“Anika was absolutely amazing. The care and concern provided for my baby was out of this world. Mocha thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled and having a ball with everyone in the home. I was really appreciative of Anika's consistent communication and check ins. The photos and videos were the highlight of my day while I was away. I don't trust my baby with many, but my heart was completely at ease while she was in Anika's care. Ever grateful. We will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you 💕”

“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her husband. She had a backyard to play in, a porch to sit on, and someone to play ball with her. She came back happy and tired. Denise sent plenty of pictures, and responded quickly when setting up the stay. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”


“I needed a sitter for my dog as I was going away for the week. I’m glad they popped up on my search! Bobbi and Brian are amazing. They treated Whiskey like he was their own, kept in communication with me and reassured me he was in good hands. They sent pictures every day and throughout the day and asked questions which I appreciated. I will definitely use them again whenever I head out of town. Thank you both so much!!!”

“Tanita & Terrence we’re awesome!! Our regular boarders were full, and we were headed to out of town to celebrate our wedding anniversary. What an amazing gift this couple was for us and our dog, Buddy! He had the best time ever, and we got plenty of picture updates showing how well he was getting along with their pets! Even when we first arrived to drop Buddy off, he was instantly running around in the backyard playing and totally forgot about us…lol!!! It was evident that he enjoyed his stay and that their home was place filled with love! We will definitely use their services again, and highly recommend that anyone who reads this review does the same!!! Thank you both so much for taking care of our puppy son!!”

“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Liz was wonderful with my dog over the weekend, providing attentive care and updates. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Would definitely trust her again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”

“Monica was very attentive and patient with questions I had and with Marley in her care! You can tell that she is a very caring pet mom. I received pictures and a detail daily report of Marley’s stay and activities. I was comfortable with leaving Marley with Monica and his new playmates.”

“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”

“We have nothing but good things to say about Lilian’s care of our older dog! He always comes come happy, well cared for, and tired from all of the play. She sends daily updates, is responsive to questions, and has been quite flexible with our crazy vacation scheduling. Would highly recommend!!!”

“LaTasha has watched our 3 month old puppy twice already and had taken wonderful care of him. She is accommodating to our schedule adjustments and always provides feedback on his well being. We will definitely continue to use her boarding services.”

“I’m so thankful for the care that Yiqiuxi and Nick took for my baby girl. Although she was nervous, they did the best they could to make her feel at ease and kept me updated on how she was doing the whole time they cared for her. Thank you and I look forward to a continued relationship with you and my baby girl.”

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!
