About: I’ve taken care of pets for two years, it’s been a fun experience. I get to meet new pets and make them feel like home. I’m currently working from home, that gives me enough time for your pups and cats. I’m available for morning walks on weekdays 9am I live in a area where pups like to run, my home is a safe place as well where they are taken care of as if they are mine

“Aleksei and Galina were amazing with Finn. We are so thankful they went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable to leave him in their care while we needed to travel shortly after he had surgery. Finny looked so happy in all of the photos and videos they sent and I felt informed on his wellbeing during his entire stay. I would definitely recommend Aleksei and Galina to petsit for anyone. It's clear they love dogs and will make any pet feel welcome.”

Finding Yasemin was truly the best decision we could have made. While we were enjoying the game, Keeper had an amazing day filled with love, cuddles, and attention. She treated him like he was her own fluffy little pup. We received plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll leave Keeper with Yasemin again without a second thought. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you again soon. 🐾”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.

About: I've lived with and cared for cats for several years and truly enjoy their unique personalities. I understand that some cats are social and cuddly while others prefer space, and I always respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, play sessions, brushing when tolerated, and general cleanup. I focus on keeping the litter area, your home, and your pet clean and comfortable. I'm very good at following directions and will ask thoughtful clarifying questions during our first visit to make sure I understand your cat's routine. I send consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!”
“Anastacia was amazing with my two cats! They’re pretty shy with new people but they seemed to take to her right away. She was very responsive and asked about specific care details, which made me feel like she really cares. I feel confident my cats were happy with her, and will happily book her again for my next trip.”
About: Hi, I’m Paula! I know that in the Bay Area, our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. Whether you’re heading to a tech summit, a weekend in Tahoe or just have a long day at the office, I’m here to provide peace of mind. :)
“Josh was awesome. He was able to build rapport with my dogs so quickly which is definitely not the easy. Josh was super communicative with lots of great pictures and videos. I could tell the dogs were very comfortable and happy with Josh. 100% will ask for Josh’s help next time we travel.”
“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”
“Sara was so awesome! She was friendly, responsible, and an animal lover. Every time she sends us a report on the cat’s condition and It made us feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We were very satisfied with her service. We will definitely book Sara next time.”
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
“Arianna took great care of Eevee while we were out for two weeks! Arianna was very communicative and responsive and did everything that was asked. Eevee looks happy and healthy when we got back. We would for sure use Arianna’s services again!”

“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.
“We had a wonderful experience. They took such good care of my dog—very attentive, patient, and loving. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Otto looked happy, well-exercised, and completely comfortable when I picked him up. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We have left Bingo with Irina several times after a meet & greet, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. She is a caring, attentive, and highly responsive sitter who truly goes the extra mile. We always received regular photos and videos of our little one, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We are very happy with her service and feel completely confident leaving Bingo in her care. We will definitely continue to use her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Thank you Kimberly for taking care of Basil! Kimberly was quick to respond, asked questions and sent lots of updates. Basil enjoyed her walks with Kimberly and I appreciated peace of mind knowing that my dog was being tended to while I was at work.”
“Andrew was fantastic. We were a little nervous about taking her to a sitter since she is pretty nervous but Andrew did a great job taking care of her. We also appreciated all of the pictures he sent us through the day. We look forward to returning again soon!”
“Courtney is so great with Arthur! Arthur is always excited to see her and she keeps me updated throughout the day of their adventures. My little boy always comes home happy after a day with Courtney.”
“Thank you so much to Christina and Joseph for accepting my last minute request. They hosted my puppy in their home and she had such a fun time that she would cry every time we would leave. I also appreciated your flexibility with pick up times. Thank you for allowing my puppy to explore, play with your pup Laker and for taking such great care of her!!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

