“Maria is absolutely fantastic at keeping us updated on Chewie's day. He just loves spending time at Maria's house and playing in her backyard. We are incredibly grateful for Maria's patience with our young, still potty-training puppy. She definitely puts our minds at ease knowing that she's taking care of our baby with so much love.”

“We know our dog, Lola, will always enjoy her time at JR’s. JR is so attentive and makes sure Lola is exercised, socialized, and well taken care of.”



“Rachel's is a wonderful place - a great doggy experience. It was so nice to see Rogan running in Rachel's yard since he seldom is off leash. Although we originally booked at Rachel's because our regular sitter was on vacation, we are planning to send Rogan to Rachel's a few days a month so he can run around and be a dog in a safe and loving environment.”


“Julia took wonderful care of Alfie and he came back calm and happy. We really appreciated her responsiveness and attention to Alfie’s needs. We will happily come back again!”


“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”


“We had our first doggy daycare with Nina today and she was awesome! She accepted our Rover request within minutes, was super communicative and flexible with our schedule, and provided updates and pics of our pup throughout the day! O’Malley had a blast running amuck in her big backyard and playing with her dogs, and came home happy and tired :) Will definitely be rebooking with Nina again soon!”


“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”


“Guojin is extremely responsive and accommodating. Phoebe had a great time for daycare. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day.”


“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”


About: My friends and family trusted me to take care of their dogs when they are out of town or on daily basics. We enjoy that time together playing and learning from each other. I’m currently as a stay at home mom, so my days are available for taking care and play with my furry friends as much as they can. I have a baby/ dog proof home, a lot of space to play with them and a lovely neighborhood with green areas to take long walks.

“Benjamin took great care of my dog! He was very responsive and will definitely use Benjamin for future stays.”


“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”

“Jessica came to the rescue when I needed help with doggie daycare for Sake for the day. It was great to see that Sake got along with her new sitter and met new friends. It is great to know that Sake was safe and well-cared for during the day. She went on a nice walk, had a play date with her bestie pup friend mid-day and enjoyed relaxing watching her kid friends play together. She is passed out on the couch now, so that is a dog tale sign she had a fun day with Jessica. The photos of Sake were really cute too!”

One of our pups has separation anxiety and Lynda too extra care to make sure he was comfortable. She also agreed to watch the pups on very short notice. We are very grateful for her flexibility and quality of care. we highly recommend her.”

He has painful anxiety separation and Traci went out of her way to help him feel safe as he mconnected with her.”
