“Elba takes great care of my dog. I feel comfortable leaving her there while I’m at work and/or overnight. Would recommend her to anyone needing help with their dog!”
“My dog didn’t wanna leave! Highly recommend Naha, she made sure to send pictures and updates every day. I have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu, leaving her in a dog hotel would’ve been traumatic. I had such peace of mind my entire trip knowing that Maggie was being loved at Naha’s home and had other mellow, elderly dogs by her side. It really felt like Naha and her husband loved and cared for Maggie as if she was their own. Thank you so much Naha and husband.”

Pillie & Kevin A.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Pillie as an outstanding and deeply compassionate pet caregiver. Pillie has been caring for my mom’s dog, Luna, for some time now—sometimes during the day, in the afternoons, and occasionally even for overnight stays—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love, responsibility, and professionalism she brings every single time. Luna is a sweet but sometimes anxious dog, and Pillie has a truly special way with her. She takes the time to understand Luna’s emotional needs, and it shows. Whether it’s helping Luna through one of her reverse sneeze episodes with a calm, steady presence, or simply knowing how to soothe her when she’s feeling unsettled, Pillie consistently demonstrates the kind of care that only someone who genuinely loves animals can provide. One of the things we especially appreciate is how attentive Pillie is to Luna’s health and well-being. She goes above and beyond to ensure Luna gets her necessary daily bowel movements—even adding an extra walk or opting for a longer one when needed. It’s not just about checking boxes for Pillie; it’s about truly caring for the animal in her charge. Her communication is excellent. Whether it’s a quick update text, a sweet photo of Luna on a walk, or letting us know how Luna is doing after a sleepover, Pillie always keeps us in the loop. That consistent and thoughtful communication has built a deep sense of trust and peace of mind that is truly priceless when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care. Pillie is not only reliable and professional—she’s become someone we deeply trust with Luna, and that trust was earned through her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. We’re lucky to have her in Luna’s life.”

I contacted Elba last minute for dog boarding and I’m beyond grateful I found her. She was the best person to take care of our fur babies! From the beginning, Elba treated them with love, attention, and like they were part of her family. She even hand-fed one of our dogs the first day when he wasn’t eating, let them sleep next to her, and made sure they were happy, social, and well-fed every single day. They made new furry friends and had the best time. What made it even better was how often she kept us updated — more than 5 times a day with photos and videos showing how well they were doing. That gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. We are truly blessed and thankful for Elba. Thank you for loving our dogs like your own. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care! Contacté a Elba a último momento para cuidar a nuestros perritos y no puedo estar más agradecida. ¡Fue la mejor persona para cuidar a nuestros bebés peludos! Desde el primer día los trató con tanto amor y atención, como si fueran parte de su familia. Incluso le dio de comer en la mano a uno de los perritos el primer día porque no quería comer. Durmió con ellos, los llenó de cariño y se aseguraba cada día de que estuvieran felices, bien alimentados y haciendo nuevos amiguitos. Lo que más tranquilidad nos dio fue que Elba nos enviaba actualizaciones más de 5 veces al día, con fotos y videos que mostraban lo bien que estaban. Eso no tiene precio cuando uno está lejos. Estamos realmente bendecidos y agradecidos por todo lo que hizo. Gracias Elba por tratarlos con tanto amor. ¡La recomendamos al 100%!
Daniel is very kind, caring and considerate. He took in our 16+ year old dog, who has a bit special personality, really working on getting her comfortable. We would highly recommend him and with ease leave our little dog with him many more times.
Gary was the best! I look forward to having him take care of my sweet boy again in the future! It's so good to feel confident leaving your pet with someone who really cares for our sweet baby!!!! Gary provided regular feedback and photos!! Very happy!! Thank you!!
Jaclyn is the best sitter! This was our dog Lunas second time with Jaclyn and she ran right up to her front door and was so excited to see her. We got lots of pictures and updates and could tell Luna had a great time! We will definitely use Jaclyn again for future sitting needs
Rosie seemed relaxed and happy after her stay with Lisa and family. I was happy to find a sitter who also has large dogs and a fenced in yard. We felt comfortable leaving Rosie to board for 4 days. Will definitely book again!
Janice has watched our dog twice now and she’s been great every time! Very responsive and you can definitely tell she loves animals. Our dog also loves playing with her dog Bentley!
Krystal and her family are seriously incredible!!! They took care and loved our sweet Murphy girl so well for 2 weeks. We were so grateful for all the pictures, videos and updates that were sent. They made us feel at ease knowing Murphy was having so much fun. We will absolutely be using Krystal again! :)
