Dog Boarding Southwood

“Mariia provided exceptional care for Harley while his owners were away. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly treated him with kindness and affection, giving them complete peace of mind throughout their trip. Harley was well cared for, and it was evident that he was in great hands. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter would be fortunate to have Mariia care for their pet. She comes highly recommended, and would gladly trust her with Harley again.”

“Such a great sitter for my dog! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! She took lots of pictures of my dog and he seemed very happy and well cared for. She took him of many walks and kept me updated on him.”

“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”

“Brad is an excellent care taker of my 17 year old Morkie. Lucky is blind and trying to live out the remianing years in the best way possible. Having someone care for him when I need to travel is essential. Brad treats lucky as if its his own. Lucky always is comfortable with his stay there, getting special care and attention. I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”

“I appreciated Catalina's diligence in making sure all the pups got alone before his first visit. The meet n greet helped ease my mind. Barli had a great first day with her and her puppies and was in great energetic spirits when I picked him up. We look forward to returning to see Catalina!”

“I had such a positive experience with Chelse. I was incredibly nervous (and sad) to leave my elderly dog who hasn’t been away from me for months. Chelse put my mind at ease and was in constant communication, sending me photos and updates. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. My little old lady did great while she was in Chelse’s care.”

Jennie K.

“WOW how blessed were we to find Sanya on Rover. Sanya and her family were caring, compassionate and took great care to see that our Family pet was well cared for This was our first experience leaving our pet with anyone outside of family. We were nervous to say the least. Sanya sent pictures with updates on a daily basis. We could not have asked for a better caretaker then Sanya and her family”

About: I've cared for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, including puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and homes with multiple dogs. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, reinforcing routines, and giving lots of love and attention while their owners were away. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions to make sure each pet stays healthy, safe, and happy. As a full-time elementary school teacher, I'm dependable, patient, organized, and understand the importance of trust and communication. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. As a full-time elementary school teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before and after work, on weekends, during school breaks, and throughout the summer. I enjoy spending my free time being active outdoors, so dog walks and playtime fit naturally into my routine. I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. When pets stay in my home, they're treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special care instructions. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I have access to a fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy exercise and enrichment with their owner's permission and if it's a good fit for their personality and comfort level. If a dog prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to provide individual walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention instead. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, I'll treat your home, your pet, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“Andrea was awesome! Very accommodating and showed a great understanding of dogs and what they need to acclimate to new surroundings. She sent lots of pictures during his stay and updated me pretty much daily. Henry was tired once getting home so that tells me he had a great time!”

“This is the first time we leave our pup with Laura and we're so happy we did! She sent us plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay and most importantly, we felt he was getting all the love and attention he needed while we were away. We picked him a happy pup and I'm sure he'd love to see her again. Would 100% recommend her!”
