“Great stay as always. We have been sending Remy to stay with Malerie for over a year. Remy gets so excited when she knows she is going for a visit. Malerie takes great care of Remy and we feel very safe with her.”


About: Hi pet parents! I’m Antonio. I have been around dogs my entire life. Growing up my family bred German Shepherds. I have taken care of dogs all ages. To me dogs are more than just pets, they are part of your family. I have been housesitting and dog sitting since I was in high school. It started out as a way to make some extra money and has since turned into a passion of mine. I look forward to meeting your furry friends I currently am working from home so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I am available whenever your furry friends need a pal. I have two friendly dogs who love to make new friends. I live near several parks and a dog park. We typically go for one or two walks daily.

“Faith & Ronin were great hosts to Ellie. They went above and beyond to take her on walks, go to the dog park, and even give her a bath. Ellie got along really well with their dog and she seemed to have an amazing time. Would definitely recommend this host to anyone!”


“Eve maintained great communication throughout our pup's stay, really gave us a peace of mind. Well kept grounds and clean household. Her own dogs are friendly and kept our dog busy. We are so lucky to have found her. 100% recommend.”


“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL DOGSITTER!! My pups are my babies and I would definitely without hesitation book Lynne again in a heartbeat. She sent me the sweetest photos throughout my vacation that made me feel like the pups were right there with me and I could tell they were happy. After my flight got delayed by a day, she was super sweet and accommodating, ensuring me that pups were still okay. Would definitely book with Lynne again!! :)”


“Kailyn went out her way to buy Mylo some pee pads and she also made sure he ate and drank lots of water throughout the day. Kailyn and her family took such good care of Mylo, always kept an eye out for him. She has such a beautiful house, big backyard with lots of space for the pups to run around, including a couple doggie pools for the summer time. Mylo left Kailyn's house very happy, excited, and in good spirits, I can tell Mylo enjoyed his stay! She answered all my text messages and any questions I had right away. Seems like she has lots of experience with pups, she also works at a doggie daycare which is awesome. Mylo will most definitely stay again in the near future.”


“Kathy was amazing with my dog Penny!!! Penny is a 1yr old Jack russell mix and has lots of energy, but Kathy played with her, went for walks and gave Penny lots of snuggles! Kathy was professional, caring, responsible and made me feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pictures throughout the boarding process along with updates of how Penny was doing. I can’t wait to rebook with her & highly recommend her! 🐶😊”


“Yunshu took great care of our dog. She was so communicative and descriptive of the full day. We also got lots of video to see that everything was going well.

“Henry loved his stay with Keisha! She was all and more than I could of expected I am absolutely pleased with Keasha and highly recommend her We will surely call on her again ??”

We will definitely be her returning clients!”

“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved.

Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
