“Cannoli had the best time playing with you and the other pups and is now super snoozy -- which is the best kind of dog to come home to. Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Adela was great as always! She took great care of Ollie, sent frequent pictures, and was flexible when travel plans changed. We love knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are away!”
“They did such a great job watching my corgi pup. I appreciated the picture and video updates I got while I was away. There was one minor inconvenience however I appreciated how quickly Ming helped resolved the issues with great customer service skills. The care my pup received was evident when I picked her up and I will be booking with them again in the future.”
“Robert was available short notice to watch Lily. He sent me pictures and updates of Lily throughout her stay, and even took her to the dog park numerous times! He went above and beyond to make sure Lily felt comfortable and well-cared for. I will definitely book with Robert again!”
“Tiffany and family were great with my old pup. They made him feel part of the family while we were gone and were responsive with communication. They were flexible with pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“Great sitters! They included our dog in everything extra they did with their own dogs. They knew she loves to hike/explore, go on rides, play & she loves to cuddle and they did it all!! We would definitely recommend them as they treated her like their own.”
“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Lori was great to work with! She was very welcoming during our meet & greet and during our dog's stay. Shorty (our dog) had a blast & came home exhausted from all the fun at Lori's. We'd most def ask her to care for him again!”
“Andrea was awesome to work with! She has an initial Meet and Greet so we could meet her and see her home and yard where Frank and Walter would be staying. This helped put us at ease. When we dropped the boys off she was prepared and ready to take on whatever came her way. The boys had a great time at her home and she sent lots of pictures of them playing and snuggling. It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she cares for. She was also super flexible when we ended up with continuous issues getting home. We so appreciated this as we were stressed already with our many delays. We will definitely have Andrea watch Frank and Walter again soon. Thanks again Andrea!!”
“Trish has been fantastic with my dogs! She sent me frequent updates and images/videos of my dogs throughout their stay with her. She checked with me on anything she's not sure about regarding my dogs' diet needs and habits. I honestly cannot imagine a better sitter than Trish! I have full trust in their family taking care of my dogs.”
“She was so great with our shih-tzu! Our dog has a bit of anxiety when not with me (honestly, I do too!) but Anne was so patient and willing to work with her to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Abbey took wonderful care of my dog Simba who is 8 years old. She gave me updates and set photos. I would highly recommend Abbey and will use her again in the future.”
“This was our first time “boarding” our dogs, and though we don’t have much to compare to, we are very pleased with and appreciative of the care provided. From the moment we met them I knew we could trust them to give our pups the care we hoped for while we were on vacation. Our dogs are so lucky! Jasper and Copper had as good a vacation as we did! They seemed happy and we loved getting updates on how things were going. Thank you for such genuine top notch care.”
“My little dogs loved their overnight at M’s place, yay!!! They slept >good!< after a nice day in a big house, got to sleep in one of their favorite places, got attention, and enjoyed a fenced-in backyard (I’m currently in an apt.), fun! She fed my boy dog his renal prescribed food, and her big dog Benji’s a big sweetie too!!! Can’t miss!!!”
“I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!”
About: As a dedicated pet owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including my cat Misty and my two beloved Boston Terriers, Bisou and Miso. Raising Miso as a puppy has given me valuable insight into training, patience, and providing a nurturing environment. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and affection in keeping pets happy and healthy. Whether it's managing different pet personalities, ensuring proper nutrition, or creating a safe and loving atmosphere, I am passionate about giving animals the best care possible. As a freelance trombone player, my schedule has a lot of flexibility. I teach lessons which are scheduled weekly, and I’m informed of my performances/rehearsals weeks in advance. This leaves me with plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and stress-free. I respect your home, keeping it tidy and treating it with care. With constant supervision, regular check-ins, and plenty of affection, I provide a loving, familiar atmosphere. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for.
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
