1. Laura S.

“Laura was very accommodating and Red loved her. So happy to have found her!!! Red is a little picky about people but you can tell Laura really knows dogs and in time at all he warmed up to her. She was very patient with him and even spent extra time with him at our original meet and greet. He is a larger dog at 70lbs and can be a hand full. I totally trust her with him and will continue to use her!”


2. Yumi & Cody S.

“Yumi and Cody (her husband) were fantastic, excellent communicators, and very timely. We have a Shiba Inu who needs two walks a day to pee/poo and an indoor cat. Yumi did drop in visits for both of the pets and they loved her and Cody! They sent us photos of the fur babies and reported what they did each time. They even got our cat a new toy which was so so sweet. We feel at peace leaving the pets with them! Thank you both so so much!”

16. Katherin U.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm... I have a fenced yard and a friendly toddler of 5 years to keep your fur baby company. I can easily lock your dog if necessary


17. Eldar L.

“Eldar is someone i trust with my german shepherd, Koga. He doesnt exactly like people but when he met Eldar, he was all wags and licks. The dog has never met him before mind you. I went out on vacation because boarding was super expensive for me at the time and I asked him if he wouldn't mind watching my furry baby for a week. He gladly accepted and he did everything I asked of him. Koga seemed to have issues about wanting a leash around his neck and when he told me about it, i let him know to bribe him with a treat and take a few with when they went on walks. Not only did that show my dog he wasnt wanting to hurt him, but that he was his friend he could trust. About a week later, I,come home late one day from vacation and I see my dog asleep on top of Eldar. Definitely someone I would recommend always due to how well he listens,well mannered and very approachable and an all around dog person. If this were a grading system, he'd be getting an A+++”


18. Salona M.
About: I have always grown up with animals, with my oldest dog being 16 years old. My youngest animal is a cat of 3 years old whom I rescued as a newborn kitten when he was abandoned. From a young age I have always had a connection with animals and finding a job where I can fulfill this passion for animal care without owning hundreds of animals myself is why I believe this will be the perfect fit. I am a full time college student, currently studying for my Bachelors degree. Most of my classes are online so your animals will always have my company. I live in a house with a spacious fenced in yard for dogs to freely run around and play in. I have a separate room specially for your pets, keeping them comfortable and separate from my own animals. In this room they can cozy up for a nap or sleep when overnighted.


19. Luiz A.
“I am writing to highly recommend Luiz as a dog caregiver. Over the past few years he has has taken exceptional care of my dog, providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment. Luiz is incredibly reliable and responsible. My dog has thrived under his care, enjoying regular walks, playtime, and attention. Luiz also has a keen eye for detail, ensuring that all of my dog’s needs are met. One of the most impressive qualities of Luiz is his ability to handle any situation with calm and professionalism. Whether it's the normal day to day activities or dealing with unexpected issues,he always manages everything with competence and care. I have complete trust in Luiz and feel confident that any pet in his care will be well looked after. I wholeheartedly recommend Luiz to anyone in need of a dedicated and compassionate dog caregiver.”


20. Debriana D.
About: My whole adult life I have been caring for dogs of all kinds. From my senior pug, to two Belgian malinois and a min pin! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have all the time to dedicate to playing with, caring for and loving your doggos. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay. I have a securely enclosed acre and a half for your pet to run and play! I can also easily crate your dog if needed , and my home is always loaded with toys to hang out and do some light playing if they are more of a homebody! I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility.