About: Hi, I’m Paula! I know that in the Bay Area, our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. Whether you’re heading to a tech summit, a weekend in Tahoe or just have a long day at the office, I’m here to provide peace of mind. :) I’m currently working part-time, flexible schedule!! I’m sure I’ll be able to help you take care of your most precious baby!! I have a fence yard at home for those pups and kitties that need to stay over night! Very safe area and amazing safe space to be around.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
About: I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for both dogs and cats over the years, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. With dogs, I have experience raising one from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention they need as they grow. I have experience with daily walks, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping dogs safe during walks by being mindful of things like hot pavement with summer weather. Additionally, I taught my dog fun tricks like “sit” and “paw,” which strengthened our bond and reinforced positive behavior. I have even more experience with cats, having cared for my own cat for over three years as well as multiple kittens and stray cats. Through this experience, I’ve learned to recognize their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide the care, patience, and affection they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets. My goal is for both you and your furry family member to feel comfortable, confident, and worry-free while you’re apart. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which means I’m available for bookings throughout the whole week! Feel free to reach out anytime as I’d love to help care for your furry family members whenever you need a reliable sitter or walker. Please feel free to let me know before I care for your pet if you have any special requests, routines, or precautions you’d like me to follow. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible while you’re away. For example, if they don’t like being petted in certain areas, have specific feeding or medication schedules, need extra patience around new people or other animals, have favorite toys or walking routes, or have any other unique preferences, I’d be more than happy to accommodate them. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to providing the personalized care they deserve.
“I really appreciated Michael’s excellent communication skills, promptness, and reliability. He was also very patient with my pup, even in the face of her anxious barking behaviour.”
About: I’m a local elementary school teacher who loves spending time with animals. During the school year, I teach full-time, and outside of the classroom I enjoy caring for pets in my community. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I helped walk and care for our family dogs, and as an adult I’ve continued dog walking and pet sitting both here in California and while living in the Boston area. I’m also an experienced cat owner with three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. One of my cats had significant behavioral challenges, which led me to work with an animal behaviorist and spend countless hours learning about feline behavior. Through patience, positive reinforcement, and clicker training, I taught him tricks and helped him become much more comfortable around people. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates.
About: I have had experience with dogs and cats all my life and I even had a dog myself. I've had neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are gone on vacation. I work full time Monday- Friday from 8am-3pm. I am available to pet sit, dog walk, and do drop ins if that works with your pets schedule. I’m completely free on weekends. I would love to help keep your fur babies company while you or your family is away for vacation. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would prefer to stay in the client's home rather than bring their pet to my home. I will do everything that the pet's owner would like me to do while they are gone.
About: I am a relative new comer but I make up for this with lots of time and great soul. I wish to become part of the pet-ite bourgeoisie I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm mostly available for all days of the week now that summer is in! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals over to my home without permission but I can stay and take care of animals at your place for a long while
“We have been using molly for our puppy and our 4 year old dog and they LOVE molly. She’s been such a great add on to our lives and has made things so much easier. She is so patient and loving! Highly recommend Molly! <3”
“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes! From my 95lb golden retriever and my grandpas 120lb giant schnauzer to my aunts 10lb chihuahua and my cat! Love any and all pets and will devote my full attention to them! I’m an active college student (currently at home for summer break!), so I can always squeeze in some pet time throughout the day! Also have lots of free time on the weekends and evenings. I will always be respectful for your spaces and belongings! Will only interact with the pet and nothing more. It’ll be like I was never there!
“Meric is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. He’s kind, conscientious, gentle with an old dog and made sure Remi was watered and fed as well. He matched Remi’s mood and either hung out or exercised him. We would definitely use him again.”
About: I have a combination of flexibility, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I also have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I understand the unique needs of each stage of life—whether it’s helping a puppy with training and socialization, or providing extra comfort and patience for a senior pet. I also work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stick to your pet’s routine, provide extra walks or playtime, and respond quickly to any needs or updates.

I can adjust visits, walks, or care to fit your preferences and ensure your pets feel happy and well cared for. 🙂 I provide care at the client’s home or during walks, depending on the service requested. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, administering medications if needed, providing fresh water, and giving plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure your home stays safe and tidy during visits. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level, with plenty of exercise and opportunities for mental stimulation.
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
About: I grew up in a multiple pet family; taking care of the cats, ducks and family dog. Over the last couple decades I have rescued animals including my cat 20 years ago. I have also enjoyed caring for my friends and family animals while away, and any stray wildlife that comes my way too:) Right now I am working to start a resin company, and have a very flexible schedule. My care schedule for my animals is structured but flexible, so we can work with many different demands, my cat communicates surprisingly well :) I follow whatever instructions are given before and during visits, care and safety are of the utmost importance. If there is ever a question, I do really love communication so I'm asking and my ears are always perked!
About: Currently transitioning to full time pet sitting! Would love to work with you 🐶🐩🐱🐈 With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and preferences. I'm skilled at handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and have experience with puppy training and senior care. I will take care of your home as well, and make sure your pets are having a great time while you’re away! I am dedicated to meeting your pet's needs. As a devoted dog walker and sitter, I am available throughout the week and can accommodate to your schedule. As an avid walker myself, I'm eager to provide your dog with plenty of exercise and playtime outside. I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, ensuring dogs are properly hydrated, monitoring their behavior, and avoiding high-traffic areas. When in your home, I respect your space and follow any and all specific instructions provided. I make sure to keep your home in pristine condition.
About: I’ve cared for and owned dogs, cats, reptiles, and rats since I was a kid. I love dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments. Currently I just have a quail. I love caring for animals of all kind! I am patient and am open to caring for pets with special needs, especially with detailed instructions. Non-traditional pets don’t scare me, although spiders are not my favorite. They’re cute, I just don’t want to touch them. Haha. Am happy to take doggos on fun outdoor walks and give them lots of exercise! Cats will get lots of exercise, playing, and love, catered to their preferences. I currently work part-time tutoring kiddos virtually, and caring for my elderly Father-in-law in Monterey some weekends. I prefer drop-in care and giving walks, but am open to house-sitting depending on the details. I am happy to come to your home to meet and talk about the care if your pet(s). I live in a small apartment, so I won't be boarding any animals. Not only do I follow instructions well (I’m an elementary teacher, so I’m good at that), I also love to give animals snuggles and care and am happy to send hourly pictures.

