“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

“We found Zwany & Leandro after our regular Dog sitter moved away - and they are such a gem! Super communicative, extremely responsible but easy-going at the same time, and very sweet with the pups. You can tell this is truly what they love to do. They were also very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans suddenly changed which was super appreciative. They are awesome!!”

“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”

“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dear Clementine. Clementine was very happy in Vanessa's care. I'm very grateful for how well cared for Clementine was with Vanessa!”

“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”

“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”

“Logan and her dog Gus were wonderful with my golden. Logan has a natural confidence and calm presence that the dogs respond to immediately — they listen to her and clearly feel comfortable around her. She handled everything with ease and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Jess was great! She was very communicative and sent great pictures of our pup while we were away from her. Pick up and drop off were very easy and Jess was flexible with our timing. We already booked our next boarding for our pup!”


“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”

“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”

“Linda was fantastic! She communicated at least twice daily with pictures and responded promptly to any message I sent her. Rosie was well taken care of and pampered just like she is at home.”

“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
“Elliot and Jo were terrific with our 16 mo old Samoyed, who has a lot of energy and can be super anxious. When I picked up Casper, I could tell he felt at home with Elliot and Jo and that they had made him feel safe and loved. They care about the dogs they board, and I hope to leave Casper with them again in the future.”


“My girlfriend and I were worried we wouldn't have anyone to watch our Puppy Luca while we went away. I contacted Danya last minute and she took care of him above & beyond for a week while we were gone. While we were away, she sent texts and picture updates to assure us that Luca was behaving and doing just fine. She also took him out everyday to the park so he could run around and gave him a bath before we picked him up. When we picked Luca up Danya provided us with a goodie bag containing treats, toys and other valuable information. Danya and her fiancé are professionals that truly love animals, I highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again!”

“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”

“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”

“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”

Nolan and Damien were excellent caregivers. Fitzgerald really seemed to have a great time. They communicated effectively throughout the whole process and even flexed so I can figure out a different drop off schedule last minute. They sent pictures and gave updates on how he was doing and Fitzgerald came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for a great set of caregivers for their loved ones.

Tiana and Olena were absolutely fantastic with Millie. They were incredibly responsive throughout the stay and consistently kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear from every update that Millie was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. They were proactive, communicative, and treated her like one of their own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would gladly trust Tiana and Olena with Millie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog sitters

Irina asked questions to make sure she was well informed about Zoey’s needs and preferences and during the time she had Zoey, she sent great daily updates and photos and videos - Zoey seemed to be having a great time! We are so happy with Irina’s care with Zoey - highly recommended!

Fionna is absolutely Amazing at she does! Accepted my request last minute & allowed a Late night drop off All due to Personal family emergency; I cannot Thank Fiona Enough for being so Fast proactive flexible and responsible in my Time of Need! 5 Star Sitter - THANKYOUuuu! for watching my Toots!!

Caroline is nothing short of a hero. My dog was having a bit of a tough time after a move and having me leave for work the first week. He was a bit misbehaved for Caroline but she was so patient, kind and sweet. She looked after Kirby like he was one of her own, even though she was dealing with a tough pup! I cannot recommend her enough - she’s an absolute rockstar!
