“I am so grateful to have found Katherine! She took great care of my dog Frankie. Frankie has some special needs and is very small and half-blind and I couldn’t have found a better, more gentle and loving person to trust him with for my time away. I felt so secure knowing Frankie was well take care of with Katherine, she really treated him with love and that’s the best I could ask for! Thanks!!”
“I am so grateful for Bruce and Carolyn for keeping my babies safe and loved while we went on vacation. Pictures and updates every day were amazing and my dogs love staying with them.”
“After seeing Bri with her own dogs, I knew she would take great care of my little guy. We were grateful for the service and responsiveness she showed, would love to use her again!”
“Zuleima was an awesome sitter. She sent me daily updates in lady and plenty of photos to show me that she was well taken care of. I will fully trust my dog with Zuleima again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Amanda & Michael were perfect for our 2 pups. Great Communication and incredibly flexible when we ran into travel issues. The dogs were safe and had a blast in a nice yard with their own dog. Will definitely re-book.”
“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”
“Mariana was wonderful. Our dog can be a little nervous in general but she was very comfortable, playful, and tired when we picked her up. Mariana was incredibly responsive and sent picture updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog at her house and will definitely do so in the future.”
“Adrien took great care of our cat and provided us with plenty of updates and pictures that let us know our boy was doing well! We could tell that Bebop was given a comfortable and safe environment that allowed him to settle in quickly. Adrien also has his own cat and is therefore well-experienced in taking care of cats. Our cats got along, but we were reassured that they could be separated if needed. I highly recommend Adrien and will look for him to watch over our cat in the future!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
“Howard has an exceptional way with canines. My Winston, a 4 year old Shetland Sheepdog, spent 2 days and 1 night at his home. At pick up we could tell that Winston was well cared for. Howard and his family do prefer smaller dogs. My sheltie, at 40 pounds, was at the upper limit for boarding in his home.”
“Siqing spoiled Kodi with naps on the couch and cuddles. She shared pictures of him with her pups and he seemed to be part of the family. It was an amazing weekend for him. Siqing is great to work with and very accommodating. I hope we have the opportunity to leave Kodi with her again soon”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”
“Srishti and Sebastiano were amazing!! My high-energy dog had a great time and they sent a couple super cute videos while I was away. Will definitely be sending my girl over again!!”
“Stephanie takes excellent care of our dog while we are away. Prior to him staying with her, she met him twice to get to know him and see if he would be a good fit with her dogs. She keeps in regular contact while we are gone and sends lots of photos! Our dog seems very happy with Stephanie and gets lots of walks! Definitely recommend Stephanie!”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter”
About: I grew up with farm dogs and absolutely adore them. I've also had quite some experience with elderly dogs, please inquire if they have special needs/ medications and we can see if it's an appropriate fit. General Boarding Schedule Weekdays: Morning: 30-minute walk. Midday: 1-hour “coffee walk” Evening: Flexible based on the dog—if good on leash a run, or a small adventure. Weekends: No set schedule Weekday First-Time Boarders (Not Crated): Drop-off must be early morning (06:00–06:30 am) or after 06:00 pm. This allows time for them to settle in while I am home and ensures they’re not anxious (or eating furniture) while adjusting. Building type: apartment Pet 'privileges': pets would have access to 772 sq feet (this excludes the bedroom and bathroom). Pet's welcome on furniture. Building has a grooming room to rinse off paws
“Alexandra and her family were amazing with our chihuahua. Alexandra sent us lots of pictures and was super communicative throughout the weekend. We will definitely book Alexandra next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!”
