“Judith and her family are absolutely wonderful. Chloe had the most amazing stay and didn’t want to come home LOL. I had a hard time getting her in the car. Judith was so communicative and let us know how Chloe was doing every day. I think Chloe misses them and Cali!! Thank you Judith ❤️❤️❤️”

“Daisy gets wonderful care when she stays with Andrea. Her yard is great for outdoor playtime, and the daily communication and pictures help us to enjoy a worry-free time away!”

“Mario is an extremely caring dog sitter. My 6yr old zz loved being with Mario and his dogs. Zz was so exhausted when he was back home and missed his new friends. I constantly received his photos and videos that was great. Mario took zz out on walks even in snow and cared for zz to my satisfaction.”

“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”

“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”

“Irene was so sweet with our Oliver! She was very communicative and accommodating with our 4 month old pup! Thank you again for your help this week and we look forward to booking with you in the future!!”

“Lily always does an excellent job watching my dog Tito! She always sends pictures and videos of him hanging out peacefully with the other little doggos that she takes care of.”

“Elaine was wonderful with our two dogs on their first time boarding! She is very professional and knows well how to care for the dogs, and she is also so sweet and caring with them, they could not have been in better hands! They had so much fun and exercise, they came home so relaxed and had a full night sleep, well into the morning. We are definitely boarding our guys with Elaine again!”

“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”

“Judy was amazing!! Very patient, detail oriented, and accommodating. I would book her again and recommend to other dog parents in a heartbeat! She even gave my pup Tux a bath and his coat was incredibly soft and fluffy!”


“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”


“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”

“Arly helped us out in a last minute booking situation & she couldn’t have been more proactive, communicative & caring. Gus had a great time with Arly & we had so many wonderful updated & photos, everything was very well taken care of”

I can provide Full time care. This consists of 7 days a week from Monday through Sunday! This includes holidays as well. Do you have inquiries? Contact me anytime! My home is smoke free and clean. I have a room dedicated to dogs. In the summer it is cold, and in the winter it is warm. Camera surveillance is installed in the room so that it may be checked over at night.

“John was awesome with my dog Nala! He sent regular updates throughout the stay which gave me peace of mind while I was traveling. He also took really cool photos of Nala. I highly recommend John and look forward to having him watch my dog in the future!”
