“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Diana’s care. This is the first time I left my dog overnight with someone and I have had my dog nine years. Now I can go places that don’t accept dogs and I feel comfortable leaving him behind.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Honestly, from the moment we met during the consultation we were immediately at ease. My pup had plenty of love while we were gone ( 13 days) and was actually sad when she came home - we think from missing Agueda! We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and if you are hesitating to book, don’t! She is great!”
“Diana took care of our girl Maya very well and she sent daily updates with pictures. Maya seemed very happy in her place as seen in the pictures. We would surely go back there and we highly recommend Diana to be a sitter.”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”
“Shania was great with our frenchie Belle. She loved her time there and Shania provided us with daily pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book again the next time we are in need of boarding.”
“Thank you Katia for taking care of Macey. I loved the pictures and videos you sent. I high recommend Katia to care for your pet too. I will also take Macey to her when/if she is for my next vacation. 💜”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“Hi awesome Claudia & Cris! Your dogs are just so.. adorable!!🥰😊 Thanks so much for being there at such very short notice. Your sharing videos of Joby plainly sees he is having a wonderful time. We could see him smiling all around. Yessssss! I totally would recommend Claudia & Cris to care for your fur baby. We are one happy customer and will most definitely be back for future times ahead.😁😂😂”
About: Hi! My name is Kyle. I’m a dedicated dog lover who enjoys providing plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every dog feels right at home. What sets me apart? I’m part of a dog loving household with a built in furry supervisor our Yorkie, Zola! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 7 years old and have had the privilege of caring for my two Pitbulls back in the Philippines for 16 wonderful years, as well as my Siberian Husky for 10 amazing years before they passed away. They were more than pets they were family. They taught me the importance of patience, love, and providing care through every stage of a dog’s life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether they’re energetic puppies, playful adults, or sweet seniors, I make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away, like they’re enjoying a fun little vacation of their own. Please note: • Your dog must be current on flea prevention and vaccinations. • Please let me know if your dog has any health condition or illness that could be contagious to other pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life. I love staying active, so daily walks, playtime, and quality time with furry friends come naturally. I enjoy creating a routine where pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a fun adventure outside, some extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where every dog is treated like family. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sonia was great with my fur babies! She is organized and compassionate about caring for dogs. She has a clean environment and nice sized yard for dogs to get exercise and use. She also provided walks, which is another great feature since my dogs are use to daily walks. She provided several updates, pictures, and videos of my dogs that helped put me at ease. When I picked my dogs up, they were happy and content. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Cristina was the best sitter I have had for Valentina! She was extremely communicative and made me feel that Valentina was safe throughout her whole stay. I had several delays to my trip and Cristina was super flexible, allowing Valentina to stay longer than expected. We appreciated this so much. Book with Cristina, she is awesome!”
“She was great with our senior dog. Definitely made this first experience a pleasant one and will use this app again in the future thanks to her great service.”
“First time booking with with my two golden retrievers and it was a great experience all around. Priscilla and Pascual were super friendly, easy to work with, and had great communication the entire time. My dogs came back happy and healthy, which says everything. Pick up and drop off was very convenient, and pricing felt fair. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”

