“Jackie was treated with love and attention—the tail wags said it all! Everything was clean, and well-organized, and felt like a second home for my pup. I’m so grateful and will definitely be coming back. Thank you Jackie! Highly recommend!”
3. Bark Blvd
“Nadia was SUPER helpful and you could tell how genuine she was. My dog is usually not liked by daycares because of his silliness but Bark Blvd is one of the only daycares who loves him and he came home absolutely KNACKERED after his first day. We could tell he was so happy to be there.”
4. Paulina G.
“Paulina and her family did a great job with our pug! This was the first time we used the app to find a dog sitter, but this was a great experience. Paulina sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog all day and I could tell my dog was having lots of fun. Lots of tail wags. She has a nice yard too for dogs. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”

“Venus and Keaton were AMAZING! Monte is a 5 month old puppy, so he has a lot of energy, but they took great care of him for the week. Every time we walked up to the door, Monte's tail would not stop wagging. They really made Monte feel at home!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: Experienced petsitter owner of a lovely French bulldog. She is so nice and I think I did a great job in training her. I also had cats in my life. I am experienced with all sorts of pet caring. I like to play with them. I know how to bath them, cut nails... I like to study behavior of dogs, and I try to make them happy and relaxed. It is a pleasure for both parties, me and pets. I can cook as well for dogs but I charge that extra, so they can have a warm tasty meal. They will enjoy my pet sitting I can assure you because I love animals and owned ! ! ! I work part time so this suits me very well I am attentive and caring. Dog doesnt live with me since I moved but I need companions so thats why I started this I have a fenced yard , I am atentive, I am honest and I love dogs and cats. I am looking to share my time with them because it fulfills me
