“Britanny is wonderful. My dog was very unsure and combative when I took her to be boarded. We were not sure that we would be able to leave. Brittany was very reassuring and knew just how to sooth her (and me). It worked out so well and Kiwi really settled in and we were able to enjoy our week secured in knowing all was OK. Photos and texts daily were very reassuring. Thank you Britanny and family!”



“Maria is just fantastic! She is very professional, so very kind and sweet. We received daily updates, pics and videos of our dog Micky. She even groomed him and trimmed his claws for us. Our dog was part of her family and we highly recommend Maria and we will happily use her again. Maria deserves more then 5 stars. ???”


“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”


“This is Shadows second time staying with Erika and she had a blast! Erika sent pictures and updates everyday of her stay. Erika is easy to keep in contact with and responds very quickly. 10/10 would book again!”


“I had an amazing experience with Jourdyn! From the very beginning, she had great communication, maintained professionalism, and it was wonderful to see that I found a sitter who truly cared about my pup Leo. Jourdyn sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the videos of her spending quality time with Leo. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the near future. Thank you Jourdyn! - Shar and Leo”


“Absolute best choice we could have made for my baby boy Banana. It was his first time away from home and he lived her family. She kept in contact so well. A million thank yous to her and her some Jame. I will bring him back to visit I promis.”


“Marie was great with our frenchie Dean. I can tell by the pictures she sent us that he was well taken care of and he made himself right at home. I will definitely leave him in her care again.”


“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“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.”


“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.”


“Kristen was great with Sunny! I’m a nervous dog mom but after we left, Kristen made sure to let me know Sunny was doing well. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which I appreciated so much. Wound definitely recommend Kristen! Thanks for taking such good care of my furbaby!”


“We needed Jasie because our usual person was not available. Jasie lives across the street from us and we didn’t even know that until Rover! We went away Friday night to Sunday night. Jasie was great, she sent pictures, texted any questions and cared for Cadie like we would. We are so happy we found her! Will use again!”


“Nicole is clearly a lover of all dogs! She was professional and responsive, and sent daily updates throughout the boarding. Our dog looked happy in her updates and when we picked him up!”


“Vanessa exceeded all expectations. I'm very nervous leaving my dog with anyone because she's very old and blind so requires a delicate touch- Vanessa provided that and more. Thank you so much Vanessa for taking such good care of my baby.”


“To say Cheyenne is amazing is an understatement! This was the best decision we have ever made when it comes to the care of our Brandy. She checked in so many times a day, sent pictures and by the end we were afraid Brandy wasn't going to want to come home!! I will not only use her all the time going forward but recommend her to everyone who needs doggie care! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”


“Gian is amazing at what he does with my 80lb dog, Blue. I was impressed at how quickly Gian was able to gain Blue’s trust and respect to make him feel safe early on. I also like the photo updates while I’m away, often for work. I also found that Gian’s English is developing, so he closely follows your detailed instructions posted on your profile, and in circumstances has cleaned Blue’s ears and brushed him daily. I’m looking forward to more stays.”
