“Jennifer was amazing with Forest. We got daily updates with some great photos. Forest looked like he enjoyed his time and came back home nice and sleepy. Jennifer seems very experienced and comfortable around new dogs. She even worked on Forest’s “squirling.” Couldn’t have had a better first experience.”
“Tia and Mario has always been amazing with our dog Arabella. They make sure to bring her to adventures and also takes her on long walks. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our princess.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
About: With over 10 years of dog sitting experience, I have provided dependable, compassionate care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in creating a loving and stress-free environment where every dog receives personalized attention, exercise, and care as if they were my own. My goal has always been to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands. I currently work a full-time schedule; however, I am available to provide dog boarding services after work on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays beginning at 3:00 PM. I also have full availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays for boarding, overnight care, walks, and personalized attention. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care while ensuring pet owners have peace of mind during their time away. I have a friendly and playful toy poodle who enjoys being around and interacting with other animals, helping create a welcoming and comfortable environment for pets in my care. For larger dogs, my apartment complex features a spacious dog park where they can safely exercise, play, and burn off energy. I provide attentive care that includes daily walks, scheduled feedings, playtime, and baths if needed. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for like family.
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!”

“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We did a meet & greet and then a trial run overnight with Emily in advance of a longer trip this fall. She was super kind and patient with our quirky dog, and his overnight there went well. We really appreciated updates along the way as well. Her backyard is wonderfully shady with gorgeous trees which meant that even with the spike in heat for Hamilton's overnight, he got to enjoy some lovely outside time. Thanks, Emily!”

Jona is an amazing pet sitter who took excellent care of my dog Minnie. She kept me updated throughout each day that Minnie was with her, sent nice pictures, and gave her a lot of time on walks and outdoors. She was very kind to Minnie who is shy around strangers, and by the end I think Minnie was happy and comfortable. I appreciate the great communication, care and attention of Jona, thank you so much for giving Minnie a fun and relaxing weekend!
Michelle and her family did an amazing job with my dog, Jax. She was very flexible with the time and provided a ton of photos that clearly showed my dog was well taken care of. Jax had such a good time that he didn’t want to come back home, haha. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely use her again.
Once again, my cat, Cleo, had a wonderful stay with Yan! When I came to pick her up, she let me hold her for a bit to say hi, then jumped out of my arms and acted like she wanted to stay there. It is such a comfort knowing she feels happy, safe and comfortable. Yan kept me updated on Cleo’s behaviors and activities and also sent the cutest pictures and videos. I can’t recommend her enough! I’ll definitely be booking with her again (and again and again)!
Viviana is one of the best dog sitters we’ve had in this area. I would highly recommend her and book her again! She was so sweet with our dog and very attentive to her needs. She gave our dog so much love and attention and sent us so many updates, which really made us feel at ease.
I had a wonderful experience with Bethany and couldn't have been happier with the care her family provided. She was reliable, attentive, and treated my pup like their own. Kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind while away. Hera came home happy, relaxed, and tired. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!
Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!
