“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”
“Our puppy Cody had an amazing day at Stephanie and Shaun’s today, and I would recommend them very highly to anyone who needs boarding or sitting services. Cody got to run around and play in a beautiful yard with their family and dogs. He was very well looked after. Stephanie and Shaun were very responsive and communicative, lots of pics and updates. They saved the day by taking a same day booking request for a last minute trip. I will book them again!”
“Justin and Jeremy are awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for my pampered pup and Justin and Jeremy responded very quickly to my request and I was able to schedule a meet and greet a few hours after speaking. My pup was scheduled for daycare the following day and I know she had a great time as Justin and Jeremy sent pictures throughout the day of her taking a walk, napping, and enjoying cuddles. When I returned to pick her up I could see she was very comfortable with Justin and Jeremy and had a full day playing with other pups as she quickly fell asleep on the car ride home. I would definitely entrust Justin and Jeremy with caring for my pup again! Thank you Justin and Jeremy! -Jessica and Coco Monroe”
“Neesha was kind and loving towards our dog. The space is beautiful and idyllic for a dog to run around. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Neesha’s hands.”
“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”
“Nicholas looked after our dog Toby (schnauzer, 7 years old, male) for the day. He was super communicative throughout and clearly hit it off when they met for the first time. I was so grateful to know that Toby was in good hands with Nicholas. I highly recommend Nicholas and will definitely reach out again :)”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my very first pet, a West Highland Terrier. Since then, I have gained years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have worked with playful puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between. These days, I spend a lot of time with my dog niece, a German Shepherd, so I am very comfortable with larger breeds and understand the energy and attention they require. What sets me apart is the natural connection I build with animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own. This includes assisting with crate training or simply being a calm and loving presence while you are away. I am reliable, patient, and always make sure pet parents feel informed and reassured through regular updates and personalized care for each dog’s unique personality. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to watch, walk, and care for pets throughout the day. Whether your dog needs regular walks, playtime, or simply some company, I can fit their needs into my daily and weekly routine to ensure they feel happy and well cared for while you are away. I provide care both in my home and at my clients’ homes, depending on what works best. I live alone with no kids or other animals, so your pet will have my full, undivided attention and a calm, quiet environment for their best comfort. At my place, I have a dedicated pet spa where I can give dogs relaxing baths and pampering. There is also a nice, safe walking area nearby where pets can enjoy exercise and fresh air. Whether your dog needs a soothing bath, a good walk, or just some quality time, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
“Nicole was communicative and flexible for our last minute request and changes in time for drop off and pick ups while we visited Washington DC. She took good care of our Ruby and she got to play with other dogs. She sent pictures too. Thanks so much.”

About: I grew up with dogs. Xavier and Prada were my best friends. I took them to training classes and have learned a lot from having dogs my whole life.

I have no animals in my home and I have a fenced backyard. I do not mind traveling to a clients home if needed too.
“Brett and Shane provided day care for my dog on the day I was moving. They were fantastic! They kept me updated with reassuring photos and notes, they were warm and caring with my pet, and they were extremely patient and flexible when I was delayed picking him up. They couldn’t have done a better job, and I could tell that my dog enjoyed his stay with them. I highly recommend them!”
“My dog seemed happy and healthy on pickup after two nights. I didn’t meet Dominique, just met her brother on both dropoff and pickup. He was good with my dog and theirs, as well as a third old pup who was at the house at pickup. They had the porch secured with a barrier that would not hold a big or determined dog but it seemed they were out there supervising all the time so no worries about escapes. They communicated well, I got photos and a few texts around logistics. Thanks guys! We’ll definitely consider using them again.”
“Our puppy Fiona had a great stay with Chad, and Chad was super obliging and communicative when we had to adjust our second visit at the last minute. Thank you!”

Diana S.
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – Simply the Best! I cannot say enough amazing things about Diana! From the moment we met her, our dog Candy was completely smitten — and so were we. She is punctual, professional, and clearly loves what she does. Every walk is more than just a bathroom break; Diana gives our pup the attention, exercise, and affection he needs to stay happy and healthy. She sends daily updates with photos and a little summary of their adventures, which always brightens my day. Whether it’s rain or shine, Diana shows up with a smile and a calm, confident energy that instantly puts pets (and their humans) at ease. If you're lucky enough to get a spot on Diana's schedule, don’t hesitate — she’s a total gem. Your dog will thank you!”
