“Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.”

“My pup spent a few days with Kelly, and came back happy and healthy. Kelly was very responsive in her communication with me and sent a couple updates during his stay. Good job!”

“Tracy looked after our dog for more than a week while we were away and she did an amazing job! She provided regular updates with photos, showing our furry family member going on walks, playing, and receiving lots of cuddles. It was comforting to know Luna was in such caring and capable hands.”


“Kora had a great stay! Photos and updates were provided daily. Kora, bring an older dog, needs medications daily and help with stairs. She came home a happy dog! Would highly recommend Matthew and Kate!”

About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.

“Margarita took very good care of Buddy and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! It was nice to see how he was doing and know he was being well cared for. We would gladly trust her with Buddy again in the future.”

“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”

“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”

“Jesse and Kimmy were so wonderful with you 3 year old Labradoodle. Peet felt right at home and really settled in nicely. We received many updates and pics throughout the way. Will be rebooking again soon!! Thank you for loving our sweet pup while we were away!”

“Margaret takes great care of our pup when he stays over. She's very knowledgable and experienced with dogs and their behavior and language, and she helps train and work on his behavior. He's always so well behaved when he comes home, and he's happy in all the videos and photos she sends. She's very communicative and sends lots of updates. We're happy to have found someone who can watch him when we're gone.”

“Katherine was incredibly attentive to our senior dog and made him feel at home! We are grateful for her many updates and great communication, and we know our dog would love to stay with her again!”

“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”

“Manli was great sending many photos at the end of the day. She was very responsive by text and her house seemed clean even with 2 small kids. Would defnitely book again.”


“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”

“Milo had lot of fun with Daniel and Emily like the last time. They are my go to folks for taking care of Milo while I am away. Appreciate them going the extra mile with taking him out for long walks, playing & cuddling with him. Daniel is amazing with updates.”

“Can’t thank Farah and Tommy enough. Our pup Sofia is recovering from an injury that requires some special attention. Farah and Tommy were very accommodating and we could tell from the moment we met that they love having a pup in their home. So much so that we have already booked our second stay! Thank you! Marc & Helen”

“Marivel really kept us informed and sent pictures everyday. Frisco seemed happy and adjusted, even though he's never been boarded before. He had the chance to interact with many different dogs and we're hoping that he's gets more easy going with our cat. Thank you, Marivel, for taking good care of our precious dog.”

Thank you Emma for your loving care for our Kobe. We were so happy to see Emma on Rover as she was Kobe’s foster before we adopted him! He can be slow to warm up but knew he’d be so happy once again in her care. We truly appreciate Emma’s knowledge and devotion with even nervous dogs.

Zulena sent us lots of pictures and updates about how our dog was doing and adapting during his stay. It was so reassuring to see that he was eating well, settling in, and enjoying lots of wonderful walks in nature. We really appreciated her care and communication!

Zoey was so excited to see Mora again for her return visit, which was clear confirmation that she had been happy and comfortable during her first stay. Mora takes such great care of her, including lovely walks and even taking her out to lunch! She was also great about giving Zoey her eye drops, and her experience administering them gave me extra peace of mind. Zoey also loved snuggling with Mora, and they even had a little nap together. I could tell Zoey had another excellent stay and was very happy with Mora. We feel fortunate to have found her!

Jessica is absolutely fantastic. She made sure to bond with Kona and make her feel at home. I really appreciate that she was extremely thorough in following the instructions around food. Kona loved her stay and was given excellent care and attention! With regular updates and pictures, Jessica made sure that we were at peace and continuously in the loop on how Kona's stay was going. Thank you so much, Jessica!

Kelly did a great job caring for my Shih Tzu Pepper while we were away for a week on a family vacation. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful. She took great care of Pepper and sent regular photo updates. I had no concerns at all while we were away about Pepper’s care, I felt that I could trust Kelly completely. We received Pepper at the end of the week in excellent condition, happy and appropriately tired from a week of playing! I think her week with Kelly and her partner was a vacation week for Pepper too. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kelly again.
Yun and Lina took excellent care of our dog (boarding) while we were out of town for a few days. To begin, they were happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, and they were clearly invested in our dog’s care by asking questions before and during her stay. Yun and Lina were very engaged with our dog and took her on many walks and errands. We felt assured that our dog was in great hands by the updates that Yun and Lina provided. We’ll definitely be asking for Yun and Lina’s availability the next time we need to board our dog!

Ying was absolutely amazing! She was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. She was very communicative with morning, midday, and evening updates which I loved. And lots of videos and pics! I know Roscoe loved being in her home as he had friends to play with and cozy spots to curl up in the sun. Thank you again!
