“I was definitely pleased and will continue to develop this relationship. With my first time leaving Buddy with someone other than his normal sitter Liz eased my nerves with many pictures and updates: thank you so much for taking care of my baby🐾🐾”


“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”


“Tracey and her family did a great job taking care of Gary. He seemed very happy when we picked him up! He got to play with her son and two doggies. Tracey was communicative and send update pics! She did a great job!”



“Sausage had another wonderful time with Veronica, Caleb and their fur family. I recently found out that Harper, the matriarch of Veronica’s pick of Westies, has taken a special interest in Sausage and is very protective of him. Makes me feel so reassured to know that I’m addition to Veronica and Caleb’s watchful eyes, Sausage has Harper looking after him too. 4 paws way up!!!”


“Bianca was amazing with Oreo. Her building has a garden where dogs can walk and play. She and her husband provided everything Oreo needed, allowing me to take care of my responsibilities without any concerns. I want to say a big thank you to her for the excellent care and attention. I highly recommend her services, 110%!”


“Theresa was awesome with my pup. She made me feel at ease with leaving my dog with someone for the first time. Knowledgeable, Friendly, and pleasant to the both of us. I highly recommend Theresa to care for your dogs.”



“Frosty was having separation anxiety and Vince and his mom helped Frosty to calm down. Thank you for taking such great care of him! I definitely recommend Vince as a dog-sitter and I’m already planning on rebooking him sometime this month.”


“Briyonna energy is great, she very kind and easy to socialize with. Buddy come back happy, and I will book her again. She seem very prepared and know what she is doing when buddy arrive. I'm very happy with her service definitely book her in future and recommand her.”


“Katie is amazing! This was the first time I left my puppy with anyone. She sent pictures and updates all day. Winston had a blast. He can’t wait to come back tomorrow ?”


“My Izzy is a special needs puppy and our first week couldn't have gone better! Amanda has been great! I'm totally comfortable leaving her and I love that she updates me during the day. Amanda obviously loves animals and is wonderful with them.”


“Leydi was extremely responsive and caring for our young puppy. Remy made a friend in Leydi’s puppy Rocky and the two played all day. When she came home she was tired out. We will not hesitate to use Leydi again for doggie daycare!”


About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old. My family’s first dog lived to be 21, and my second is now 12—so I have years of hands-on experience with both puppies and senior dogs. This lifelong bond with animals has taught me how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors at every stage of life. I’m especially attentive to the needs of older pets, including administering medications, supporting mobility, and providing a calm, comforting environment. What truly sets me apart is the deep empathy, patience, and respect I bring to every pet I care for because to me, they’re family. I currently work part-time and spend most of my day at home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I enjoy planning my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet companionship. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment that feels familiar and comforting. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, or playtime. I love taking dogs out for walks, and we’re lucky to have a dog park in our neighborhood, which is perfect for some extra exercise and social time (if the pet is comfortable with that).

“This adorable family took in our dog for a 12-hour day. They provided us updates throughout the day and took care of all of his needs. Their location is extremely convenient, right off of I-15. We would eagerly take our pup there again.”


“Joyce was amazing. I contacted her super last minute because I wasn’t feeling well and she came to my rescue and took good care of my puppy Houston. He came home so happy and energetic. I received videos while he was in her care and he had so much fun.”


About: I’ve cared for animals since 10yo. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, fish etc. My last cat recently passed and I’m not ready to attach to another pet just yet. But I love animals and would love to borrow yours from time to time. I’m currently retired and caring for my mom. I would love to have pets around from time to time. I have a solid routine daily schedule from breakfast to sleep. I have a fenced in backyard and a field to walk in across the street. I want to keep pets indoors at night. I prefer to keep them in my room crated or snuggling with me overnight.

About: . You can trust in my experience.. I will treat your fur babies like my own they become like part of our family here. . I work at home this is my calling for sure Pups always fit right in with my schedule and feel comfortable while being here. Any questions let me know I have a big yard .. My fence is secure so my yard is fenced my kids love dogs and We will be able to take care of your dog

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Rob was so wonderful with Pumpkin! He is goes above and beyond to make sure she is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of -patiently navigating her many quirks and particularities. He is incredibly accommodating and communicative. Definitely my go-to caregiver from now on!

Theresa was amazing with Nikki, our fourteen month old, shy, but sweet small little dog. After each visit with Theresa, Nikki seemed content and happy, she took Nikki on a walk in the park, Nikki absolutely loved it! We know that she had received excellent care, and had a lot of fun! We are so happy that we found someone who is so gifted with animals to watch Nikki when we can't take her with us.

Briyonna is so awesome. My dog Chloë is a very shy girl and so far she has slowly opened up and is more at ease and that clearly reflects how attentive and kind Briyonna is to Chloë. I look forward to Chloë continuing her journey with Briyonna for however long she will have us! Book with her you will not be disappointed and neither will your pet.
