“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”


“We were extremely happy with the care Julia gave our very timid pup. Julia was very willing to set up a puppy playpen for our little guy. She was very patient with him and eventually he came out of his safe space playpen. Julia sent pictures and text updates every day. By the end of his stay our pup seemed comfortable in her home and would go outside with her. Julia's patience with our timid pup was above and beyond. Her updates a picture helped to reduce our concerns of leaving our pup behind. We found him happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely look to request Julia again.”


“Jennifer was great! Not only was she able to take our animals last minute she clearly made them feel at home. She is great with communication and listens to the details when you tell her about your pets. Would absolutely book again!”


“Theresa was amazing at taking care of our dog Cargo and cat Levi. She was extremely flexible when i inquired at the last minute and was eager to help out! While my family and I were out of town, we were at ease knowing they were well take care of. We received pictures throughout our time away. I would highly recommend Theresa and plan to book with her again!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals. Any animal in my care has always been loved and catered to. I’m always so excited to meet new adorable dogs & cats! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I love long walks in the park or around my neighborhood to get fresh air. I have the space & time to care for animals! Also a huge dog park right scrounge street where the animals can run and play. I have plenty of room in my apartment to care for pets. I also have a grass area/sidewalk to take dogs on walks or out to use the bathroom. I love brushing their fur, giving water & making sure they are as comfortable/happy as can be!

“Excellent service! They accommodated my dog, even when I had an emergency! They are very good with dogs, they're dogs are friendly, and they're very kind people. I give them 7 out of 5 stars!”


“Joanne took great care of our dog Dallas! She sent us pictures and updates every single day! Her dogs got along great with our dog which made us feel much better. He met a "girlfriend" Yorkie that was she was also sitting that kept him company all weekend long. Joanne has a huge yard with plenty of running space and exercise. She offers many different sleeping arrangements that can fit your dog's needs and wants. She was polite, caring, and professional, and we will surely use her services again. ”


“My labradoodle stayed 5 days with Sarai having never boarded before and she handled him and his medicine with ease. She is professional and keeps her home and yard tidy and welcoming for her visiting dogs. Her large fenced yard makes a safe exercise area for daily play. She is friendly and easy to work with and accommodates the needs of her customers.”


“Kelly is amazing! I had messaged her last minute and the day of, she responded within minutes! She was super sweet and updated me on how he was, and sent pictures of him daily. I recommend her to everyone especially if this is your first time doing boarding! As these are our babies, she made me very comfortable and Bailey warmed up quickly! Bailey will definitely be back! 🤍”


“She was super sweet I was late dropping her off and picking her up. She was so nice about everything she is a good sitter and patient with me. Will definitely book again.”


“Lisa treated my dog, Diego, like one of her own! He spent the weekend at Lisa’s house and was spoiled! We knew Diego was being well cared for by Lisa and her sweet family, and that put our minds at ease. We will definitely be booking with Lisa in the future!”


“Cay was completely awesome. Truly exceeded my expectations with the updates, pictures, and videos. He was patient and took excellent care of my boy. Highly recommend Cay! If I could give him 10 stars I would!!”


“Jennifer has been wonderful with our kitty! She sent us pictures every day, gave him lots of cuddles, and he really seemed to enjoy being with her. Would definitely use again!”


“Spencer was very professional while dealing with me and caring for the dogs. He was proactive with communications and ensured that the dogs had a pleasant stay at his place. I would highly recommend him for dog sitting.”


“Teresa was the best! My Charlie was very happy there and I loved getting regular updates, it felt good to know that he was well taken care of while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


“I am always leary when I leave my fur baby with someone other than family however in this occasion I felt nothing but at ease with Naomi watching my girl. She kept me up to date throughout the stay and sent plenty videos and pictures. Her dogs were also so friendly and I love that Jazzy made some friends. Thank you Naomi immensely ❤️”


“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
