“Emily and Patrick were absolutely incredible with Isla! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Their dog, Winter, got along so well with Isla, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they had together. They went above and beyond to make sure Isla was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We also want to give a big thank you to their son, who was so sweet and played with Isla! Their patience and attentiveness truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with their boarding services. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“We are so grateful to Yunchun for taking our last-minute boarding request! They did an amazing job caring for our dog Pear. Pear came back happy and tired after lots of playtime and fetch, which is his favorite. It was clear he had a great time. Would absolutely book with Yunchun again - highly recommend”
“This was my second time with Kristen, and once again, it was a great experience! Lilah was extremely happy to see her n her kids again. I received plenty of photos, videos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including two amazing special needs pups—one was deaf, and the other had hydrocephalus. They were my heart, helped raise my now 5-year-old, and filled our home with love and laughs until they passed from old age two years ago. While I’m not ready for another pup of my own just yet, I’d love to give yours the same snuggles, patience, and care I gave mine. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work a flexible schedule and love making time to walk, play with, and care for animals. It’s something I truly enjoy. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether in my home or yours. I follow their routines closely, keep their space clean and cozy, and make sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safe and at ease.
“Charlie was very happy during his stay with Masumi and his new friend Apple. Masumi kindly updated me daily with photos and videos and a brief daily summary of his stay. I was so grateful to hear how he was doing and that he was adjusting well. We would highly recommend them and look forward to having Charlie visit again.”
“Ya-Han provided incredible care for my dog while I was away. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in great hands. She kept me updated with adorable photos, timely messages, detailed daily logs, and made sure my dog felt loved and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that Ya-Han has a true passion for animals, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I highly recommend Ya-Han to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter.”
“This was our first time away from our pup and Shu made it a very pleasant experience. We appreciated the chance for a meet & greet before our time away. Shu provided daily updates and photos to let us know our dog was having a good time. Thanks so much!”
“My dog loves Lorena and Andreas so much! She is always so excited to see them. They love and treat my dog like she is their own. My dog looks so happy in the pictures of the walks, backyard playtime or snuggles she is getting. It is such relief to know is so well taken care of and getting plenty of play and affection.”
“Hee is amazing. She took good care of our 1 year old Tofu and was very flexible to accommodate our last minute travel plans. Will recommend her to anybody! She also kept sending us bunch of pictures to make us feel comfortable.”
“My 1 year old golden retriever has stayed with Sreymom twice now and she has been amazing every time! Maple feels so at home there and Sreymom is amazing about sending photos/communicating with me. She is flexible about pickup and dropoff which has helped me greatly! Would recommend Sreymom to anyone! She is attentive, kind, and will care for your pet as if they are her own!”
“Thank you so much Ling for taking such good care of my fur baby. I love the updates you share and videos. It eases my anxiety of leaving him when I know he’s receiving excellent care and having fun with other dogs you’re caring for. He looks forward to spending time with you in the future! ❤️🙏😊”
“Cindy was great! I felt my dog was very well taken care of while I was away. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and gave me peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Xiaomeng was amazing sitter for my dog. Super flexible and understanding the situation. Most of all, she is truly enjoying spending time with dogs. Loving and trustworthy animal lover. Highly recommended!”
“We can’t thank Kaitlin enough for stepping in on such short notice after we were unexpectedly bailed on by our original sitter. They truly went above and beyond in caring for Barley, who was understandably confused and anxious due to all the sudden changes. Kaitlin was kind, patient, and attentive—Barley quickly warmed up to them, which says a lot! We were constantly updated and reassured, and I could tell Barley was in safe and loving hands. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust Kaitlin to look after Barley again in the future.”
“McKenna and her mom treated Musa like family. They are so sweet and loving and I could tell that our dog felt incredibly well taken care of. They are also wonderful with communication.”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter. Probably the best I’ve ever used. So thoughtful about the care she gives, and just a joy all around. It’s clear this is what Charmaine was born to do.”
“Our dog Hatchi has stayed with Anna two times now. She has taken such great care of him and always comes back home happy and tired. Anna is extremely communicative, reliable and sends regular updates during Hatchi’s stay. What sets Anna apart is the way she goes above and beyond not only for our dog, but for us. Hatchi always comes back clean, smelling fresh and brushed. All his toys, bowls, food containers are cleaned and nothing is missing. We really appreciate Anna’s attention to detail and care. I highly recommend her!”
“Watched my senior dog (14.5 years old) for 11 days. She requires medication, is partially blind, and deaf. Fiona sent pictures and video updates while I was on vacation. I was nervous about leaving her, but relaxed after seeing the updates. I would book with Fiona again.”
“Cary took really good care of my dog the 2 days he stayed with her. The communication was constant and he sent me pictures of my dog (who seemed really happy by the way). I would definitely recommend Cary as a pet sitter or pet walker. He's a really nice person and for sure a pet lover. Thank you Cary!!!”
“Katie & Mark have been so sweet! I was on an urgent trip and was worried about nobody looking after Kumi, but so lucky to had them take my last-min request. They've been sending me pics and videos of Kumi so I can be relaxed while I’m away from her. Looks like she really likes their family and has had the best time in their house. Thank you all so much, and will definitely love to bring Kumi over again next time if needed!!”

Amanda B.
“Highest recommendations for Amanda to care for your four-legged loved ones. When we were peers, Amanda was one of the go-to people for help and never hesitated to take on extra responsibilities. Their attention to detail and fantastic customer service made a huge difference for our team. Plus, Amanda is a super caring mom, which just shows how nurturing they are. Amanda’s dedication and positive attitude make them perfect for this work. I’m sure any pet would be in great (safe) hands with Amanda!”
