“Will and his wife Kayla did a fantastic job boarding our pup Ruby for a long weekend! They were very accommodating in meeting us a few days before the stay, and we were instantly put at ease with our decision to book with them. They took amazing care of Ruby and sent many photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby has a blast playing with Scout and Chase and I’m sure she will be hoping to play with them again soon! Highly recommend Will and Kayla and would definitely book again.”

“As always, Marnie had the best time with John and his beautiful doggies - whenever we take her to John she cannot wait to see him and she enjoys every second of her time spent with him and the gang. He’s the best!”

“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”

“Emma took such great care of our pup Oscar when we were away for a week. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, and he was really happy with her! She made him feel right at home- will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, from my own furry friends to those of friends and family! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. I’m very attentive, caring, and happy to adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! My work schedule is very flexible, and I can work from home whenever needed! This allows me to easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m also available all day on weekends! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home! I live right next to a park, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means specific feeding times, playtime, or extra cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always adapt to what makes them happiest. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands!
“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”


“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”

“Alan & Ying were wonderful, attentive, and took such great care of Charli while we were away! ❤️ We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos, along with the extra attention they gave to cleaning her eyes. Charli seemed so happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands — we truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend Alan & Ying and plan on using them again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs outside of my own for about 14 years. I found a passion of taking dogs out of big company kennels and bringing them into a warm and loving space! I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I am able to show the love and care that your pups deserve! Whether we are spending time playing or cuddling, your pup will be shown attention! I am located in a quiet area where there are many parts and quiet neighborhoods with sidewalks. I’m also in a space that is spacious giving your pup enough room to roam free and feel comfortable!
“Winn took great care of our dog Mango on our trip to Boston! He sent photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. He even brought Mango out to cheer as I ran past during the marathon - it was so nice to see her along the course! Highly recommend!”

“Antonio and his girlfriend were absolutely fantastic with my corgi, Loki!! Loki is a pretty anxious dog, so I was nervous leaving him with a new boarder, but within a day or two Loki was completely warmed up to him. Additionally, Antonio was super flexible and blocked off his calendar to other dogs while Loki was boarded since Loki doesn't always do well with other dogs. I received so many photos and videos and in every single one Loki was smiling or running around with the zoomies! I will absolutely be reaching out to Antonio again and I highly recommend him for others as well!”

“I contacted Jing last-minute for an overnight stay. She was super-responsive, and during the stay she sent me photos and updates. My dog Bobo seemed happy and got plenty of time out in the yard with her pooches. I would definitely send him there again if she is available!”

“Geraldine and her family were lovely. I felt totally safe leaving my dog with them over Christmas break. They sent photos of Monza snuggling in blankets and looking generally comfortable. They were super accommodating when I picked up my dog a day early. They were actually really sad to see him go. I would totally use Geraldine again.”

About: My fiancée and I are lifelong dog lovers who genuinely enjoy everything that comes with caring for a pup! We’ve had our own dog for the past year after bringing him home as a puppy, so we’re comfortable with puppy energy, training, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also grew up with a rescue dog, which made my love for animals start early. Your pup will be treated just like one of our own! 🐾❤️ We work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so these are our favorite days to welcome pups into our home! Your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We’re currently not offering daycare or boarding on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which allows us to give each pup staying with us the time and attention they deserve. Our apartment is very dog-friendly, safe, and welcoming! We have a small Maltipoo of our own who loves having furry friends around, and we live directly across from a dog park, making walks and playtime easy and convenient. We’ll follow your pup’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for!

Biscuit enjoyed his stay with Andriani. He had lots of fun and enjoyed engaging with her on the walks and with other pups at the park. She made him feel very comfortable for the stay and I would not hesitate to use her dog sitting services again. Thank you for taking such great care of Biscuit!

Emily was FANTASTIC! Our pup was so happy as evidenced by the pictures she sent and how he had to say goodbye before he left. Whenever there was a question she was quick to ask us and incredibly responsible. He went for long walks and had so much fun. We will definitely use Emily again.
I can't recommend Claudia and Joaquin enough! They took wonderful care of Daisy and were so accommodating from start to finish. Everything from the initial meet-and-greet to the final pick-up was completely effortless. They kept me in the loop with adorable photo updates, and seeing Daisy looking so relaxed gave me complete peace of mind.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
