“Many thanks to Carolyn for giving me back a happy, tired dog. Great location, felt very safe for drop-off and walks, and is near a dog park! I look forward to having Carolyn watch my dog again!”

“This is my first time using dog daycare. Daniela did an amazing job and let me feel at ease. She was so kind and loving with my puppy. My puppy had a good time with her. She was a quick communicator during the initial booking and greeting process, and sent lots of videos and pictures for update during my puppy’s stay. I definitely will use her services again. Highly recommended!”

“Ya-Han was amazing with Snowy! I loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures, which reassured me that Snowy was having a fantastic time. It’s clear that Ya-Han genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet daycare provider, and I’m looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Cassandra has been absolutely wonderful with Gurley. She clearly cares deeply about the dogs in her care and treats Gurley like one of her own. She takes her on fun adventures with her dogs, Bam Bam and Pilot, and Gurley always comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired. It is obvious she is having the best time. Cassandra is also incredibly responsive and communicative. She sends great photos and videos so I can see Gurley enjoying herself, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I always feel confident that Gurley is safe, well cared for, and genuinely loved. I would highly recommend Cassandra for dog walking, daycare, or any of her services. She is a true dog person and an exceptional caregiver.”

About: I've cared for and loved dogs (and cats) for my entire life (and I'm old enough to get senior discounts!). From giant breeds to tiny mixes, I have a seventh sense for how your pup best interacts with the world. Shy dogs, reactive dogs, energetic dogs and all in between are welcome and will be thoughtfully cared for. I'm at home full-time and can give your pup the attention it deserves 24/7. I live within 5 minutes of 2 parks, one on the lake if that's what your dog likes. Fully fenced, large backyard that dogs can access all day. Live with a VERY sweet, even-tempered 2 year-old female St Bernese (Bernese/St. Bernard) and an outdoor kitty. Pups will have unrestricted use of the house. Most importantly, I care and will work with you to give your pup the most comfortable homestay possible.
“Greatly appreciated Laila's photos, feedback, & the care she provided for Numá during his stay. I feel confident in recommending her service & will definitely use it again when the need arises. Thanks again for your kind assistance!”

“I truly appreciate Xinya’s care for my boy Obi. They sent me many photos, took care of feeding on time, and overall I can see he had a good time and a fun walk. Thank you!”

About: Constant Companionship & Peace of Mind As a full-time remote professional (WFH), your pet will never feel lonely at my home. I am here 24/7 to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and, most importantly, all the cuddles they deserve. Unlike sitters who work out of the home, I can adapt my schedule entirely to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and settled. Expertise in Specialized Care What truly sets me apart is my experience with high-need pets. I personally raised one of my resident cats from just 2 weeks old—a journey that required immense patience, around-the-clock bottle feeding, and meticulous care. This experience has made me exceptionally attentive to subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, making me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or pets who need a little extra TLC. Lifelong Small Breed Lover Before becoming a cat mom to my two sweet residents, I grew up with a Teddy Dog and a Yorkshire Terrier. I understand the spirited personalities and specific safety needs of small breeds. Living in a cozy townhouse, I specialize in creating a calm, indoor sanctuary supplemented by quality morning and evening walks to keep them active and happy. A Natural Connection I’ve been called an "animal magnet" since I was a child. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and respect each pet's unique boundaries. Your furry family member will be treated exactly like my own—with unconditional love and professional responsibility. Full-Time Care & Attention As a dedicated pet parent to two cats, my life already revolves around animal care. My WFH status allows me to offer constant supervision and a flexible schedule tailored to your pet's needs. Since I live in a townhouse without a yard, I prioritize quality outdoor time with dedicated morning and evening walks. During the work day, your pet will enjoy a calm, climate-controlled environment with me right by their side. Whether they need a quick play session between my meetings or a quiet spot to nap, I am here to ensure they are happy and comfortable 24/7. Every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My first priority is to mirror the routine they are used to at home to minimize stress. Whether it’s a specific feeding time, a favorite toy, or a particular way they like to be scratched, I follow your instructions to the letter. When Staying in My Home (Boarding/Daycare): Constant Supervision: Since I work from home, your pet will be in the same room as me most of the day. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Safety & Integration: With two resident cats, I am an expert at slow, safe introductions. If your pet prefers their own space, my townhouse allows for easy separation to ensure everyone feels secure and relaxed. Active Outdoors: Since I don't have a yard, I prioritize quality time outside. We will go on at least two dedicated walks (morning and evening) and frequent quick potty breaks to keep them stimulated and happy. Cat-Specific Care: For cat guests, I provide meticulous litter box maintenance and plenty of interactive play with wand toys and feathers. When Visiting Your Home (Drop-ins/House Sitting): Home Security & Tidiness: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked, mail is brought in if needed, and the space remains exactly as you left it. Quality One-on-One Time: I don’t just "fill the bowl." I spend the entire duration of the visit engaging with your pet, providing companionship, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. Detailed Updates: I am a big communicator! You can expect frequent photo and video updates of our adventures, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.

