“Judy was amazing! It was Chief’s first time with her and he fell in love! Super communicative- great with updates and photos! We can’t wait until Chief gets to stay with Judy again!”
“Melissa is a thoughtful and caring dog-sitter. She told me she loves dogs and it show in all her actions when she dog sat my labradoodle. She read him very well and met his emotional needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!
“Fantastic and so kind! I received many photos and updates throughout my dogs stay with Rosa. I felt confident she was well cared for while I was away. I’d use Rosa again in a heartbeat!”
“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She is, without a doubt, the most patient and understanding dog sitter we've ever had. We couldn’t be happier with her service. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Wendy did a fantastic job comforting him and helping him feel settled. She sent us tons of pictures and videos, and made sure he got long walks and play dates. Her constant communication gave us peace of mind, especially with trying a new sitter. 10/10 would highly recommend, and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Yenis was wonderful! She took great care of our pup and it was clear that he had a nice time with her and her dog. We would absolutely use her again!”
“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 & Jon again a nourishing environment for our puppy with their own fur babies. Great fun for all. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Magdalena. My Pup really seemed to love his stay! She was so attentive to his needs. She would send me updates and pictures. She has a great backyard for him to run around which is enclosed. In addition her pup really helped put my pup at ease. I will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks Magdalena!”
“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!”
“Rich is always so sweet with our pups. We always feel confident leaving them with him and his wife for a long weekend stay or for a day of doggy daycare.”

If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll make sure they feel at ease and maintain their usual routines to ensure a stress-free experience.
“Lindsey is excellent! I would enthusiastically recommend her. She was detailed and caring with our coonhound Reba. Lindsey carefully introduced her dogs to Reba and they seemed to hit it off (including cute videos of them playing together). Her dogs are gentle and friendly, so it was nice to know Reba was getting social time in while we were away! Lindsey was detailed about Reba’s diet, schedule, walks, etc. She asked questions to make sure she understood all her needs. She was completely responsive and available. She sent just the right amount of pictures and videos. Thank you so much, we are so glad we found you!”
“Absolutely 5 stars! From the minute we met Karine and Ryan, we knew they were the right people to care for our dog while we were away. Karine completed a detailed questionnaire at the Meet and Greet which ensured that she knew all of Stanley's needs, routines, etc. When we dropped Stanley off for his stay, Karine and Ryan were friendly, confident and reassuring. Karine sent us great pictures and updates throughout our trip and really made us feel that Stanley was the top priority. When we picked Stanley up, it was obvious that he had really enjoyed his stay - while excited to see us, he was not anxious in any way. Karine and Ryan could not have been kinder to us or our dog and we look forward to having Stanley stay again with them many times!”
“Erica did a great job watching my dog for the night! Super responsive, friendly, and took great care of my pup. I would definitely trust her again!”
“Carrigan was very easy to deal with and communicated clearly. My dog seemed to have had a good time at their sleep over. I would definitely have her take care of Selena again.”
“Cooper had a great time with Judith and her family. We booked Judith for a last minute doggy daycare and I felt comfortable leaving cooper with her right off the bat. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jorge gave me updates everyday on Coco. He prioritized her needs and was genuinely involved in her daily routine giving her what she needed when she needed it. I've booked multiple stays with Jorge and feel extremely at ease knowing my dog is in a loving environment.”
“Anner was very accommodating. The dogs were very happy with him. We did a trial run for an overnight stay to see how they managed. They were happy dogs. When I dropped them off for their stay they were both excited. Thank you Anner, you have two fans. I will definitely use your services again.”
