We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.

We live several hours away and needed someone to watch our pup while we went on a cruise. I searched for someone and found Yulia! She had experience with dogs, she has no dogs, she takes one client at a time plus dogs are allowed on the bed. PERFECT 👌 Yulia knew how hard it was for me to leave Taco. His first time. She sent photos right away! She let me know how he was feeling and how he did throughout the day and night. We had awesome communication during his stay plus photos and videos. They truly helped me. He went on long walks and received a lot of loving from both Julia and her husband. Mr. Taco also learned a new trick!! She taught him to lay down! I'm truly thankful and grateful to have found Yulia. I hope she's available when I need her next! I may change my schedule to fit hers! Warm hugs. ❤️

About: I've been pet sitting for 20 years. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. I adore all animals and would love to care for your fur baby. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

Adrienne and her husband took great care of our dog Laika for 8 days. She was very communicative, sent us pictures regularly throughout the stay, and it was clear from the first meet and greet that she was very attentive and caring with the dogs she took care of (Laika immediately took to her and Phoebe, her dog). Phoebe is such a sweet dog as well and seemed to have gotten along really well with Laika. Would definitely leave Laika in their care again in the future!

Soejong was so sweet with Jamie. He is very nervous and thus was his first boarding experience. We had to have repairs done in the apartment and so I had to board him. She sent me lots of photos and he was being very brave exploring at night which I thought was a good sign that he liked her (otherwise he would have stayed hidden). If I have to board him again, I would definitely use Sojeong.

This was my first time leaving my Noodle, my 2 year old Goldendoodle, with a dog sitter. I was a bit nervous but Sevan made the experience wonderful! He has a large space with a backhouse where the dogs stay inside when it's hot outside. Noodle stayed for 2 nights. Sevan sent updates, photos, and videos multiple times per day. Sevan made us feel at ease. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dog safety and wellbeing. Highly recommend!

Katrina has taken care of my elderly dog for two weeks while I was on an Asia trip. She was the best person for my dog to look after - kept up with the consistent communication, checked up on his health, and gave him the best walks. When I picked up my dog, he looked SO happy and even looked better!! My dog currently misses her after we left so I need to book her again soon!! 😂

She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!”

Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!

Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)

Booking with her was a breeze and I know that in the future, I won't hesitate to book Jonalyn again.

We feel so grateful to have found Jenn to care for our beloved Miko while we were away for two weeks. From the start, Jenn and her family welcomed him with so much love and truly treated him like one of their own. We received daily updates and got to see all the fun moments Miko was having, which really showed how much genuine care and attention he was getting. We honestly cannot express enough how at ease we felt knowing Miko was in such great hands. Jenn went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family.

Sevan’s passion for dogs was immediately evident from our very first conversation. It was clear he’s not just a dog sitter—he’s a true expert who genuinely understands and loves working with dogs. That impression was powerfully reinforced when my husband and I dropped Mickey off. The moment we walked in, we were amazed by how thoughtfully Sevan had designed his space specifically for dogs’ comfort, safety, and happiness. Every detail showed care and professionalism. We felt completely confident leaving Mickey in his hands. Highly recommended!
