“My dogs loved their stay with Lindsey and Jose. I am honestly so glad they were able to stay with them since they also have dogs to play with. We constantly got picture updates of the pups and I was just happy to see that they were happy as well. They definitely got a lot of love while we were gone. Thank you guys so much.”

“Left our 2 kitties with Christian and they were very well taken care of! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, and treated them like her own. Would definitely recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”

“Kristall was wonderful. She was quick to respond when setting up the stay. She also kept me informed with pictures while we were gone. Our dog seemed super happy. We would 100% book with Kristall again.”

“Carmen was everything you could ask for in a dog sitter! She watched my two dogs Sirius and Bambi, and I know they had a blast. She has a big back yard which they loved to explore and play in, and a perfect extra room for their crates and beds. She offered to do a meet and greet which was much appreciated where my dogs and her dog Lily could get to know each other. It took some time for them to all get along, but Carmen gave them and us as much time as they needed. She sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos which we adored and would always be looking forward too. Carmen said she was down to watch our dogs in the future if we needed a sitter, which is great to have that peace of mind knowing our dogs are safe with someone who cares.”

“These two are phenomenal. Daily and sometimes twice a day updates (pics). Everyone of them my fluff ball was happy. Human interaction was great as well. Even got a gift bag with treats to take home. Thank you guys!!!”

“Susan took great care of Max! Needed a last minute sitter and she was very accommodating. She even gave him goodies to take home, which he absolutely loved. Thank you so much!!”

“Penguin love Ms Beverly and her girls! She moved right in for the 4 days we were gone! I know she got so much attention and affection! I gave Ms Beverly a cash tip 🤗”

“Meyoung took such great care of our energetic puppy! The photos and videos we got our girl looked genuinely happy, and the communication was great! Would happily book again :)”

About: Hey there! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individuals, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! I'm pets are always welcome in my home! I live in a gated condominium that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
“Our Yorkie had a wonderful stay at Katya’s Paws Paradise. Katya attentively listened to all the details and special requests regarding our pup’s care, and she followed through on them. We received daily updates and photos during his stay. Katya’s own fur baby is a delightful, intelligent, and welcoming companion to any dog. We are eagerly looking forward to booking our next stay with them. Thank you for creating a home away from home for our fur baby!”

“Sammy is absolutely awesome!!! She watched Fisher for daycare and then provided amazing boarding for him while we were on vacation. Our dog Fisher is really bonded to people and can have separation anxiety when we are away or if he isn't getting a lot of love and human interaction. He also has a ton of energy and is just a big dog!! We always share this information with our Rovers but at times we have still seen that Fisher was nervous or wasn't the most relaxed while we were away. With Sammy we knew he was in such great hands; we have never seen him so happy with a sitter!!! Sammy sent us tons of great updates, photos, and videos, and was really attentive to us as well as to Fisher. She truly cared about what Fisher needed to feel safe and happy and we feel she went above and beyond in the care she showed him. We are so happy to have found her. We will absolutely be using her again, and Fisher will be excited to see his new friends again too!! Sammy is the best! ❤️🐾”

About: I have owned my own dogs for over a decade and love watching my friends dogs. Now that I am retired I would love to watch more dogs in my home. I am an artist and spend the day painting and playing with my fur kids. I have a comfortable area and looking to share it. I’m retired and can spend all my time caring for your babies. My home is set up for the comfort and convenience of the dogs. I try to accommodate my dogs needs with lots of outside time and they love walks too. They are able to sleep all day if they want.
“Rachel and her daughter took extremely good care of my fur-baby. Unfortunately, during her stay, my puppy had a tummy bug. I could not have asked for more compassionate or kinder carers than this family. She looked after my baby like it was her own. Forever grateful that she received the care that she did from such an amazing family.”

“Laura watched my four year old foxhound, Piper over Spring Break. Piper was homesick at first but Laura took special care to help her get adjusted. (She sent me pictures of my 45 lb dog sitting on her lap!) Laura was very communicative sending daily texts, photos, and videos. Piper looked so cute in her St. Patty’s Day scarf she provided. The dogs were very relaxed and were having a good time. Also, her house is away from a busy road for dog walk safety. Laura even made the extra effort to wash Piper’s dog bed before she went home. I highly recommend Laura! She is very caring and attentive.”

“5 stars hands down. Mr. Brandon was really kind taking care of my fur baby Gordo. He kept him overnight I even forgot to pack food and he provided a meal for my son. Love your service and definitely coming back to book.”

“Thank you for taking care of our Bella.. she is skittish around a lot of adults, but she can definitely tell who a dog lover is.She warmed up to you quickly. Thank you!!”

“Toni is the most caring human there is. She provides updates and feedback daily. I was worried about leaving my new rescue for the first time, but she was in the best hands! She worked with her to settle and it was a great time for Sadie. She knew instinctively what she needed and provided it to her lovingly. The days spent with her taught Sadie to be more settled at home and to respect boundaries. I cannot speak highly enough about the care, love and compassion Toni gives.”
