Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!

Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Kim was wonderful with our dog Ziggy. She treated him as if he was part of her household! I received beautiful photos of him playing with her dog, her walks in the woods, and of him sleeping. I definitely recommend Kim. She has a caring way with her own dogs and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with her and them. Kim made me (and Ziggy) feel feel cared for!

This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.

Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.

I was a bit nervous, as I had never boarded my pup overnight in an unfamiliar place before. Kayla alleviated every ounce of stress I could have had! She was absolutely great and very professional. She and her two adorable pups welcomes my boy Brody into her home and took such good care of him while I was away, sending updates and pictures regularly. Brody usually gets separation anxiety but became comfortable with Kayla surprisingly quickly, had so much fun playing with her pup Bandit, and came home plum tuckered out! I’m so happy and relieved to have found Kayla and will certainly be returning to her next time I need a sitter!

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Eddy. It was my first time boarding my high energy German shepherd Koda, and I am so beyond grateful I found Eddy to take care of him!! I told him as many updates as he could give me would be appreciated, and he delivered! I got frequent updates on how Koda was doing, how he was eating and getting along with others, and SO many pictures and videos!!! It took so much stress off my shoulders seeing that my boy was having so much fun and being taken care of so wonderfully. He had a BLAST! Instead of boarding him it felt more like a mini vacation for him! I have recommended Eddy to all my friends and if you’re reading this debating using his services…DO IT!!! You will not regret it, Eddy was such a pleasure to work with and you can really tell how much he loves dogs and treats them as his own. Thank you again so much Eddy for being so communicative, responsible, and loving to Koda!

My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!

Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!
