“Edgar was awesome!! Day was right at home as soon as he got there. He loved having a friend to play with during his stay. We received great updates with pics. Perk for me is he’s right around the corner. I’ll absolutely be using him again.”
“When my initial Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, I reached out to Samantha and she happily took Hazel into her home for a week! She was friendly and communicative with updates and pictures. Hazel was well cared for!”
“My dog couldn’t have stayed in a better place! It was his first time with Birol, and he warmed up within minutes. I loved getting photo and video updates throughout the day. Birol not only lets him on the furniture (which some sitters don’t) but also takes him on varied walks around the neighborhood so he can explore and sniff everything. I’ll be booking with Birol again soon!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Bronwen is always attentive to Tootsie’s needs. She’s creative with natural foods. She treats Tootsie like her own fur baby. I like the pictures she sends me. The backyard is perfect for exploring and her house is set up for rest and being playful with no canine odor.”
“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”
“My go-to sitter. My pup always has a great time hanging out with Sirius and Billie. Trey keeps me up-to-date and sends me pics and videos to show all the fun she’s having and put my mind at ease. Would absolutely recommend as a caring place to send their pup.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and an ICU nurse, so I understand how important staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is—and that goes for our dogs too! Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from Dobermans to Yorkshire Terriers. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to tailor my care to whatever works best for you and your pup. I live in an apartment, but I’m surrounded by parks and great walking areas, so I can take your dog on walks around your neighborhood or to nearby parks for some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also a great fit for dogs who may not do well around other pets, as I’m happy to give them one-on-one attention in a comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your preferred routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾❤️ I am surrounded by many parks, so taking advantage of the weather and getting my steps in with your dog is one way to make them feel comfortable and making sure their physical needs are met. I am trustworthy and transparent when taking care of pets. I treat them like my own while following any special care they need! I am happy to send updates through photos or videos as well.

“Donna was wonderful! She accepted my dog on short notice, gave him wonderful care, and allowed me to extend his stay by a day. Bandit was a part of the family, and didn’t want to leave :) Definitely recommended!”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
“Neetika was wonderful taking care of Ms P. Ms P suffers from anxiety but was made comfortable with Neetika and her family in fact Ms P prefered to go on walks with husband which not her usual manner. I would highly recommend Neetika.”
