“Daniel was fantastic! He was incredibly welcoming and even let us bring our dog into his backyard to make the drop-off easier. The yard was a dog’s dream—beautiful, with rabbits and chickens that my dog was fascinated by. His whole family was so loving toward my dog. Daniel kept me updated throughout the stay and sent the cutest photos. I highly recommend Daniel and will definitely be booking with him again!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and my first move after getting my own place was to adopt my own dog, Phoenix. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and needs and am very eager to help with yours! I work remote full time. I also have my own dogs, Phoenix and Olivia, so I am always out walking them and taking them on different adventures. I have a decent sized inside place to play and also a fenced in backyard for dogs to run in. I try and provide as much mental and physical enrichment as possible.
“Katsumi is phenomenal. She and her family cared for our mini golden doodle so intentionally. She was wonderful and stayed in touch, sharing pictures throughout the weekend. She is caring and very experienced in watching dogs. We will definitely rely on her again.”

“Lu and his family took great care of our dog. This is the first boarding experience for our dog, who gets nervous when she is away from home. Lu was great with updates and lots of pictures. Their own dog and daughter were attentive and made our Beau feel right at home. They were also very generous with whatever Beau needed. I highly recommend Lu and his family and feel good that we found someone to take care of Beau next time we need boarding.”

“Wenxu and her husband are awesome sitters. They are very communicative, sent a lot of good pictures, flexible, and created a great environment for our dog. Would 100% recommend them!”

“Absolutely 5 stars! From the minute we met Karine and Ryan, we knew they were the right people to care for our dog while we were away. Karine completed a detailed questionnaire at the Meet and Greet which ensured that she knew all of Stanley's needs, routines, etc. When we dropped Stanley off for his stay, Karine and Ryan were friendly, confident and reassuring. Karine sent us great pictures and updates throughout our trip and really made us feel that Stanley was the top priority. When we picked Stanley up, it was obvious that he had really enjoyed his stay - while excited to see us, he was not anxious in any way. Karine and Ryan could not have been kinder to us or our dog and we look forward to having Stanley stay again with them many times!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been around dogs since I was seven years old. I raised my own Golden Retriever from puppyhood and have regularly babysat and cared for my friends’ dogs, who trust me to keep their pets safe, engaged, and happy. I strongly believe in active play, enrichment, and fun, balanced with attentive supervision. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for dogs to run, play, and socialize. I work remote full time at home and am always around. I leave my office open and have my fur friends around. I take them on long walks and of course cuddle time 🐶 I have a fenced back yard. Very safe in a cul de sac neighborhood. My Ziggy golden retriever is the perfect puppy friend for your pup!
“Carlos and wife are nice people. They Love dogs.. 🐶 they always give me an update about my dog when i am not around. Definitely will go back to them again if we need it”

About: Registered nurse and stay-at-home mom and dog lover providing a cozy home environment for your best friend. Fenced in back yard. Comfortable and very experienced at giving medications and injections. Open-home environment, your pets are invited to our entire living space and are treated as part of the family! Pets must be dog and child friendly and up-to-date on vaccines! I want your mind to feel at ease when you are away, so communication is a top priority for me. I send updates via text with pictures and videos of your pets, so you know they are same and feeling loved! I was a Pediatric ICU nurse and former school nurse in my town, who transitioned to remote health care. I am home 24/7 with the animals (unless quickly running to pick up a child from school or quick stop at the supermarket). I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs (Rusty is a 3-year-old Cavapoo and Ollie is a 2-year-old Aussiedoodle) to keep your pup company. As the community school nurse for years, I have a trusted reputation in our community. Families felt safe having me care for their children, and now I care for many of their pets! Plenty of local references upon request!
“This was our first experience with leaving Scar with anyone other than family and need to say that it was a very good experience. Thank you for the video and pictures to keep up at ease. Will definitely use them again.”

I handle feeding schedules, medication, and special routines with care. I keep a clean home, I give daily walks, and I make sure your dog feels safe and relaxed.

“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”

“Teddy seemed to really enjoy his stay with Alissa. He looked happy in the pictures that she sent us and he came back home not mad at us for leaving him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of teddy!”

“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”


“Lisa was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our cat, Woody. He has never been away from home before, and I was really nervous — but both Lisa and her dog, Gullu, were so gentle and comforting with him. I was genuinely surprised by how relaxed and at ease he seemed around them. Lisa sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and was super flexible with our schedule. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”

“Judy took great care of my dog and kept me posted with regular updates. Communication was smooth and easy and she was flexible with timings, which really helped me!”

“Rebecca and Angel were great with my dog. They sent lots of pictures and updates. They made me feel comfortable leaving him for 10 days. I would highly recommend them!”

Olivia was absolutely amazing with our dog Lacey while we were away for a few days. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt confident that Lacey was in caring, capable hands. Olivia clearly has a genuine love for animals—she sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos, and it was obvious that Lacey felt comfortable and happy with her. Communication was clear and consistent, and we never once had to worry. It’s such a comfort knowing that when we can’t be with our pets, there are incredible people like Olivia who care for them like their own. Truly a five-star experience—we’re so grateful!

We couldn’t be happier with Ashley! She watched our dog for the past two days while we were away, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met her, it was clear how sweet and caring she is. She treated our pup like her own and made sure we felt at ease the entire time by sending updates and the cutest pictures. Her communication is stellar—prompt, thoughtful, and always reassuring. We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave our dog and would recommend her without hesitation. She’s a gem!
