1. Heather G.
“We went on a week long trip and dropped our dog off at Heathers house. From meeting her the first time, I just felt my dog would be safe here. I think Dexter had a great time there with other dogs and with all the pictures that Heather texted throughout the week, it looked as though Dexter was right at home. I will use Heather every time we need a place for Dexter to go for a few days. I think Heather treats all dogs that stay with her as if they are her own. :)”
2. Samantha M.
“Samantha has been the best care taker for my two pups that I’ve ever encountered. She was so willing to open her home up to my dogs considering some of their characteristics that have made people turn me down before. She cared for my dogs as if they were her own and gave me so many updates throughout the day. Our conversations are filled with affirmations that she has experience with all types of breeds and doesn’t discriminate against them at all. I will definitely book over and over again, she has become my go to boarder ❤️❤️”

4. Montserrat M.
“A lot of sitters say "treat them as my own" and Montserrat truly does. Our dogs were unbelievably happy and had the best time. She also kept us up to date with pictures and videos all throughout our trip and let us know how they were doing. We'll 1000% be using her again for future trips :)”

12. Camila & Charles S.
“Camila and Charles were wonderful! They were able to watch our dog and cat at short notice. The fur babies had a wonderful time! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and they made him feel right at home. This was also our cat’s first time being boarded and they had lots of fun making homemade toys for her and giving her new experiences. Camila sent us daily videos and pictures while we were away. Additionally, their home is super safe for critters to explore and be comfortable. I plan on booking with them again when we travel!”

About: I've been a dog owner most of my life but I currently travel too often to commit to a new family member. To help with that, I've been fostering with a local rescue for the past 3 or 4 years. Only recently have I started taking on family pets. There is a definite need for warm and loving care. Normal boarding checks the boxes of food, water, potty but the socializing and playing time is very limited. This is my opportunity to help your pet get taken care of like you would take care of them. I'm also available to help with consistency of care. If your dog is being taught a new trick and you need my husband and I to keep up the training...no problem. Is the flea and heartworm preventative due while you're gone and you're not sure if you can trust the boarding facility to do it, let me help. When your dog is in our home and/or care, we will not have a foster (we can cover our foster care schedule easily). So no worries there if your dog needs a "no dog" home. Looking forward to speaking with you about how to get you some peace of mind while you're away! I am up very early (before 6) to start my day job and I'm off by 3. I rarely leave the home throughout the work day so if you have a pupper who loves lap snuggles, I can accommodate that while working. 😄 We do not have any other pets or children in the home. Your beloved puppy will get all of my/our attention. Small and medium dogs are best for us just because of the lack of yard. If you have a lower energy big dog though, that works just fine. We are not the best fit for dogs that need to go on leashed runs or hours long walks.
15. Ekaterina V.
“Ekaterina provided excellent care of my Boston Terrier, Pepper 🌶 Highly recommended! She provide updates and pictures.”
16. Alyssa K.
“My Jax is a socially awkward low energy senior sharpie/chow/golden mix and Alyssa was a great match! She met him where he was, attentive to his actions and moods. Kept me updated on how he was doing. Her space was clean and very dog friendly. Even though I don't look forward to parting ways with my furbaby, at least we have a new friend who we can turn to that we can both trust. Thanks Alyssa🩷”
17. Devon & Tyson C.
“Amazing! My little guy is very high maintenance but they took him in like their own. They sent lots of pictures and videos and had great communication. Super accommodating and kind. He was sad to leave and came back happy and even with some more manners! Would definitely recommend.”
18. Olivia G.
“I was very grateful to have found Olivia to care for my dog on a short notice. I appreciate her communication and friendliness, as well as her care to my dog.”
19. Ami R.
“Ami is great! Very responsive and Remy left well taken care of and happy. We had the opportunity to meet with Ami and her dog before his stay. He had a great weekend with Ami at her place.”
20. Nick B.
“Thank you for taking good care of Latte! Thank you for the everyday pictures and update. I hope he behaved himself while in your care. Latte is a gentle and sweet dog. We don't mind having Nick again to watch Latte if needed.”
