“I recently had Jieun look after my dog and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure Skippy was well cared for and comfortable. Skippy can be reserved with new people, but he quickly warmed up to Jieun. Communication was another standout aspect of the stay. I received regular updates and great photos of Skippy having a good time, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that Jieun genuinely cared about Skippy’s well-being. The level of attention and care Skippy received was outstanding. I highly recommend Jieun if you need someone to care for your pet. Skippy and I are both incredibly grateful for the exceptional stay!”
“Bruce was very communicative and loved our pups. They can be a bit hyperactive at times and Bruce handled them perfectly. Would highly recommend and will be booking again!”
“Howard & Kathleen are an absolute delight. We never have to worry when our girls are with them. Our girls always come home happy and content....we have been using them for more than 5 years now, highly recommend!”
“Julissa was wonderful with Thor and very accommodating to our last minute changing schedule due to flight delays. She provided updates and photos of our pup which eased our seperation. Thank you, Julissa!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats (and chickens, goats, sheep, and pigs!) since I was a teenager. Neighbors and friends often call upon me when they go out of town. I have experience house training puppies, and administering medicine to elderly pets. I work from home Monday and Friday and I am available on weekends. I work 9-5 in an office Tuesday-Thursday, so I’m available before and after work to care for your pets. I offer a lot of attention to your pets. I love to play and match their energy, as well as administer whatever needs they may have!
“Stephanie did an amazing job with my Otter while I was gone on my trip! She took him to a dog party and walked/hiked with him every day. I received tons of updates and pictures. If you are leaving town, leave your pup with Stephanie, she is awe-inspiring.”
“Malik is a great Petsitter. I was worried about leaving my senior dog with him, but he offered a meet and greet and they were a match! Malik took good care of him, sent updates and was patient. I would definitely rebook!”
“I have never left my Eli with a family before so this was something entirely new for us. However, after having unsuccessful stays at a couple of boarding facilities over the years, I decided to try this route. I couldn't have been more pleased with the care that was afforded to Eli. Mark allowed me to bring Eli to his home prior to my actual booking so that Eli could get acquainted with the family and other pets. Once I saw the positive interaction between all of the pets, and Eli's level of comfort, I was sold. Mark even sent me a message while I was away sharing how well Eli was doing throughout his stay. Needless to say, I will definitely rebook with Mark and his family in the future. They are great!”
“Frida was well cared for and seemed to bond with Briana. This a huge accomplishment for our slightly skittish rescue dog. I Highly recommend Briana and her dogs for boarding.”
“Monique and Anthony have been absolutely fantastic! Our dog stayed with them for 11 days while we were gone and they kept us updated with photos and videos. We could clearly see how happy our dog was and we’ll definitely book them again. Highly recommend!”
“Justin was amazing! He was able to come and do a meet-n-greet, pick Harley up, communicate and drop her off as planned. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very happy and I'd be excited to have her stay with Justin again in the future.”
“Alexandra took great care of our very energetic dog. She was very communicative over text and sent lots of pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely continue to leave our dog with her in the future!”
“Raeven was absolutely fantastic to our high energy 11 month old rottie puppy. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. I was worried about him being a handful, but everything went well and Raeven was unphased by his size and energy.”
“Smart, kind, and attentive. Claudia and Steven are wonderful people and our pup Luna enjoyed two great stays with them. They shared updates and photos on a regular basis which is so appreciated.”
“Bre is AMAZING. We have used River a few times before and I have never been happier! She was so communicative and was great in sending pictures. She is such a sweet person. This is literally the first time we leave Kodak and not feel anxious about how he is doing. Kodak loved her and I know she loved him. She took him on long walks and even walked him before we came to pick him up so that we didn’t have to. She is so thoughtful and so accommodating. Our flight ended up being delayed and we didn’t get to her house until an hour after we originally told her, she wasn’t upset at all and was very understanding. I would recommend Bre to anyone who wants to feel relaxed and reassured leaving their fur baby behind.”
“True dog lover, just the type of person you want caring for your fur baby! My dog was well cared for, pampered and loved. She was proactive contacting me with a concern about my dogs health, which I truly appreciated. Definitely can recommend and will book with her again.”
“Anthony was friendly and welcoming towards my young dog. Pictures, videos, and updates were sent frequently and my dog came back happy and healthy. Anthony's yard is great for safe play and exercise. I hope my dog can join the crew at Anthony's the next time he needs a sitter.”
