“Gloria and her husband are caring and compassionate pet sitters! They took good care of our little dog, sending updates and photos. I felt very reassured and relaxed with the care they provided. Their home is the perfect place for a dog to play and be comfy, including a big fenced back yard. I highly recommend Gloria!”
“Feiran and her family loved our pup throughout his week and a half with them. Feiran is professional but relaxed, sent us at least one video a day of our bat playing with his new friends. We definitely recommend her for boarding services 🧡”
“My dogs had a great time staying at Meghan’s house. She sent me several pictures and communicated with me very well. I highly recommend Meghan and I will be calling her again to watch my dogs.”
“Aratrika and her husband were amazing with Linus. 1000% recommended. Linus was so well taken care of, we received daily updates on Linus activities with so many photos. Aratrika made sure Linus was getting enough eating and excercise and communicated any questions to us right away. We could tell Linus was so very comfortable with Aratrika and her husband. We woul love to have Linus taken care by Aratrika again anytime!!!”
“Ginger looked like she felt right at home at Katherine's. Katherine is very caring, capable and understanding. And I was very comfortable leaving Ginger in her charge. Thank you, Katherine!”
“Good communication and excellent care. Our dog is typically pretty anxious in new spaces/with new people, but she seemed to do really well with 2 overnights at Rae’s. Definitely recommend highly.”
“Kellie was phenomenal with our dog, Baylee. We had been having problems with Baylee eating and Kellie was able to find something she would eat. Along with managing the number of treats Baylee received, Kellie took Baylee for numerous walks (I think daily), that we think our dog lost weight - which was desperately needed. We are continuing with Kellie's start to a new regimen for Baylee in hopes of making her healthier. Thanks for everything, Kellie!!”
“Caitlin is the absolute best!!! We left Miles with her while we were gone away for the week, she was so very attentive and wonderful! We got pictures of Miles the entire time we were gone! She intuitively knows dogs and what they need and I trust her 100%!!! She knew what Miles needed to help him feel safe and comfortable even though he is a nervous pup I know he felt loved and cared for while we were gone! Caitlin is AMAZING!!!!!”
“Rachel clearly loves animals, and did an excellent job of sending pictures and keeping us updated! Also, her cat Henry is so chill and friendly, and our Tessa had an excellent time with both of them. We'll definitely rebook with Rachel!”
“Amazing sitter! Sharkey had the best weekend ever. He came home happy, relaxed, and very pleased with himself. I loved the photo updates and the extra care she gave him. He was clearly spoiled in all the right ways. Five stars and a tiny dramatic dog bow from Sharkey himself.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from large breeds to small, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I currently have both a big dog and a small dog, so I’m experienced in handling different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For the past three years, I’ve been walking dogs in my neighborhood and have also provided dog sitting on many occasions. I’m comfortable with heavy shedders, high-energy pups, and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and excited for our time together — like they’re hanging out with their cool, responsible aunt who always shows up and truly cares. As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care. I am completely free all day on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for boarding, house sitting, or long walks. On my class days (Tuesday-Thursday), I'm still available for evening visits and overnight stays. Your pet will receive plenty of focused attention and one-on-one playtime during my days off and a does of puppy therapy is always awesome for a busy college student like me. I strive to create a 'home away from home' environment. My two dogs are not with me on campus so no need to worry with dog on dog interaction. I’m experienced with crate training and happy to accommodate any specific house rules you have. I provide constant updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy
“Rose was absolutely amazing with our dog! She’s so responsive and sweet. She sent us pictures and videos, and just made everything so seamless. We cannot wait to use her again!”
“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”
About: We’re a dedicated two-person team, so your dog gets more consistent attention, love, and supervision than they would with a single sitter. We’re known for being patient, gentle, and extremely reliable — we always stick to your dog’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. And we send regular photos and updates so you never have to worry about how your pup is doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home. I’m around throughout the day, my partner and I also share responsibilities. So there’s always someone available for walks, playtime, or cuddles. In my home, pets get a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I have two friendly dogs and a bunny, so visiting pets are never lonely — but I always introduce animals slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and set up with separate spaces in case a dog needs quiet time, their own area, or a break from other pets.
“This was our second time boarding with Brittany, and we will be back! She takes the best pictures and gives us daily updates, and our pup was SO excited to see her when we dropped her off!”
“Makinzee was amazing! She boarded my cat for the holiday and sent me frequent updates the whole time. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet boarding services!”

Our two dogs boarded with Milo for a week. We can tell from the pictures, and their attitude when we picked them up, that they were happy and well-cared for. They especially got lots of snuggles, their favorite thing in the world! We would be happy for our dogs to stay with Milo again in the future.
Our two dogs stayed with Matt for almost a week. We were impressed by Matt's professionalism and his dedication to keeping our pups happy, especially during a big thunderstorm. Bisco and Youppi need lots of attention and we can tell they got it, both from the pictures and updates from Matt, and by how calm and happy the dogs were when we picked them up!
