“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“Ashley was a fantastic host for Oscar. She was very responsive and kept me updated on what he was up to each day. She treated him like he was one of her own and I felt extremely comfortable leaving him with her and her two dogs. I look forward to leaving him with them again!”
“My older spoiled dogs warmed up very easily to Elaine, and became relaxed and comfortable easily. I was delighted to see, as they were used to in home dog sitters and this was the first time I brought them to a sitter. Then when we picked them up they were very happy, peaceful and joyful. I knew they had received excellent care from Elaine. I highly recommend Elaine and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I love being around dogs and getting to know each of their unique personalities. Some dogs may be shy and need extra time to feel comfortable, while others are super friendly and playful. I believe being patient, caring, and understanding is important when taking care of any pet. I also love seeing how dogs communicate through their actions and watching them learn and grow every day. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule. I’m available after 4 PM on Mondays and Fridays, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. I do have a part-time job, but I’m able to organize my schedule around pet care. I always make sure to keep my calendar updated so I can stay organized and avoid any misunderstandings with pet owners. I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they need. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. I always want the pet and their owner to feel comfortable with me. I make sure to ask questions whenever I’m unsure about something rather than guessing, because I believe communication helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps pets safe. I also love keeping owners updated by sending photos and letting them know how their pet is doing. My goal is to create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. 🐶❤️ I know trust takes time to build, and I hope that once you get to know me and see how I care for your pet, you’ll feel completely comfortable and confident leaving them with me.🩷
“We were so lucky to find Lily! Their family was absolutely gracious and Mio had a blast! Lily provided plenty of photos and we felt confident leaving him in good hands. We will 100% book again! Thank you Lily!”
“Great Boarding experience - Our two 8 year old golden retrievers boarded with Kevin and Ana for 11 days. After a successful meet and greet followed by a doggy daycare visit to acclimatize our dogs to Kevin and Ana and their dogs, we opted for the pick up and drop off service to make the separation process less stressful for our dogs. Kevin asked thoughtful questions about the contingent medication during pickup. Straight away we could tell from the videos after their arrival at Kevin and Ana's house that our dogs were more relaxed vs. the initial daycare visit. Kevin and Ana provided video and updates of our dogs during their stay. The best endorsement of Kevin as a boarding host was provided by one of our dogs at drop off time. After cheerily greeting us, she kept returning to Kevin for more attention as we chatted, clearly signaling a top-level canine approval rating.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own! 🐾 I do most of my work from home so I am available most days at any time to help out with any dog activities you need! Open to weekdays and Weekends. I love finding new areas and parks for long walks and open space. Our apartment is very clean and has space for any pet to rest and get comfy.

This is the first time I have even left my 19 year old cat with anyone for boarding. I was reassured upon meeting them and within 15 minutes of leaving, I was able to see him exploring his surroudings calmly. I received many more pictures and videos which gave me piece of mind that my baby was safe and happy. I would wirthout a doubt recommend them to my friends with confidence. They are wonderful people and I will definatley book with them again.”
“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”

We were blown away by Katherine’s care of our girls! She took such good care of them and we felt very at peace leaving our cat and dog with her. She sent pictures 3 times a day with a little update and was super responsive the entire time. She asked all the right questions and if we lived in town we would definitely use her as our go to sitter! If you’re nervous about hiring a pet sitter, hire Katherine!
I was out of town for a weekend and needed someone for dog boarding, so of course I went to Wendy! She was great with my dog and followed the care instructions I gave her. She provided updates throughout the day, was flexible with drop off/pick up time, and made things easy for me by dropping off my dog at my home. Wendy is great!
Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cats, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!
Sarah was super friendly and available on short notice, which we really appreciated. We recently moved to the U.S., so our dog is still adjusting to all the new surroundings and changes. Sarah kept me updated and let me know that he was quite restless, and she really tried to understand him and respond to his needs. I’m grateful for her patience and care!
