4. Natalie M.

“She is wonderful! I got multiple pictures and videos a day. The babies had so much fun and I knew they were in good hands. I will be using Natalie again whenever we go out of town.”


5. Sarah & Erik J.

“All I can say is WOW!!! We had to go out of town during all the bad weather and storms. They kept in touch with us before boarding our dog Jake. They had lost power due to the storms but still went ahead and said bring Jake over. Jake and their dog Rosie played in their backyard and went on walks, they sent pictures and videos of the dogs playing and just hanging out. We did not know how Jake would do with a little baby but both were fine. The baby finally warmed up to Jake on last day. All this time and no power. Picked up Jake Sunday morning he was sad to leave but was happy to come home. He is resting after all the excitement of being them. We will definitely use them again in future for boarding and will even explore daycare options with them. Thank you again for all that you did, it was very much appreciated.”


6. Valerie G.

“This was my first time ever leaving my dog while I went on vacation and I was super nervous about it but Valerie did such an amazing job and made sure to keep me posted with pictures and videos the whole time. I will definitely be taking her back. Such a good positive experience!”


7. Shamika F.

“Shamika was a pleasure to work with. Her communication and care for Rylee was all fantastic. We loved how she sent us pictures and videos of Rylee. We felt such peace knowing that our sweet girl was being loved and treated so well. We highly recommend Shamika to others and will use her again in the future.”


8. Amy B.

“Amy was a godsend for us!!! Our senior girl Sophie was boarded with Amy ( and her wonderful husband & daughter) for five days. I was worried Sophie would be anxious and nervous but nothing could be farther from the truth. Instead of having to readjust from a boarding experience at home afterwards, Sophie happy was and playful & went back to her normal routine. Would highly recommend Amy and her precious little family.”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and have been caring for friends and families pets since I can remember. I have my own pets and care for others pets (family) as if they were my own. I work remotely Monday through Friday with a lot of flexibility. I have my own dog and cats I care for and would love to care for others with all my free time!

11. Rachel P.


“Rachel was a great host! I was gone on a 5-day trip and she agreed to keep my pup the whole time. I felt great about her being there, as I could tell from the start that she felt comfortable in Rachel's place - and with her own dog.”


12. Bryan T.

“Our Golden Retriever puppy (8 months) had a great weekend with Bryan and his family. He was kind enough to share pictures with us of River while we were away. He welcomed a meet and greet before we booked to ensure it would be a good fit. Bryan and his family (2 children) were all involved in caring for River which is wonderful since River is used to having 2 children around him at our home. I would highly recommend him to others needing a dogsitter and we will be back again!”

15. Lipika M.

“We are truly grateful for the exceptional care Lipika provided to our dog during his stay. From the very beginning, it was evident that she treated him with the utmost kindness and attention, as though he were her own. She ensured he was well-fed, took him on regular walks, and kept him engaged with toys and play. We also greatly appreciated the thoughtful updates she sent us, including photos and videos, which allowed us to see how happy and comfortable he was throughout the day. It was a pleasure knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend her services.”


16. Mathias V.

“Mathias was great! He kept us updated and sent the cutest pictures. His pug Bodhi is super sweet and got along great with our dog. We will definitely be rebooking with Mathias whenever he is available!”


17. Jamie W.


“Right from the start Jamie was very communicative and flexible. She is very kind and welcoming. When we had a change of plans Jamie was very accommodating. I know Cali had an excellent time at her home, playing in her yard with her other dogs, and with her daughters. I look forward to having a reason to use Jamie in the future :) Thank you so much!”
