“Cayley was fantastic!!! Not only did she take our reservation super last minute, she really went above and beyond taking our dog in hikes and providing all the snuggles my Velcro dog craves. Can’t thank you enough Cayley. Mina will definitely be missing you and your family.”
“Chris is officially Fiji-approved—and that’s saying a lot, because this Frenchie has standards higher than his ears when he hears the word “treat.” Leaving Fiji for the first time with someone new after years of “Doggy Disney” care by the last amazing family who watched him, had us nervous. Especially with his sensitive back, we were worried Fiji would be hard to handle. Enter Chris: Frenchie friend and all-around rockstar. Not only did he send us updates and photos galore, but he actually asked questions to make sure he was doing everything just right. Honestly, we’re starting to suspect that our next booking with Chris, Fiji will have a better vacation than we will. If this is his new Doggy Disneyland, we’re just glad there isn’t a gift shop because Fiji would totally take advantage. Thank you, Chris, for making this transition smooth, fun, and truly easing our minds. You’ve set the bar sky-high—and Fiji can’t wait for his next stay.”
“Diana’s care for CoCo is very good and thorough. The place is clean and everything was in order. Coco was happy and relaxed there and liked to play with Diana’s daughter. We are very happy for her service.”
“My dog had a wonderful experience with Alice. She is such a delight!! She communicated with me through out the duration of watching my dog, Barney. It was lovely to get pictures and videos of my fur baby while I was away on vacation. She was gentle and loving to my dog, Barney and I will most definitely use her again. I would highly recommend her to all my friends who are looking to leave their pet with Alice.”
“Kareen was great with our two pups. I know one is a bit of a handful but she did great with her and they seemed well cared. They went on walks and had plenty of room to play in the yard. We will for sure be using Kareen again. She kept us updated and sent pictures of the pups regularly.”
“Thomas took great care of my cat while we were away. His home quickly became his new home away from home. He also provided updates with photos which I always appreciate.”
About: So, a little about me, I’m an animal lover and I absolutely love to be around dogs! I previously had a toy poodle mix and a pug that we rescued but both have unfortunately passed! We loved our fur babies as much as people love their real babies. I enjoyed taking walks with my dogs and just giving them as much love and attention as possible, I’d like to extend that love and care to your pets! I have found myself with a lot of extra free time and would like nothing more than to help care for other people’s pets! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m available most days for feedings and walks as well as runs, dog parks, and any other special requests. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate just about any request in order to give your pet the best care while you’re away. I typically try to follow what your family prefers for keeping your dog safe. Whether that is walking your dog on a leash, going to a fenced in dog park, your own backyard, etc.
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Kiyarash did a great job taking care of my Rumi for the week. I had an unexpected business trip and needed someone who had great reviews but also had experience with french bulldogs. His place has plenty of room in the back for dogs to play. He sent me videos every day Will hire again”
“Harlan was great! His energy was perfect for my Ruby. Very calm, collected, kind personality. Ruby wasn't at all anxious when I dropped her off or picking her up. They had lots of 1 on 1 time during walks in his quiet, peaceful community and relaxing atspacious home. He followed all my feeding/walking requests, sent me pictures regularly, and responded to messages promptly. I wish he lived closer, but his services were worth the gas! I will be sure to ask if he can move closer for next time lol. Will 100% absolutely be booking him in the future! Thank you, Harlan!”

“We are so happy we found Magenka and could tell right away how much of a dog lover she is. Our girl Yazzie was instantly comfortable with her and absolutely loved to exploring the backyard. We felt she was save, happy and extremely well taken care of while we were out of town. Thank you for being so kind and wonderful!”

I hate to sound like a stuck record, but we cannot say enough about Andrew and Karrie. Our German Shepherd loves being there and always comes home happy. She played with other dogs, was given treats, and Karrie even brushed her out. We have such a peace of mind whenever our dog is with Andrew and Karrie.
Chase was absolutely wonderful and communicative. He sent many photo and video updates for my dog Onyx throughout his stay. His home is neat and tidy and he provides a calm environment for your animals to relax and enjoy. Will definitely be booking chase again the next time we are away. 😊
Travis is an outstanding dog sitter who cares about the dogs that he boards and makes certain that the dogs are safe and secure with other dogs on his property. He is very conscientious by keeping us informed with messages and videos. He is well experienced regarding the behavior of the dogs and their health while boarding in his home. We intend to use Travis in the future and would unequivocally recommend him to other pet owners.
Yidan was very accommodating to our Mochi boy’s needs. She was kind and inviting of her space. She sent wonderful pictures and videos of our dog playing and walking with her dog. She took our boy with very short notice and took very good care of him. We highly recommend Yidan for anyone who needs a kind attentive person who is trustworthy to give care for your furry companions! We would absolutely use her again in the future!
