“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“Ayni and Alfonsus made a positive impression from the meet and greet. They’ve wanted to check if Chico would get along well with another dog they had committed with. This showed me how much they care for the pet wellbeing. Chico was in great care and I received frequent updates by video and photo along with messages. They were very transparent all the time during our communications and this gave me the confidence to already plan another booking with them. Thank you Ayni and Alfonsus!”
“My Furbaby (Baby) is stand-offish when interacting with others! But surprisingly, as we entered the home Baby proceeded as if she had been there before! In other-words, the home is filled with good vibes. Oli, assured me Baby would be fine and sent photos which were reassuring. Knowing my furbaby was comfortable, comforts me! Thank you for the warm welcome and the gracious hospitality! Thank you again!”
“Cassandra was amazing with our 6 month Lab Winston. Coordinating drop off and pick up was easy. We received regular updates on how he was doing, and photos and videos of him enjoying his time there. He came back to us excited, well taken care of, and happy!”
“Ingrid did such a wonderful job looking after our pups! She sent daily photos and updates on how they were doing which really helped put us at ease during our vacation away. They had such a fun time under her care and we would absolutely trust Ingrid with our pups care again! :) Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girls.”
“Really wonderful experience! This was our first time boarding our dog and they were patient and took the time to go over everything with us. We received pictures throughout our trip and our dog had a wonderful time! Would highly recommend and we would definitely book with them again :)”
“Simply the best! We had never left our Daisy for such a long trip (10 days) and after meeting Linda and seeing her pet friendly home I felt confident we had found the perfect spot. She was treated like part of the family there. Am pretty sure Daisy will look forward to our future vacations now so that she can return to Linda's house and visit her friends. ”
About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.
“I had an amazing experience with Anna! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bo, and made sure he was well cared for. I didn’t have cell service while we were out town but she made me feel comfortable and that he was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We could not have asked for a better family to care for our dog, Cody. They treated him as if he were part of their own family, and even though we only asked for weekend sitting, they went above and beyond by playing with him and making sure he had the best time. We could tell our fur boy had so much fun—he came home happy and tired, sleeping early from all the excitement. They were also incredibly responsive every time we checked in. We are truly grateful for their kindness, care, and genuine love for Cody. Thank you so much.”
“Kiyarash really went above and beyond for our dogs when one of them had an issue while in his care. He has such compassion for them. He communicated very well with me and was so good to them. I highly recommend boarding with Kiyarash.”
“Karen is amazing! My Coco was boarding with her when the devastating LA fires erupted and she took great care of my pup as if she was her own, evacuating with Coco and keeping her safe throughout the process & Coco had a great adventure with Karen while I was away. I came back to a happy & healthy Coco. Thank you Karen!”
About: I have had five dogs, all different ages and personality types. I have experience with puppies and can follow any directions you have for your pet! You can count on me for all your pet care needs! I am currently a college student. I have time throughout the day and in the evenings as well as the weekends to care for your pets. I am able, and happy to, take your dogs into my home! I provide a comfortable, warm environment that your pets will feel right at home in!
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“I am very please with the way Susan treat my 4 months old Chihuahua mix puppy. We put Noodle our puppy boarding with Susan, he has friend (other dog) to play with. He love it at Susan house almost doesn't want to come home. I highly recommend any dogs & puppy for boarding service at Susan's home.”
“Stephanie and Jennifer take such great care of my girls!! This was their second stay with them.! Pictures flow freely and they are very communicative. I have 100% confidence in booking another event with these ladies.”
“Neda treated our baby girl like an absolute queen! We reached out to her last minute as our usual dog sitter couldn’t watch Roxy. She agreed to let us meet her beforehand and we brought Roxy too- everyone vibed really well! Neda took Roxy on walks and gave us little updates with photos. You can tell Neda really has a passion for animal care and she treated Roxy like one of her own.”

Alice was great! She agreed to meet the dogs ahead of the stay to make sure they got along with the other dogs and handled them all with care. She is very responsive to messages and was understanding with a delay in the drop off. The dogs were tired and happy when we picked them up!
Rajarshi was wonderful. He took such good care of our senior boy! I was nervous about leaving Gordie with someone other than family, but that went away when I received the daily updates and how well taken care of Gordie was 😊 I would definitely recommend Rajarshi.
Elaine and Marty are fabulous!!! They are kind and loving. When I leave Luna in their care I miss her but don't worry about her, I know she is being incredibly cared for. Luna loves going to their house when she realizes we are pulling up to their place she gets so excited. They have watched Luna many times now and I would highly recommend them.
We’re so grateful for all the love and care you gave our two dogs! Thank you for the daily updates and for paying such close attention to their feeding and walk schedules. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely rebook with you in the future. Thanks again, Sara!
