Drew is AWESOME! She took fantastic care of Baxter and made him feel loved! Even though he has separation anxiety and can be a butthead at times. 20/10!

My anxious pup Ginger had the best time with Marisol and Twinkie. I was so happy to see how much Ginger enjoyed herself. Marisol is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond to ensure your dog gets all they need while you are away. I am so grateful for her loving kindness and I will book again for sure.

Heather’s the best. She provided a clean, organized and, most importantly, caring environment for my pup while I was out of town for a few days. He got along great with her house dog and she kept me updated. I highly recommend her.

I'm new to boarding my dogs so I was a bit apprehensive. She takes good care of my dogs and keeps them happy when I'm not around. That's all I can ask for. The fact she is walking distance is a bonus.

We feel very lucky to have found Rose and her family. They welcomed Auggie right in, and we could see the mutual affection when we picked him up. Auggie is going to miss all of his friends at the Pawlace, but we will make sure to visit again soon. Thank you for taking great care of our Juicebox, Rose!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They took such amazing care of my dog over the 10 days I was away, and it truly gave me peace of mind the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care about animals. One of the things I appreciated most was the regular updates—they consistently sent videos and messages, which made me feel connected and reassured. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for my dog was in those updates meant everything to me. It was obvious he was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone to meet all his needs so thoroughly. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and dedication they showed, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!

About: I currently have a little guy who is known in our neighborhood as spunky, playful and a cuddle bug! My partner and I work from home, so we are available all day to care for your pet. We love a good walk, and pride ourselves on being attentive to the little ones. My partner and I work from home, I am a mental health therapist and she is a home designer. I work about 4 hours a day Mon-Thur with Fridays off, so regular walks and playtime are a part of our routine, as well as lounging and resting with the pups. Our community would say we spoil our little guy! Toys, treats, outdoor lounging are a part of our routine. We have a fenced yard, with opportunities for exploration. I am familiar with the neighborhood, and live walking distance from the harbor. We have mapped the local vets and emergency locations, and living walking distance from Wilco and Lucky Dog in case your pup needs some extra attention.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 55 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up and working on a farm, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. This experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, recognize their needs, and provide safe, compassionate care. Dogs and cats have always been part of my family, and I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am a longtime follower of Cesar Millan's principles of calm, confident leadership and believe that consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions help pets feel secure and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you're away, or attentive overnight care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I am semi-retired and have significant flexibility and control over my time. I can adjust my daily activities to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Because I manage my own schedule, I am able to provide reliable, attentive care and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I enjoy spending time with animals and appreciate the opportunity to stay active while helping pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Dogs in my care are treated as part of the family and are welcome on the furniture if boarding in my home. I believe pets are happiest when they feel included, comfortable, and surrounded by positive attention. My home is located next to a beautiful waterfront walking path, providing a safe and enjoyable setting for regular exercise and outdoor time. All dogs are walked on a leash to ensure their safety while exploring the area. I carefully monitor each pet's needs, energy level, and comfort to make sure they receive the right balance of activity, companionship, and rest. I understand the trust pet owners place in a caregiver, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.

Amanda did awesome caring for our Boston Terrier, Moses. She sent photo updates regularly and even let him sleep with them in the bed after I let her know how much he loves to snuggle and be close to humans! I feel like she knows what she is doing as she cares for all the dogs needs that are in her care! I recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their pup and I will definitely be calling again to board, Moses. (probably towards the end of March) :)

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

Once again Kenai had a wonderful, caring, enjoyable visit with her favorite dog sitter, Andrea. ;:@) I’m so thankful to have a sitter for Kenai whom she loves seeing and being with. Kenai gets sad when she sees me haul out the suitcases and pack for vacation. But when I drive up to Andrea’s to drop her off she gets so excited and is a happy gal to see and stay with her. Andrea follows all Kenai’s care instructions and gives her extra loves plus daily walks and photos. Thank you Andrea from me and Kenai.

We had been struggling to find the right boarder for our anxious dog, and we’re SO glad we found Tobi. We really appreciated that she checked in with updates as he settled in, and before long, he was clearly happy and relaxed! He usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers and isn’t a big snuggler, so it’s a testament to their skill with anxious dogs that I got multiple pics of him snuggling with different people on their big cozy couch. We loved the photo updates, and we had a relaxing trip knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely rebook!
