“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”

“This is our second time having our dog stay with Megha and Irene, and we couldn’t be happier. We received plenty of photos and updates, which really put us at ease. In every photo, it’s clear our dog is getting lots of love and care from the whole family. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with them and will definitely book again.”

“This was my first time using Rover for my fur baby and overall great experience! Dana was great! She was super responsive to my questions and sent pictures throughout my time away. I would definitely trust her with Ruby again in the future!”

“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”

“I am so pleased I was able to found boarding for my doggie Jojo with Chelsea. I was constantly kept informed by way of pictures and notes of how he was doing. My pet appeared to feel comfortable and at home. In my opinion from the updates it was due to the care and love shown to him. I’m truly grateful; this was the longest period I was away from him. I will definitely use the service in the future based on opportunity and or availability. Thank you Chelsea & family”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of animals, spending time with them. I’m willing to work with your puppies or senior dogs providing good care. I have a lot of free time right now and would love to spend it helping take care of other dogs whether that’s walking them, playing with them or simply giving them attention. And making sure they are well cared for! I have a fenced and spacious yard. My home is dog-friendly, clean and safe. I’ll keep you updated on your pet with photos and messages.
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys this weekend. Also thanks for the updates it gave my wife peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be working with you in the future.”

“Garrett, Ana and their family were so wonderful. They were very communicative and took care of our golden, Pretzel so well. Pretzel had the best time with their family! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving pretzel with them. We will definitely book with them again!!”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”

“Jennifer, Li and JJ were absolutely amazing! Odis loved them so much! Jennifer saved us for our weekend away as our original sitter had to cancel unfortunately. She was responsive, kind, professional and funny! I knew the second I met her and Li that Odis would be in great hands. JJ is so, so sweet and after meeting him, I knew Odis would get along with him and learn a thing or two! Lol. Thank you, Jennifer and Li for all your help! We look forward to bringing Odis back in the future! 💕”

“Candace and her family were amazing. Brownie really enjoyed the backyard and most importantly all the rubs and cuddles. I got pictures and videos daily and really felt comfortable with the stay. Will absolutely use Candace again!!!”

“I had an amazing experience with Michael! They took such great care of both of my dogs while I was away. I really appreciated the daily photos and videos. It gave me so much peace of mind seeing my pup happy, playing, and getting lots of attention. Communication was great and I could tell they genuinely cared. I came home to a relaxed and happy dog. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”

My special skills include: - **Puppy Training:** I provide foundational training to help young dogs develop good habits and social skills. - **Senior Care:** I offer gentle and attentive care for older dogs, ensuring they are comfortable and happy. - **Behavior Understanding:** My experience allows me to quickly read and respond to dogs' body language and needs. - **Personalized Attention:** I tailor my care to match each dog's personality and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience. My genuine love for dogs, combined with reliability and a nurturing approach, sets me apart from other sitters. Your dog will be in loving, experienced hands, making their time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I work from home as an IT Admin and pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I schedule regular feeding times, play sessions, walks, and cuddle sessions to ensure my pets' physical and emotional needs are met.

“Jenn was an absolute lifesaver after we had a last-minute cancellation. She stepped in without hesitation and took wonderful care of our dog, Draco. From the start, she was kind, responsive, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease. Draco was clearly well cared for and happy, and we’re so grateful for Jenn’s flexibility and reliability. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Our mini schnauzer doesn’t travel well so we had to find a place for her to stay for a few days, when we went on vacation. She is anxious and thanks to the pandemic is quite used to having us around so i wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be lonely. Lilly and her family made sure my pup was well taken care of. They took her in and treated her like family. Lilly asked all the right questions to understand how our dog was treated (allowed on furniture? Human food? How many walks? Etc) so that the dog felt at home. She responded quickly to my inquiries, particularly on the first day. She sent multiple pictures throughout the time to show me how Elsa was fitting in. Lilly was kind, understanding, patient snd an overall amazing dog sitter. Will definitely use her again if we have to go out of town and I highly recommend her!”

“Victoria is once again a lifesaver . I was having painters at the house and Enzo was going to be in the way and I asked if she could take him overnight and she said yes right away and it all worked beautifully. They get along well.”

“Miguelina was wonderful and very communicative. We were worried about leaving our newly adopted dog for the first time, and she was so well taken care of and loved! Highly recommend!”

But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!

They were awesome! Grant and Yunrui were so great with my Miama and sent me plenty of photos and updates on how she was doing during my trip which eased my nervousness on leaving her. They were also super patient since my dog is a little reactive and were completely understanding and nice about it. I would most definitely book with them again!

MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.

Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands.

We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!

Theodora was a last minute lifesaver for me as I had a last minute work trip and needed a sitter. She was friendly and professional and took the time to understand my pup’s care. She is also the most communicative sitter I’ve had as I received daily messages and photos of him. Highly recommend her!

Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!
My experience with Azaria was fantastic. My dog can be a bit shy and suspicious with strangers but she worked her magic and had him feeling at ease. She was happy to accommodate for all of my instructions and his needs. She provided frequent updates so I never had to wonder how they were getting along. I wouldn't hesitate to book Azaria again!
