Susan was absolutely wonderful! She was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly accommodating to our fur baby Kuku’s needs. He’s 12 years old and on medication, and she handled everything with so much care. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. We completely trust her with Kuku and are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend her for your four-legged loved ones! She’s amazing!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. My family always had pets. As an owner of my own pets, I understand the love and attention they need. I offer the flexibility and loving space needed to cater to any needs of your family pet. I would love them like they’re my own. I was a nurse before staying home with my kids, who are now in school full time. I’d be home all day with your fur baby so they’d have all my attention for play, cuddles, & walks. I have a fenced in back yard if your fur baby likes to play outside, or plenty of room inside my house to play. My family has an almost 3 year old goldendoodle who is the sweetest pup. She would enjoy having friends to play with.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have been lucky enough to share my life with so many wagging tails and happy paws. I only take one pup a day, guaranteeing undivided attention, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and love. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or just some quiet time together, I make sure every moment is special. I work from home, which means I can give your doggy my full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick belly rub between meetings, a game of fetch during lunch, or just being there to provide comfort and companionship, your pooch will never feel lonely. My home is a doggy paradise with over 1000 sqft of space for your fur baby to run around. For added safety, I have dog gates to create secure spaces, and a chest full of toys to keep your pooch happy and engaged. My apartment building has a huge unfenced backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised playtime on leash and explore to their heart’s content. It is a wonderful pet-friendly area with plenty of parks and walking opportunities. I work from home, which means I can give your doggy my full attention throughout the day.

Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!

I wish I had found Ninoska sooner!! From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive and kind. When I dropped off Barto, he instantly felt at ease with her — which says a lot. Throughout the day, she sent me photos and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and comfortable he was. That brought me so much peace of mind! Now I’m just so happy (and relieved!) to have found a safe, loving place where Barto feels truly cared for. Thank you so much, Ninoska, for all the love and attention — we will definitely be coming back always!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

Your pet will have plenty of room to settle in my home. I have a dedicated quiet space where your pet can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. My home is clean, organized and set up with pets in mind. My friendly dog and cats enjoy the company of other animals, so it's always a cozy, social atmosphere. I'm also big on communication and will make sure you receive plenty of photos and updates throughout your pet's visit.

Jinghong is amazing! She always keeps my girlfriend and me updated on our little man’s progress throughout the day. She sends photos and videos so we can see how much fun our golden retriever is having. Her dog, Yogurt, is the sweetest dog in the world. He welcomed our little guy with open paws when they first met, and they’ve been playing and hanging out together ever since. It’s been so comforting to know he has such a great buddy. Jinghong takes care of our little man like he’s one of her own. She always asks how we’d like him cared for and checks in to make sure she’s meeting our expectations—never overstepping, just showing genuine care and professionalism. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Jinghong and Yogurt for our little guy! 😊
