“Reliable and friendly! Benson seems to really enjoy his time with her. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative during my pup’s stay!”


5. Juan H.

“Juan is a lovely person and clearly cares about and loves all animals. He was great with my dog, who has some accidents and is shy/timid. She came clean, brushed, healthy, and full of smiles. I will be using Juan again!”


6. Judith H.

“Cooper had a great time with Judith and her family. We booked Judith for a last minute doggy daycare and I felt comfortable leaving cooper with her right off the bat. Will definitely use her again.”


7. Rosa C.


“Took my kitty in on very short notice and was very gracious when a snow storm rolled in and was unable to pick him up on his original end date. Thank you so much Rosa!”


8. Carrigan M.


“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”


9. Jenner J.

“Kept me up to date with everything, amazing caretaker”


10. monika m.


“Monika was so so great! Roger (our pup) had the best time and came back super happy. I got lots of cute pics, and can’t wait to have Roger visit Monika and her family soon!!!!”




11. Elvia C.

“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”


12. Yenis D.

“Yenis was wonderful! She took great care of our pup and it was clear that he had a nice time with her and her dog. We would absolutely use her again!”


13. Elaine D.


“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.”




14. Richard G.

“Great location and setup for this service. Richard was great - sent update photos throughout the 4 night stay. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thanks!”


15. Yushin "Tina" P.

“Our dog Piper’s stay was more like a vacation. As an older dog, we are always worried leaving and we felt incredibly comfortable over her one week stay with Tina. The attention they gave her was top notch. When she was too slow to be on a leash for daily walks, they took her to the beach in a dog backpack so she got fresh air. She had an ear infection and we were immediately notified and they helped to treat it while also updating us daily on how it was improving. We had daily photos and updates with wonderful communication. We would absolutely recommend them for other dog owners and will be using them again in the near future.”


16. Frank A.

“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”


17. Kevin & Ana C.


“Kevin took great care of Ginny! He provided frequent updates, photos, and videos, and she always looked like she was having a great time relaxing or playing with Kevin’s dogs. It was great having a sense of confidence that Ginny was in good hands, and we’ll definitely have Kevin watch Ginny for us again.”


18. Lesley A.
“We have a very energetic 1 year old Australian Shepard puppy and a 3 year old Shetland Sheepdog. We hired Lesley last year when our family went on vacation and have continued working with her ever since. She is very passionate and caring, and is always on time. She takes the dogs on walks and makes sure they’re fed and always have water in their bowls, and the dogs love her! They wait by the door for her every time she comes and the Shepard even sits in the window to see her.”


19. Oriana Z.

“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my dogs, Taco and Mochi, at Ori's house, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. House environment: The house and backyard are clean, spacious, and dog friendly. There are plenty of play areas both indoors and outdoors (1 acre), equipped with toys and safe fencing. I appreciated the variety of settings—Taco and Mochi had the options to socialize with other dogs or relax in a quieter area when they needed a break. Ori family: The Ori family are truly dedicated to their furry guests. They took the time to get to know Taco and Mochi and their needs, asking about their routines, preferences, and any special care instructions (Mochi has allergies). It was clear they are passionate about dogs and ensure each dog feels at home. Updates: I loved that they offered a range of activities, from playtime to hiking/walks. They also have regular updates and photos/videos (at least twice a day!), which eased my mind while I was away (outside us for more than three weeks). Seeing Taco and Mochi having a blast with new friends made my day! Care: Taco and Mochi came home happy and healthy, which is all I could ask for. They followed all of my feeding instructions perfectly. It was evident that they received plenty of love and attention. Overall Experience: I highly recommend Ori to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring boarding house. The peace of mind I felt knowing Taco and Mochi were in such great hands was invaluable. I will definitely be returning for our next boarding experience! Thank you, Ori Family, for taking such wonderful care of my babies.”


20. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is a great caregiver because she is reliable, caring, and attentive. She treats each dog as if they were her own and asks necessary questions to deliver the best care possible. She is very hardworking and approaches each job with her full effort and attention. She is an excellent caregiver and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”