“Jovi is truly one of a kind. She consistently goes above and beyond every single time she watches my cats. Not only does she take incredible care of them (they absolutely love her) but she also leaves my home spotless, even cleaner than I left it 😭 You can tell she genuinely cares, not just about the pets but about creating a safe environment. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who treats them like her own. At this point, she’s not just a cat sitter she’s part of our family. I couldn’t recommend her more 💖”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“Cynthia was amazing and looked after our cats with care. She was able to do drop ins with ease and even spent time playing with them and giving them some love. Cynthia goes above and beyond what is asked of her and truly cares about animals and giving peace of mind to pet owners. She sent photos and daily updates and cleaned up after them. Highly recommend! Thank you again Cynthia”
“Elizabeth was great with PoPanda. She took excellent care of my bunny and was very patient with her. This was my longest trip away from my pet so I was very worried but Elizabeth made the entire experience pleasant. I knew PoPanda was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and would hire Elizabeth again.”
About: Welcome to my page! I like to show kitties my love by making them feel at ease and trusting me to have a more positive experience all around. I have taken care of cats belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a great experience even with the shy fur babies.
“My Budgies (Bruce and Ru) just love visits from Marie when I’m away from home. I’m so happy that she’s willing to take the time to “hang out” with them and she always updates me with videos and pics. She’s the best and Bruce and Ru totally agree!”
“the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience fostering dogs and caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—whether that’s active play, long walks, or relaxed cuddle time. I have a rescued doodle who I trained to become a certified therapy dog, and we volunteer together at schools. He gets along well with all the dogs that come into our home. I also foster with a senior dog rescue, giving me experience with older dogs who need extra patience and care. We live in a small house with a large, fenced-in yard that dogs absolutely love. I’m attentive, gentle, and experienced in administering medication, and I treat every dog with love to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my daily life. Working from home allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent—whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, or a calm, comforting presence. I dedicate as much time as possible to caring for and bonding with the pets I sit for. I offer a safe, loving, and relaxed environment for pets in my care. I live in a cozy, private home located at the back of a quiet property, complete with a securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely explore and play. My own dog, a gentle and friendly 35-pound doodle, is incredibly calm and welcoming with other dogs. He’s been a wonderful companion while I’ve fostered senior dogs and often sets a great example with his mellow demeanor and friendly energy.
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.
“Dominique did a fantastic job. She took care of my 3 cats for day and everything went perfect. Easy to contact, easy drop off and pick. Nice place for the cats to stay. Highly recommend.”
“Agueda was a wonderful sitter and took great care of my pup! She sent updates and photos during the stay. My dog seemed relaxed and comfortable in her space. I absolutely recommend her and hope to see her again in the future!”
About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I aim for 3-4 walks per day with my dog.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since childhood. Friends and family have entrusted me to care for their dogs over the years and I love it. I don't have any pets at this time and would enjoy spending time with your fur baby. I'm currently working part time so I have the time and energy to devote to loving pet care. I enjoy spending time with my grand dog but would love more interaction. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced and gated outdoor patio area, which includes a dog run section. The neighborhood is also very walkable and I take frequent strolls around the area.
“As a 1st time user of this app and service to walk my 95lb XL pit I was a bit nervous. I requested a last minute booking with James an hour before the time I selected and he accepted right away! James is very friendly with a calm energy and has years of experience with many different large breeds. James showed up on time and well prepared with items I hadnt thought of and it was much appreciated. James did a fantastic job walking my XL pit sending regular updates from start to finish. I highly recommend giving James a try if your in need of a dog walker. His fees are reasonable so I was able to afford an hour booking. I will be using James again in the near future exclusively for any sessions booked.”
About: Hi there! My name is Audrey Wall. I’m excited to use my passion and experience with animals for your pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve had the best experience sitting a variety of dogs back in 2021. I had to pause my sitter duties because of my active duty status, but now that I’m retired, I’d love the opportunity to watch your pets. While my services are limited to daily walking and drop-in visits, the love and care I’ll provide are limitless! I understand what it can feel like to be worried about your pet being home alone while you’re away, so please allow me to put your mind at ease! My schedule is flexible, so I will always try to move my daily tasks to fit your needs! All I ask is for clear and frequent communication. I live in a single-family residence with a large grass backyard. I have a 90 lb, 8 year old rescue who is not friendly with other animals, so unfortunately, I cannot do in-sitter home boarding.
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home
“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”
“Elizabeth was great! She was available on short notice to take care of my sweet Boop! He loved walking with her while we were away. I’d definitely book with her again if we’re away.”
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I am dependable and very loving towards dogs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long energetic walk, I am here to help. I am currently a student at San Diego State University and am now on break for a couple months. I have very open availability on mornings and afternoons throughout the week. I will always be keeping on eye out for your dog and making sure they are safe. I will tailor the walks to your dogs needs and always use secure leashes.

Puedo cuidar a tu mascota después de una operación, darle curaciones y tratamientos, en caso de necesitarlo, con la responsabilidad de quien ha dedicado su vida a los animales. Puedo llevarlo a tu veterinario de confianza o a tu Grooming de confianza. El cuidado de mascotas no es un extra, es mi estilo de vida. Organizo mi día para ofrecer un entorno seguro y tranquilo. Mi prioridad es mantener las rutinas de alimentación o paseo habituales de la mascota, respetando siempre su ritmo natural y dándoles atención individualizada cada día. Amo llevarlos al parque y a la playa. Mi prioridad es mantener la consistencia. En mi casa o la del cliente, replico exactamente los horarios de comida, paseos y descanso de la mascota para evitar estrés. Gracias a mi experiencia con diferentes razas, sé crear un ambiente de seguro, limpio y lleno de atención personalizada.
About: Hello there! I understand you may need someone to look over your fur-baby?! Well, here’s why I’d be a perfect fit! I have been taking care/looking over dogs for 10+ years! I have had two cocker spaniels, a golden retriever/chowchow mix, a cattle dog/Rottweiler mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois. I have also dog-sat for numerous friends and family throughout the years. Anything and everything from letting them go out for a potty break, getting them some grubs, getting some play time, going for a stroll, or simply having human interaction while their favorite human is out. I will always make sure they have the best possible care as if they were my fur-baby. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a message! Hope to meet your pup soon! I am currently working part time but am extremely flexible with my schedule. If things need to be moved around feel free to send me a detailed message. I’m not able to promise that things can always be switched around, but I will try my best to accommodate. I will always make sure your pet is being watched whether inside or out so you can rest assured they will be in the safest hands possible.
“Megan is wonderful! Takes my dog Hera for long walks every time and spends time with her. Megan also takes pictures of my sweet girl and send them to me every time she walks her! Will definitely continue to book with her!!”
About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.

“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Diana took care of our girl Maya very well and she sent daily updates with pictures. Maya seemed very happy in her place as seen in the pictures. We would surely go back there and we highly recommend Diana to be a sitter.”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“First time booking with with my two golden retrievers and it was a great experience all around. Priscilla and Pascual were super friendly, easy to work with, and had great communication the entire time. My dogs came back happy and healthy, which says everything. Pick up and drop off was very convenient, and pricing felt fair. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”
“Analisa was great! She was communicative throughout our trip. She sent us pictures and updates. She’s very sweet and took great care of our Nini. We definitely will be booking with Analisa in the future.”
“Holger and his wife were amazing! This is the first time away from our pup and they made me feel so comfortable. I received pictures daily and did not have to worry about Kali. Thank you!! 5 STARS!”
“John & Francesca were so fantastic with our young 60 lb pittie! They were so accommodating to his routine and quirks. We received pics and updates of his staycation. Highly recommended!!!!”

“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Christine was amazing! She provided a wonderful, welcoming environment with lots of space for our Thor to wander around. Communication was top notch with daily updates and great pictures sent. Will definitely book with again!”

This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”
