“Our dog stayed with America for 2.5 weeks and we can tell he had great time. He was well cared for and we had constant updates, pictures, and videos. I am very comfortable to leave him with America & her family in the future. Very happy the way our dog was cared for!”

“Seung took excellent care of my little Chloe and, as I could see in the photos she sent, Chloe had a wonderful time with playing Seung's children and two other dogs who were there. Seung gradually introduced the dogs to each other to make sure they all got along before letting them out in the backyard together. I felt my Chloe was safe and happy at Seung's house.”



“Brittany was amazing with our fur boy while we were on vacation! She and Indy took him in as their own!

If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, Penelope is the one to choose!”


“Sam loved staying at Bryn's home. He was introduced to cats and he even tried to show his calm demeanor. Bryn was very welcoming and attentive with Sam. Her backyard is setup for a big boy like Sam to run and play with her other dogs. This is the first time he came home happily worn out. Thank you Bryn for sitting with my furbaby Sam.”

“Chelsea and her family took very good care of my dog Levi. He can be a little too energetic at times but she was able to handle him just fine. Great communication and pictures throughout the weeks.

“Purti was an amazing sitter for our dog , I’m so pleased we found her. Pippi was very well cared for and we got regular updates and photos. We will be using her again.”


About: I have been a pet owner of dogs, cats, & more so I understand the comfort of knowing your fur babies are being cared & loved on. I love giving frequent updates & sending pics to give you peace of mind while away. I work outside of home Monday-Thursday but have flexibility to come home during the day for check in and potty breaks. Friday-Sunday I am home all day. I have a fenced yard and one friendly 5-year-old small dog. We have dog beds and don’t mind pups on our couches and chairs if that is comfortable for them.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! She took great care of my fur baby”


“Macy loves staying with Candance when we go out of town! Candace and her family always take good care of her and sends us updates during her stay.”
