“Karrie was nothing short of the best! She took amazing care of my mom’s dog Dixie for us while we were on vacation, and even sent us updates and photos to let us know she was doing great which definitely helped put my mom’s separation anxiety at ease! She was wonderful with communication and flexible with drop off & pick up times. We would love to use her again in the future in a heartbeat for our pups! A+++”
“Shalon was amazing with my kitty! She stayed with her for a week while a was away and took such great care of her. She was also so responsive and gave me updates, pictures, and videos of her the entire time!”
“Amazing experience for our pup! Gurudatt and his family took our pup on walk, free play and treated him like one of their family. Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a fabulous time with Mary while we were away for a long weekend! It was great to know they were in good hands, Mary caught some wonderful pictures of our senior dogs frolicking on the beach, and while they were excited to see us as usual, I’m not sure they wanted to come home.”
“Dominick and his family were kind and easy to coordinate with. The dogs came home happy and seemed to enjoy their time!”
“Natalia is officially our go to sitter. This was our 1st time leaving our super anxious dog with a stranger. We were given at least daily photo updates and it also looked like she took him to the beach and dog park (Krypto looked really happy in the photo). Natalia had everything already, so next time we go on vacation we just need to provide Krypto's food and supplements. She purchased a toy for him, has a bed, water/food bowls, crate...so I highly recommend Natalia”
About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.
“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Aya took such great care of our australian shepherds while we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of updates on how they were doing and also offered pick/drop off which was convenient. We came home to 2 very happy pups!”
“Amber is a highly dependable and caring sitter. She took great care of my dog with feedings and walks and sent photos of him while I was traveling. I recommend her and am getting ready to book her again.”
“Like most of the other reviews....our dog Emna came home tired and smiling. Jeanine took her out to the dog park and to Maffitt Reservoir to run around and get plenty of exercise. Emma is our only dog so it was nice for her to have other dogs close to her size to run around with and socialize with. She has a doggy door that the dogs can come and go as they please into the back yard. She was very flexible and willing to work with our schedule for drop off and pick ups. She even sent us home with a few doogy treats and a new dog toy. When we need her in the future we will use her services. Thanks again Jeanine!!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with my friends’ dogs and personal dogs (two French Bulldogs and a Boston Terrier). I am comfortable with all breeds (as long as they are friendly!) I am confident and will make sure the dog and I understand each other during our walks. I am available to walk dogs after 4PM during the week and my weekends are open! I can do home stays/boarding on the weekends only. I have no pets and will be giving my full attention to yours with food, water, treats, naps, playtime, etc. I have an open green space and the dog will be leashed at all times outside of the home.

“My pup loved Elizabeth! He walked right into her home and gave her a nose rub. They spent the weekend together walking a lot, playing, and cuddling. We ran into Elizabeth on our walk a few days ago, and he wanted to go home with her! Thanks for taking good care of my pup, Elizabeth!”
“Carson was so great with our lab, Shelby! He was very responsive, friendly, attentive, and happy to watch Shelby for the weekend. He sent daily pictures/videos too! We couldn’t recommend Carson enough and hope we can schedule him again soon :)”

Very slow going to get into our car LOL I truly can’t say enough about the love and attention Sparky gets here, it’s as fun for Sparky as our vacations are for us! Thank you thank you!!”

Erika V.
“Erika was a very caring and attentive caregiver for our sweet bullmastiff, DeeDee. Dee would be extremely stubborn on walks - to the point of lying down on the sidewalk and refusing to budge, but Erika was always patient and willing to attempt a walk anyway. Dee was always so excited when Erika would walk through the door and loved all of the attention Erika would give her - from head scratches to belly rubs. Dee had some medical issues that required daily medication and Erika made sure to administer it timely and as directed. Since Dee was a rescue and an extra large breed we didn’t like boarding her at large facilities, so we were really grateful Erika was able to come to our home on multiple occasions and take care of our big sweetie. She is so calm and loving in nature and really has a way with animals. Erika was always a very respectful and tidy houseguest as well and we recommend her highly!”
