“Ash was great and had to much patience with our Coconut. Unfortunately our pup was anxious and not acclimating well with the other doggy’s in the home. However, Ash was nothing short of great, she allowed Coconut her own space and allowed her time to come around. She kept us updated and provided great feedback! Would recommend this sitter!!”


“Kelly is an amazing person. She loves pets, and Aiko had an excellent time with her. She sent us photos all the time and always stayed in touch. I would definitely leave Aiko with her again.”


“This was my first time leaving my Chihuahua in the care of Joy and Matthew, and I will definitely call upon them again when I need to board her. They provided me regular updates and were so attentive to her needs. I knew she was in good hands while I was out of town - priceless.”


“My puppy is so happy when she stays with Asher, she’s so excited to see him, and she enjoys playing and cuddling! She’s always glad when we get there. She gets very excited when I tell her we’re going to the babysitters.”


“Brooke was great. Was very accommodating to a few last minute things that came up which was beyond helpful. Her place was nice and clean with a big backyard for Casper to run around. Very nice and professional.”


“Eric was an awesome sitter! He took our dog out often, kept him entertained, and even took professional photos of him. We are pleased with his clean environment and the care he’s shown towards Maurice. Eric replies quickly and gives updates throughout the day. I’d highly recommend him!!”


“Alex is a godsend for our family. She is wonderful with our dog and we have zero concerns leaving our treasured pup in her care for daycare and boarding. Cannot recommend her more highly !”


“Elena and her husband were the BEST with our girl. We felt very comfortable from drop off to pick up. We had a delay in our flight home and Elena was very understanding and accommodating. We recommend her and her husband any time and look forward to booking with her again!”


“Tracy was fantastic with our pugs when we were out of town for the holidays! She was responsive, flexible, and our pups had a great time. She sent us pictures each day, was very understanding with all the flight delays we had, and was really good about answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend Tracy and we plan on using her in the future ? THANK YOU!!”


“Angela and her family really care about the service they provide for your pets, they treat them like their own. We love all the updates with pics that Angela sends. I would highly recommend Angela.”


“My husband and I had to find a baby sitter for a day because we had a day-long event and wanted our pups taken care of since we would be out for so long. I found Huaqing and her profile checked all of our boxes. We have a 3 year old Pomeranian and a 4 month old Rottweiler, and she took the greatest care of them! She sent us so many pictures throughout the day of their walk breaks and them playing, and it gave me such relief to know our babies were having a great time! When we picked them up they slept right away because I know they had a blast and saw/ sniffed so many new things. Huaqing even packed us a bag of treats and a kind note talking about her day with the doggies. I would recommend her to anyone because I could tell she really does care about pets and their well- being. Thank you again a million time Huaqing!!”



“Macy was in great care and Pamela kept in contact with me over concerns about Macy not feeling well. Macy ended up being fine, but her communication with what was going on was much appreciated! Would definitely love to bring Macy back.”


“Alicia is absolutely great. We loved that she has a Google Doc to fill out important information for our dog, Zoe. She was accommodating and answered all of our many questions when we met with her. We received pictures and videos while we were away and Zoe had a good time. We will definitely have Alicia take care of Zoe again.”


“I couldn’t be happier with Alyssa and her family and the care they provided for my Rottie Odin. It usually takes him awhile to feel comfortable with new people, but she was sending pictures of him looking so happy and at home in just a few hours. She is clearly very knowledgeable about dog training and worked on this too while he was there. She was very communicative and sent many pictures and put my mind at ease the entire time I was gone. I am booking the next stay right now!”



“Julia was great with Oakley. Lots of pictures and videos from his stay made me feel glad he was well taken care of. Oakley played so much that he had to take a few days worth of naps to catch up.”



“I had my trip to China for one month and left my 6-pound Yorkie with Catherine. She is very nice, constantly gave me updates and new photos, and my dog had a great time there. My dog is usually scared of new environments or being around with other dogs, but he had a great time here and played well with Bones and Gigi. I will definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend!”


“I cannot thank YLexus and Heather enough for taking such incredible care of my Great Dane while I was away for my nephew’s military graduation. From the moment we met at the initial meeting, I could tell they were kind, professional, and genuinely cared about my dog. The drop-off was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my gentle giant in their hands. 😍 Throughout my trip, YLexus and Heather kept me in the loop with updates, photos, and messages, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was hundreds of miles away. It was so reassuring to know that my pup was in such loving and capable hands. 🫶🏽 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these lovely ladies! They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🐶🐾”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last several years. I’m happy to take care of and get to know any kind of pet!! I’m in Physician Assistant school currently on clinical rotations. My schedule changes a bit week to week but there is plenty of time for me to take care of your furbabies. I’m happy to walk, let dogs out, and feed pets before and after work on days I go to clinic. On days I’m not working I’d be able to spend even more time with your pets, playing with them and keeping them company in addition to taking care of them! Just let me know what will make you most comfortable in terms of caring for your pets- walks on a leash, going out in the yard with them, feeding/treat schedules, medication schedules, etc. I’m happy to maintain your pets routine.

“Sai was so great with Patti! This was my first time using this service and had never left Patti with a sitter before. Sai went above and beyond to make sure me and my fur baby were comfortable. He met with us before the visit and was very generous about showing us around and talking us through his plan. He shared pictures every day and updates on how the dogs were getting along since I was nervous about that. He walked them multiple times a day. Patti is in early stages of training, and Sai was incredibly patient with her and reassuring to me. He also shared the food he was giving his dog Sokka (who is a beautiful sweet boy), but was always checking and asking permission before doing anything like that. Lastly, Sai even called and coordinated with Patti’s trainer for just in case! So happy with Sai and Sokka and will definitely be booking again. Patti had a great time!”
