“I highly recommend Mary! This was my first time boarding Milo and he was in such great hands with her. I got pictures throughout the time I was gone which helped ease being away from my little guy. He looked so happy and I’m sure he didn’t want to come home! I will definitely be using Mary in the future :)”
“Cindy was great at accommodating drop-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative throughout Mochi and Mimi's stay with her. She was proactive at sending pictures and videos of the dogs, and provided regular updates on their behavior. Her constant communication was very reassuring and gave me peace of mind while I was on my trip. I highly recommend her!”
“My guy, Amigo, had a great stay with Jenna. I was worried because we had some disruptions prior to his stay but she was great at communicating how he was doing & sent updates/pictures to ensure my guy was doing good while I was away. Would absolutely rebook!”
“Olivia was a truly fantastic sitter for our fur baby, Dani! I was concerned because Dani's separation anxiety was pretty bad when I dropped her off, but Olivia was awesome. She provided frequent updates and photos that showed Dani was actually very comfortable and relaxed during her stay. I'm so grateful and highly recommend her!”
“Harper is an amazing sitter! She replied promptly and and sent us pictures/updates throughout the day. Lulu had a great time with her. We will definitely be booking with her in the future again.”
“Definitely recommend. Went on a trip and she took care of my dog no problem. Got updates daily through the app or text. Going to return next time we have a trip again.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends! Over the years, I have provided a variety of pet care services, including taking pets on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and bathing them. My experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of pet needs and a genuine love for caring for animals! I'm available on weekdays from 10am-5pm and weekends from after 2pm! Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings. Please try to request a few weeks out so we can guarantee a meet & greet! I have a reliable transportation to go to farther places if needed. I have a fenced backyard for your pets to play in! I have a two story home that allows your pets to comfortably roam around. I currently have no personal pets residing in my house so I will be able to take care of your pet more properly one on one!
“Natalia is the best with my puppies. She sent pics everyday and spoiled them so much. I extended the stay of my pups and she did above and beyond to accommodate my request. We were so lucky to find her and my pups love her.”
“Kilo had a great stay! Gagandeep was very attentive and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands and I would definitely book again!!”
“Lea is amazing. She took wonderful care of my Riley! I've never left him with sitter before & I was anxious but she put me at ease & Riley was happy with her. I would recommend Leah to anyone!”
“Amazing Sitter ! Leo totally enjoyed his stay at her place . She takes care of fur babies like her own and keeps them engaged all the time . Glad i found someone like her for my baby .”
“Angelica is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! I cannot say enough about the care that our dog. I have received texts, lot of pictures, and videos while we have been gone updating me on their (Angelica, her husband and her son) activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about Toffrey at all while we are gone. We were gone for almost three weeks, and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog. There was a thorough interview before she took the job and everything was covered to ensure the best quality care would be given to my dog and I am surprised she is given more than I expected. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus …”
“This was our second time boarding Maggie and Sugar, and once again we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were in warm, loving hands. Leaving your pups behind is never easy, but knowing they’re so well cared for makes all the difference — we actually enjoy our time away without a worry in the world. 🐾 Both girls came home happy, relaxed, and tail-wagging, which says it all. The love and attention they receive goes above and beyond, and it means everything to find someone who truly treats your dogs like their own. Thank you Socorro and We’re already looking forward to booking our next stay! Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Robin and Daniel were great. This was the first time my dog went to a sitter and I was a nervous wreck but Robin made me feel so comfortable with pictures and updates throughout the day. Definitely recommend!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”

Cindy was awesome with Zoey and Zoomer! She took great care of them, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They came home happy and well cared for, and it was obvious they had a great time. We’d definitely board with Cindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
We had a great experience! Yonkyu was responsive, communicated regularly, and kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. I appreciate her trials to ensure it’s a good match. We'd happily book with her again!
Shuvashna took wonderful care of our puppy, Harvey. It was our first time boarding him, and she made the experience easy and reassuring. She sent great photos and updates throughout the day, and Harvey even made some new friends and seemed to have a great time. The whole experience gave us real peace of mind.
Leaving your dog for 2 weeks can be incredibly stressful, but Dean made me feel completely comfortable from the start. Thanks to him, I worried so much less while I was away. He sent daily updates and pictures, and in every photo, Koji looked relaxed and right at home. Dean truly treated Koji like his own dog and gave him so much love. He was fantastic at following all of my specific instructions for Koji’s daily feeding and grooming routines. I also really appreciated how attentive he was. He noticed a slight quirk in Koji's behavior and immediately checked in with me to make sure it was normal for him. It’s rare to find someone so observant and caring. I highly recommend him and will absolutely trust him with Koji again!
I felt very comfortable immediately with Izzy and his family. There beautiful dog Bella greeted us with enthusiasm and curiosity. I received daily updates and photos. I appreciated the quick responses on any message I sent. My dog Max will be staying with Izzy family in the future.
Johanna is wonderful. She helped take care of my dog for the weekend. My dog Mia is quite anxious when she’s away from us but I’m glad Mia got comfortable with Johanna for the weekend. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and I’m thankful for the great care that Johanna has provided.
Thank you for taking such good care of our Bob Dog. We very much appreciated the daily photos of Bob so we could see his cute face everyday!! Olivia has a great dog friendly house and a securely fenced front and back yard where the dogs can run around. There are doggie blankets and foam stairs all around the house, so I felt comfortable that Bob would be treated like part of the family. Would DEFINITELY use again. Thank you!!!
Although I boarded my pup for a short trip, Socorro took amazing care of him. Communication was great, I received multiple photos of my goofball, and I can tell he was really happy to be there. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much for watching JJ!
Jianhui and Jacqueline shared daily updates and were thoughtful about the routine. Our dog can be reactive around other dogs, so they planned visits to the dog park when it was empty. They clearly love dogs. I am so glad they were available on short notice! Will book again.
Lai was so good with my old English bulldog. She was instantly comfortable with him and had good control of him. She said he did really well and I was happy with her care. She sent me updates daily and videos. He really looked like he enjoyed himself there. I would definitely recommend her and will return.
Jocelyn was great with my dog. She knew we were nervous leaving him for the first time and gave us regular updates. She even gave him a mini photoshoot with better pictures I would've taken. He looked so comfortable when I picked him up as if he had known Jocelyn forever. Thank you Jocelyn!
Cassandra is simply the best dog sitter. With daily pictures and updates. I couldn’t give her enough applause!! My senior dog took some time to settle in and Cassandra handled him with the utmost care and compassion!! Thanks again for the fantastic care you gave to Teddy.
