Great couple! Very responsive. They really took care of my dog and I can tell that my dog had a great time at their home. I received the photos of my dog every day and knew that my dog was treated very well. Highly recommend!

Sarah was wonderful with my dog, super attentive and clearly cared a lot. She took him out on hikes and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which I really appreciated. He came back happy and relaxed. Would happily book with her again.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.

Chiara is a gem of a dog sitter for my super senior Mighty Mouse. He had an update on his feeding routine and she was on top of it. She was very patient with him and his needs and kept me updated the whole stay. She provided peace of mind knowing that he was in her kind hands!

My doodle Maya boarded with Jifu and Jessica for 12 days over the 4th of July. They updated me with pictures which was what I needed while away from my dog. They took good care of my dog. I like the fact that they also have a dog that was a good companion for my Maya. I would definitely use their services again for future boarding.

Wow Tillana is amazing! Not just a friend to all dogs, but to us humans too. She took such great care of Fifi for 3 whole weeks while I was out of town. Fifi came back exhausted from having so much fun. Tillana was amazing at sending me daily pics and updates of Fifi, as well as asking lots of questions about Fifi’s care. She really went above and beyond to make sure Fifi was well taken care of and I knew what was going on with her at all times. I cannot recommend Tillana enough and will definitely be asking her to watch Fifi again!

Cali loved her overnight boarding time with Alexa D. This was my first time as a Dog Mom using Rover and Alexa made me feel totally at ease leaving my high energy pup with her. She was an attentive communicator and patient with all of my questions. We had a meet and greet beforehand where we shared information and anything noteworthy about Cali. Alexa's knowledge of dogs, her experience, and all of the ways she cares for them were impressive. Thank you Alexa for taking such care of my baby girl!

Margareth is an absolutely wonderful host! She took such loving care of our Dudu during her stay. Since we don’t have a US driver’s license, she and her mom kindly went out of their way to pick Dudu up and drop her back home. She kept us updated regularly with sweet messages and videos, so we always knew Dudu was happy and safe. We truly appreciate everything she did for our pup.
