“Thank you for taking such good care of my husky puppy Thor!! You gave me such peace of mind dropping him off I was able to enjoy myself on a kid/dog free weekend while getting updates on how Thor was doing & what his ornery self was up to. You guys rock!!!”


“Very kind and caring. Unexpectedly my dog needed medicine while I was away and Irena did not mind at all doing what was needed. She was very accommodating to my change in schedule also.”


“Margit & Bill were fantastic with our girl. We got regular updates and photos throughout the stay. Our Italian Greyhound finally got to hangout with a full size Greyhound which went great. 10/10 would highly recommend”


About: I currently have a cat and a golden retriever and would love to help you take care of your dog while you are in need. I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule allows me to be very flexible for potty breaks and general playtime while I'm taking care of your best friend. We have over 3/4 of an acre of property and are also located in the heart of Berlin...So a walk or outside playtime is no problem.


“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”


“Cindi was really wondeful to our Sandy. She spent allot of time making it fun for her. Her dog Snickers is very nice and friendly. Sandy and Snickers had allot of fun together. Cindi sent us many updates and photos. Sandy and Snickers were playing together in most of them. Cindi is terrific with dogs. I highly recommend you leave your dog with Cindi!”


“Jill was a great sitter! She made me feel right at ease with all the pictures and videos she sent. I could tell that Winston was having a vacation too! He was so tired when he got back home. Her communication was excellent thru the stay. When we got home I was surprised to find a treat bag tucked away in Winston's things. What a nice touch that was. I would highly recommend her for your future stay.”


“We love Donald ! He has a big heart and such a warm way with our dog , Tucker , who very easily took to him ! Any time we need a sitter , he is our number 1 go to !”


“There are not enough stars on this!! To say that things went well at Oliver's first stay with Jocelyn and her lovely family is an understatement. They truly treated him like family. We received pictures of all the loves he was getting daily. They even managed to get him to co exist with their dog!! It truly warmed our sole and kept our minds at ease while we were over 12 hours away from home. Will definitely book again!”


“Shakya took wonderful care of my pit bull for 9 days. It can often be stressful leaving our pup for such a long stretch of time but we could immediately tell that Shakya was such a dog lover and we felt very comfortable. Shakya was very communicative, sending daily updates and photos. Our dog was in amazing hands!!! We were so happy with the care Romy was given and will definitely be calling Shakya again to care for her. 10/10!!”


“BJ was so kind to our puppy. We felt so comfortable leaving our baby with her over a week. We highly recommend BJ to care for your pup’s needs! Her yard is an amazing asset and our dog loved her. 5 stars!”


“Liliana was great with Boh. She kept us updated on how he was doing and it looks like they kept busy. He looked great when she dropped him off and I could see he definitely liked her. We will check with Liliana first the next time we need someone to take care of Boh.”



“It was a pleasure working with Kathy. She is responsive and attentive with communication. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and enjoys getting to know their personalities. Her home is clean and well cared for, the neighborhood is residential and safe for dog walking just as described. Sadie is a most gracious host too. Thank you for taking such good care of my Hawk. Talk to you in November!!”


“Margaret was an absolutely wonderful doggie Mommy stand in for our dog Dallas. Dallas suffers from severe epilepsy and needs daily medication and to be cared for with a close eye. Margaret took exceptionally good care of him and showered him with treats and love. He missed us terribly and she went out of her way to take him on many walks and even took him to the beach to help distract him. I would 100% recommend Margaret to anyone. She is a loving doggie angel.”


“I think Cody really enjoyed his first Boarding with Chelsea! We will certainly be back! In fact already have another Boarding booked! Chelsea communicated great and sent pictures. Her parents being there are an added bonus! Cody is getting lots of love!”


“Mickey was a very gracious and thoughtful host for our year and a half old wire hair fox terrier. Mickey dealt with a small injury to Gracie‘s paw that occurred just before we dropped her off, keeping her front paw bandaged many times as Gracie decided she did not want to wear it. She also took Gracie for 2 1/2 mile walks, which is exactly what that breed needs. We absolutely recommend Mickey.”
