“Nichole has been great with Louie. The pictures I get while he is in her care make me feel relieved that my pup is in good hands. The treat cup she sent home with him was such a nice touch.”


“Rachel was great! My little girl can be nervous with new people but Rachel made her feel right at home. Layla had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired. Rachel was awesome about updating me throughout the day with videos and pictures of Layla’s adventures. We will definitely use Rachel’s service again!”


“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”


“We were in a bind and needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog. Thankfully Tina was available and was very friendly and great with communication! Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”

“Adaigo has loved his time with Lynn for doggie daycare these past couple of weeks. She takes time with him as he is a puppy and is full of energy! I will continue to bring Adaigo for daycare!”


“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”


“I needed a last minute sitter and Mackenzie was there for me! She was courteous and friendly. My pup will definitely go back. I love how she let my puppy play with another pup! She sent videos and pictures to ease my mind that my pup was in the right place. I highly recommend Mackenzie (Vozzie)”


“Amada is the best. She is patient, kind, and very flexible. She truly loves dogs and cares about us humans too. Highly recommended for your dog's great care and your peace of mind”


About: I being having dogs my entire life since I was 9 years old. For more than 30 years I been taking care of different breed of dogs. We love dogs, we work flexible schedules making this an extra opportunity to meet new people and help the families on their vacation or immediate needs. I have a fenced backyard perfect for the new friends to enjoy, giving them quality care and safe environment for their convenience .I like to make them feel at home!

About: I have 2 dogs of my own!! I have a German and a Pomeranian!! I love walking my German and I make sure both dogs get to play & get all thier energy out! I used to take care of a horse I rode, and I had to rabbits of my own for a long while.

About: I have been taking care of my family and friends' dogs for over 30 years now and have decided to do this to help out family, friends and to meet new friends as well. I absolutely love animals, but dogs are the best! There is something about them that gives me peace, comfort and joy! I am available whenever you need, except when I travel. My apartment will only accommodate small and medium dogs. Preferably hypoallergenic. I would prefer meeting the dog prior to boarding. I have experience administering meds if needed. I do work during the day from home, so I will be home all day with my pups!! Special skills would be lots of loving and cuddling! :) I will love and care for your dog as if they were my own! I work from home, so unless I need to run out or have an event, they will not be left alone for no more than 4 to 6 hours depending on the event. Generally speaking, I do not have that many events. 😊 I do have carpet and the majority of my dogs are crate trained for when I need to leave the house. Since I'm home, I will only need to crate if I can't take them with me. I do not want to risk any damages so this is non-negotiable. Crate-trained only.

“We used Angie four days for Doggie Daycare when I was out of town and my husband was working all day. She was AMAZING! Our dog loved her and enjoyed spending time with Angie each day! We will definitely use her again in the future! I’m so excited we found her!”

“Kathleen and her family are simply amazing! She is always on time and ready to take my fur baby daily. When we arrive at her house my pup tries to jump out of my arms to and into hers. She is flexible, kind, and her love for animals shows in every photo and when I pick up my Hershey. I recommend her for weekly care and care as needed.”
