“I received pictures of Leroy doing well, on a walk, making new dog friends and even a video of Leroy's play time along with a picture of him finally snoozing. He had a great day! I hope Bobbi continues to have availability for him as I have had a lot of last minute needs helping my family at this time in my life.”


“Loved Dana from the start! She watched our 1 year old English bulldog for 2 weeks for us and so glad we went through her. She dealt with numerous date changes (thank you military) and was still very gracious. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for watching our crazy pup for us!”

“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”


“We are sooo happy that we found Kana. She made our vacation worry free since we knew or Doodle was on good hands. The pics she sent made it even better. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!”



“Amy was extremely flexible and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs seemed to have had a great time. We definitely plan to use Amy again. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”


“As usual Jennifer was fantastic with my dogs. One of my dogs Lucy was having some heat exhaustion problems or potentially from a seed that was caught in her throat (strange constant licking and vomiting for first hour and a half that resulted in me calling vets while at Jennifer's house). That resulted in her needing some extra attention and Jennifer did everything should possibly could to ensure she was comfortable and well taken care of with plenty of updates! My other dog, being the doofus he is, was just having a good time as always!”


“It was my first time leaving my dog with anyone for an extended period of time and they took great care of her! She had a blast, they sent updates daily and even trimmed her nails! They offer a shuttle when my car broke down which was awesome! Will only be booking with them for any dog sitting needs! Thank you so much”



“We felt very comfortable leaving Wonder in the care of Dina and Irma. We had a great meet and greet which gave us more confidence entrusting Wonder in their care. We enjoyed the updates throughout, and loved seeing her get along and play with their other dogs (amazing dogs, by the way!). Wonder returned to our care content and wanting more. We will stick with Dina and Irma from here on out! Thank you so much!”


“Jena is amazing! We have two standard poodles with individual issues: our sweet boy is a spoiled little prince who has only been boarded once, and it stresses him out, and our rehomed girl is afraid of new people and crowds. Jena was so good with them, very soon our girl, Oola, was her new best friend, and soon her children's friend too. Jena's kids are wonderful with the dogs too, and Jena sent lots of photo updates — and her skills as a photographer are excellent. She followed our instructions to a 't,' and we feel confident to leave our babies with her anytime. Jena goes out of her way to accommodate, but more than that she has a calming, and very 'present' presence.”



“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”


“We adopted our dog, a 9-year-old toy poodle, over two years ago. Indeed, he has his own personality and temperament. For instance, Mochi's groomer thinks that he is a difficult dog to deal with. Jeremy, on the other hand, found out that, "...he's been one of the easiest dogs to watch and has been perfect." Every day (a few times a day) Jeremey sent me the photos of Mochi and was, in fact, very quick to return my questions and concerns. For me, it was important that Mochi was warm, he had food, and had been taken for a walk very day. Should you need to leave your dog for a few days, leave it with Jeremy.”


“Kapri was so happy at tobi’s place. She took to Tobi and her husband right away she also loved having a backyard to hangout in. Will definitely be using tobi again in the future, Kapri was super happy getting such good care from Tobi.”


“Margaret was amazing. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us each morning and night. She sent pictures and made sure there was always open communication! Larry felt right at home with the other two dogs! I will be definitely using them again!!”


“Alexys is the best. She is kind, patient, and gentle. She took extra time to learn all the quirks of my dog and went above and beyond in caring for my little man. She provided regular updates/photos and upon picking up my dog, it was clear he had had a calm, safe, and nurturing stay. 100% would book again. Thank you so much ❤️”


“Heather did such an amazing job watching my dog. I was fostering a dog who I honestly didn’t know too much about but was getting away for the weekend, and she messaged me multiple times throughout the day, reassuring me everything was going smoothly. She was super kind, and seemed to understand my scared little foster pup super well. I would highly recommend Heather!!!”


About: I apologize in advance that I cannot accept any pets that has fleas or ticks. I have been dog owners for over 6 years. My lovely Japanese Akita was very well-behaved. After she passed, I rather pet sit because it’s so hard to watch her pass the rainbow bridge. I will treat your pet as family too. I also have experience with golden retriever, border collie, and Australian shepherd dog. I will walk your dog in the morning, short walk during lunch time, and a long walk after dinner. I like to go hiking on weekends so will bring your dog along. I will wash their paws after each walk. I'm a stay-at-home mom so I’ll be staying with your pet the whole day. My youngest is 15 year-old. I will walk your dog in the morning, during my lunchtime, and after dinner. On weekends, I will bring your dog along for hikes and lakes. I have a fenced yard for your dog but will mostly keep them indoor except during walks, rain or shine. I will wash their paws after walks.
