“Linda was great to work with! My dog absolutely loved being with her - after the second day he'd go willingly wait in his kennel for the morning pick-ups while I was getting ready for work. Linda was so communicative throughout the day, flexible when my schedule changed, and also very communicative in scheduling the day care. I would hands down use her again! Oh - I also loved receiving the daily cards and updates at the end of each session.”
“Raquel was such a wonderful sitter for my young puppy! Super responsive, available on very short notice, and made sure he had lots of fun and love during his stay. He had a wonderful time. I’m so grateful! 😍”
“My doggy loved staying with Dakshayani and her pup! My boy got plenty of walks and spent a wonderful time at the apartment dog park where he played with other friends. My pup loves to spend time in all the comfy places, so he really loved being able to cuddle on the couch here. Thanks for the great care and pics :)”
About: I’ve had dogs around me over half of my life. I adopted two playful pups this last year and they are amazing with all other dogs. I have a big friendly dog yard and a constant cycle of toys. Great for playful to passive doggos. I work full time from home, and I don’t travel. I frequent dog parks and go hiking a lot. Depending on your pups needs, they can come with or stay home for an hour. I’m flexible. I have a dog crate if needed, several rooms, and open floor plan in house. The yard is fenced and dog-proofed. Waste is removed daily and yard is always clean and mow frequently.
“Ophelie is wonderful. She has done day care as well as boarding of our pup. Skipper is always so excited to visit Ophelie and family, including their dog Ravi. Skipper is much smaller than Ravi but they run and run and play in the backyard, and rest on the couch, and Skipper sits in Ophelie's lap and gives her kisses. Ophelie sends us the best photos. We look forward to Ophelie caring for Skipper in the future!!!!!”
“Stephan (and Bella) had Coyote playing in no time, and napping for much of the evening. He was clearly comfortable and I appreciated the several photo updates Stephan sent! I'd easily use him again.”

“I found Angel to be a responsible person who enjoys caring for animals. My dog got to play with other dogs and seemed to have a good time. I got a report card and pictures of her stay. I would highly recommend him for pet sitting.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my sister’s medium sized dog on and off for 4 years, since he was a puppy until now. I’ve also taken care of other pets for friends during college (cats, small dogs). I’m currently on a hybrid schedule meaning I go into the office Tuesday-Thursday from 11am-3:30pm. Apart from those hours, I am completely free to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge dog park 2 minutes walking away from my apartment, as well as a smaller fenced dog park with a nice yard just downstairs.

Wesley B.
“Normally, I leave my dog Freddie with friends who he’s familiar with but recently I found myself in a bit of a jam and unsure of who would be able to watch him while I was on vacation in Las Vegas. Thankfully, Wesley reached out to me and offered to watch Freddie for me. We discussed the condition of Freddie’s stay and what I could expect. I was a bit nervous considering Freddie would be sharing a space with 2 other larger dogs since he’s rather old and timid. Wesley assured me that his dogs were very gentle and would look after him. After a meet and greet I felt more comfortable when I noticed the other 2 dogs were very careful of Freddie and weren’t overly aggressive with him. Even after coming back from vacation I noticed a change in Freddie’s behavior. Having more energy and being more affectionate. Wesley took good care of Freddie and always informed me of what happened that day along with sending pictures with Freddie and his 2 roommates. Wesley is very cognitive of a dogs needs and did an amazing job at making Freddie feel welcome and comfortable in his home.”
