“Undram did an amazing job caring for Gizmo. He came home to us so happy and calm. I can tell he was well loved and understood. We were so thrilled after a grueling flight to come home to such a happy pup!”


“Vladimir and Laura were absolutely wonderful with our pup! They were great communicators, consistently keeping us updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our baby was in such caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—highly recommend!”


“Tatiana was the best taking care of both pups. Tatiana came over to meet our dogs and they gravitated towards her calm and loving nature. Thank you for going above and beyond for us.”


“Dar and her wonderful family took great care of Roxie, and checked in with me every day to let me know how she was doing. We would definitely use them again next time we travel.”


“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”


“This is the fourth of fifth time we used Patricia to watch over our dog. We've never had any concerns or worries once we've dropped him off. Patricia is wonderful to work with and loves our furry companion. Thanks as always!”


“My Nash had a tail wagging time. He had friends to play with and found a comfy place to sleep near a big window. Vicky provided regular updates and responding to any questions i had.”


“We really appreciated Christina's professional and accommodating nature. Also I am no expert eventhough we have a dog. Christina seemed to be very in control and much needed with our little spoiled baby. Our diya's pictures looked as if she was quite happy and adjusted in Christina's home and I would strongly recommend Christina as well as would be happy to utilize her if we are traveling next time around. Thank you Christina for being really good with our Diya.”


“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”


“Beth was great! Very easy to communicate with! Rosie had a great time at their house with their dog. They went for a lot of walks and outside time in the fenced in yard”


“Our dog Luna absolutely loved staying with Ewa! She got lots of attention and enjoyed socializing with other dogs. We also appreciated Ewa’s flexibility when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Luna’s stay. This was Luna’s second boarding with Ewa and we will be back again!”


“Cindy and her family took wonderful care of our Archie! She provided updates and pics of Archie during his stay and always communicated with me from the meet & greet to drop off & pickups! They are totally trustworthy and we hope to use Cindy again as our regular Petsitter!”


“Grace was fantastic! She was available last minute and was very accommodating to our changing plans! She ( and her kids) were so welcoming our dog Wrigley. They were so loving and playful. They sent updates and pictures everyday! We will for sure be reaching out again in the future!”


About: I have experience with young dogs and senior dogs. They just melt my heart! My cats are used to dogs. We've had them to recently, I'm home most of the time. I'm retired so can accomodate a dog's needs. I'm looking forward to welcoming a sweet dog for a visit. I'm pretty available to a pet's needs. I would feel a huge responsibility to take care of someone's pet the way I would want mine treated

“Christine was very kind and flexible to our needs. She took care of our dog as it was her own. She also sent us pictures multiple times which my kids love it. Thank you Christine for all of your help.”


About: I’ve been with animals all my life and have cared for dogs, cats and small caged animals. I love animals and if I could have more animals I would. I even work at a doggy day care part time because I love them so much. I’m free most of the day and my schedule should revolve around your animal and their needs. I can accommodate practically anything your pet needs with open arms. At the moment my yard is not fenced in so I just would take them in long walks. I would care to all the needs to the animal and put my all into making them happy.