About: I have two rescue dogs Jasper and Phaedra. They are both terrier mixes and are both ~20lbs. Before I tell you about how they are now, let me tell you about them when we first rescued them. Jasper had a history of abuse and was quite aggressive with new people coming to the house. We worked carefully with a trainer and greatly improved his apprehension towards strangers. He's very good with other dogs. When we rescued Phaedra, her nickname was Bumpy due to the sever dermatitis she was suffering from. I spent a lot of time applying medicated shampoo, administering oral medicines, and conducted an elimination diet to pin point her food allergies. She is a sweetheart with so much love to give. I've had Jasper for 11 years and he is a very healthy 13yo dog. He gets along well with other dogs and is very playful We have had Phaedra for 8 years and she is very healthy but we do manage a few prescriptions for some of her chronic conditions. I'll be home on a regular basis when caring for your dog. I have a futon in the room I'm usually in that the dogs can hang out on while I am in my room. But they will also have free roam of the rest of the house. In addition, there is a fully fenced backyard with a dog door. You doggo will also have free access to the secured gated yard I have a lot of love and patience for dogs. I will follow your care instructions to the letter. Your dog will be part of our pack, and receive affection from myself, Jasper, and Phaedra. In case of emergencies: I am a two minute walk from my veterinary office (Four Paws) and a 25 minute drive to Blue Pearl's 24 hour care center. But let's please discuss if you have another care provider you want me to use in case of emergency I'm happy to discuss any special requests I work from home and will be home most of if not all of the day. If I leave the house, it will be for 2 hours at most. In my home your dog is part of the pack. They will receive scratches, get playtime, and have access to a securely fenced and locked backyard. Your dog will be under my constant supervision, if i haven't seen them in a bit I'll be off to see what they're up to. If I leave the house, I usually like to crate or contain in a room w/bed for safety.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since childhood. Growing up in my home country, my family owned a home where my parents encouraged us to learn how to care for animals. I developed a deep love for all kinds of furry friends and gained hands-on experience in their daily care. While pursuing my degree in the medical field, I also learned how to provide specific medical treatments for pets. I believe that as humans, we have a responsibility to care for and protect other living creatures. I’ve even cared for stray animals, making sure they felt loved and safe. When your furry family member stays with me, I’ll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved—so much so that they might not even notice you’re away. My goal is to make your absence feel short and sweet for them) Because of a family situation, I’m unable to work full-time in the office, which makes my schedule flexible and ideal for side jobs, so I am looking for opportunities! I mostly travel to owners home, and do either walk/ drop in visited/ or staying over night with client’s pet, which might be the best environment for pets as it’s their territory and they feel much safer to be there!
“Huong and Andrew are very communicative and take great care of my dog. Always on time and sends updates and photos through the day. My dog is always tired and happy after spending the day with her!”

“Coco and I are so grateful to have found Rose!! Rose has been so gentle and sweet with Coco, embracing her into her home and family instantly, and meeting Coco where she's at. Rose is very communicative, flexible, and compassionate. Any dog will be lucky to be in her care.”
“Michelle was wonderful. We scheduled a meet and greet prior our first day. Albert and our puppy became instant bff. Throughout the day Michelle would send updates, photos and videos. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back.”

Dani was super sweet, our sitter had backed out last minute and we were scrambling to find a replacement. I contacted her and she responded to messgae super fast. My boy apparently had the time of his life because as soon as he got into the car he passed out lol. I would definitely use Dani again!

Our puppy Stella had a wonderful day with Conner, Erica and lil Teddy and I especially appreciated the updates and great communication throughout the day. Glad we found an amazing sitter close to our home and will be using them again for sure. Loved that Stella got to go around and walk at different parks too. She had a blast and was pleasantly tired when we got home . Highly recommend Conner and Erica 👍
