“Janelle was great with our dogs! She was responsive in her communication in booking our stay, asked good questions and made sure she understood our requirements during our meet and greet, and kept us updated on how our pets were doing while we were away. We had such a good experience and booked another session immediately after our first!”



“Nancy is a dream! She took perfect care of my little guy and even gave him a special birthday treat. So many walks, lots of attention, and lots of pictures sent my way. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.”


“I would definitely use Araceli again in the future! She sent me photos while I was away, and kept me up to date with how my baby was doing. My dog seemed happy with her.”


“Elizabeth has taken excellent care of my little guy a couple times now - I admit my I can be extra as a dog dad but she and her family respected all my requests and I could tell that they really took care of my dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. He was loved and cared for and that allowed me to rest easy while away, would recommend!”

“Le'Andra was so incredible. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous because my dog can be anxious and high energy.

I would definitely go with her again, I highly recommend her to anyone.”

“I highly recommend Rumi as a pet sitter! She stayed overnight with my pet, and I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands.

When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pet was calm and content. I will definitely be booking Rumi again for future pet-sitting needs!”


“Allison was very responsive from the very first time I reached out - and I was comfortable with her right away! She sent me updates and pictures every day and I knew my dog was in good hands. While I typically have friends watch Jax - Allison will be my first choice next time we have to go away! She is definitely a dog lover and her family loved my dog too! Perfect setting for a doggie vaca while you are on yours! Thanks again Allison - having my mind at ease away from my "baby" helped me enjoy my vacation sooooo much more.”


“Maxie had a delightful time with Debra! She showered Maxie with attention, only one boarding dog, plus Debra’s dog. She loved exploring the back yard and hanging out as part of the family. Lots of pictures and videos :) Thank you Debra!”


“Katrini and her family are absolutely one of a kind. They take in your furry family member as their own. My little boy always enjoys his time with everyone. Truly a home away from home!”


About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.

“Our dog was a rescue and can be timid and nervous around new people and in new places. We have used Maria's services three times and each time our dog is more and more comfortable at her home. It is clear that Maria and her family love dogs and don't mind about some of our dog's quirks! Maria has been flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and accommodated us when we needed to switch up our plans. We will definitely be using her again! ”
