“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”


“Derek was really great with our corgi! He was very responsive and communicative. Sent lots of photos while watching him for the day. Took him on lots of walks and time to run around at the park. Musubi came home very happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of our fur baby :)”


About: I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us. I have a very flexible hybrid job that allows me to adjust my schedule as needed. My husband also works hybrid. Both of us only go into office 1-2x/week but we alternate days so there is always someone at home. We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.

“Marsha is the absolute best! From the time we inquired about her services through the end of our dogs’s stay, Marsha made us feel comfortable and confident that our dog would be well-taken care of! She was so attentive and understanding to our dog’s unique personality, gave frequent updates, and truly made our dog feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter/environment for our dog. We will absolutely be repeat customers!”


“Such a good experience with Ashley! She is so responsive and provided frequent updates with photos. Our doggie loved staying with her and was so excited when we dropped him off. We will definitely be using Ashley as our go to Rover sitter!”


“We found an angel in Tamie! For a pup with medical issues, finding trusted care is so challenging. Then we found Tamie. Not only did she lavish love on our boy, she kept this nervous mom updated and sent along lots of photos. And on the way out, Monte ran back to give her a kiss. ❤️ She is truly a lover of dogs and we can’t wait to use her services again.”


“Patricia was awesome! She now has watch both our dogs and she shared many useful suggestions on how to help them bond. I will recommend Patricia's doggie daycare.

We are so glad to stumble upon Tommy, who is reliable and truly goes above and beyond when taking care of my pup. He kept us updated throughout the day with photos of when our pup is eating, napping, and playing. He even took him out for a run. He even cleaned our pup’s food bowl and water bowl and returned them back at the end of the day. What an amazing experience!”


“It was my dog’s first time staying with other dogs. But Aileen made sure they get along by meet and greet. She was updating me with frequent photos and gave a piece of mind! She was very cooperative on scheduling a pickup and a drop off! Glad our fur baby had a good time with her family! I will definitely come back to her next time!”

“Jennifer and her crew were absolutely amazing with Mr Admiral. He had so much from playing with gunner and her little! From the constant communication throughout the day, the wonderful pictures and videos she loaded us with. To her following up and making sure everything went to our satisfaction with his puppy care.

About: Hello! I have trained puppies and dogs for basic obedience and shows for 15 years. I started as a mentee at 9 with a certified show dog runner and trainer for 1.5 years and started training my neighbor’s dogs as practice. I have since started boarding various pets throughout college up until now. As a pet owner, I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for and be responsible for our family members - I’m definitely that person and will ensure the upmost respect for you and your pets! I like to give my clients and their pets the time to get to know me and feel like they’re making the right choice. I like to keep everything transparent and open for discussion. I live in a large two-story home with a fenced backyard and plenty of running space. I believe in lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep all animals in my care happy and healthy. I work from home at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to get 10k steps a day for my own health and make it a point to go for a 2 hour walk a day and love having a companion there with me :) My home is pet proofed from any toxic plants, food is kept out of reach, and my home is treated for pests and fleas monthly. I also have dog gates in case I ever need to section a part of the home off. I don’t like to use dog crates in my home and like to let pets have a lot of freedom and space to feel their most comfortable.

Active Lifestyle: I’m in great shape and love staying active, so long walks or energetic playtime are no problem at all. Attentive Care: If your pup has special needs or specific instructions, I’ll follow them to a T to ensure their comfort and happiness. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and be around your pup! I also have a Husky that will be there to keep them company :). I’ll be home most of the time and will be able to walk them whenever! I live in an apartment but there are three parks around the area to hang and have fun at!

Tommy looked after our little chihuahua-mix for a day and Western was in very good hands! Tommy was extremely fast at responding and was very flexible when booking a meet-and-greet. He and his partner are both really friendly and nice, as well as his doggie Paku! Western had a great time snuggling with Tommy and didn't take long to get acclimated. Tommy is very close to where we live so it was very convenient picking up and dropping Western off. Tommy was also really flexible with pick-up and drop-off times! Thank you Tommy and Kim!

I contacted Chelsey for a last-minute doggy stay request. She replied right away, asked all the right questions, and we were set up within 10 minutes. During the stay, she sent me updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of our pup and we would recommend her to anyone!

Tiffany took great care of Bumi! She has a sweet, playful dog who got along well with Bumi. He can be pretty shy and homesick, but he adjusted quickly and even felt comfortable enough to snuggle up next to her which doesn’t happen often. She gave frequent text, photo and video updates. I really appreciated her gentle, friendly approach and will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bumi!

Haley is THE best sitter ever!! She takes such good care of my pup, she’s super communicative and sends updates of how the day is going which I love getting while I’m at work. My dog lovesss her and it’s so relieving knowing he’s in such good hands. We love Haley!!! :)

So glad I found Jeanne! Gnocchi loved playing with Jeanne’s doxies that Gnocchi returned home ready for bed. Overall Gnocchi seems very content and will be going over for doggy day care while I work. Jeanne is super sweet and takes good care of Gnocchi. Highly recommend!
