! In my home, I provide a calm, stress-free environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel truly at home—with a friendly resident dog ( a toy poodle) as a built-in playmate! It’s more like a fun sleepover, not a stay at a crowded kennel.
“A wonderfully positive experience from start to finish. Matteo is warm, friendly, and a genuine animal lover. Communication was great and he shared plenty of photos and updates. I could tell Loba grew very fond of him and had a happy stay. Would definitely book Matteo again and I highly recommend!”
“Idania is absolutely amazing!! I’m so thankful to have found her. She cared for Baci like he was her own. She also kept me updated with pictures of their time together. He looked so happy! I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Idania!!! :)”
“Very nice and friendly family! Laszlo enjoyed every day he spent with Tarik and Isabella! They have big completely fenced garden where Laszlo loved to spend time. The Feda the cutest Golden Doodel ever become a best friend of our dog. We want thank Isabella and Tarik one more time.”
“Honestly, I will be keeping this sitter! It was last minute and even the communication felt really smooth. I know my brownie had an amazing time with her dogs. One of the best parts is that he didn’t come home smelling like dog and I think that matters a lot. She also gave him some treats and a toy with permission ofc. Would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Miki! She was so easy to work with, and sent frequent updates and photos. We highly recommend Claudia, and look forward to having her watch Miki again soon!”
“Nadia took great care of our Aussie. You can tell animals love her. My dog is very shy at first but when we picked him up you could tell he adored her. I would definitely book with Nadia again. Plus her dog Chico is very sweet ❤️”
“Segunda vez que dejamos a Brutus con Tito y su mujer. Esta vez nada menos que 16 días (todas las vacaciones de Navidad). No puedo más que tener palabras de agradecimiento por haber cuidado y atendido tan bien a Brutus. Mejor imposible. Me enviaban a diario fotos y vídeos, en las que veía lo feliz y bien que estaba. Hasta he dudado de si Brutus querría volver conmigo 🤣 (es broma). Muchas gracias por todo! Repetiré siempre con ellos por la tranquilidad que me dan!! 100% Recomendables.”
“Yoredi took excellent care of Zora while we were out of country for 3 weeks. We got daily updates with pictures. Zora did great and was happy & healthy when we picked her up. Definitely recommended Yoredi, she goes out of her way to take care of the pets.”
“Mark took GREAT care of Pepper. I reached out to him last minute and he was able to accommodate me. He constantly sent messages and pictures updating of her care. I also need a little more time picking her up and he was kind enough to look out for her. He is a great sitter and was able to spend lots of quality time with her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Gracias a Jose y su Esposa, disfrutamos nuestras vacaciones sin preocupaciones, es la 1ra vez que disfruto sin tener ansiedad de donde lo estoy dejando! Mi Grogu, creo que disfrutó sus vacaciones tanto como nosotros, sus perritas tambien son un amor. Definitivamente volveremos a utilizar sus servicios!”
“Sarah, thanks so much for boarding my 14 year-old Beagle. You are the best boarder person Oliver has stayed with in his lifetime. You were so kind to him and made him comfortable, took him for his walks, fed him appropriately and cuddled with him on the couch. It appears he hardly missed me! Thanks so much.”
“Highly recommended. We had to leave our small dog for 2 weeks, and Rachel took amazing care of him. Moreover, she sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. We will definitely hire her again!”
