“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”


“Paula provided just what we needed for our Chihuahua—a safe place to stay while we were in town for lunch. Our venue was not dog friendly, but knowing that our pup was being well cared for put our minds at ease.”


“rebecca & justin were kind, caring and attentive... my Augie felt secure and was very happy to stay in their home for playtime and then a restful sleepover... thank you rebecca & justin! xx lucy & Augie”


“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”


“We’re grateful to have found Carolyn! She takes great care of Bear. He’s found a second home w the Belmont pack :) we love seeing the pictures she takes throughout the day.”

“Lady is a funny little Cavalier who doesn't have much interest in playing with balls or toys, or even other dogs, although she is friendly to them. She mainly just likes human companionship and sitting in people's laps! This was Lady's second visit to Svitlana for Day Care, and we are very thankful for the safe and cozy, quiet environment Svitlana provides in her home and securely fenced yard.”



“Rachel is great!! She was thorough with communications. I was on a tight schedule and we decided to meet up for the drop off and pick up. She was on time and ready to go! Ziggy is still very much a puppy and has a ton of energy. He spent the day with Rachel and I could tell he had so much fun because he was happy and healthy, but completely worn out. Thanks so much to Rachel for taking great care of my pup. Highly recommend!!!”



“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. Walking my neighborhood dogs when their owners were away and having 3 dogs of my own. We currently have an Australian Shepherd who is almost 3. We e had him since he was a puppy. I currently work from home so have time to care for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard and walk our dog down the street daily. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Australian Shepherd. Our home is pet-safe. We have two cats that have their own space that dogs cannot get to in case they are not fond of each other.

About: I have had a dog since 2012 when I finished my time in an operational Navy squadron. My family has rescued several dogs (we have six now!), and I have a 9-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. I recently began fostering to help give shelter dogs a break, which led to me adopting my second pup, a year-old boxer mix. My dog is diabetic, meaning I am comfortable and able to administer injectable medication if needed, and can handle oral medication as well. I have taken care of everything from 2-month old puppies to 13-year-old senior dogs. I love them all. I work from home, so my hours are flexible. Generally will take my dog for a longer walk in the morning and after lunch, and several potty breaks throughout the day as she needs. I have a big front and side yard, but no fence. I am extremely careful with the dogs on the leash, plus always make sure that I'm aware of what our surroundings are.

“lily and i love and absolutely adore jenny! she is so attentive and i can tell lily gets all the loving when she is with jenny. she provides tons of updates (i seriously know a play by play of lily’s day with her) and is very responsive. lily always comes back SO happy and tired, it’s no question that jenny provides the best care. it’s very clear that she wants the best for your pet and will go above and beyond for them. if there is anyone you choose to watch your furry family, it definitely should be jenny!! i seriously don’t know what i would do without her!! ❤️”


“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”


“Isaiah was an a amazing sitter! We needed him last minute as we found out late about meeting a friend that was from Germany. He was very transparent when it came to how my Cali was that day and what his plans were to keep them busy. He asks all the questions and was VERY, VERY patient with us.”


About: Is your dog quirky, energetic, or prone to silly behavior? I’m a dog walker at the SPCA with varied canine care experience, and I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and sensibilities. I have open availability during the week, and I love nothing more than spending those days walking dogs! I’m always open to making something work and getting your pup the exercise that it needs. I have a quiet apartment near some great walking trails! I can crate your dog if needed and I’m able to offer a flexible potty break schedule during the day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.

About: I am a social person. I’ll work hard and take good care of your dog. I have a dog back home. I love dogs a lot. I’m free all day Friday-Sunday. I’m a former football player so I know that I’ll be dedicated to giving your dog the best care. I truly love dogs. We have a playground for the dog here at my apartment. They have treats everywhere for pets and I believe this is a great space for a dog to be.

Jayden N.
“My Brother is one of the most reliable and caring people I know. Especially when it comes to pets. We have had 4 cats over the years, and still have two now. He loves them so much! He loves taking care of them, from feeding and bathing them, be even makes sure they go to the vet and is always playing with them. He has truly treated our pets and all the animals he comes across as family. I sometimes call him the pet whisperer because they seem to be so comfortable around him! So rest assured if you hire him , the pets he has in his care will be in the best hands possible.”


Nana A.
“He is the best caregiver around my area. I always feel at ease when I leave my golden with him. He is a kind and humble person, I hope you guys are able to trust him.”
