1. Matthew P.

“This week was the first doggy daycare for my pup with Matty. It went splendidly. We met initially so we all could meet (including my dog). Dropping and picking my pup up was seamless. And the actual daycare went amazingly—we got plenty of pics and updates. Matty already knows we intend to be regular customers.”

About: I have always been part of a dog-loving household. I truly believe pampering your pet is the only way to repay them for their unconditional love. Neighbors/friends have always relied on me to walk, play and love their pets like my own. Three years ago I became a mom to the best golden retriever so I am comfortable with puppy training. I ensure that every pups experience is exactly what they need. I work long hours in an office Monday through Friday afternoon so I like dedicating my weekends entirely to my pet and yours! I am available Fridays after 5:00 PM (totally ok with late pick ups/drop offs) through Sunday nights (late night pick ups are fine with me). I live in a pet friendly building. I have a sweet golden retriever eager to be friends with your fur baby! We have a small fenced patio and a larger building patio we can access for some weekend fun. There are two dog parks nearby for some extra zoomies if you're into that! I am comfortable crating your pet if you prefer otherwise the whole apartment is their playground.


3. Timothy & Mirjam W.
“Tim has taken loving care of my adorable, perfect, spoiled labrador Shasta on at least a weekly basis for more than two years - from when he was an 8-week-old pup to an adult. Tim plays with, walks, runs, feeds and otherwise attends to Shasta, and keeps him healthy, happy, and safe! He has also cared for him overnight in his own home when I'm on vacation on nearly a dozen occassions, including incorporating Shasta into his family's Christmas celebration - and sends us photos of our happy pup each time. Tim also helped when Shasta had to go to an emergency vet visit and is attentive to any medical issues that comes up. He has a lot of experience with dogs, and it shows! My dog runs to him when we see him and often walks me to his apartment when we're out - so he co-signs this endorsement! We are *very* preoccupied with our pup, and trust him with Tim - couldn't recommend him more!”


4. Asma A.

“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”


5. Sabrina C.

“Sabrina was so great with my new rescue! She was super understanding when Lottie had an accident and sent so many wonderful updates, and I could tell that my pup really loved spending time with Sabrina and her boyfriend—Lottie is a little shy but basically immediately warmed up to them both. I would absolutely recommend her (and I am 100% sure Lottie would too).”


6. Bridgid M.

11. Alexis & Isabella S.
About: Me and my roommate both grew up with dogs and love getting to play and care for them. We love to go on walks and stay active and what better than a furry friend to join us. We live close to dog parks and have a fenced in yard in our place. Our building is dog friendly and we both miss our dogs so giving love to others will make us feel the joy we have when we are with our dogs. I work till 3:30 pm and my roommate works from home so there is always someone to keep our furry friends company. We usually like to go get our steps in and taking a furry friend is even better. We have a fenced yard and dog park nearby. We also have no toxic materials or food laying around the house. Our building is secured and we have all that is needed to take care of a furry friend.