“Kimmy and Jesse are simply the best. They take such great care of my dog, give him lots of love and play time. They went above and beyond when my dog had some GI issues for a few days. Their communication is excellent. Thank you guys for everything!”
“Milo had lot of fun with Daniel and Emily like the last time. They are my go to folks for taking care of Milo while I am away. Appreciate them going the extra mile with taking him out for long walks, playing & cuddling with him. Daniel is amazing with updates.”
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”
“My husband and I traveled all the way from Texas to watch the World Cup match, and we were looking for someone trustworthy to take care of our Keeper. Finding Yasemin was truly the best decision we could have made. While we were enjoying the game, Keeper had an amazing day filled with love, cuddles, and attention. She treated him like he was her own fluffy little pup. We received plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll leave Keeper with Yasemin again without a second thought. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you again soon. 🐾”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
“Manli provided a Warm & Loving Home for my girl China. She sent Tons of Pictures every day that all showed how Happy China was playing with Manli’ beautiful Family and the other Dogs! I would HIGHLY Recommend her to Anyone looking for a Happy Place where their Dog can Play!!! 😁”
“Kathryn and Denis are top notch dog people. They and their family provided a cozy and welcoming home for our high energy pup. Our dog does not always settle in quickly but did so quickly with this beautiful family. She, the dog, even appeared to mind her manners. Thank you K & D.”
“The sweetest dog deserves the sweetest sitter! Anam kindly did a meet and greet with us before a multi-night stay. Our dog quickly warmed up to all the love and attention. Anam provided just the right amount of photos and updates. Piper enjoyed her stay!! Thank you so much!!”
“Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!”
“Margaret takes great care of our pup when he stays over. She's very knowledgable and experienced with dogs and their behavior and language, and she helps train and work on his behavior. He's always so well behaved when he comes home, and he's happy in all the videos and photos she sends. She's very communicative and sends lots of updates. We're happy to have found someone who can watch him when we're gone.”
“Very attentive and thorough! Took my dog for long walks, made sure she was well-fed, and paid close attention when she was around another dog. Would highly recommend!”
“my dog stayed with Edward for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided. Edward is incredibly responsive, which immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, he went the extra mile by sending me pictures of my furry friend, allowing me to see firsthand that my dog was doing great. It’s fantastic to know that my pup had the opportunity to explore and stay active during the boarding period. The added bonus of socializing with other dogs was something I was truly excited about, and Edward made sure my dog had plenty of playtime with them. I highly recommend Edward for anyone in need of a caring and attentive dog boarding service. Thank you for taking care of my furry friend!”
“Mel and his family took excellent care of our pup. From daily walks and lots of time playing outside to introducing him to other kids, it was clear he was getting plenty of attention and socialization. Mel was also incredibly communicative, sending prompt updates along with great pictures and videos throughout the stay. It made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Mel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“James did a terrific job with our two girls Beans and Izzy. Beans is an extremely shy dog and is very reluctant to trust strangers, so we are always anxious about leaving her with someone new. James was extremely patient gaining her trust though and went out of his way to make her feel comfortable and happy. When we picked them up both dogs were doing great and giving him kisses! He sent us home with some home-made treats, which was a wonderful touch. We hope James can watch our girls in the future, he did such a great job.”
