“Grace is a dog lover. My dog coco has behavior issues but the minute she met Grace, she surrendered ti her & looked like she had warmed up to everyone at home & to our surprise she had opened up to her kids as well. Dogs can tell who their person is & grace definitely has that energy, it was so effortless to work with her & it's evident that she cares for all dogs like they are her babies. Coco had a blast & it showed through all the photos that grace shared with us. This may have been our first time working with grace but we are coming back up north again & are will be bringing her back to her. She's the best !”
“Sofia is so sweet! We felt immediately at ease and we knew our dog would love her stay! I highly recommend her to watch over your pets! Thank you again!”
“Loa was very well taken care of by Rachel and her family. It was her first stay with them and they asked many questions to ensure her stay was positive and comfortable. They made every effort possible to make it the excellent experience it was. Daily photos and updates were much appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay with Rachel again.”
“Antonio has been great providing updates on the dog and how they are adjusting, which gave me a huge peace in mind, and I would book with him again.”
“Soyoung took great care of Merry! It was my first time having someone take care of my dog. Soyoung's family was very welcoming and loving. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog at all.”
“My Lolo always has a great time with John and his family. She gets lots of walks and attention. John is great with daily updates and always responds promptly if I need anything.”
“Another great stay for Oliver with Michael and family! Thank you for taking such great care of our (13 year old) baby! He is always happy to be dropped off, and is full of stories that he eventually shares with us after days of happy tiredness. Thanks again, will surely book next time!”
“My dogs seem to have a very relaxing stay at Jerica's place. She has experience with having dogs her self, so she had good understanding of how it is to have dogs at her house which made things very smooth for communicating about how to care for my dogs. I would definitely recommend!”
“When I picked Lolli up after a week with Heather, Lolli was giving me the “I can’t wait to tell you about my adventures” energy (not the omg save me mama face). In the many pictures and updates she provided, it was clear Heather was taking care of my fur baby like it was her own. Thanks Heather!”
“Our Copper had a wonderful time with Christy and Cornell! He was very well loved as I could see with all the pictures sent to me. Playing with the kids and evening walks. Will definitely be using this family again!”
“Diana took great care of our Jojo! She was very quick to respond and provided numerous daily updates and provided a very spacious, attentive, and safe environment. Looking forward to having Jojo stay with her in the future.”
“Hey, Leah took good care of my coco like her own pet. Received pictures and sometimes videos everyday. I would keep coco with her in future and also recommend her to my friends for sure.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know every pup has their own personality – whether they're a playful ball of energy or a cozy couch companion. I'll care for your dog like they're my own, with all the belly rubs, fun walks, and patient attention they deserve. Having my own dog has taught me the little things that matter most – sticking to their routine, knowing their favorite scratch spots, and understanding when they need extra comfort. You'll get regular updates with photos so you can see how much fun we're having while you're away! My schedule is very flexible! Since I work from home Monday and Friday, I'm available throughout the day for walks and playtime. Weekends are completely open for pet care too. Your dog would get: • Morning, afternoon, and evening potty breaks/walks • Lunchtime play sessions (perfect for breaking up my workday!) • Plenty of attention between my meetings • Weekend adventures at the park I can easily adjust to your dog's normal routine - just let me know their preferred schedule!" I provide loving, active care for your dog every day! I'll take them on regular walks (we have a great park right next to my townhouse - my own dog goes there daily for playtime and adventures), give them plenty of play sessions, gentle brushing, and even teeth brushing if needed. Your pup will get loads of attention and affection - While I live in a townhouse, we have safe indoor space and immediate access to outdoor fun. My own dog is happy, well-exercised and socialized, and yours will be too!
“Our dog found new parents. They were the most caring and loving care takers possible! They truly put so much effort and love into their time with her. They worried and cared for her as if she was their own child. Daily and in depth updates with pictures. We will never leave our dog with another family again!!!”
“Dave did a great job watching our Australian cattle dog, Oliver. He took him on local hikes and made sure he got plenty of exercise. He was very responsive and sent us pictures everyday!”
“We had a great experience with Jonah and Daniel! It was wonderful that our dog Steve (who is usually shy and a bit skittish when first meeting people) took to Jonah immediately. We got updates and lots of photos from Steve's 3 day/night stay. We highly recommend Jonah and Daniel and would definitely book with them again!”
“We are grateful for Kelly taking good care of our boy. He loved her yard and quickly felt comfortable with her. She was able to introduce a second client to him with little to no trouble which I think speaks to her confidence and knowledge of dog psychology. She sent several updates throughout the day with photos and provided lots of open communication throughout the booking process. Our dog tends to protest food when he is not at home (even when on vacation with us) and he ate all the food we left for him at Kelly’s. Great job! We will book Kelly again when we need her.”
“Bernie has been watched by Carolina a few times and absolutely loves spending time with her. He gets excited when he gets to her house and gets along well with her two dogs and family. She treats him with so much love. Thank you Carolina for the great care that you provide to Bernie.”
“Absolutely amazing Rover. Jocelyn sends frequent updates with pictures and videos. They reached out to ask before providing an unknown treat.”
“My normal dogsitter cancelled a the last minute and I decided to give Zaira a chance, since she received so many 5 star reviews. There is a slight language barrier, but it did not affect the care she provided my Nico. She sent me daily photo updates. I was able to see that Nico was well taken care of. She even bathed Nico right before I picked him up. I am pleased with Zaira's service and will definitely book her again when needed.”

Yingying W.
“She really knows her stuff. She’s been working with dogs for at least 8+ years, and you can tell right away she’s super experienced. When my puppy was terrified of cars at 4 months old, she literally sat with us by the road for 30 minutes to help him get over it—and it worked. No drama, no pressure, just calm, smart training. After that, my dog was totally fine with traffic. That moment sold me—she’s not just good with dogs, she’s 'really' good at helping them grow.”
