“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”

“Dianne and Mackenzie were great dog sitters. They picked him up at my house when the snow was over a foot deep, and dropped him off. They sent pics every day several times a day, and Sammie looked so happy! They brushed him a lot, and insisted that they give him their own treats that I didn’t need to bring my own. They were very communicative and it seemed like sammie got along with their dog and was doing very well over there. Id definitely use them again! So glad I found them last minute before my surgery. Thanks again!”

“Victoria did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She sent pictures, and Dani had a wonderful time playing with her dog. We would absolutely board with her again. Thank you!”

“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”

“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”

“Marlyn has been an absolute blessing for us and our anxiety-prone Labrador Chocolate. From the moment we entrusted Marlyn with the care of our beloved pet, we knew we had made the right choice. Marlyn's understanding of Chocolate's anxiety issues was evident right from the start. She took the time to familiarize herself with his needs and quirks, ensuring that he felt comfortable and secure in her care. This level of attentiveness and empathy truly set our minds at ease. One of the things we appreciated most about Marlyn was her commitment to keeping us updated on Chocolate's well-being. She regularly provided us with timely updates on how he was doing, including photos and messages that never failed to put a smile on our faces. Knowing that Chocolate was in good hands and being so well taken care of helped alleviate our worries and allowed us to enjoy our time away. Marlyn's dedication to her work and her genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction we had with her. Her professionalism, reliability, and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided to Chocolate. We cannot recommend Marlyn highly enough to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Marlyn, for going above and beyond to ensure that Chocolate was happy, safe, and loved while we were away. You are truly a gem, and we look forward to having you care for Chocolate again in the future.”

“Michelle and her family were absolutely fantastic! They took care of my pup like he was their own. Great communication and tons of pictures. Would recommend them 10/10!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! My husband and I share our home with Boba, our sweet French Bulldog, who has brought so much joy into our lives. Being a dog parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, patience, affection, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel loved and secure. My goal is to provide a welcoming, low-volume, home-based experience where your dog receives individualized attention rather than feeling like just another guest at a busy boarding facility. Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home! I work remotely, so I'm home throughout much of the day and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Having a dog of my own, I'm already accustomed to regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection! My flexible home-based routine allows me to provide companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than leaving visiting pets alone for extended periods. I offer boarding and daycare based on my availability and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at once so each guest receives personalized attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a welcoming home environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of individual attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and respect each pet's unique needs. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure they're comfortable with me, my home, and my resident French Bulldog, Boba. I follow each owner's feeding instructions, medication requirements, and care preferences closely. I also supervise interactions between dogs, provide separate feeding spaces, and make sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest. I intentionally keep my bookings limited and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Ashley is always so wonderful with Bowser and provides updates and pictures which helps us relax when we’re away from our pup. She treats him like her own and we refuse to take him anywhere else when we need him watched- we know he is getting individualized love and attention there 🥰 so thankful for Ashley’s care!!!!”


“We were so lucky to find Paige while visiting the area. She cared for our dog while we toured the city, sending photos during his stay, and clearly connected with him so well that he charged into her home the next morning when he returned. We totally appreciated Paige’s pet-friendly set-up with multiple dog beds and a giant fenced-in yard. Thank you for loving and caring for Milo so well!”

“Jingle needs special accommodations and Scott took really good care of her. I received photos every day and also updates on Jingle’s condition. Jingle also has plenty of exercise every day! She had a good time there 🥰”

“Kelly and Ben were fantastic! Very communicative, pictures were sent during her stay and patches came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely use them again.”

“Meleah is an awesome sitter. She took care of our older dog, JoonBug, (which is not easy!) and JoonBug came back in excellent shape! We can tell she was loved on too while we were gone. I would recommend Meleah to anyone!”


“Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.”

“Kirsten and Nicolas took such good care of our boy! Our dog even got to play with their dogs and got along well with them. Their dogs are so calm and relaxed just what our 3 year old energetic dog needed to relax. They took care of our feeding schedule and our pup was back healthy and happy! I would definitely rebook with them.”

“Kristen went above and beyond for our pups! She gave them lots of love, attention and exercise. She sent frequent updates and pictures. My dogs loved her. Would highly recommend her services!”

Easy choice! My dog and I *both* have separation anxiety. I was anxious with trying somebody new for boarding, but I’m so glad I went with Taylor. Frequent updates, felt like I could be in touch with her whenever. Every photo my dog seemed completely chill. Very calm environment. 5 stars (thanks Taylor!)

Zachary was absolutely amazing with Coco! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. He provided consistent updates, photos, and made sure we knew Coco was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and Coco came back happy and relaxed. Communication was great, and everything was handled professionally. Highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitteR
