“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Megan. She really went above and beyond for Ollie and it shows. He crashed every time he came home which shows just how much play he got at Megan’s. We will definitely be back!”

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, small and medium, since I was 12. My first dog walking job was when I was a freshman in high school. Every now and then, I’d still watch family members’ dogs. They’ve relied on me to feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently home full-time with my own dog so I have plenty of time to watch other dogs. I am available for overnight stays/day care on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 3pm to 8pm. I live in an apartment but I spend most of my time at the dog park that is very close so your dog won’t be cooped inside for too long. I also have a very friendly, energetic beagle/husky mix to keep your pet company. He’s lonely and I try to be as much of a fury friend to him as possible so this will be good for him, too! When we are inside, they will have toys, treats, and their own beds/crates to rest.
About: Cole and I (who will both be caring for your pup) have many years of experience caring for dogs from pet sitting for friends and taking care of family pets throughout our lives. We live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard, and a great neighborhood for long walks. We have one medium-sized dog, Finn (1y/o), who is super friendly and loves to make new dog friends. Having recently gone through the puppy phase with Finn and the senior phase with our family pets, we are well-equipped to handle all phases of your pup's life. I work hybrid (wfh mondays and fridays) and Cole is full time remote, so we have availability to care for your dog all times of the week. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a great neighborhood for long walks. We are close to a fenced-in dog park as well if your dog is comfortable with that. We are flexible with any specific instructions for pets staying with us.
About: I’m well-versed in senior pet care, understanding their unique needs and ensuring they stay comfortable and engaged. I also prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, fostering trust and communication. My attention to detail, combined with a genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet receives the highest level of care tailored to their individual personality and need. I'm available for boarding pets, dog walks, pet sitting at your home, and can do check-ins at your home! I am available for the entire duration that I have your pet with me. In my apartment, I prioritize safety and comfort for pets by creating a secure environment. I ensure all windows and balconies are safely secured, and I keep hazardous items, like cleaning supplies and small objects, out of reach. For my clients, I follow similar principles. I conduct a thorough walk-through of their home to identify any potential hazards and make adjustments as needed. I also establish a routine that includes regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep pets happy and engaged. Building trust is crucial, so I communicate openly with pet owners about their pets’ needs and any concerns that arise. I make sure to maintain a clean and comfortable space, providing plenty of fresh water and a cozy spot for rest. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets can thrive.
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”

“Abigail and her super sweet and well behaved pup, Boba, were so welcoming and warm with Willar, my senior chiweenie. Abigail was attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and did a great job with the instructions for Willar's special diet. Abigail catered to Willar's needs which is very comforting for a pet parent of an older dog. I'm very grateful!🙏”

“Joanna is a very kind hearted sitter. Drake fell in love with her the first time he meet her. Remi is a cool dude who has confidence and is very friendly. I have zero worries whne Drake is in her care.”

“We had a wonderful first visit with Amanda and her dog London and look forward to many “next times!”Amanda kept me informed about how things were going, including photos of my pup clearly making herself at home.”

I had a great experience with Suseth as Leo's sitter! She was so sweet and accommodating, even with my last-minute requests. Suseth was very responsive, and Leo came home happy, which says it all. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care! Thank you, Suseth!

Sydney provided excellent day care for our dog Janie. Communication was clear and timely, and we loved receiving photos during the day. Janie was always excited to go to Sydney's house and came home calm, happy, and tired. Highly recommended for being attentive, reliable, and caring!

Delaney was very responsive. We did a meet and greet the day after our fist contact. She is a fellow beagle lover so points there! Fred was very pleased with his visit. He settled right in and did is nap thing. Delaney was communicative and sent pictures and updates even though the visit was short. I will definitely work with Delaney again!

Kael and Juliana are fantastic! My dog always has a lot of fun with them. I love the videos they send throughout the day. I knew they were a great fit when I brought my dog over for a second time and she immediately jumped out of the car and ran to Kael. 5 out of 5 starts!
