“Yvette was so incredibly patient with our puppy, Korra. Korra unexpectedly got her first heat the day before coming to Yvette’s and we were so worried to leave Korra, but Yvette assured us that she would take care of her just like we would. Korra had an amazing time running around in her beautiful yard, snoozing on her deck, and going for long morning walks. Daily updates and photos eased our minds and we knew Korra was in good hands. If we weren’t moving cross country, Yvette would be the only dog sitter I’d book for my dogs.”
“Jonathan & Rebecca were wonderful dog sitters of my 7 month old puppy. They kept in communication and allowed her to run around and play as well as soothe her when she was anxious. They sent me pictures throughout the day which allowed me to feel relaxed about her well being. I would highly recommend. 🐶”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Shawn provides! You can really tell that he is an animal lover, and we always know that our pup is in good hands with him.”
“Bill is such a fantastic sitter!! If you're looking for a detail-oriented sitter that does his utmost to make your dog feel comfortable while giving your dog the best of care, please go to him! We left our elderly english bulldog, Lechon, with him for a week. Bill took great care of him. He gave Lechon filtered water, and helped him up the stairs as Lechon struggles with climbing sometimes. Our Lechon doesn't know his limits, so Bill also made sure to limit his play so he had time to breathe and not overexert himself. Bill really kept an eye on Lechon, and we're very pleased with the level of care and consideration Bill had with our elderly bulldog. I highly recommend Bill as a sitter. My family and I will definitely be returning to him in the future for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for everything Bill! Lechon looked so happy and healthy in the picture updates, and upon our arrival. It truly feels like you cared for him as if he were one of your own.”
“Maureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!”
About: I've been around household pets my entire life. My special skill is simply kindness and attention to detail. I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I am newly retired so all of my attention will be on your baby! I am newly retired and at home full time. All of my attention will go to your pup for the duration of their visit. He/she will always have company. I will be respectful of whatever routine you have in place for your fur baby. Outside of that, with permission, your pup would hang out with my family and I indoors and/or in our fenced in backyard. We do have an inground pool but I will be extremely attentive and careful not to ever leave your baby unattended. With your permission, your baby can join us for a nice swim!
“Natalia and David are amazing! I have an unpredictable rescue pup and he was SO happy staying with them. I was so relieved. My dog had fun running around the back yard, going for long walks, and playing several times a day. Thank you for showering my boy with so much love ❤️”
“I cannot say enough good things about Radwa O. and her wonderful family! She boarded my pup Stormi for 6 days, and from the moment I dropped her off, I had zero worries. Radwa went above and beyond to make sure Stormi felt loved, included, and completely at home. The updates she sent were thoughtful and showed just how much Stormi was being cared for like one of their own. A huge thank you to her sweet pups Diesel and Lyla for putting up with my little fireball. Stormi can be a lot, but they welcomed her with such patience and playfulness. And to her boys, thank you for letting Stormi crash your sleepover! It meant the world to know she was surrounded by such kindness and fun. Radwa and her family are truly lovely people and amazing sitters. Stormi came home happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with love. I would absolutely trust them again in a heartbeat! — Chanell G.”
“Jaimie provided wonderful care to our two dogs, Penny and Hugo. She helped them to feel safe and comfortable (and got them through all the scary noises of a loud thunderstorm!) We all appreciated the regular photos and updates that Jaimie sent to us.”
“Couldn’t be happier ! Noelle, AGAIN, took such great care of my Jax while we were away. From the start , communication was excellent , and i appreciated the daily updates and photos that showed my Jax having the most relaxing and fun time! It was clear that Noelle provided a safe and loving environment with plenty of attention. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring boarding for their furry family !”
“What a wonderful woman to leave your pets with. I have tow big dogs and she has her own big dog. She was attentive, active, and so communicative on their daily stools, play, and cuddle sessions. Would highly recommend Bridget, she was very thoughtful and trustworthy with my two fur babies !”
“I needed a sitter last minute and Dhruvit was able to accommodate my Lola. I was very thankful they do a wonderful job of taking care of my baby. This was my 2nd stay with their family.”
“Aylin K. is awesome! She took great care of our Willow while we were away. Dropping Willow off at Aylin's place was super easy, and I could tell right away that she'd be in good hands. Aylin sent us cute pics every day, which was so nice - we got to see Willow having a blast! Whenever I texted to check in, Aylin got back to me super quick. It was clear Willow was having a great time. The best part? Aylin's got this amazing yard where the dogs can run around and play safely. When we picked Willow up, she was happily tired out - always a good sign! Aylin's house was clean, and Willow looked so well taken care of. It's obvious Aylin really loves the dogs she watches. We'll definitely be using Aylin again. If you need someone to watch your pup, she's your girl! Willow can't wait for her next 'vacation' at Aylin's.”
“Alena was amazing! My dog was not easy as she has never been boarded from anyone other than family. But she did an outstanding job keeping me updated and sharing everything with me. I will definitely use her again and even use the doggy daycare!”
“Bishoy and his wife were amazing in caring for our golden retriever. She had a lot of play time outside & cuddles, and we received regular updates/pictures. Very kind people and I would definitely recommend them!”
“I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Lexi with Veronica even though this was her first stay. She kept us updated w pictures and text messages while we were away. Finding someone who is able to handle Lexi being diabetic and requiring injections daily is fantastic. Lexi is looking forward to her next stay.”
“So happy that we found Kevin to watch our dog. Kevin was professional, communicative, flexible, and took amazing care of our minpin. My dog didn’t want to leave Kevin’s house and was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. We will definitely be using Kevin again!!!”
