“Great experience for Millie. She usually gets nervous starting at new places but by the time I went to pick her up I could tell she was incredibly comfortable and cared for. Thanks Jaun!”
“Karine was absolutely wonderful. We could tell our pup was expertly cared for during our time away. He had an amazing time with Karine, her husband and the other dogs. She was very consistent with updates, and made us feel at ease during the whole stay. We would recommend her to anyone 1000%”
“Anat was great with Bodi. He’s a puppy and she was super responsive, attentive to his needs, and followed my instructions to a tee. He had fun play dates and we received lots of fun videos and pictures.”
“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”
“Our dog has stayed with Nina and Augustine many times and she is incredibly happy there. They treat their boarding dogs like cherished members of the family! Our dog Daisy used to be hesitant about staying with someone else and would cling to me. Now when we walk up to Nina and Augustine's house she's pulling at the leash and pawing at the door to try to get inside! They are trustworthy, reliable, and so great about communication and sending photos. I would without hesitation recommend them for dog boarding or any animal care.”
“Yuri took amazing care of Jolie while she was sitting for her. She sent me pictures daily and updates about her well being and any concerns she had. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Yuri!”
“Woof L was wonderful and my Leo had a great time!! I received videos and updates about Leo. I could tell when I picked him up and from the videos, he had a great time!! Woof L has a great set up with a large fenced yard. Woof L will be my go to in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of my Leo!!”

Her home was clean and very dog safe. I would highly recommend Belkys as she is the best!”
“Kara and her husband couldn’t have been nicer and took great care of our Goldie! She sent me pictures and a video of them on a walk and gave me updates. I couldn’t have asked for better care❤️”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up on a farm where we had around ten dogs at a time, so I learned early on how to understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. From playful puppies to older dogs, I know how to handle each one with patience, care, and respect. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same attention and affection I’ve always given to my own. During the week, I’m usually available to care for dogs in the mornings. If you need care on the weekend, I kindly ask for a few days’ notice, as I sometimes have plans or may be out. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs and make sure your pup gets the attention they deserve! I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, though it’s not fenced, so I always keep them safe by walking them on a leash either in the yard or around my quiet neighborhood. I also have a small, friendly dog who gets along well with others, so your pup will have a gentle companion during their stay. I always make sure dogs are comfortable, safe, and well cared for—whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home.
“Amazing experience with Doreen! My 2 shy pups stayed with her for over a week and they came back happy and healthy. What more can I ask for? We will definintely be repeat customers.”
“Really grateful to have found them. They were able to take care of my pup last minute and Sophie had an amazing time. I will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie and Chris were excellent. I was super anxious about having to be away from my dog for over a week for the first time ever, but he was truly in the best hands and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future. They kept me updated daily and sent lots of pictures!”
“Brittany was great with my puppies! She treated them like her own and sent me pictures with updates throughout the weekend. She’s so patient and really makes you feel comfortable leaving your pets with her! Will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to friends!”
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“Kevin and his family were very sweet with my pup. She was nervous and anxious being away from us but they made her feel less nervous and made her stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended!”

I was so apprehensive about leaving my dog. He is my life, my baby. Stephanie and Chris welcomed us with open arms and made it such a pleasurable experience. They kept in contact with us daily and sent us pictures to ease our anxiety. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to use them again❤️
Brittany (and Mom!) is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. Marley is a rescue and usually quite skittish around new people / dogs so She tries to find a way to run off when she’s scared. Brittany’s home is very secure and I felt so at ease. Marley was treated as one of their own, got tons of TLC and made new friends while I was away. Thank you so much 😊
