“I had a wonderful experience with Yan taking care of Roro! She treated Roro with so much love and care, taking her out for daily walks and sending me updates with pictures and videos. Roro looked so comfortable and joyful in her home. I will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Christine and Matt were wonderful with Logan! He had a great stay and we were grateful for the regular updates and photos. Logan got along well with their 2 dogs, and was tired out when we picked him up after being away! They went above and beyond getting Logan to eat, and communicated with us well. We will absolutely use them again!”


“Polina is a nice intelligent person. I highly recommend her. I left my puppy for 9 nights and Polina kept in touch all the time about how my puppy is and what my puppy is doing. She really takes good care of my puppy, by walking him every 3 hours and feeding him as I asked her to. When I came to pick the puppy up, I found that the puppy was very happy, vitally joyful, and very active.”


“Luna loved being with Kristen. She had so much fun! Kristen was amazing and kept us to date on Luna’s day through out are trip. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Donna was very caring,helpful & communicative. She took care of my senior Yorkie and was very empathetic towards my little dog. She made her feel safe with the other dogs. She sent pictures and showed me the area where my dog would be at and sleep. I was very happy with her caring for my dog.”


“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”



“Georgianne was a wonderful sitter for my anxious lil pup! She sent photos regularly of Sadie Mae playing with her pup Penny and just lounging around. I will be using her again! :)”


“Samantha was great with my geriatric dog. She was patient with feeding, administered all meds, and gave Annika lots of cuddles and love. It's reassuring to know that I can travel and my dog will receive the level of care she requires. Thanks, Samantha!”


“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”


“Maypud was amazing and the girls loved her! She picked them up and dropped them off home. They were fed and walked before returning and were ready for a nap! I would definitely use her service again”


“They were great with our dog, "Mr. B" who is particular about who he likes. They kept regularly updated with pictures and notes about what he had been up to. Highly recommend them!”


“Bean had a great time with Irina! He wanted to stay and keep playing when we picked him up. We’ll definitely be using her in the future when we need someone to watch him.”


“Kristin was an absolute delight of a River! So unbelievably accommodating and a perfect fit for our pup! She sent daily photos and took the best care of him. We will be using Kristin for our next dog boarding needs!”


“Eden and her mom were absolutely phenomenal caregivers to our dog Mindy on our first extended trip! They welcomed her in with open arms and treated her like family with so much love and care. Eden sent lots of updates and pics which we loved and helped put us at ease knowing she was in great hands. Mindy loved having a companion (their pup Cruizey) throughout the week. Eden is extremely knowledgeable and tremendously thoughtful. I can’t say enough about how much we love and appreciate Eden and her mom, and their sweet pup Cruizey! Mindy can’t wait for her next stay!”


About: Hello, I am a college student who is going into an environmental field, I love the wildlife and any animal, ive taken care of pets my whole life from neighbors to relatives to family friends, I am a dog person but any pet is welcomed and I always try to keep them as close to home as possible I currently have a job Monday- Friday, from 8-4 but I am always open on weekends and if its not a problem with the owners willing to take care in between my Job I always try to keep the pet care as closely similar as the animals daily schedule. I try to keep the animal stress free and relaxed, I used to spend time trying to understand these amazing animals and giving them what they need

About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.
