“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”

“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”

“Thank you Edward for watching Napoleon! And extra thanks for the extra day of watching him because of our flight cancellations. It looked like he had a great time!”


“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”

“My old boy Harley stayed with Nhi for 2 days. Nhi followed all of my instructions concerning Harley's care. She was very loving with her care for him. She really went above and beyond to do her very best for Harley. You will not find a better person to care for beloved family member.”

“I must say this was the first time using a boarding service that was not the ordinary pet boarding organization. So I was a little hesitant using a service through an app no less. I found Shannon and she turned out to be an absolute gem. She's very accommodating, communicates, send pics, and you can see the passion she has for taking care of your pet. Overall, just puts you at ease during the process which is important to me since I travel. Needless to say, would probably not be going back to the old boarding services.”

“Our boy had a great stay! It was clear he was well cared for and got lots of exercise, attention, and love. He came home happy and relaxed. We’d definitely book again!”

“Megan is simply amazing! Her communication is perfect and she's flexible with drop-off and pickup times. We've used her twice now and will certainly come back.”

“Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed her stay; she played all day, and I was always in the loop, thanks to their super affectionate messages. Such an incredible family! We will definitely be back. I have no words to thank them!”


“Wendy was amazing and our dog had so much fun with her! She was constantly keeping us updated with pictures and he even came home with a new bandana!”

“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”

“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”

“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”

“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”

“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”

No words to explain how amazing she truly was as a dog sitter! My boy Marshmallow had amazing time playing with her doggie! He was worn out and the next day was ready to go back! She kept me updated throughout the day of his stay! I highly recommend and will use her again!

Thank you Meaghan! Missy🐕 had a great time with you and Bella and new friends. From the meet and greet we knew she’ll have all your love. How we wish we’ve known you earlier. We appreciate the updates and photos. We had a worry free vacay. We’ll definitely book again our Missy with Meaghan when we go to our upcoming 2wk vacay. I highly recommend her^-^

Our family had to take an unexpected trip and Ms. Feyi O. was available and willing to help. She sent pictures and gave a detailed summary of how our puppy was doing. She has a very nice space specifically for our puppy. Without hesitation she offered to cater to our precious puppy’s needs. Definitely booking again and I know that our baby will be taken care of without any worries.

I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. My Nico (a miniature long haired dachshund) was in great hands! We got photo updates and quick responses anytime we checked in. He was always happy and taken care of! We could tell from the photos that he was having a great time. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks for loving our sweet pup!
