“Mariola was fantastic. She is super nice and very communicative. Bailey took a day to adjust to the new setting but she did a great job making her comfortable. The rest of the days she was normal thanks to Mariola. I would definitely use or recommend Mariola.”


“We love sending our pup to Chen and his Family's home while we're away. Chen takes great videos and photos of our dog and sends us frequent updates through the day to let us know he's doing well. It's clear that Chen cares for our dog as much as we would!”

“Mary was amazing with my dog Atlas! Atlas is quite shy, but he warmed up her so quickly. She sent frequent updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing, and I really appreciated the fact that she set up a meet and greet before boarding to make sure there was a good fit :) she was also great with his twice daily medication! thank you!”
“VJ & Matthew took care of our senior dog with minor medical issues and communicated plenty of updates and medicated her. They were available for easy pick-up and drop-off.”

“Josephine was awesome! Sent me daily updates and cute pictures, and took my dog on walks and snuggled with him. He clearly had a great time and I’d happily book with Josephine again!”


“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”

“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”

“I am super happy with my experience with Nikolai and Jessica. They were available last minute when my other sitter cancelled on me. I was at first apprehensive with leaving Willow someplace with multiple other dogs being cared for since the last experience left Willow traumatized and was negative. This was the total opposite! It’s clear that they both care for all the dogs in their care and give them all the attention and love needed. I never had to ask for updates, they were proactive with photos/videos. It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about my dog. Willow came back happy and well cared for. It’s nice to finally have a reliable sitter in my area. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.”

“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”


“jiajie was a terrific sitter!! The communication was really helpful, as I received lots of photo and video updates. jiajie also gave me a recommendation of pumpkin bites for Bailey's sensitive tummy, which was super useful!”

“Alexis took care of my girl so well, she sent me daily photos and updates, played with her, let her lounge on her couch with her, Ella came home well rested and loved! We'll definitely visit Alexis again ♥️”


“Anchisa is amazing! She is kind and attentive and took wonderful care of our Frenchie while boarding her. Bella is wary of new people and places, but warmed up very quickly to Anchisa and was happy and comfortable with her in no time, due to Anchisia’s warm, loving, and calm demeanor. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”

“Juli went above and beyond taking care of our dog Sunshine. She is our first choice for a dog sitter whenever we travel. She is responsible, responsive to our dog's needs and great at problem solving. Sunshine gets to stay with a nice human and some well cared for canines in a beautiful home. When we go on vacation, Sunshine gets a real treat too!”

“We’ve had a great experience with Claudio! He gives our pup Walle a lot of backyard time, walks and fun activities. He gives lots of updates and is very flexible with drop-off/pickup too which I appreciate. Highly recommend!”

“Luis was great with Finn and very patient with me because I was anxious about my dog being separated from me. He has a good house and fenced in yard/patio area that gave Finn plenty to explore and some space to run around! I’m going to rebook with Luis and would recommend him.”

“Lindsey was the best! Super responsive, sent us a lot of pics and took such good care of our dogs, we knew they were in such good hands!! Would highly recommend booking with her!!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!

Chen sent me videos and pictures of my dog everyday which I really appreciated. Bailey looked very happy and healthy walking around the neighborhood. Chen also alerted me when Bailey managed to jump over his back fence. He got him back immediately. But I also appreciated that he told me. Didn't know the dog had it in him! Chen's English isn't great but he is a good communicator.

Ashley is WONDERFUL! Our Frenchie is wary of new people and Ashley had Bella eating out of her palm (literally and figuratively) and laying down for belly rubs within the first 5 minutes of our meet-and-greet. Bella was excited to see her a few days later when we dropped her off for 5 days / 4 nights boarding. Ashley sent photos and texts everyday and it was clear how happy and relaxed Bella was with her. Ashley is warm and kind, and was very accommodating of our travel timing. We’re delighted to have found her and will 100% be checking with her first for our future doggie care needs.

Megali was a lifesaver. We had to leave town suddenly for a funeral and booked her at the last minute. She made a stressful time a lot easier. She kept in touch the whole time and sent lots of photos of Beau with her dog, Zoe. The two of them got along great, and it was clear Beau was having a good time. She took them on hikes and gave him plenty of love and attention. Knowing he was happy and in good hands meant we could focus on our family. We’d book Megali again without hesitating and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Leslie did a wonderful job with our pup. We are often hesitant to leave our dog with other people but Leslie made us feel reassured that things would be ok. I am sure our dog was happy to be there as well as his tail always seems to wag when we walk by Leslie’s house. We will definitely be booking more with Leslie in the future.

Rob and Brian were absolutely wonderful caregivers for our older dog, Rocket! Their extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, was immediately apparent, and I felt confident Rocket would be in great hands. Rob was incredibly thoughtful about understanding Rocket’s needs and tailoring his routine, from finding grassy areas for sniff-focused walks to making sure he was comfortable in their lovely, dog-friendly home. We received plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear how caring and attentive Rob was with Rocket. When Rocket experienced a minor health issue during his stay, Rob communicated immediately and went above and beyond to keep him comfortable. We couldn't have asked for better care or greater peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!

Mary took fantastic care of our dog Cora! Cora is a senior dog who is both blind, deaf, and needs medication daily. I booked Mary specifically because she has experience with dogs that have these needs. I was so worried about leaving Cora but when meeting Mary those nerves went away. Additionally, Mary sent many updates with pictures that also helped my partner and I stay at ease during our vacation knowing that Cora was being well taken care of. Mary has a warm soul and clearly loves dogs or all kinds. I would not hesitate to book Mary to watch Cora again!

Sharon did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a wedding! She was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable. We requested a meet-and-greet and a doggy daycare session before their stay to help them get familiar with her and the new environment, and Sharon was more than happy to accommodate both. She was easy to communicate with, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her care. Throughout their stay, she provided regular updates on their potty breaks, meals, and how they were doing overall. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and care and would happily book with her again!
