Kerry is clearly a true dog lover. She took such excellent care of our senior girl Winnie while we were out of town! Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!

Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.

We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!

Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!

Ginger was the best! She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times as my schedule was a little up in the air. She took Puddle for an hour walk and sent fun pictures and updates throughout the visit. I 100% recommend Ginger!

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.

Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!

I can't say enough nice things about Renee! This was my first time leaving Billie with a sitter and she made it such an awesome experience. She asked great questions to get to know Billie's needs and preferences and sent cute updates, even! What a huge difference from a kennel. Billie would be stressed and upset and wanted to be held when I would take her there, but when I picked up Billie from Renee's she seemed really happy!! Renee is a lovely person and a great sitter!

This was our second time boarding with Emma. She was fantastic caring for my dog for 3 weeks across two boards. The first time I had to pivot after another sitter canceled last minute and she was flexible for a meet-and-greet before my dog’s stay. My dog was so happy to see Emma again! Emma communicated promptly, is incredibly sweet and keeps me at ease with regular updates, photos and thoughtful questions. We can’t wait to board with her next!
