Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“My anxious dog fisher is always calm after hanging out with Annie! She’s very communicative and has been a helpful support as fisher adjusts to our new city”


“Erin is absolutely incredible. Within the first ten minutes of meeting, she and my dog (Maya) were best friends. I booked with her during a super hot week and she did a great job at keeping Maya both cool and entertained. Maya had a bit of an upset tummy that week and Erin was on top of everything, keeping me up to date with how Maya was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to keep Maya company. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Our dog enjoyed being with Ling( as we picked her up she rubbed against her and friend). Ling sent photographs and a video of a walk, which was nice.”

“Lauren provides outstanding care for my dog, Phoebe, during daycare. I love receiving regular updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. When I pick Phoebe up, she’s always happy and relaxed, and now she gets excited when we arrive for drop-off. I rely on Lauren’s daycare services weekly and will definitely be booking Phoebe for overnight boarding when I go away. Highly recommend – 5 stars!”


“Teresa was great and Toby had a fun (and exhausting) day - which was wonderful for him and his mom. He enjoyed going for walks and playing with Teresa.”


“Tiffany and Will were great hosts for our dog’s first day at doggy daycare with them! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt confident that they would provide a safe, fun, and loving environment. Our dog had an incredible time, enjoying a variety of toys in their home and getting plenty of exercise with walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Tiffany and Will’s provided consistent communication throughout the day by providing updates and videos/photos, letting us know how our dog was settling in and having fun. We truly appreciate their care and attention to detail, and we’re excited for more doggy daycare days in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have watched many of my friends dogs for long periods of time and I love dogs. I play with them and make sure they are taken care of. I also have an 80 lbs dog named Charlie who is a gentle giant! He loves other dogs and is very friendly. (His best friend is a 7lbs dog!) I work from home so have plenty of time to take care of the dog during the day! Most of my meetings are in the morning and then my afternoons are free. Sometimes I go to the gym but if I watch your dog I’ll be home! I have an outside patio on the 2nd level. I have our 80 lbs dog Charlie but he is very friendly. I have several rooms in my house and can always put Charlie in a separate room if there are any issues.

“Eleni was great! Quick to respond, lots of great photos, and extremely flexible with timing. I really appreciate her, and my dog seemed to have lots of fun!”


“Really appreciate Anastasia helping to dog sit Luna these past two days! As with our last stay, Luna had a great time. She had her exercise and her lounge/nap time on the balcony. She even got to go on a berry picking adventure! We should definitely book again!”


“Benzo had so much fun playing with Nico! Raquel made sure to send several photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to take Benzo home knowing how much fun he was having at his new friends’ home.”

About: UPDATE: 6.15: Due to some short term changes, we are now taking dogs for day stays during the week in our home until September 12th! walks, play time and sunshine naps! Hello! We have absolutely loved getting to meet and care for furry friends and their parents! Its been such a joy sharing our home and love for the dogs that mean so much to us! Unfortunately at this time our professional careers have taken a different path and we are no longer able to book regular stays. Current clients can reach out and we will evaluate on a case by case basis. Thank you for your trust, it has meant so much to us! MUST LOVE DOGS! We are a newly married couple with 2 mini bernedoodles Otis(4) and Olive(2). We love dogs in this house and are looking to add more fury friends to hang out with our pack! We both grew up with dogs and started adding to our family in 2019. There is no shortage of hugs, cuddles and belly rubs in this house. We have a fenced in yard and take the dogs to park right next to our home multiple times a day! Julia works from home 100% of the time and David works from home 75% of the time and have the flexibility to have more love in our home:) Julia & David tag team dog duty! We both work full time but have the flexibility for multiple walks per day plus quick potty breaks outside when thats all thats needed! Julia will be the main source of walks and loves during the day. David has more flexibility after 5pm and then we tag team all of the work! We have a great 2 story house with plenty of room for more dogs! We have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of our own. We have the space for crates as well! PLEASE NOTE: we take up to 2 additional dogs at a time (plus our 2) Beyond 4 gets a little nutty here :) if you are not comfortable with a big group - we totally understand! We are up early with our own dogs - immediate outdoor potty and breakfast. Around 830/9am is our first walk of the day. Backyard pee breaks if needed before a lunch walk which we take between 1230-130pm. We do an evening walk between 5-7pm and plenty of hugs in between! We can leave our backyard door open and the dogs can come and go if they need to relieve themselves in-between walks! We have a fenced in backyard - Its not huge, but its perfect for potty breaks and small zoomies! This is why we take the dogs to the park frequently. We also have a long driveway which we secure at the end if we want to do close to home zooomies with the ball. We have a security system which is armed at night and also alerts us to any approaching visitors during the day so that all are safe and secure in our home.
