“Jude and I had a great experience with Janelle! I am a nervous pet parent, but she was very communicative and reassuring. I would book again!”


2. Bridgid M.
“Bridgid has watched our dog Tala many times and our dog always enjoys our time with her! Bridgid takes her for long walks and makes sure she gets lots of love when we are gone. Bridgid is friendly and reliable!”


3. Viktoria & Bence S.
“My dog is amazing but not an easy one for sure. Even after many schooling and private lessons he still has his own ideas and can get distracted by everything. He always needs a 100 % attention or he will do something that he shouldnt… Viki always handled him with ease and at the good level of firmness. The way I can tell that its good for both because they both get very happy and excited too see each other! I can leave my precious with her for a weekend or for a week and theres never an issue. Maybe she could send more pictures while im away, I mean come on, 1 picture a day? Jokes aside, happy to recommend her!”


4. Chang P.

“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.”

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered.

Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”

Jisoo sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated, and I could see that my boy was having a great time. I will definitely be booking daycare with Jisoo again in the future!”

Faith's genuine love for dogs were evident in every interaction. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was relaxed and content when we returned. If you're looking for someone who is both reliable and affectionate with your furry friend, Faith is the perfect choice!”


10. Nicholas M.
About: I love dogs and have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Beagle/Corgi mix and currently have a 7 year old Jack Russell. My schedule is very flexible. I ensure a safe, stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible schedule and work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m also available every evening and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. I have a dog myself so my apartment is dog friendly as is the area I live in. There is a dog park a 10 minute walk away from me that I frequent. I should be able to accommodate just about anything your dog would need. I’m also totally okay with staying at your home to watch your dog when preferred.
