Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.

Yvonne was absolutely wonderful with our "fur baby" Emma. She sent multiple pictures and videos. These pictures showed, among other things, her playing outside, snuggling, playing, and taking a nap. During Emma's visit I felt like she was being well taken care of and loved. I never had to worry that she wasn't doing well. Emma came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks again for letting Emma have such a wonderful stay!

Ollie felt right at home. I loved the large fenced yard for off-leash exercise and that I got lots of picture updates. He enjoyed the extra company from other pups and children too. Thank you!!

Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.

Rita took excellent care of my Angelo in her home. He can be slow to warm up to people, but she quickly won him over and they had a great visit! He especially loved relaxing in her yard.

The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!

My dog Murphy was so well taken care of by Tabby. I was nervous as this was the first time I boarded her. I would use her again to board Murphy, no doubt!

She updated us and sent pics of the dogs I’m so happy with her care for the dogs for 4 days !!! Kudos to Karen and her husband.

Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.

Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.

I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding. I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.

Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!

We LOVE Shereen! She took such good care of our little Cooper. Her dogs are so loving and friendly, and welcomed ours into their home with no issues of any kind. Shereen obviously loves dogs and treats all of them like kings and queens...which is exactly what we wanted. She's really amazing.
