“Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”

“Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Perfect dog watcher ! I’d give her 6 stars if I could. And I would definitely take my dog back to her in a heartbeat. Thank you Alexandria and thank you rover”

“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”

“Emily responded quickly, sent pics of my boys playing in the yard. She said they didn't eat much the first day but that's to be expected because they get anxious being left behind. But having boarded my dog tigger before he's usually anxious for days after being picked up and didn't have that this time, so that tells me a lot. ”

“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”

“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”


“Tamisha watched our girl for us for a week during our wedding and made all transitions smooth considering all of my planning stressors. I received frequent updates and pics along the way taking way the stress of knowing she was ok! I would def book her if you’re looking for an amazing sitter! We will be returning to her again!!!”


“Paige provided a great stay and experience for our cat, Bird! Communicative and kind, she shared updates and photos throughout our weekend trip leaving us feeling comfortable and confident.”

About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Sydney came in clutch. House flooded and needed someplace for my fur baby with short notice. Lots of pics and video was great already stressed over house and she really reassured me my dog was more than well cared for. He had a great time.”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”

“Justen was great with my dog Honey! She is a little nervous around other dogs after previously getting attacked and he made sure she felt comfortable and safe! I would definitely let him watch her again!”


About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.
“Nicole was professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for Kazo. Kazo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Nicole's services to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and dependable pet care.”

“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”

The previous person I used for a while is no longer boarding dogs so I had to find someone new which is always an anxious thing to have to do. Luckily for me and my dog we stumbled upon Nicole. Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! Her two doodles Mily and Kira were fast friends with my dog during his stay. They have a big fenced in back yard to run around in and Nicole sends lots of photos and videos which is always a nice gesture that lets you know your dog is having a great time and things are going well. We will definitely be coming back to Nicole for any future boarding needs!

We had an excellent experience with Sydney! She took wonderful care of our pet and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We received regular photo updates along with timely messages, which made it easy to see that our pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was outstanding, and it was clear Sydney genuinely cared about our pet’s well-being. We truly appreciate her professionalism, reliability, and kindness. I would highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person!

Brittney is an absolute lifesaver! She watched our dog Max for over a week. He happened to get sick completely out of the blue on day one (nothing to do with her care, just bad timing). She got him to the urgent care without hesitation, kept us updated, and was incredibly flexible with his meds and schedule. Through it all, she made sure Max felt loved with plenty of walks and playtime to keep his spirits high. We came home to a happy, healthy pup. If you want someone truly dependable, book Brittney—we can't thank her enough!
Debra was fantastic! I felt absolutely comfortable leaving Cece and Vivian with her. She was very communicative and kept me up to date. She also went out of her way to accommodate my schedule for pick-up and drop-off. Cece and Vivian had a wonderful time and came home happy and exhausted. I would definitely recommend her.

Nevaeh was wonderful! I was so concerned that we would not be able to find anyone last minute. She was awesome, honest and supportive! We officially have a new babysitter for our little Golden Doodle! Nevaeh was quick with the updates and pictures and really put our minds at ease that Nuala was in great hands! Thank you so much for being so fantastic!

Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!

Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!
