“Dominique did an excellent job with my Ella! I was out of town for 1 week and needed someone to give my pup her daily morning walks. I requested Dominique on a short notice, thankfully she was very quick to reply to my request. She also arranged a meet and greet which I had not done before. I'm glad she did it as it left me feeling very comfortable with the whole process (I'm a bit obsessed with my dog). Dominique was always on time and sent over lots of pics from their walks! Would definitely book her again!”
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”

“Sarah was great and communicative! This was the first time we used her and she was easy to work with and responsive. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Very convenient and responsive. Was able to fulfill a request with less than 24 hour notice really appreciated that.”
“A few weeks ago, a stray pup walked into my house and after no one claimed him at the pound, I did. Problem is, I'm a director often on set and this particular week, a 14 hours shoot day popped up. I had no idea how I could give my little best friend proper walks and attention and have a demanding career. Very last minute I reached out to LeNai. I was instantly impressed with her background and professionalism. She was accommodating, responsible, shared photos and videos of Goose throughout his walks. She even made a special trip back for me to set the alarm. No problems, pure ease. Every bit about this experience was a delight and a relief. I ABSOLUTELY would use LeNai again for all of my future doggy needs. Thanks LeNai! You're an amazing help and put your customers at ease when it comes to minding our most precious little friends.”
About: I deeply respect dogs as individuals with their own temperaments, personalities, quirks, and needs. I’ve owned and dog-sat for a wide range of dogs from low-maintenance to high-maintenance, social to socially avoidant, and everything in between. Usually social but doesn’t like people in hats or sunglasses? Got it. cool. I know dogs are weirdos and I don’t judge. I’ve had super calm, easy breezy dogs, judgmental diva Patti LuPones, lights are on but no one’s home dogs, a dog with multiple personality disorder. All good. I also have experience with behavioral nuances like resource guarding in certain settings. I pay close attention to temperament, boundaries, and communication style, etc. and adjust accordingly. Safety is my top priority. I never take dogs to dog parks, and I assess walking routes with intention, considering the neighborhood and any potential triggers. I’ve always loved dogs and they bring so much joy to my life. I genuinely enjoy connecting with each one. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I can dog sit on weekends and can do some week days. I prefer at least a day in advance notice but can occasionally do last minute. I am comfortable pet sitting at your home and following whatever routine your pet is accustomed to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house at this time.
