“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”
“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.”
“Trishelle was great! I’ve been nervous leaving KB with other people as I’ve had both good and bad experiences on Rover, but since Trishelle also has a dachshund, I thought this would be a great fit and opportunity for KB to socialize. Trishelle is very communicative, keeping me updated throughout thr day, sending pictures and videos. Her dachshund, Ollie was super excited to meet KB, which is great but KB is a bit shy in the beginning. By the time I picked him up, they were playing walking side by side and KB looked right at home! I would definitely recommend Trishelle to anyone looking for a sitter, and will look to book with her again!”
“Katie was very professional and gave me much comfort in reserving from far away. She proactively confirmed the day before when I was en route and was very welcoming to Ferris. Very quickly after I left she sent a reassuring note and video which was much appreciated as I could have my meetings know that Ferris was comfortable, well taken care of and having fun. I highly recommend Katie!”
“It was so wonderful to know Mateo was in great hands! We will definitely be keeping April in mind in the future. He came home happy and tired every day that he spent with her and her pup!”
“This was the professionalism and kindness I was looking for! These are two wonderful people who are clearly made for doggie care. Thank you so much.”
“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: Greetings, Adriane here! My first job was as vet tech assistant and I've been an animal admirer since then. I've since worked in kennels and zoos and animal care facilities for 6 years. I've had the privilege to care for 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I'm confident and comfortable working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I want to be your buddy's buddy and I have lots of affection to give. My goal is to provide love and support to ensure your fur buddy is happy and safe until you return. I am available Monday through Friday from 7:30am -7pm for walks and drop-in's and daycare. I can usually accommodate visits outside of this window with 24 hours notice. I have open available for boarding. My weekend schedule fluctuates so I can be available for clients on a case by case basis. I'll make sure to keep my calendar up to date. As far as boarding and daycare, I live in a single family home with a large fully fenced backyard. I have one crate trained dog named Ozzy and one cat named Pico, both who are pleased to meet new fur buddies. Both are up to date on all vaccinations. I will follow your routine and all provided instructions to ensure your dog stays on schedule. If none are provided, I'll make sure they're happy, hydrated and get plenty of play, potty breaks and outside time. When caring for your fur buddy in your home, I will provide pictures on arrival and departure so you can see how they're doing in real time. I can provide walks in the neighborhood or if permitted, I'm happy to chauffeur dogs big and small on their next adventure.
“Shanikki was very flexible with my last minute booking and my dog enjoyed her time! She was very responsive and sent pictures and was great with my nervous dog.”
“We are so incredibly thankful to have Bianca and Diego in our life!! Our sensitive pup absolutely loves them both and I don’t think he wants to leave when I pick him up!”
“First time with Robert as a sitter, I will definitely be back on a regular basis. He understands and loves bully breeds. My American Bully came home happy and wanting more cuddles.”
“I’m so glad I found Pete and Stephany for my high energy puppy. Pete is attentive to my puppy's need and is comfortable with his quirks. He sent photos and updates throughout the day to let me know my puppy’s progress. Pete is knowledgeable of dog training and behaviors. I feel at ease having Pete and a Steph watch my puppy.”
“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: In my free time, I would always come across lost pets and help them find their home. I have a nurturing spirit and have cared for animals since a kid, I would love to provide the stay for your dog child to be safe and comfortable away from home. This is my full-time business. I do this whenever I am not traveling. My routine matches the dogs, I make sure I follow their food regimen as prescribed by their owners. I walk my dogs daily. I always make sure they are comfortable at all times, well fed, and spend plenty of time playing outdoors. There is a lovely trail and park nearby that I take my dog guest to whenever they come to visit.
“She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. I have one dog that is anxious and the other is very playful. She knew how to handle both personalities. I’ve never trusted anyone with my fur babies with anyone before J. I will be booking with her again.”
About: I have taken care of small and medium sized dogs for 12 years now, and currently have a very strong and energetic Boxer-Boston mix that I need to walk for at least 3 miles each day. I currently have full availability to take care of you furry loved ones! Message me to find out what time works best to take care of your furry loved ones! I am happy to give your pet the love, exercise and care that they need. I will follow special instructions as needed for each pet.
“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!”
“Had a good time with James. He was responsive, quick to communicate, flexible. Paid close attention to any care instructions and Kajol got comfortable with him quickly. He takes the pups on long walks and sends tons of pics. I would definitely book again!”

Janice was absolutely wonderful with Auggie! From the moment we met her, it was clear how attentive and caring she is. She treated Auggie as if he were her own, giving him so much affection, patience, and thoughtful attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Auggie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for is always the best sign! I truly appreciate the updates and the extra care she put into every part of his stay. We will definitely be booking with Janice again. Highly recommend!
This was our first meeting with Theresa, and it was wonderful. Her garden/yard is any dogs dream, she was very patient with my concerns & questions, and we were so happy with Rudy’s visit that we are now boarding him for five nights. Her résumé is impressive, she is very experienced, and while it’s hard leaving your pet with anyone, she really helped alleviate my fears.
