“I appreciated Dayana’s quick response and willingness to accept a last minute boarding request for our dog while away for a long weekend. She allowed me to stop by ahead of booking with her to view her house and yard. She has a thoughtful set up for ensuring dogs will be comfortable in her house with dog beds, toys, and treats. She was also flexible to accept a later pick-up time when we returned home. Dayana sent both pictures and videos, which made me feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands. I would use her again.”

“John did a great job with our Enzo dog. He is obviously a dog person! You can tell by the way he talks with and connects with dogs. Since this was the first time our dog boarded with someone, we wondered how he would do, but he was totally comfortable with John. By the way, John sent pictures to put us at ease, but also showed that our dog was happy and comfortable.”

Karl sent images which were so great to get since we love our babies like their are our dogs ❤️ I highly recommend Karl for all your dog care needs.”
“Heidi was awesome! We chose her to give my little westie the most homelike environment while we traveled. At home he is allowed on furniture and to sleep in the bed so we loved that Heidi allowed the same. He’s also an old guy so we loved that she takes only 1 dog at a time. She was super communicative/responsive and sent lots of photo updates. Thanks for loving on our fur baby, Heidi!!”
“Monica was excellent! Truley went above and beyond to keep us informed of how our pup was doing and make sure he had as good a stay as possible with her and her family. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Maui while we were away!”

About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.
About: Hi! I would love to take care of your dog like he/she was one of my own! I love all animals and so does my family! I have had pets and dogs since I was a child and so has my husband. I am a stay at home mom at the moment and my husband works full time. We live in a single family home. We recently lost our 14year old mini schnauzer, he is the one in our photo gallery. Someone who will always be with me is my daughter, who is one year old and my son who is 5 years old. Please contact me with any questions. I am currently a stay at home mom and will be able to walk your dog or let them out in our yard through out the day. We have a yard and a senior dog to keep your dog some company. We also have a crate if that will keep your pet more comfortable.
“Natalya was wonderful with Charlie, our miniature schnauzer... She introduced him to a doggie door (his first) and he enjoyed playing with Natalya's two lovely dogs... I know he was well cared-for! Communicating with Natalya was easy. A great experience for us and Charlie.”

Giannina S.
“Giannina has watched our 6-year-old schnauzer, Miles, twice and he loved every minute! She gave Miles such love and attention the entire time and he came back home after our long trips a very happy and healthy dog. She kept me in the loop with pictures and updates of what he was doing with her family and it gave me peace of mind knowing that our little baby was being taken care of. Giannina was also super accommodating when our flight was delayed and again this alleviated all our stress from traveling away from our little pup. Giannina is a loving, kind, and excellent with all pups! Highly recommend her!”
