“Luisa was excellent! We got tons of updates, pictures and our pup was so well cared for throughout the day. We were so grateful for her. Incredibly flexible, patient, and kind. Highly recommend!!”

“Yoshi enjoys his stay with Jennifer. Early morning drop-off means he gets to play with her children and afternoon park walk with them is a nice way to end his stay. Lots of photos and I can tell by his big grin that he had an awesome time. I am extremely happy finding Jennifer. More visits to come.”

“Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.”

About: Former mental-health professional who is happily shifting my career from mental health & behavioral health counseling to full-time animal care—because honestly, dogs have always been my favorite therapy clients! I fully understand fear, trauma, and behavior at a deep level. For years I have been the go to Foster for local rescues for complex medical and emotional needs dogs. For nearly 15 years I’ve volunteered and fostered with local rescues and shelters, helping many dogs find calm, confidence, and their forever homes. I hold canine CPR & first-aid certification, I have extensive training in dog behavior and positive-reinforcement techniques, and I’m currently studying for my CPDT-KA professional dog trainer certification. When your dog stays with me, they are literally the only guest in my home. They have full run of the house and fully fenced backyard, sleep wherever they feel most secure (many choose right in bed with me), and receive gentle, constant companionship in an ultra-low-stress environment. I work from home, have no children present, no other animals and I am the only person in my home. My fully fenced, spacious backyard gives them plenty of room to zoom, play, or just sunbathe while I’m never more than a room away. Canine CPR certified and comfortable with injections, fluids, seizure meds, tubes — whatever your dog needs. No kids, no pets, no chaos—just peace and snuggles Your dog lives like family: free roam, couch cuddles, my bed if wanted, constant company, daily yard play, fresh meals, meds, love—never crated or alone.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love making time to give animals attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal schedule so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and leashes, and respectful of your home and space. I follow feeding instructions closely, keep water fresh, and make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and supervision while in my care.
“Jennifer sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and went above and beyond to make Apollo comfortable. I'll definitely send Apollo there again when we're out skiing!”

About: Dog Daycare is Mon-Fri, 7:30-3:30. I send photo pupdates and shuttle dogs home between 3:30-4:30pm. 🚙 I can comfortably board dogs up to 3 weeks and make sure they still have a loved and happy time. 🧡 I’ve been working with cats & dogs since 2004 and would love to fill your best friend’s day with their favorite fun activities! :-) I start my dog walks and drop in cat care visits as early as sunrise. And, I say goodnight to my last customers by evening. From the moment I step through your door, I am happy to follow special feeding instructions, play their favorite games or take a neighborhood walk.
“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”

“When our dog, Galadriel came home from her first day of daycare, she passed out and slept for a good 4 hours! I was told from Jill she had the time of her life! We are really happy that G has a place to run around and that she also has another dog to play with. We also got text updates and photos! Awesome place!”

“Jerry is simply amazing. If you are an animal lover, and have a "sixth-sense" of other animal lovers, then you will likely resonate with Jerry. He is extraordinarily empathic. My ONLY hesitation in writing this review is that I don't want him to grow so *in-demand* that it becomes tricky to book him! From a practical perspective, he is incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, accommodating and communicative. Our mini-Aussie (Nigel) has a bit of separation anxiety, and Jerry accommodated to this dynamic flawlessly, and provided an outstanding service/ for us and our "fur baby"... I am so very grateful - and at Peace - to have Nigel in Jerry's care again soon. Much Gratitude”


About: I am a dog lover and I work 90% from home. I had two sweet boxers in the past who were by my side for frequent walks, trips to the dog park, ball playing in the yard, and frequent adoration and potty breaks. Your four legged kids will get lots of love and affection. I work from home and have lots of opportunities for walks and play. I have availability during traditional work hours and some weekends with advance notice. I used to have very active dogs and I can offer lots of attention, play, and affection. I have nearby trails and parks for extra exercise. I always use caution when out in public and make sure pets are on leash when out for walks and are secure in a home before opening doors.

“Sonya was communicative throughout the day about how our dog was doing and sent a few photos. At pickup, Sonya provided more details about our dog’s day and his socialization with other dogs. This was the first time he has been at doggy daycare and really socializing with other dogs. Sonya made us feel comfortable and our dog was happy and tuckered out from having so much fun.”

“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”

“Brought Lilly for a day care visit and it went very well. Jena is knowledgeable, kind and caring. I am going to book with Jenna again when I go out of town next month.”

“Awesome sitter. Morpheus had a blast and was calm coming home which is such a great thing because he has nonstop energy. Matt sent me a video of him having fun shortly after I left him and quickly responded to any texts I sent while Morpheus was in his care. We will be going back!”
