“Ivan was wonderful with our Bernadoodle! He sent a ton of photos and I felt super comfortable knowing our pup was loved and cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Ivan and plan to have Summit stay with him again in the future.”


“I can’t believe we got this lucky. Michael is only the nicest human on the planet. He and his family took the best care of our Brucey while we were on our 2.5-week trip to Ireland. Daily walks, daily pics, great guy, the best care. Only negative is that I thiiiiiink he stole my dog’s heart ♥️”


“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”


About: I have loved and cared for animals throughout my entire life. I started fostering dogs and puppies a couple years ago (after our 16 year old chihuahua passed away) and it has brought a lot of happiness to our family. My 7 year old daughter especially loves animals and is excited to help care for your pets. We will treat your dog as if it was our own! We look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pups! I’m currently only working part time and I am home throughout the day. I love going on walks daily and can take your dog out multiple times a day! I have a fenced back yard and lots of space for your dog. Dogs are welcome anywhere in our home and we will treat them like they are own!

“Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She was so flexible when our vacation dates changed, adding 2 additional days right at Christmas time. She went over and above by allowing us to come twice for a meet and greet ahead of time so Biscotti could get used to her. During Biscotti’s stay, she sent us multiple updates throughout the day. It was obvious she was taking great care of Biscotti as well as the other 2 dogs she was caring for. Biscotti was happy, healthy, and sad to say goodbye to her new friend when we picked her up. Kelly provided all the daily love and attention Biscotti was used to and we never worried about her during our trip. I highly recommend Kelly!”


About: From wild puppy zoomies to slow strolls with seniors, I’ve done it all! I’ve raised our corgi since she was a puppy helping with crate training, leash skills, potty training, learning new tricks, etc. I’ll adjust my care to meet your dog’s energy and needs, whether that’s playing fetch or just offering a calm and comfortable environment. Your dog will get treated just as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home full-time so I have the time and freedom to give your dogs the attention, play, and care they deserve. I take my own dog on multiple walks and trips to the dog park everyday and your pup is welcome to come along! My schedule is flexible and can be tailored to fit you and your dogs needs. I will stick to your pets usual routines to keep them comfortable, so please let me know their schedule around walks, meals, playtime, and naps, and whatever else your dog loves to do. I always keep a clean, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, belly rubs, and mental stimulation. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming them into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and never alone. I live in an apartment but can easily take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or just a short ride from the nearest dog park.

“This was Indy’s second time staying over and she had a great time! She was very excited to see Meghana again and I got plenty of updates during her stay. Meghana was also really helpful and flexible when I was running late to pickup Indy.”


“Francesca was fantastic with my 14 year old basset! I love that she had 2 bassets of her own for mine to play with. She had great communication & sent pics of all the fun things Bruno was doing! A+”

“William and his girlfriend were awesome. I got regularly pictures and videos, prompt answers when I texted. When I picked up Poppy, she was so calm and happy!”


“Yoko was wonderful with my dog, Mochi. She took Mochi on long walks, played with her, and even cooked and fed her chicken breast when Mochi was not eating properly. Yoko was also great at sharing regular updates with plenty of pictures and videos. She made me feel at peace while I was away, as I knew Mochi was in good hands.”


“We had Katsu stay with Yvonne for two nights as a trial run for a longer stay in May. I sent her care instructions the day before and she made sure to ask clarifying questions. We don’t take Katsu to dog parks and she was very respectful of that. During his stay with her, she sent several pictures everyday. My husband and I would get so excited when new pictures came in. It was clear he had a great time! We feel comfortable having Yvonne care for him again next month .”
