Zenith was pleasant right from the start. She is a good communicator. She provided daily updates while we were away of our dog. I'd definitely choose her again.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his excellent care the next time you need to board your smallest family member. Our Molly, who is in her 14th year, had just started to display some cognitive dysfunction as well as what we perceived as sadness in the loss of her best buddy, her brother from the same litter. Tony was very attentive and observant of Molly's behavior as she tried to adjust to her new surroundings. At times she did need some extra care due to her confusion or anxiety of her situation which Tony lovingly provided, all the while making sure that we were receiving videos and feedback as to her experience.

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!

Any requests I made he always did and went above and beyond! It looked like Christopher and Monty had a blast over the weekend! He sent lots of pics, updates and did some training!

Rhea is truly an exceptional sitter. This was the first time I had to board my 10-year old labradoodle, and she made both my dog and me very comfortable and happy while I was away. Rhea clearly has a talent when it comes to caring for dogs and communicating with the owner. She is loving, responsible, reliable and a great communicator. I hope that she will be able to take care of my dog again the next time I need her help. I can't imagine a better place for my dog.

Renee was absolutely amazing watching our dog Winston for two weeks while we were in Italy. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos, messages, and little check-ins, which honestly made being away from him so much easier. It genuinely felt like Winston was on his own vacation while we were gone! You could tell he was so loved, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Renee went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to a very happy dog.  If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, caring, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Renee enough. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!

We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!

What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. Very good communicator and we hope to have him as our dog sitter in the future! Highly recommend Donte!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! From the moment we connected, Bryce was warm, welcoming, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Leaving your dog with someone else is never easy, but he made the entire process stress free from start to finish. Otis stayed with him for three days, and throughout the entire stay I received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Otis was not just being watched, he was being genuinely cared for and loved. Seeing him happy, comfortable, and enjoying his walks made all the difference. His communication was exceptional. He was responsive, thoughtful, and proactive about keeping me informed. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which I truly appreciated. It is rare to find someone who combines reliability, kindness, and professionalism so effortlessly. What stood out most was his welcoming personality and the care he showed toward Otis. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs he cares for, and that level of attention and compassion shines through in everything he does. I would recommend him 100% without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Otis came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future!

Absolutely WONDERFUL! Barthalomew was very communicative before, during and after the sitting. My dog was super happy the entire time! And so was I! I got photos of her resting, playing and overall just having a lovely time. She came back super happy and healthy! And he even washed the reusable peepee pad I left with him! So kind! I also live close by so he offered to pick her up and drop her off! Such amazing service. I will only take my little pup to Barthalomew from now on! THANK YOU!!!

It was a last minute travel change and the regular boarder was not available. Zenith really showed up and showed out for my Prince and Nyla! I normally set up a meet and greet first to make sure Prince and Nyla feel safe and comfortable before overnight but this was urgent. Zenith was great with showed love and attention to both Prince and Nyla (who loves to cuddle with humans). Zenith treated Prince and Nyla like family and I am forever grateful 🙏
