“Lee is amazing and I knew that Max was in the best hands from the minute we met her. As soon as we arrived at her house, Max wanted to go in and join the pack. It was such a relief not to have to worry about him and we will definitely hire her again without any reservation.”


“Alexandra is awesome! Our bear dog had a great time with her and was very well taken care of. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Alex is a very good communicator and we had great updates throughout the trip.”


“Lilly and her husband, David, took excellent care of our dog! Lily has been very attentive to details, and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Her frequent updates, both written and in photos, gave us much-needed peace of mind during vacation. What’s more amazing is that our dog picked up commands that she long forgot and new ones from Lilly’s training during her stay with Lilly. We highly recommend them!”


“Karen is a lovely human and a dedicated dog lover. We adopted a hound last July and she has had a few challenges, so we looked for a boarding option that would be a positive experience for our dog while also providing enough supervision and calm attentive care so she would feel comfortable. Our pup has become very attached to me because of the many times she was abandoned, so it really took a special touch to help her feel safe right away. Karen’s dog Ginsburg became her pal, and they spent hours basking in the sun on the deck in the backyard. When our pup came home after staying with Karen she was happy and calm, with no added nervousness or reactivity after the change. From our first meeting when Karen and Ginsburg met us for a walk Karen was also a wonderful resource, sharing helpful ideas after listening closely to our specific challenges with our sweet sensitive hound. After our first meeting I asked if we could meet a second time and Karen suggested we meet at her house so I could see how Rosie behaved in her home. This was such a helpful step, and helped me feel comfortable boarding her at Karen’s house. If you want a household of dog lovers who truly care about your dog’s well being and healthy development, then this is the place for you!”


“Andrea is absolutely wonderful—so sweet and caring with our pup. She treats our dog like her own and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and having fun. Our dogs get along great and enjoy their time together, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. We never have to worry, knowing he’s in such loving hands!”


“Alexis and her roommate very curious to learn about Puffy as I dropped him off which was nice. They were very communicative and kept me up to date with texts and pictures. Thanks alot!”

“Isaac and Jordan did a great job watching our boy! They were very communicative and were there to answer any questions. They also sent photos which was much appreciated. He slept the whole next day after we picked him up which is always a sign that he had a good time!”


“Albina is amazing! 🥰 Her space is peaceful and perfect for dogs, and Midna looked so happy in every update she sent. Communication was easy and clear, and I could tell Midna was in great hands the whole time 💖. I’d definitely book with Albina again—she’s attentive, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Thanks for hosting my baby and being sweet and kind to her! 🥰🫶🏻”


“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”


“Mary took great care of Maggie! She was a very thoughtful host, kept Maggie entertained and active, and sent me lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”


“Absolutely great experience! Sara provided attentive care, tailored to Lily's senior needs, ensuring she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, receiving updates and photos regularly, which eased any worries. Her little dog Soba is such a great companion, first time I saw Lily was cuddling with other dog. 🥹 they’re so cute together. 🥰 Highly recommend Sara.”


“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”


“Charlene watched Benji over the Memorial Day weekend with short notice. She sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Benji had a great time with the other dogs and we will definitely bring him back!”


“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”


“Aman took great care of our dog Nico when he stayed with him for a week. Nico loved his walks by the lake, and we got consistent photos and updates. Nico didn't want to leave Aman when we picked him up, he had such a good time!”


“Tiffany and Lauren took excellent care of our special needs Frenchie, Ruby! They provided frequent updates and cute photos! Ruby didn’t want to leave!”



“This is the second time Reijun has watched our dog and again she was fabulous! She took such good care of our dog and we enjoyed all the pictures!”


About: I have over 15+ years of hands-on pet care experience, starting from growing up on a dairy farm surrounded by a variety of animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been the go-to dog walker and pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since childhood, and even became the unofficial dog walker at my previous pet-friendly office. I currently live with two chinchillas (who have their room for their privacy from any furry visitors). I’m always thoughtful about making sure visiting pets feel safe, comfortable, and respected — whether they’re big, small, shy, or playful. I’m confident managing different temperaments, sizes, and routines, and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every visit. I currently work part-time and freelance, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits in perfectly — I genuinely enjoy building my days around walks, visits, and quality time with animals. I’m often home during the week and always looking for a good reason to get outside on the weekends, so spending time with pets is something I naturally make space for. Whether it's a midday walk or a weekend overnight stay, I'm happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have access to a dog park right in my apartment complex, plus I’m just a short walk from both Washington Park and the Alameda Dog Park — perfect for playtime, enrichment, and exercise. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel at home. Whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home, I bring lots of energy, patience, and attention to detail. I make sure they’re getting the activity, affection, and structure they need — and plenty of fun, too.


“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”

Jeremy D.
“I was fortunate enough to find Jeremy to take care of my two chinchillas and cat when I was traveling for work. I was gone for weeks at a time in 2024, and Jeremy always took attentive care of my animals. I was never worried about leaving them at Jeremy's place. An animal of prey with two chinchillas does require close care, as you can imagine, and there was never any issue while Jeremy looked after them. He followed my directions to a T. Jeremy was always prompt, on time, and flexible. There were a few instances where I had to add days on short notice due to work, and he was always accommodating. My pets always came back happy, healthy, and fed. You are in good hands with Jeremy for any type of pet, that is for sure.”
