We had Dobby stayed with Jessica and her husband for 10 days. They really made sure Dobby took his time to get comfortable at their home, and he did! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Dobby was in good hands! We are very grateful to have Jessica around. She is our go-to and trusted person now when it comes to boarding for Dobby. Thank you Jessica!

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.

Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!

We had Cookie with Melanie for a week during our winter break and she was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated seeing while being away! Also when our picky eater refused to eat her kibbles (we usually mix her food with meat but didn’t send it in for logistical reasons), Melanie shared her concerns and asked if there’s something she likes and made chicken, just for her! Thank you for taking care of our four legged child!

I had such a great experience with Ming, her husband, and two lovely dogs. As the first time working with Ming, I wondered if my dog would work well with them or they would be happy with my dog, Oliver. After more than 10 days of boarding Oliver with Ming, I realized that I sent Oliver to a sort of luxurious doggy retreat. Oliver came back more energetic and cuddly showing signs that he was truly loved by Ming and her family members. Ming has a lovely backyard as well as a private bedroom for a dog, and a small doggy tent where your dog can rest. For a second, I thought Oliver might want to stay longer with them!! I would highly recommend Ming to anyone who would need to board a dog!!

About: With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

I had an amazing experience with Akshay. He took excellent care of my dog, Bagheera, and treated him like family from day one. Akshay made sure Bagheera got his daily walks, meals right on time, and plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how he asked questions in the beginning whenever needed—showing how responsible and attentive he is. He also sent daily updates, photos, and little notes about Bagheera’s mood and activities, which kept me completely relaxed while I was away. Another lovely part was Akshay’s dog, Sirius. Bagheera and Sirius became instant buddies! They played, relaxed, explored together, and honestly, it feels like Bagheera came back home with a new brother. Overall, Akshay is reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy Person. Your pet will be in wonderful hands!

I can't recommend Chanel enough! She was so professional, caring, and prompt with her responses while we were away for a week. I am an anxious pet mom... but she listened to all of my care instructions and he was very well cared for. He also got along well with Chanel's pups. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Bear in her care in the future. Thank you, Chanel!!

Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️

Jose was absolutely amazing with my boys. Big highlight that he sent up to 10 photos a day, and kept in constant contact. It definitely made my trip less stressful knowing that they were taken care of. We dropped off the boys knowing one of them had an upset stomach, but Jose navigated it perfectly, and managed to get him back to tip top shape. In the end Jose was great with communicating about pick up so it was a very quick process. My boys came home happy and tired, which was great! I highly recommend having your fur babies stay with Jose

Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.
