“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”


“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”

“Apple was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog under her care, she sent me updates continually so I never had to worry about how my pet was doing. She was super communicative and friendly, I will definitely be coming back to her for any future care needs!”

“This is our second time leaving our pitbull with May and this was also a 5 night stay! We enjoyed the daily pictures of her walks with their dog Pepper and our dog seemed to really enjoy her stay. When we drop her off, she doesn’t turn back around. We appreciate the care May puts into our very active pitbull.”

“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”

“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”

“Clint was amazing! He regularly updated us with videos of Glaedr and was super knowledgeable and aware when introducing our doggo to the other dogs. Glaedr will definitely be retuning for more visits!”

“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I live right near a dog park, and love taking the dogs there on my walks. I do walking, boarding, sitting, and daycare. I am home full time and my partner is often home, so we have plenty of time to love on your best friend! We love taking them to the dog park across the street. We love boarding dogs in our home. Since we can’t commit to getting our own dog, it is our passion to spend time with other dogs!
“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”

“Yue was amazing! Needed a last minute week-long stay for my mom’s dog. Yue was super responsive, took her on walks, and pup clearly loved her stay. Definitely will be our go-to in the future!”

“Antonio and Cynthia were great hosts to our dog Mickey. They treated him as if he was their own. We will definitely use them again and would recommend them to others. Thank you guys!”

“Repeat customer here-Alegra is wonderful! My pup started wagging her tail as soon as we stepped on the porch. My dog is older and has some problems but Alegra is so patient and understanding with her. I get updates and pictures at least daily which I love. Highly recommend Alegra!”


“It was our first time leaving Buddy alone in the US and after meeting Mayank and his family we were very relieved that Buddy would be in great hands during our trip. Mayank and family kept us updated about Buddy’s activities throughout the stay and provided great peace of mind to us. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Buddy was very well taken care of and he was in fact enjoying his stay. He also got a chance to get used to staying with other dogs for the first time. Would definitely recommend Mayank’s services for any of your furry friends needs.”

“Lauryn was fantastic with our dog, Sirius! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and she was kind, warm, and professional. During our 9 day trip, she sent photos and updates and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Sirius with her! She made it easier to be away from him for a longer stretch. I would highly recommend Lauryn, and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!”

“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”

“Danielle and her family took great care of our little Coconut. It was Coconut’s first time being away from us so we were worried about her, but Danielle did well to socialize Coconut with her own dogs. Coconut never likes staying on the sofa and she managed to cuddle with their family on the couch. We got plenty of updates and photos of our little girl while we were out of town so it assuaged our worries greatly. I highly recommend Danielle for anyone!”

Misha was absolutely amazing with our dog, Jasper. In just three days, she packed in more adventures than we usually manage in weeks! She took him to the beach, the park for a picnic, daily hikes, dog parks, and even a dog-friendly beach where he could play fetch and socialize with other dogs. Jasper warmed up to her almost immediately and was clearly having the time of his life. Misha kept us updated with frequent photos and videos. The updates were fantastic and always seemed to capture Jasper at exactly the right moments, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Misha is incredibly caring and attentive, and it was obvious that Jasper felt comfortable, loved, and happy with her. We would not hesitate to book with Misha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!

The absolute best sitter ever!!! Tried many on Rover but Allegra tops them all. She and her family were so sweet to my shy and difficult furbaby. Plenty of updates, photos, detailed questions on particulars, I knew exactly what was happening daily. If there was a problem I knew about it and was consulted if things were going great I knew that too. Allegra is my dream sitter and for once I had a worry-free vacation.

Antonio and Cynthia were phenomenal and a wonderful couple. Lots of great communication throughout and they sent pictures of Griffin throughout his stay. You could tell that he had a great time and that they took good care of him. I would highly recommend them both. Thank you, Antonio and Cynthia for taking such great care of our little pooch.

Haley was great boarding my dog for 5 nights while we were on a trip! She was very responsive and sent pictures everyday! She did great with being slow with my shy dog and gaining her trust. It was awesome seeing how by the end of the trip my dog was really relaxed with her and enjoyed her stay. Definitely would book again and refer to others!
