“Thank you so much for Stephanie and Ben for taking my little guy last minute and helping him with all of his senior needs and a few tips for myself for having an elderly dog.. they were in touch with updates and was big help..”
“Ilsa was wonderful! We have an older dog who is typically nervous around new people, and he took to her right away! While she was watching him, she kept in touch, gave us updates on how he was doing and what they were up to for the day. Our dog was visibly happy with her, as are we! It's tempting to keep her our best kept secret, but If you need someone great who will love your pup the way you do, we would highly recommend her!”
“Ana was the absolute best. She updated me frequently with pictures and videos. She took such good care of my dog, was flexible and patient. I would trust her with my dog anytime!”
“Nikole took great care of our dog and updated us throughout the stay! I felt reassured that I was leaving my dog in good hands when dropping her off with her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Amazing sitter that made my little man feel so welcomed! Panda is a big sweet goofball that I could tell from the pictures played so great with my guy!! Definitely will be using her as a sitter regularly now!”
“Destiny is the first person I’ve trusted to watch my dog outside of family, and she made the entire experience perfect. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. If I ever need the service again, I will choose her every time. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos without me even having to ask, and my dog looked so loved and cared for the whole time. Destiny is also very accommodating and flexible. I felt bad because I had to make a last-minute change to the drop-off and pick-up times, and she was incredibly understanding and worked with me. Highly recommend—love her! 🐾”
“Shelby was absolutely amazing with our pup, Oakley! She had the best time and was so clearly loved and cared for all weekend. We got tons of updates, and it was obvious Oakley was getting plenty of attention, walks, and frisbee time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. We’d highly recommend Shelby to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Joe and Carol we're great! The watched our dog for two weeks, sent plenty of pics and videos, and he came back a happy pup. We'll definitely look for them next time we go out of town.”
“Aloysius was a great care taker for my pups. He’s very responsive, considerate, and understands all different dog temperaments. He has no issues with my fussy dog Maui. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better care for our Dobermans. Plenty updated and photos, dogs has lots of activities and love from Monica and her husband. Highly recommended! 🥰”
About: Happy to take care of your fur-babies like they’re my own! I love animals and spending time with them , whether it’s walks, baths, potty breaks, or anything in between I’d be happy to help! I have a regular routine with work 5 days a week and free on the weekends. I am more than happy to go out of my way to stop by before and after work and whenever else needed on weekdays, and spend as much time with your fur babies on the weekend🫶🏻 My apartment is pet friendly and has a fenced in area for all animals! Next to a park which is great for walks! Looking forward to adhering to all animals’ schedules and routines as needed to make your pets comfortable while they await your return💓💓💓
“Brian was great! Our puppy was well cared for and happy. He sent pictures and updates and was very communicative. It was also an amazing added bonus that he picked her up and dropped her back off at our house on what was a very difficult day for us. Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”

Hollyanne and Donovan have been amazing. They have a great space and tons of love to give. Always plenty of updates and playtime. I always feel comfortable having my dog there and I enjoy getting all the pictures of their daily activities. Great Rover! Highly recommend.
Denisse was great with Logan, being flexible and pivoting to make him happy when he decided to pout hard when we left on vacation. She was very communicative and I had an easy time with making contact with her throughout Logan’s stay. She had a sense of humor when it came to my quirky guy! All needs were met and Logan was very happy with his stay, giving Denisse kisses goodbye when we picked him up. I would absolutely use Denisse again if Logan needs a sitter.
Andrew was amazing! Benson had the best time there. I could tell Andrew and his home were the perfect fit, he really loved Benson and kept me updated with pictures. It's most important for me that someone loves being around Benson and that was my experience with Andrew. Benson couldn't wait to go with him and was so happy while there. Andrew was reliable and responded very quickly. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Andrew!
This was Franklin’s first time staying with Xóchitl so he was a bit anxious the first day and night but she was communicative and kept me updated once he was settled in. She sent lots of pictures which showed he was having a good time cuddling and relaxing on blankets and begging for food 😛 she has a nice home and outdoor space was nice. Xóchitl was great!
Jordan was absolutely amazing with Chase. She provided frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. I’ve already booked my my dog’s next stay with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy! 🐾❤️
Felicia was amazing with our 13 year old dog, Oscar. He has a lot of anxiety and is very dependent on me especially in his old age, so we don’t leave him very often and are always nervous when we do. She updated us often with messages and pictures, gave him the best attention and care, and provided so much peace of mind while we were away. Oscar warmed up to her quickly, which is rare for him and really speaks to how comfortable and safe she made him feel. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We are so grateful for the care she gave our boy and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Felicia! 🐾💙
I cannot recommend her enough. The amount of care and love she has for my baby girl is truly unmatched. When an unexpected situation came up, she didn’t hesitate to keep my dog for an additional four days beyond what was originally planned.Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches as if they were her own.The relief, comfort, and trust she provided during a stressful time meant more to me than I can put into words. My girl was happy, well cared for, and loved the entire time. This was by far the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had, and I will absolutely be booking with her everytime and all the time .
Jazzy was an amazing caregiver for my dog, I loved the area immediately and knew that my dog would love it too. My dog was excited to see her, and when I picked him up, remained calm, letting me know that he felt at peace the entire time. Definitely looking forward to rebooking again, thank you so much!
This was the first time my doggo did boarding. In a new city. Needless to say, it was nerve-racking for both of us, but Fatima made the whole process feel easy. She provided continuous updates and took care of my boy while he was also taking medication for a minor injury. Thank you so much! 🥹💖
