“Elaine provided excellent care for Reilly plus she was so accommodating and helpful. She was flexible with pickup hours which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend”

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”

“Nancy was a great host! Riley was well taken care of including daily walks and administering her eye drop medication nightly. Her prescription food was kept separate from the other dogs. We received daily updates with cute pics. Would highly recommend Nancy!”

“Our dog had a great time with the family. Michelle & Mike took time to let us meet the family ahead of time including their daughter and their dog Trixie. They are a very friendly family with a nice fenced yard. It is the first boarding experience for our dog and us. They sent us many nice pictures, videos and messages to let us know our little puppy was doing well. They took extra time to feed our dog since she is a picky eater. We strongly recommend boarding your dog with them.”


“Nancy and John do a wonderful job with my pups. Two maltipoo's 11 and 12 and it has become their second home. They're so comfortable there. I have no doubts or worries when I drop them off because I know they are treated as if they were their own. We've already used them three times and already have 3 more reservations booked. Mandi and Rocco are very happy there.”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

“Liliya and her family continue to take great care of our girl Luna so we can be confident when we travel! She is very communicative, accommodating, and sends lots of photos. Thank you Liliya!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities, I know how important it is to feel confident your furry family member is in good hands. With me—and the help of my girls, who love dogs just as much as I do—your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We can provide walks around the property, keeping them active and happy during their stay. I work part-time nearby, so I can stop in hourly if needed, or work from home to ensure they’re never alone for long. Plus, you’ll receive daily updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is safe, loved, and well cared for. With help from my girls, your pup will get plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I work nearby or from home, so they’re never alone for long—and you’ll receive daily updates for peace of mind. I have an unfenced yard, but this has never been an issue when caring for other dogs, as they are always supervised. I also have a friendly dog to keep yours company. With 3 acres of property and a walking path nearby, your pup will have plenty of safe space to explore and enjoy daily walks
“I had my 3 year old toy poodle stay with Sandra for a weekend so that I could get away for a weekend with my girlfriend. I was a little nervous about leaving him, because he has separation anxiety and had only spent 2 nights away from me in the last 2 years. Sandra did a great job caring for my pup, and I trust her completely with my dog! She followed all directions I left her to a ‘T’, and I really appreciated her excellent communication with me about him, as it was very reassuring. She made every effort to make him as comfortable as possible during the stay, and I would 100% recommend her as a petsitter! She is a kind woman who loves dogs and takes great pride in caring for them. Sandra gets an A++ rating from me!”

“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”

“Mary was great with our dog. She handled her anxiety so well and was thoughtful and caring. She also sent us a picture each day to let us know she was doing well. Mary’s backyard is large and fenced and gave our dog plenty of room to explore. Mary handled our dog’s feeding issues as well as her daily medications. We will definitely be using Mary again to watch our dog!”
About: First timers use code: MICHEA13153 Lifelong pet owner and animal lover. Compassionate and absolutely pawsitive! Highly organize and reliable. Belief of pets as animal companions and family. I have been involved in canine care since I was 12, when I met my first furriest friend - Reilly the lovable yellow lab. Reilly has taught me many things at a young age...the unconditional love, the care needed to make sure she lives her best life, the ups and downs of pet ownership. It is a huge responsibility to care for another living being. Now I have my own pup, Layla, since 2019 - from whom I gain skills in basic dog training from puppy-hood, early socialization, eyeful watch for shifts in canine behaviors, the walks, responsibilities, you name it. History of friends and family relying on me to watch over their fur babies. I was THE person they would think of. In addition to canine care, I have experience in the care for guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, turtles, small lizards, etc. I currently work full-time in a laboratory for human diagnostic testing. I will be available to play and care for your furry friend in the after hours, possibly before hours, of work. Weekdays off are also a possibility. My partner is WFH and he will assist in providing care for your fur babies as well. I am currently living in an apartment with large areas of grass and walkways for walks. My own dog loves other furry friends and is socialized from puppyhood to be friendly to others. Due to the fact that I don't have a yard, your pup and I will spend our outdoor time on walks, hikes, and other outings that will allow dogs. Should your buddy require crating, that can be provided (though foldable crates must be provided should it be in my home) I have a watchful eye as I've experienced pets have their own instinctual drives and personalities. I would appreciate it if your own pet's needs be documented on paper for my own reference, as they all have individual needs and owner preferences.

“Anastasia is amazing! She loves dogs. We never have to worry about the care of our dog when we are away. Anastasia pet sits full time so she gives 100% attention to the dogs. Koda loves visiting Anastasia. We highly recommend booking with her.”


“Sydney took such great care of our dog. She was understanding of the dog’s needs and ours to make our vacation easy. She made sure there was harmony for everyone in her home, pampered our dog more than we do at home, sent us pup updates (“pupdates”, lol) so we could see her experience. Would recommend Sydney’s pup sitting. We will again.”

“My dog had a great time with Kira and her family and I highly recommend dog boarding here. Leo warmed up to them fast and it was very reassuring with the great communication Kira had with me plus nice pictures of my dog’s experience there. Leo came home happy and excited he made so many dog and people friends!”


“I can’t believe I haven’t left a review yet. Sara is the absolute best. Her knowledge of dogs and dog behavior is tops. My quirky rescue adores her and so do we. Sara’s a pro.”

“Teddy and Penny had a great stay with Mliss and her family! They were both well taken care of and seemed very comfortable in her home. The daily picture updates were much appreciated and showed what a good time our pups were having!”

Michelle A.
“I've known Michelle for 2 years, and one of the most prominent traits I associate her with, is a love for animals. I can confidently say that she is an ideal dog sitter. She is one of the most responsible, caring, and trustworthy individuals I know. I have trusted her with caring for my dog Charlie while I was on vacation on two separate occasions. Charlie is a very anxious dog and doesn't always feel comfortable around strangers. With Michelle, this was not an issue. She made sure that he was happy and comfortable. She followed directions accurately and gave Charlie all the attention, exercise and love he needed to feel safe. I have never seen Charlie get more excited than when Michelle comes to visit. She has a true passion for animals and the reliability needed to ensure any dog is safe and happy in her care.”
