About: Hi! I’m a dog lover with a friendly Samoyed who absolutely loves having other dogs around. If your pup enjoys playtime, they’ll have a built-in best friend here! I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your dog will be treated like family. Whether it’s walks, play sessions, or just relaxing at home, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need based on their personality and routine. I’m very mindful about introductions and always prioritize safety and comfort, especially for new dogs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have—feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, or anything else that helps your pup feel at home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in a happy, caring environment. My days are structured, active, and fun (with plenty of downtime too!). I start bright and early with outdoor playtime and walks between 6–9am while it’s still cool and calm outside. Around midday, we’ll spend another hour playing or head out on a little adventure depending on the weather. In the afternoons (4–7pm), it’s playtime again—our favorite game is catching wiffle balls in the backyard! I work from home so your dog will get constant supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I have a relaxed schedule that allows me to be very present and flexible with each dog’s needs. (I occasionally go into the office on Tuesdays, but otherwise we’re home full-time.) My home is very dog-safe and puppy-proofed (I’ve designed it this way for our own pup), and I’m extremely mindful about safety. There is no access to unsafe or human food, and I maintain a clean, controlled environment at all times. I’m happy to follow your exact routine—feeding schedules, crate training, medications, or anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also have an XL crate available if your pup prefers or requires one.

Miguel & Lisa have been absolutely phenomenal! My dog couldn’t wait to come back the second day. & They handled him eating a gallon of cat food so graciously. I wasn’t worried at all about Jäger while he was with them all day. Definitely will be a regular!

Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.

Alexis and Katie were amazing to Louie (my dog). Louie was tired yet very happy when returning home, and I know it was as a result of playing a ton. Alexis was very communicative and shared plenty of great pictures that made me feel very comfortable. We will be booking again in the future, and I truly recommend them if you are looking for a great dog sitter

Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.

Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Christina took care of my pug Ollie over Easter, and I had a great experience. She was punctual for both dropoff and pickup, and her communication was always quick. What impressed me most was how attentive she was. Ollie is dog-friendly but can sometimes be a bit much with very playful dogs, so I try to limit those interactions. Christina handled this perfectly by taking him to her apartment’s dog park only when no other dogs were around, so he could still enjoy playing fetch safely. When Ollie came home, he was clearly very happy and in a great mood. During pickup, Christina also gave me a very detailed update about his day which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Christina. She is by far one of the most attentive and detail-oriented sitters I’ve ever met!

Paige was absolutely wonderful with Oreo! If you know anything about separation anxiety, you know it takes a special kind of patience and attentiveness, and Paige delivered that in spades. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins throughout the stay, which honestly put our minds at ease more than we expected. Oreo looked happy, relaxed, and totally at home. We never had to wonder how she was doing because Paige was always one step ahead. We will 100% be booking with her again. Oreo approves!

We want to thank you both for your wonderful care during our first trial day. We could see he had a great time and really likes you both. Especially, we appreciated your following our instructions regarding his water intake. Since he often forgets to drink when he is around other dogs, we were so pleased to see that when he came home, he only drank a little bit rather than gulping down a whole dish of water. We are so happy to find you as his dog sitter. Thank you and see you again!
