“Wow… I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so at peace with the frequent updates and photos of our dog Lupo. The communication was excellent- lupo was picked up today happier than when we left and fit right in with taco and Ragnar. Thank you both for treating Lupo like one of your own. I would highly recommend their care to all my family and friends.”


“Maureen was great! We had bad service where we were but she continued to update us throughout the day about pur baby boy. She sent pictures and videos and he was having a great time with Blue and Bruno! We were so happy he felt right at home and she help out Blue feel comfortable. We will definitely book with her again whether it’s for doggy daycare with his two new friends or boarding. Thank you again Maureen for treating our Blue like he was your own!”

“Jenny and her family were so welcome and loving to our pup! She was super communicative and really easy to schedule. Would book w her again in a heartbeat.”


“I simply couldn’t ask for a better home to leave our dog. Lisa is an absolute professional, and the entire family gives Odin so much love, it is incredible. We always look forward to the photos and videos of Odin playing with his buddy Bear, snuggling with the kids, or enjoying a walk. It’s great to know that when we go on vacation, our dog also gets to go on vacation! I am so grateful I found Lisa.”


“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”



“This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have Xinzhi take care of Ruby over the weekend! Ruby had a blast hanging out with Xinzhi’s dog Bella. Xinzhi took great care of Ruby and she felt at home with her hospitality! She kept me updated through out the weekend posting pictures and videos of Ruby, taking her for long walks and outdoor plays and ensuring Ruby was comfortable just like being at home. I did not worry a bit about Ruby! I will use Xinzhi again for Ruby!”


“Tanvi is super star host. We left Sailor with her for three days. He was very happy and relaxed during his stay and we received daily pic and video update everyday. Knowing your pup is happy while you are away, is a great feeling. I would definitely choose her again and recommend her to other pet parents.”


“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

“Amy was great with Max! For an older Chihuahua mix, he can be curmudgeonly, unless he's sleeping :-) Amy is very communicative, and sent several photos a videos. I recommend Amy for your dog boarding needs!”


“I was visiting from out of town and Mansi was a great sitter! My dog was comfortable with her and played well with her dog Cookie who is well behaved. I highly recommend Mansi and will definitely use her in the future when I visit the area!”

Xin was the perfect sitter. She went above and beyond by providing detailed updates of my puppy. She has great communication skills and was super attentive. She spoiled my puppy Banjo with lots of attention and treats. My puppy was happy and exhausted. She left me a detailed pamphlet of how his boarding went. I highly recommend Xin and will use again for future services.

Bruno loved his time with Ryan! He got to play ball and hang out with him while he worked for a while and even went on a hike in the woods. We will most definitely be trusting Ryan the next time Bruno needs a sleepover while we are out of town!

I have used Amy’s services several times and will continue to use her for our future needs. I completely trust that my dog is getting the best care possible.

Alexis and her family were such kind people. They accommodated us last minute. Kept us updated on how the pups were doing and sent pictures. Great communication and punctuality.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Birdie received while I was away! Kate was awesome - attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I got plenty of updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Birdie was clearly in great hands, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!

Jae is a great sitter! Our dog Blu has a great time when staying at their home. They are very communicative and send plenty of videos and pictures while we are away. Highly recommend!

Jennifer is our go-to dogsitter. Period. We’ve used her services several times and are always satisfied with her care of our little girl. Highly recommend!

Raquel is very responsible and friendly with my dog. Every time she sends me a picture I see how much Lucky is happy and enjoying his time. Raquel takes amazing care of Lucky and treats him like her own. It’s such a relief to know that our baby is in good hands while we are away. I highly recommend her and definitely I will be booking with her again.

Lisa and her family were wonderful sitters to our mini poodle. This was the first time we were away from our pup for more than a day and we were naturally worried about how it would go. From the first communications before and through booking, Lisa was kind and reassuring. She offered a meet and greet which was very much appreciated and left me with no concerns about booking with her. During the actual stay, we received daily updates with multiple pictures which showed that our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for by the whole family, including their gentle family dog, Bear. Lisa went out of her way to maintain our schedule and pup’s preferences and all of this gave us a peace of mind which allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. We will happily book with Lisa and her family again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving home-based sitter.

Angela was great with our Rocky. She was in constant communication and took great care of him. We will definitely use her again!
