“Wenxin took such good care of my dog Smiley, she showered Smiley with love, care, and patience. Smiley really enjoyed every minute. Strongly recommend Wenxin for anyone who needs help with their dog.”


“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”


“My doodle Maya boarded with Jifu and Jessica for 12 days over the 4th of July. They updated me with pictures which was what I needed while away from my dog. They took good care of my dog. I like the fact that they also have a dog that was a good companion for my Maya. I would definitely use their services again for future boarding.”


About: Hello Neighbors! 🐶🐱 I am 100% WFH and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and attuned to animals' unique needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Whether it’s providing enrichment activities, administering medication, or simply giving endless cuddles, I’m here to treat your pets like they’re my own. My focus is on creating a stress-free experience for both you and your furry family! I am home full time and work part time (fully remote) which gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated care for your pets. I have plenty of time throughout the day for play, walks, and snuggles, and I can adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs. As your sitter and neighbor, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of cozy spaces for your pets to relax. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from meals to walks, and always keep a watchful eye to ensure their safety. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and follow your guidelines to maintain your pet’s comfort and well-being. I communicate regularly to keep you updated, so you always know your furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my focus.

“Emma was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog, Olive! She was flexible, communicative, and accommodating. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing my dog was in good care. Emma sent daily status updates on how Olive was doing and sent plenty of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. Thanks so much, Emma!”


“Kevin and Sarah sent me so many updates and beautiful pictures of Kylo while we were away. Kylo was scared at first to be separated and they were so good about keeping me updated on how he was doing. I’d definitely recommend them!”


“Our dog, Stan, does not easily warm up to people outside our family. We adopted him when he was 8 weeks old, and while he is well-socialized with other dogs, he remains very timid around new people. Before boarding Stan with Kimmy and Jesse, we had used the same sitter on two separate occasions, each for a week. During those stays, Stan always hid under her coffee table and never let her get close to him. However, with Kimmy and Jesse, the experience was completely different. On day four, Kimmy sent us pictures of herself petting Stan—a huge milestone for him. By day five, she was even able to take him on a walk around the neighborhood. Day by day, Stan grew more comfortable in their care. Seeing our timid dog so well cared for made us incredibly happy! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring couple or a more loving environment to board Stan. We are so grateful and look forward to boarding him with them on our upcoming spring break!”


“Our favorite Rover dog-sitters moved, but they recommended a new family that took excellent care of our two small pups while we were away. MinJun & Mi Ran P. had a lovely home with a fenced in patio that was very safe and comfortable for our dogs. They were able to feed two finicky eaters, take them for walks, and share many photos and videos of our dogs while we were away, so we knew what they were doing. The bonus was another dog was also boarding and our younger pup had so much fun playing that she is still tired today! Will 100% choose MinJun & Mi Ran for boarding again next time we need it.”


“Manli is incredibly kind and truly cared for our dog. She took him on long walks and gave him so much love and attention. He seemed really happy and content when we picked him up. We’re so grateful!!”


“Ahmyah was amazing with Leni, was a great communicator, and was incredibly flexible accommodating our needs when we had to extend Leni's stay with her by an extra day at the last minute. We would absolutely use her as a dogsitter again!”



“Paula is a wonderful dog sitter! We have a small 15lb Coton DeTulear and she has stayed with Paula 3-times for a week or longer. Each time, Paula has gone out of her way to make sure that our little girl is well cared for and that she is happy, fed, and gets exercise. Our dog is a picky eater and each time, Paula knows exactly what to do to get her to eat. I would recommend Paula to anyone who is looking for a experienced dog sitter and boarder.”


“Jennifer took great care of Willis, he had lots of fun with other dogs, walks to the park and play time. Looks like he got lots of attention which of course he loves! Thanks Jennifer!”


“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”


“Keira had a fantastic stay with Margaret and her pack! I was nervous to leave our 4mo German Shepherd pup with someone so soon after getting her, and for 10 days to boot. Margaret made me feel confident that she had it covered and Keira integrated nicely into their pack. I appreciate that Margaret had a consistent schedule, providing structure for Keira, and I received a steady stream of fun updates--photos, videos, anecdotes--that made me smile and put me at ease. I love that Keira became close with one of her dogs, Ranger, and I felt very good about her getting consistent socialization at her young age. Keira came back having learned the 'down' command, jumping up less frequently, and being more disciplined than when we left her. Such a relief to have a dependable dog guru available to care for her. Super grateful to Margaret and excited to be able to book her again for stays in the future.”


“Jessica had great communication with me, sending updates with great pictures. She asked good questions before boarding and was very accommodating. She also made sure to give my active dog lots of exercise. I would not hesitate to book her again.”


“Darya boarded my dachshund, Millie, and my cat, Theo, for 4 nights while I was out of town. She sent photo updates and kept me in the loop with any concerns. My pets seem to have been well taken care of! Would recommend!”


“Our little Charlie loved spending 3 days with Mitshella. She followed all of my directions perfectly and asked great questions. She walked and played with him and treated him with care. She sent tons of pictures and videos throughout his stay and we could tell he was having a blast. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Michael is amazing with my fur baby! She had an adventure during spring break at his home. I got lots of pictures and was very pleased with the care taken for my baby. Thank you, Michael and family!”


“My 9lb dachshund loves to stay over at Cesar's house. She was happy and in a great mood after coming back. I could tell that she had been well taken care of the whole time. Our family enjoy the amazing pics that Cesar sends us. Thank you!”


“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
