As first-time users of dogsitting (we just adopted our 8-year old Beau 2 years ago), we couldn't have been better served by Monica and her family. They have a wonderful set-up for dog care - big, multilevel home, huge fenced backyard, and very pet-friendly throughout, along with a dear, patient older dog who is very happy sharing her "den" with her visiting buddies. Monica shared regular photos and reports, and was so clearly loving and enthusiastic about caring for our guy - giving him his daily medication and welcoming all of my (um, very detailed) instructions about his routine. We will definitely be repeat customers.

Saty took wonderful care of Gemini while I was away on vacation. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gemini was being cared for with the same love and attention as if he were his own dog. I would absolutely book with Saty again.

About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.

My dog Kona had a great time with Amrit and his daughter last week. I received regular updates and photos which put me at ease while I was away. Amrit was very responsive from the start and responded quickly to coordinate a meet and greet. Although he was not available for the entire duration of my trip, he offered to watch my dog for as long as he could which I appreciated very much especially during the busy summer months. I definitely recommend Amrit (and his daughter) to watch your dog! I am hoping they are available the next time I am away. Thank you for taking such great care of Kona!! 😊

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Shiina was with our dog. Like many, we got a Covid puppy and with restrictions letting up, we decided to visit family out of country. Shiina babysat our dog Friday for our first time away from her/her first time away from us. Shiina was better than I ever could have imagined. We got detailed daily reports of meals, potty breaks and trips to the park. We saw pictures and videos of Friday got dressed up in cute bandanas and learning new tricks! During our trip we kept joking that Friday would never want to come home with us. Despite our natural initial bouts of anxiety (not having our baby with us) Shiina did nothing but constantly and consistently assure us that Friday was having the TIME OF HER LIFE. At this point I don’t think I could ever trust anyone as much as Shiina with my dog and look forward to reconnecting for our next trip!

Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!

Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!
