They are just beyond amazing people who truly care and love dogs. Our dogs had amazing time with them, we can tell! There is no enough words to describe how beautiful people they are.

Our Luna girl stayed with Adam and Julie for over a week and this was herfirst stay with them. We did do a meet and greet a couple months before the actual stay so we had an idea if Luna liked Adam and Julie. Luna is normally a fairly reactive young puppy like adolescent with frequent barking and lungeing at people and dogs that distress her which can be many people and dogs. We went to their home for the meet and greet and Luna was fairly comfortable with Adam and Julie right off the bat. That was definitely a good sign. Two months later and Luna now 2 months older and more mellow has her stay with Adam and Julie. We picked Luna up after our trip and she was happy, playful, and reacted like she had a good stay. Julie and Adam gave us a full report and it seems everything went well. We got a daily picture of Luna sent via text which made us very happy to connect with her. Thanks to Adam and Julie for taking good care of our girl while we were on vacation.

Cuscuz loves to stay at Catia’s place. Catia is very patience, organized and caring. She follows the instructions to care for him and gives him lots of attention.

We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾

We had Juli take care of our dog Sunshine for two weeks recently. We called it “summer camp” for Sunshine. It allowed us to go on several day trips and an overnight trip without worrying about our dog. She was very responsive and responsible and took great care of Sunshine. Sunshine was well exercised and given social opportunities. We had a meet and greet that included a tour of the house/yard before the 2 week stay that helped Sunshine transition to the new environment. I highly recommend Juli. Sunshine got along fine with her dog Gigi as well. :-)

Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!

Nathan took wonderful care of our beloved dog Chase. Nathan was responsible and responsive, taking Chase on the many walks he loves and getting back to me quickly when I had questions. Chase also seems to have had a blast hanging out with Nathan’s other pets, especially his cat which was a surprise since Chase isn’t usually a big fan of felines. 🤪 I highly recommend Nathan if you’re looking for a kind, gentle attentive pet-sitter

Barley’s stay for nearly 1 week with Radha appears to have been wonderful. Radha sent many photos of their time together relieving any concerns I may have had before leaving him in her care. He didn’t seem anxious to leave her home when I arrived to pick him up, which I had thought he might. Radha had all his toys and bed and food organized for me to take away. I will certainly call upon Radha to care for Barley again!

Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!

Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.

Karen and Hisako did a great job with Assata, our reactive dog. She stayed with them and got long walks, plenty of stimulation in their yard, and lots of affection. Karen sent us pics of Assata and Assata seemed really comfortable with them.

About: Hi there! My preferred name is Luna 🌼 (Legal name Alisha) - please use Luna. 💖 Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. 🐾 As both a devoted dog parent and a healing professional, I approach pet sitting and dog walking with deep attentiveness, patience, and genuine love. Whether it’s a long walk for an energetic pup, gentle Reiki comfort for an older companion, or making sure your furry family member feels safe and nurtured while you’re away — I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (puppies, seniors, rescues, and special-needs pets) and know how important it is to keep routines consistent while giving extra affection. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is in safe, capable hands. For Boarding - I have a whole dedicated Pet Studio (the size of a studio apartment) for the pets to enjoy toys, infrared light, and comfy beds. The photo of the red room will be their cozy home. 🏠 What Sets Me Apart: • Trauma-informed, intuitive care for animals with anxiety or special needs • Holistic background (Doctorate in Integrative Medicine & Reiki training) to create calm, healing environments •Reliable, professional, and flexible scheduling • Respect for your home, routines, and your pet’s unique quirks Your furry loved ones are family, and I treat them as such. 💛 I can’t wait to meet your pup, share some joy on our walks, and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently in the start up phase of my Therapeutic Reiki Petcare services and so my availability is more open momentarily as my pet community continues to grow. Please inquire for better rates 💫 When pets come into my home, they become part of my family. 💛 My space is warm, calm, and filled with natural light, plants, and gentle energy — designed to feel safe and soothing for both humans and animals. Your dog will be welcomed into a structured but loving routine that balances play, exercise, and rest: • Daily walks & outdoor time to explore, stretch, and release energy (tailored to your pet’s age and comfort). • Playtime enrichment with toys, training games, and gentle redirection to keep their minds sharp. • Healing comfort through calm touch, Reiki, and intuitive care — especially for pets with anxiety, senior needs, or sensitive temperaments. • Holistic wellness environment: I use natural cleaning products, filtered water, and a pet-friendly, chemical-free home. • Companionship & snuggles (if your pet is the cuddly type!) so they never feel alone. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality. Some thrive on constant play, others need quiet reassurance — I tune into that rhythm. Pets in my care are never just “watched”; they’re nurtured, respected, and loved like they’re my own. What sets me apart: ✨ Trauma-informed approach for pets who may be shy, reactive, or have past challenges. ✨ Reiki & integrative healing background to bring calm to high-energy or anxious animals. ✨ Years of experience balancing structure and freedom — your pet will have consistency while also enjoying joy-filled moments. ✨ A compassionate, professional sitter you can trust to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. Your dog’s stay with me will feel like a retreat: safe, joyful, and full of love. 🌻🐕🐾

Jonah is incredible! Actually made my dog a part of his family. I’ve boarded at other places only to see how depressed he was. With Jonah it was 100% opposite, my dog was super happy to be with him. I think it’s rare when a someone treats your dog as well as you do. Thank you Jonah! We love you and your family…I know I speak for my dog Woody too! I hope he post one of the daily photos he sent me.
