“We felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!”

“If we could give Na ten stars we would , and she'd have earned every one. If you are at all nervous about boarding your dog, Na is the person you should use. She will literally make your dog a member of her family while you're away, and the family all participate in his or her stay. She only takes one dog at a time. She'll focus on your dogs routine and make sure all your directions are followed. Our dog is on a very specific diet and medication and Na followed our instructions perfectly. She adds her own creativity to make your dogs stay a real vacation. Including picnics , book reading before bed, long walks and plenty of supervised yard play. Every few hours you'll get updates on your dog's activities in pictures. As much as we were happy to bring Lola home , It was hard knowing how much fun she was having. We actually made a slide show of Lola's stay and watched before we looked at our vacation pictures!”

About: I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs at the same time and was actively involved in their care. Feeding, bathing, walking and giving them the daily love and attention they needed. I have the ability to adjust my availability as needed. My daily and weekly routine is built around providing consistent and attentive pet care for your loved one. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. While I may not have formal "clinic" experience, my practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.

“10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!”

Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!

Amrit and his daughter took amazing care of Holly for 10 days. He was happy to do a meet and greet and make sure Holly felt comfortable at his house before watching her, and he sent very frequent updates about their days. He was great about making sure she got medicine, and Holly seemed absolutely comfortable spending time there. Would absolutely have him watch Holly again and would recommend him to anyone!
