1. Melanie P.

“Melanie and her family are amazing and made us feel at ease with the newness of doggy day camp and boarding. With her constant communication about what to expect, pictures of our pup during his time there and a report at the end we feel good about boarding him and more doggy day camp experiences. Really happy we found them!”


2. Philip S.

“Anytime I have ever had to have my dog boarded, I worry about her being scared or neglected. I just worry. Not for even a second have I had that thought come into my mind, as they have done a phenomenal job not only to care for my dog, but letting me know without me asking how they are caring for her. They worked with me on a schedule change with ease and even issued me a partial refund when they thought I paid too much. There may be some out there just as good, but you will not find 2 better people to care for dog.”


3. Mia C.


“Luna enjoys spending the day at Mia’s very much! Her tail starts wagging the minute we pull up. Mia is always so flexible and quick to respond to requests. Couldn’t ask for more for my dog!”

“Jasmine made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. Zoey had a great time and I’m glad she was able to stay with someone so good with dogs especially big breeds.”


5. Enzo M.


“Enzo was incredibly awesome! I was extremely nervous initially with leaving my lil guy with someone outside of the home. I felt such at ease from the second I met Enzo. Pup and I couldn’t have found a better person, it’s not possible. Ha!!! So very pleased.”

7. Ryan S.


“Ryan is awesome!! He has watched my 2 large golden doodles for a long weekend, and for daycare and both experiences have been seamless! Ryan’s responds almost instantaneously and is always available in a pinch. He makes pick up and drop off super easy and send lots of updates! My dogs have a blast playing in his backyard.”


8. Patrick N.

“Pat and Nicole watched my Maltipoo with very little notice. He had an absolute blast! They were always in communication and sent videos of the fun. They will now watch my pup daily while I am at work, and I will feel at ease knowing he is in loving hands.”

“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”


12. Marcus G.
“Marcus took the best care of my senior dog, Baloo. Because of his old ago, Baloo required lots of special attention. He was very careful guiding him down the stairs and playing gently with him. Highly recommend Marcus to look after your pup!”


13. Deyana N.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 9 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry friends of all ages. I have taken care of senior animals and injured animals where I have administered oral medications. I have experience grooming, specialty feeding, and walking long distances. I have plenty of time to take care of pets even being a college student part-time. I’m a very active person and used to taking long walks. I take special time to take care of our loved furry friends. I have multiple fenced dog areas for long walks. If needed I do have a large crate and each room is dog proof for prevent any hazards. Respect is very important and respecting every home and rule is vital.


14. Shneila L.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Pet Whisperer! If my dog could talk, I’m 99% sure he’d be packing his bags and moving in with Shneila. I swear, he came back from his stay acting like he just got back from a luxury vacation—happy, relaxed, and maybe a little sassier. She sent me updates that made me laugh, like “Your dog just gave me side-eye because I didn’t throw the ball fast enough.” Clearly, she gets him. I never worried for a second because I knew my fur-baby was in loving, capable hands. 10/10 would book again—unless my dog decides he’s too good for me now”


15. Jennifer J.

“The kindest soul ever! I feel comfortable leaving my pup there and our dogs get along great! Her house is clean and has a fenced in yard! I 100% recommend☺️”


16. Suzanne L.
“We are extremely selective with sitters for our bernedoodle, and Suzanne is without a doubt our top choice. Her level of care, affection, and attention to our (very specific) requests is unparalleled. From multiple walks a day to cozy cuddle sessions, and tons of photo updates, I know my dog was treated like family. I never worried about my dog’s well-being knowing she was in Suzanne’s loving care. I wholeheartedly recommend Suzanne to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate sitter for their dog.”


17. Alexis J.
“Whenever I go out of town for work, Alexis is the first person I reach out to. There is no one else I would rather leave my dog with. She cares so much about her own dog, and every dog she watches. If you have the opportunity to leave your puppy with her, it’s a no-brainer. She is the best.”


18. Adrienne & Jarrod R.

“Adrienne & Jarrod are incredible! They are kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. Through the numerous photos they provided it was clear that our dog, Harley, got along very well with Remy and received a great balance of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Harley can't wait for her next stay!”


19. Ellie H.

“Ellie was great! She was kind enough to watch my dog with relatively short notice and had her from early morning to late at night while I took a day trip. I’m excited to work with her again!”


20. Rebecca L.
About: I adopted my dog, Freddie, in December 2023 from my coworker fostering him when he was five months. He’s been the best and most important thing in my life since that day! Freddie loves all types of dogs, from frenchies to great danes, and would love to welcome a pet to stay in our home or run around the park. Prior to adopting my pup, I grew up with dogs in my home and have always had a love for them. I fostered a handful of them throughout college and I’m frequently known as the “office dog mom” with all the pups at work. I love all dogs like my own and would love to take care of yours too! I have a flexible work schedule so I can go into work late, walk dogs at lunch, and get back at the end of the day. Also, if your dog is well-trained my office is pet friendly and we love welcoming new pups! I’m also available nights and weekends to walk dogs as well. I always take caution while walking pups around the neighborhood. I’ve worked with reactive dogs to keep them away from other dogs or objects, as well as calmed them down with patience. If your pup is friendly, theyre welcome to come to our home or my office.
